                I never really let it get under a 1/4 of a tank. But it was $30 to fill it up after work. $3.79 for 87oct.

                  Yah. Premium would be good there.

                  What is a stock M20b25? Like 9 to 1 correct?

                    That explains the premium... thanks nando.

                      My odometer doesnt work, if the gas guage died I would be screwed.

                          Ive never put more than 13 gallons in and this was after driving for around 20 miles with the light on. My last couple fill ups have been right around $48, this gets me 330~380 miles.

                          EDIT: and yes, my tank is slightly dented.

                              E34?

                              I figured since a 19 gallon tank filled with $4.00/gallon fuel would equal a rough $80.

                                Spent goose egg on the E30 over the past six months (been set aside waiting to become a better E30.....Eta-->i)

                                However, my daily tacoma pickup fills for about $40-44 on regular octane at the going rate of $3.83-$3.89 a gallon here in Los Angeles, of which lasts me on average a solid four days of 80-100 miles of commuting a day.
