It's $3 NOW in Chicago.

 

~$2.69 here. My tank is 18.x gallons and i get about 8-9 MPG in town.

 

dude! coalinga has an awesome road to drive on. head into the hills towards the 101. i made it all the way through in 32 minutes with my suzuki swift many years ago. god help us all if i had an evo at the time. (i was stationed at lemoore)

Maybe if the people of NC and every other RED state didnt vote for the a55hole in office back in November we wouldnt be dealing with nearly $3 a gallon for gas, thats what happens when you start wars with the people who have the oil over nothing at all.

 

Alright, here is what is going on. We are beginning to reach a point where our refiners can no longer keep up with growing US demand. We can no longer keep up with demand because we have not built a new refinery in this country in over 20 years due to strict environmental regulations. As soon as we can build more refineries to process all the oil that we get, and as soon as we begin to drill in ANWR, we will be fine. There is NO shortage of oil, NONE. This is about our ability to refine the oil.

 

Yep. HWY 198 from Coalinga to HWY 101 south of King City has all of the twisties that you could ever want (50 + miles). Smooth blacktop, hills, dips, tight banked turns,...I just don't have the courage or the experience to drive it really hard. Some of those turns have no barrier, though. One false move and

 

yeah, i was a younger and more reckless guy when i drove that. are you sure it is 50 miles? my memory says i did it in 32 minutes one night... and that would be too fast for a suzuki swift (think geo metro). most times i could do it in 38 minutes if i tried. *sigh* i always thought they should make a video game of that road.

anyways, thanks for stirring my memories. i may have to drive over there when i get back from iraq.

Ease down killer!!! Im military, and i feel the pain. I voted for Kerry, oh and i also sported his bumper sticker on my evo, and I allso had his sign up for 3 months in my yard in base housing. I feel ya bud. The funny thing is the people who say the war has nothing to do with gas prices, as if aircraft cariers and tank run on ****.

 

 

Some times you have to just suck it up! I take it below the E all the time.

 

Youre correct, that is the size of the fuel tank itself, doesnt include the filler neck, the fuel lines and rail and any other things containing gasloline.

Kyle.

 

last i checked, or thought, the aircraft carriers were nukes... the tanks (big boys) ran a turbine for power, but alas, all the little stuff runs on gas/diesel.

back on topic..

the TANK is 14 gallons.

plus the filler neck and all thats in the lines all the way up.

i'd say you filled the neck to the top, i'd put 14 gallons in my rsx before. (13.2 gal tank)

 

I filled 12.5 gallons last fill, and got about 210 to that tank with combined driving, I'll be happy to get around 220 to a tank. . . .I mean, I drive it like I stole it, if I drove it like a grandpa, then I'd probably get like 20mpg.

 

Just got back from Aruba to see that gas prices are up to $2.69 a gallon @ 93 octane (and that was cheap).

 

same thing happened to me.. i went on a cruise and when i left the prices were around 2.20.. i got back a week later they were up to 2.50++ dang
