I pay 14.95$ for unlimited fuel for all my planes in AH2...


(But in case you are talking about non-AH gas prices: Current price at my next gas station is 1.38€ /l -> app. 5.22€ per gal. At current exchange rates that translates into app. 7.65$ :D)

Well here in IL it's been around $3 a gallon for 87 octane, for some reason IL usually has the highest gas prices in the nation.  I've heard that in Saudi Arabia they pay around 20 cents U.S to completely fill there tanks.

87 Octane Gasoline here in St. Louis   $2.89/gallon

105 Octane E85 here in St. Louis (For my Flex-fuel ranger)  $2.59/gallon (but a 10-15% decrease in fuel economy)

Buying THIS:



And getting 30+MPG, and getting my Father-In-Law to shut up about how us buying an SUV is raising *HIS* gas prices... PRICELESS

Even better.. Buying THAT and getting it for $6000 below bluebook because the salesman didn't realize it was a Hybrid until after we decided on the price (Paperwork's all signed, picking it up in the morning after they Detail it, and throw on four brand new tires + alignment)... PRICELESS

Keep in mind, Octane is calculated differently in Europe than it is here in the US.

100 Octane there is about 90 Octane here.

i diagnose and repair cars for a living...and have been arguing about this for a looong time......everyone's convinced ethenol is the cure-all.....and it's not.....it costs more to produce, it produces less power, thus requiring more fuel into the engine to accomplish what 87 octane gas does....it's an all around really bad idea.......but then who am i to say, right?:D

Well the good thing about it is it's a renewable energy source, unlike fossil fuels.

Unfortunately for us in the PNW we are having it shoved down out throats. It is now the only thing you can buy except they made an exception for av gas.

Gas is free w/ one of these,
A drunk driver will run a stop sign. A stoned driver will stop until it turns green.
