I was at Thunderhill Raceway on Wednesday and paid $60 for 10 gallons of 100 octane, gas here in Ca. is more expensive than Wa., don't complain, or sell your car and buy a little econobox

I can't freaking IMAGINE those people that drive full-sized cars, trucks, or SUVs to work for a long distance every day. I'm feeling the pinch as well, although I can still find 92 octane around here for $2.55 if I shop around. As soon as it's less expensive to buy ethanol than gasoline I'll probably make the switch. I have a friend that wants to get a 50 gal/day work capacity 'stil and make fuel ethanol out of food waste and grain

Gas prices will finally come back down.... when does GW get out of office? D@mn self-serving-rape-the-world-b@stard

Seriously I have never fit more than about 13.1 in my car, after runing more than 40 miles with the yellow light on. I think that pump is miscalibrated.

11.3 gallons of Sunoco 94 today for 2.67 a gallon.

as for the 14.3, maybe you had some gas in the tube and maybe the gas station ripped you off.

I have a Tundra with a v8 and a Pilot with a v6 and both seem to do better on gas than the EVO even though they hold more gas....... I think I need a better tune..... I get about 225 miles per tank...
