I put 22 gallons of gas in my truck last night....

[Beefcake]

....and it cost me 39 dollars. I could get used to gas being $1.84/gal, just as long as we don't lose sight of the overall energy problem. So how's your gas? Is it bad?

1.96$ here.  Was nice to fill the Scion for only 20.72$ a few days ago instead of 27$.

22 gallons would cost you $150 over here in Blighty.

Filled my Car up this morning before heading into work, Cost me $2.58 per Gallon for Premium (San Francisco area) For a while there it was setting me back about $4.86 a gallon for Premium

What do you drive? What is the compression ratio of your engine?

I'm asking simply because I find that most people who use high octane gas don't know that they are probably decreasing the engine performance.

Still $2.13 here in Tucson, sigh.

1.85 in front of my shop. 8 miles south it's 1.81.

and most cars these days(with a few exceptions) are designed to run on 87 octane.

Correct, that is because most engines have roughly an 8-1 compression ratio. The only reason to run higher octane gas is if you have a high compression engine. If you run high octane gas in a normal compression engine, not only are you wasting your money on more expensive gas, your actual gas mileage will probably suffer a bit too.

In western NY we generally have the highest gas prices in the continental USofA. Only places regularly higher are Alaska and Hawaii.
Needless to say I visit the reservation every other fill up, tax free.

I drive an 07 BMW 335i Coupe six speed,  inline 6 cylinder 300 or 350 BHP (can't remember which) with twin turbos, one Turbo does 3 cylinders, Don't know the compression ratio!

Since gas started going insane I limited myself to $50 a week unless I had some serious traveling to do for work.
Anything else, instead of hopping in my work to run to the store. or to pick my daughter up from someplace vehicle I used my wifes 4 cylinder.
I've seen it go as low as less them half a tank. Now I can almost fill it.

I've seen gas here as low as $1.90
Though its probably lower now. As I've been sick the last few days and havent driven much.

Falling gas prices are the only thing we have going for us now.
Can you imagine what it would be like in this economy if gas were still near $4.00?

I dont even wanna think about it.

I have a 4 dr 2005 2500HD Silverado, when gas was $4.25 a gallon the thing sat and i used my company car. Filling it was $100.00. I would only use it to run things to the back of my property, then park it. I called it my $33,000 wheelbarrow.
Gas prices are wonderful now. The thing actually sees the road now, and i park the company car.

$1.71 here in Northern Ohio.  In response to the premium thing, our Land Rover get a few miles per gallon better mileage on premium, enough to make it worthwhile.  Runs better too. Although it still only gets like 14 miles per gallon  

[nirvana]

$3.79 for regular unleaded here
