What are current gas prices over there?

Between $3.30-$3.42 I see at most spots depending on the part of town.

3.18 reg 3.41 premium costco

Damn shit went down again haha

[AbeSonic]

3.18x14=44.52 for a full tank of regular.
3.41x14=47.74 for premium.
Equals out to a 3.22 difference.....

I was quite sure reading into the Bentley book it said tanks were 14.5 gal which is what my rough estimates were based off of :-D I also didn't quote you to correct you, I did it so that he could see that $2 & $5+ wasn't much difference

Edit:

I stand corrected, 84-87 was based on 14.5 gal. Later models 88-90 had 16.6 gal tanks.

Understood lol. This was intended to educate anyone who is still pumping regular because they think premium is too expensive.

On a side note this is probably the most relevant thing that has been posted and discussed about lolz

Well shit, I was curious myself, but now that I know the difference, I am chipping that bitch from the get go. Also on the new clutch, is there a break in time...because I couldn't find anything related to that in the book.

edit:

Baby the damn thing for 500 miles, than slowly move up the rpm's from there.

[Mullet Bullet]

shit i never baby mine, its like a brake job, do you take it easy on them for 500 miles?

take it out on the road and just push the clutch pedal until it slips a little then let go. do this a couple times over a few miles making sure you don't over heat it. then i slow to a couple mph and just pop the clutch at about 2K. never had a problem on the few hundred clutch's ive done.

Le old nasty valance...and now my new freshly painted one :)

[e30austin]

Nice paint on fan. That's worth at least 8hp.

[LuckyHenriksen]

Lol. That valence looks weird, I assume it is an early valence?

[DrJosh]

Wtf gas is around 3.70 reg and 4.00 for premium around here.

who actually runs their tanks that low? even when the light is on, i barely get 13 gallons in mine. BOOM another savings of $0.25 ;)

and for the record, i have an ETA and it was well worth the $40 chip to have to run premium. Brad could barely pull on me on the freeway last night :D

Washington has one of the highest average gas prices in the country, I think.

It's all that gas tax, mang.

Early cars have a 14-ish gallon fuel tank while facelift cars have a 16-ish gallon fuel tank. I've put 13 gallons in mine and my reserve light was still off.
