When I bought my car it used to be such a gas efficient car. Now that gas prices are going up, car manufacturers are starting to use gas more efficiently. Now my Tiburon gets average gas milage. 02.gif

3.55 for regular in SC. it was the same price in MD too which is kinda weird. i think it is 3.65 in NC. i remember when gas was 1.12, and than 1 week it went up to 1.19 and every freaked out. he later put it back down to 1.12 lol. gosh i miss low gas prices

my friend knows someone who works in the gas business however that works and he said gas will go well over 4.00 around SC. someone needs to go on strike, i thought semi drivers would start sometime soon. i just want it to go down, or have the gov. and businesses pay us more money

Well it's around $7,6 per gallon overhere in Croatia. I would be happy if it was like yours 50% cheaper. Last time I remember paying around $3,5 per gallon was in the late nineties. And it does not feel easy when you have to pay around $110 for a full tank once a week

I'M MOVING TO VENEZUELA!

3. Saudi Arabia 45 cents
4. Libya 50 cents
5. Swaziland 54 cents
6. Qatar 73 cents
7. Bahrain 81 cents
8. Egypt 89 cents
9. Kuwait 90 cents
10. Seychelles 98 cents

2. Norway $8.73
3. United Kingdom $8.38
4. Netherlands $8.37
5. Monaco $8.31

i'd die for any octane over 91. it seems once you get past effingham Ill. there is some magic curtain that doesn't allow 93 octane west.

thank god for the scooter. been riding it since march (when i could) and it get 90/mpg on 91 oct.
