      Listen guys, fill up early and often when prices are rising, fill up late and rarely when they fall. I bet you buy high and sell low too. :roll:
      Acutally, I have so much money to burn that I deliberately drive around and fill up at the highest priced station in my area. Then I drive home and flush large wads of $100 bills down my toilet, but not before wiping my ass with them.

        Well as long as you wipe your ass with them then that's ok. :shock:

          Premium is just over $2 per gallon!? It's $2.36 here (that was yesterday... probably higher today). I actually ran a full tank of regular last week (for $2.15 per gallon) and it pinged like a bastard. The $3 extra per tank is worth it to me.

              If it didn't run like shit on 87, I'd be more than happy to put it in.

                Of course, you could always run... ::dramatic scary music:: OCTANE BOOSTER!!!

                On a more shitty note, I just filled up the 318 at 1.97/9... this shit is getting ridiculous.

                  If you have a JC Chip - that must have been premium?

                  If so - that's a damn good price...wish it were still that low here... :x :(

                    Guess what Fuel just jumped up to a new Higer record price today. Get ready for another $0.05 increase most every where.

                      Yep, it's 93 octane. I wish we had an option of 91 here, I'd run it in a heartbeat... unfortunately, all we have is 87, 89, and 93, so I don't have much of an option if I want the chip to agree with me. Maybe someone will trade me their stock chip for a fifth of SC or something.

                            I'm starting to get dead serious...... my father wants to get rid of one of the e30s to lease a new car..... and the Ford Escape hybrid is seriously interesting....

                            ....... now it's more tempting than ever.... and maybe my car can go to someone who can afford tuning/maintaining without using all of your savings money.....

                            we'll see how gas costs go and come down...... but to tell you the truth, I'm giving in to the idea to having a nice daily driver with warranty and then when I can afford it, get an e30 as a track car and a hobby.
