    I have almost achieved 400 miles on one tank

    I feel this is pretty good for driving an e30, which doesn't necessarily encourage hypermiling

        Jeremy, thanks for the offer but AAA saved the day again. Also, thanks for calling kingston.
        No problem.

              when i was driving down to Dahlonega, GA i wanted to wait until SC to fill up for chap gas so when I was about 150mi into NC on 1/4 tank i just filled it to half way. I didnt realize that my GPS was going to send me west through NC and make me skip SC. At 1am in the mountains NOTHING is open, not even a hotel to ask where i could get gas. 30 miles into my dummy light and a lot of freaking out later i found an Ingles that would take a card and i filled up on that stuff.

              pretty scary to be in the mountians that late in the rain driving a leaky vert with no fuel and no AAA.

                Funny how you American's bitch about $4.00 a gallon.
                I just calculated how many dollar/gallon it cost around here and that's around $9,30 a gallon :(

                We do get 95 octane as the lowest octane fuel though, and 98 doesn't cost that much extra :mrgreen:

                      our octane numbers are AKI: AKI= (RON+MON)/2, not just those silly RON numbers.

                      MON matters, especially under leaner load conditons.
