Gas Guzzlers

alright guys, since the prices for gas is still up there, just wondering how your mpg's are. i'm getting about 270 per fill up. mostly city driving and stop and go traffic. with gas at $2.20 per gallon in the bay area, it's hard to justify stomping on the gas to get to the next light.

DAMN!!! $2.20 per gallon...I've seen gas as low as $1.11 for reg and like $1.26 for premium in the Tulsa area. You pay almost $1.00 more per gallon than I do!! Sorry to hear that bro I remember paying a lot more back east about this same time last year. Better accelerate slowly.

I'm paying $1.40/gallon for Premium 93 - and I get about 370-390 miles per filled up. I mostly drive on the freeway between home-school-work. I'm living in Atlanta. The highest price that I paid was around $1.65/gallon for Premium.

This looks like the beginning of one of those "can you believe he said that" moments that one gets when reading the police blotter in the local newspaper.

I spend about $1.90 per gallon for 92-93 Octane and get about 280-320 miles on a tank of gas depending on how I drive and wether its highway driving or not.

Now that Gas is back on a rise I pay $1.39 a gallon for 93 Octane. I get no less than 330+ on a fill up and the light doesnt come on till round 360+. That's w/ wheels and weight in the trunk.
