Yup, I have a 05 Elise that will get a K series motor transplant this summer. Fully built, turbo... though I just sold my racecar 1993 240sx with a sr20det (turbo) motor, & Honda RC-51 (131rwhp).

I work with you realtors and know how much you guys drive. But then again, when you sell a house out here in CA, you make up for it. I don't make the big commission bucks like you guys do. My worst week so far in my new car has been 1,000 miles. Filling up 3 times that week at $3.50/gallon sucked *ss.

Yup. It's not that easy to sell a house though. Everyone likes to ask for kick backs, and cutting commission... BLAH. I feel you on the 1,000 miles in a week. I've cut down so that I don't do that anymore. I'm averaging 2000/month instead of 4000/month like when I first got in this business 2 years ago.
.....that's why I take TEH BUS YO!!

You're paying $3.45/gallon for Gasohol? Jeez, that's only hurting your fuel economy and performance while costing a ton. I didn't think CARB approved Gasohol for sale in CA.

i believe that almost ALL gasoline now is mixed with less than 10% ethanol

California absolutely uses ethanol, now that mtbe has been phased out. Wow, $3.25/gallon. In Iowa (granted, it's Iowa), 91 oct is about $2.65/gal. and, presently, there's no ethanol in it. The rack price of ethanol is higher than gasoline, in some places by a lot. It's in the gasoline only by mandate, not by economics.

I don't have a problem with Realtors as long as they look out for their clients, that's what they're there for. I can't stand the fly-by-night "I want to be rich" bastards (which you don't seem you are).
