That is it
I am selling my TL and getting a Civic Si. I REALLY can NOT afford paying $80 for each tank I fill up. That lasts me less than a week too. I'm sick and tired of that shit. I'm going completely broke...

why is everyone complaining today? Its like national Bitch on Acurazine Tuesdays or something....
Edit: 1) you're 18 and should be driving a civic not an 07 TL
2) how are you paying 80 dollars to fill up? I pay 4.35 a gallon up here in Lake Forest, IL
3) this car gets 25-32 MPG if you dont drive like a total schmuck.....
4) Make more money, drive less, drive smarter....if all else fails....buy a prius

Don't feel bad OP; I just sold my TL and am now getting HALF the mileage I used to...of course, I bought an M5, but that's beside the point.

3) I drive normal, and the best MPG I've gotten is 26.
I wish I would've had a camera with me to take a picture for you. I think gas stations are putting 87s in premiums or something...

Yeah I will only goto Shell 91+ highest I have paid filling her up is maybe $60... If I drive nice, I get 320 to 350 a tank... That lasts me all week... I agree with Lucnex, on 1 thru 4...
Also what is with everyone today lol

something is wrong with you.
what's your MPG?
even if they are putting 87 in the 91/93 which is not true, it still wouldn't be 80 dollars to fill up
you dont know how your paying 80 to fill up?
when you buy a car think about it the price is going to go up somewhere you should be prepared

So, I should be driving a Civic, not an 07 TL? You think people on this forum would be a little more mature than that. I've had this car for almost a year, without one single complaint, until gas went up like crazy. What is your point again?

put seafoam in it, it will solve everything!
You just said you were gonna sell your TL because gas was too expensive....I would say it was immature of you to assume gas wasn't going to approach almost 5 dollars a gallon...(and dont expect it to stop going up)....you are the one who is freaking out about your nice TL cause of gas...
Like I said, buy a prius or a volt if you are concerned about gas

Damn!
My gas mileage used to be better, but lately it's just been drinking way more gas than usual.

it does not cost $80 to fill up the TL tank. it costs about $60-$65 for premium gas at about $4.25 a gallon
you must have a hole in your gas tank or something
you should invest in something like this

I might try to put seafoam in it and see if that helps. I'm gonna try to drive less as well. If not, Si here I come.

boost them for 4k and you got like 300whp, 30mpg
Reliable
Cheap parts/fix/Honda
2006 Si goes for ~$12k
Turbo for $4k
= same price as my car
I'll give that a try, thanks for the link budd.

Big plans not enough $$$
Maybe some one is stealing your gas? or you need to do some maintenance on it, other than that and checking your tire pressure, you should be fine.
maybe not
