    I'm right there with ya! Just be glad you don't need 93 octane like me. I've been paying close to 3.40/gal!
    Nothing like the whine of a SC at full throttle!

    Just be glad you don't get 15mpg on 93 octane. High fuel prices + winter reformulated gas + rotary = sucky cost per mile. :-/

    Man I thought my gas mileage sucked. Kind of makes you think twice before you jump in the car to go somewhere.

    I have one....it's almost $70/week to fill. I need to get the back window on the car fixed so I can drive it more when it's crappy out.

    I put gas in the Corolla when it was at 2.80/gallon. A little over a week later, and it's at 2.99/gallon.

    Several months ago I was driving a Ford V10 turbo diesel. $20 got me a quarter tank. :/

    It's a rare limited edition.

    Kind of like the rare V6 turbo diesel Dodge Cummins pickup.

    It was not very popular because it was so hard to get to the spark plugs.

    On the bright side my mpg has gone up quite a bit due to the cold weather last week. 35 mpg up from 27. Still, 3.27 for super isn't any fun.

    I don't know what it costs to really fill up my truck any more... most of these pumps around here stop you at $75... and I refuse to swipe my card again...

    Price is going up because the Trans Alaska pipeline had to be shut down to repair a leak in the #1 pump station at Prudoe Bay. Its back to capacity now using a shunt around the damaged area but they will have to shut is down again after the repair is made to remove the bypass.

    *1 here. Unfortunately, that only gives me 3/4 of a tank on my truck.

    Gas is $1.09 in Toronto.

    But that is per liter of course.
