It's a good think i only drive 1/2 mile to work. Most of my friends are 10 minutes away. I've cut down to only about 3 trips a week over that way. Nobody answered my question, What's the median price right now for a gallon of 87 octane in the cities? It's officially 2.29 here for 87. I saw diesel at a station tonight up to 2.48.

We're always around 14-17 cents more in WI so i'm gonna assume that we'll be 2.40's next week and 2.50's+ by the 4th for 87oct.

I just grin and bear it. I feel like I’m showing off filling up with 92 octane, I have modified some of my habits, basically drive less, and I try shopping for gas http://www.twincitiesgasprices.com/

I bought my car for a reason, a few extra bucks every tank isn't going to stop me from enjoying it. Prices were at $2.09 for 87 earlier today, but they've all seemed to climb to $2.16-2.25. My car enjoys a strict diet of BP 92 so I pay what I gotta pay.

If there wasn't 80,000 tanks and other military vehicles over seas using so much damn fuel we would have no gas problems.


It's all good though, remember, bush is at war to get the oil reserves, so give it a few more months and we will be paying $0.10 a gallon for 93 when we take all the oil like everyone "knew" bush was doing. ;)

I think the gas prices stink, but at least we have 2.0/2.4 liters. Because if we all had V8s with the same ¼ mile times as our four cylinders, we would get even worse mileage.

'Vettes and F-Bodies can get over 30 mpg on the highway with their double OD 6-speed MT trannies.
