The gas prices makes me sick though...highway robbery at its finest... 
Gas is too damn expensive. I'm in serious need of an economic daily driver 
Something to make everyone sick..

It's not just the oil companies that cause the price of gas to go up. Over 40% of the price goes to taxes alone. Over here on the left coast that is more like 50%. Therefore the price differences. Take off the taxes that this state has added over the last 8 years alone and you would be below $2/gal too. Go Olympia!! Screw us some more.

Man I can not believe some of you put that crap gas in your cars!
When ever jim used to fill on post with that crap we had to run it out and fill with good stuff before we could tune! Knock retard from hell! And Costco/Safeway?am=pm stuff is just as bad. you guy must LOVE running around in Low octain mode!
Then again it is your dime
Here is a little food for thought. We tried a test. Am/Pm gas against Shell in our Toyota Celica. On average I got 28 MPG with the Am/Pm gas. Switched and waitied a week. then started keeping track. Same drive the whole nine yards(60 miles a day average traffic.) we started getting 30.5MPG with the shell gas. not much but a 2.5 MPG gain AND the car just runs better. Now sure it is only a extra 25 miles a tank but it is worth the dollar differance(MAX .10cent diff a gallon x 10 gal) in a tank of gas
Still back when we paid almost $30 to fill the tank with 10.5 gallons it still hurt...
...I remeber the first time I filled my Z28 back in 97. had 1/3 tank still showing and only cost $14!!
