i'm guessing the $5/gal was for unleaded. expect another 25 cents or so for premium. even though it's still bullcrap. oh man....octane is expensive....derrrr. and i don't know about you.....but $80 to fill up is not good. this is assuming you ran it down to the very last drop everytime, but you get the idea.

you have 3.2 right? i'm guessing that engine just needs regular. then that damn 2.5 is 'supposed' to have premium only. yeah yeah high compression. damn annoying. i mean....i know i could put in regular....but i get 'eh' mpg as it is. i don't need it lower. it's a lose-lose.

I used only premium too for my TL. When its too bad then I use my Honda Civic. Dont trade in your small compact cars. It comes in handy in times like these.
By the way folks, I ran across an AEM Fuel regulator. What is that use for anyway?
With that, can I limit the amount of fuel my car consume so that I can get more out of it or something, vice-versa?
Anyone have one installed on there car?

damn... looks like I will be riding local transit buses to work from now on.. Hate shelling out 45 bucks every week for gas too... oh well could be worse... My friend told me he fills up his big ass V8 expedition every week for 88 bucks! No wonder all these domestic companies w/gas guzzling trucks are giving out employee discounts!

you can't feel sorry for SUV owners....you just can't. when a vehicle has a 'gas guzzling' tax added on to it, yet a person buys it anyway......you CANNOT feel sorry for them.

probably not due to the fact that theyll have another kind of energy too make cars run more effectively. maybe theyll go back to steam engines....LOL
But too pay 5.00 a gallon thats a lot. thank goodness I have a company car and never pay attention to the gas bill cause its all paid through them

$80 per gallon by the end of 2006? That's pretty damn cheap.
