I drive a GL450 now. I just filled up about 24 gallons of 93 at 3.94 and it was close to 100 bucks. I get about 15-16 city driving and about 18 19 on highway. Of course never stomping on the gas pedal lol. Just ridiculous. About 3 years ago it got to about 4.39 and then the demand fell and caused it to drop down below $2 a gallon. Hoping for the same now.

Im interested in knowing this...

Are you guys who are tuned getting better gas mileage or not any better than in stock? since evo's run pig rich from factory, will correcting this with a tune help gas mileage?

Premium here is around 3.85 ish. I really hope it comes down. I can hardly afford to keep the Evo right now anyway. Working part-time FTL. I've been driving like a dead grandma (slower than a grandma) ever since gas started goin up. My X is estimating ill get around 280 this tank.. and that's all city driving.

Here in Hungary the Shell VPower is around 420 HUF / liter. That is around 8,1$/gal.
So a fillup is 90-100$, and the hungarian avarage monthly salary is 500$

anybody care to provide input? is E85 still a performance-based decision?
It doesnt matter what kind of fuel you use in the long term. If they notice that E85 starts to sell more they will just up the price to level up the loss from 91/93. They will always get their cut. For example diesel is as much as regular gas here now.
