Been paying ~$4.40 for about 2 weeks now.

If prices hit $5 or more I'm gonna end up riding my Bicycle to school. Probably gonna end up picking up a Motorcycle towards summertime if prices don't get any better, just to use to get from A-B.

Haven't been able to take the truck out because that thing gets about ~13 per gallon city, really making me dread the fact that I'm driving it out to L.A. in a few weeks and then SF the week after that.

I DD my motorcycle so the gas prices dont bother me as much (50 MPG). My Evo only has 5600 miles on it, so its not complaining, unlike my girlfriend. "WHY YOU PAY ALL THAT MONEY TO LET THAT CAR SIT IN THE GARAGE???"...she doesnt know that if one of them has to go, ima drop her off at the bus station in the Evo ...

$3.70 with Kroger Plus, 10 cent savings if you buy groceries there.
$3.77 if you don't have points accumulated, but still have the card.
It's handy.

The base doesn't have premium here, just mid grade at 3.70 or so. I actually pay 150yen/liter. I filled up with 33 liters for 5000yen and that's about 8.4 gallons. For those who don't know, 5000yen is about 65 dollars.

Stationed. Base only carries mid grade, and its a joke compared to states mid grade.

Can you use an octane booster? Might be cheaper doing that.

What I heard is that the 2012 have a bit of a better calibration for the CTV so the gas savings are more frequent...

Not to mention we don't drive that car past 60mph and 70% of the time is spent on cruise and on the highway

That thing is sooooooooooo slow
