I paid 3.94 the other day only to realize the 2 gas stations down the street had 93 for 3.73 but whatever half the gas stations I go to here in GA don't even have 93 so an extra 2 bucks not to have to drive to a different gas station is worth it

your gas stations can price their own gas? Here, in a specific city, ALL gas stations have the same price. But if you drive 15 mins outside the city, it's about 2.5 cents per liter cheaper...

GA is known for prices gouging, last time gas prices went up certain station had 93 for 80cents more then regular, and premium is usually 20-30 cents more, at least in NY/NJ thats what it was, and the 2 places I have been the gas stations set the price

crazy...I didn't know that it operated like that...here reg vs premium is only about 3 cents different per liter....with only equates to about ( ~4 liters in a gallon) 12 cents more per gallon....80 cents more is just retarded

fuel prices jumped 4.9 cents overnight on Monday - we were sitting at $1.29 per liter (not gallon...) last night (that is for 87 octane)

it's gone down to $1.27 today, another reason why it sucks to leave in Toronto.....

Filled the car up for the first time today, $60 and some change for 16.2 gallons, and 93 octane. Doesn't bother be because I'm used to spending $87 to fill up my yukon on 87 octane and it lasting half as long as the Maxima haha

In california where gas is almost $5, I pretty much cry when I have to fill up. Learned it doesn't seem so bad to fill up at half a tank now....ha ha ha

Wanna save money and increase mpg? I challenge you in city driving to never rev above 2000 rpms. You might not fly out of every intersection but that needle will have a lot tougher time crawling to E.

Figures, 22s are like anchors. Depending on how you drive i'm surprised that you were getting 14.3.

5. Print receipt and divide miles driven by the gallons put in the tank.
6. That's your gas mileage.
Funny you say that because my computer is accurate to a drop. I know exactly when i'm on the last drop and have been able to confirm that at every fill up and twice when i ran out. Thing to remember is that the whole system holds about 21.6 Gallons of gas. I reset my ODO and MPG gauges at every fill up.

Same here mine is right on the money and I reset it every fill up and top it off.
Only thing that sucks is I just paid 4.39 a gallon in NY. Going to be a ***** filling up my boat 300 gallons
