IT'S FRIDAY and my gas mileage SUCKS!!

[jefferson-mo]

Boy the prices of gas around here:rolleyes:

$2.33 for 91 octane(that's the most we get):eek:


Now correct me if I'm wrong here..............


WOT=more air

more air=more efficient use of gasoline

but man I'm goin' thru this tankfull like I have a leak:burnout:

[jefferson-mo]

:lol:

Super Unleaded is about $2.15 here in vegas. (thats 91 octaine) This sucks!

[Fourth Horseman]

We haven't exceeded $2.00 a gallon for 91 octane here in SLC yet, but we will soon I'm sure. But you know what? Screw it. I knew when I bought this car that it'd cost me more to run it. I didn't care then and I don't care now. I have so much fun with it that I'd pay $5 / gal if I had to. :cool4: :burnout:

Think of WOT like a jet with full afterburner on. Yes your prossesing a lot more air but the fuel is being used at almost double the rate,for about a 25per. increase in power. In a v 8 its not as pronounced but your fuel air mix remains almost constant. I did say almost. Anyhow a v 8 works best at about 2000 rpm as far as fuel and mechanical economy go. You can go past that but you pay a big penalty. ; )

Everything considered (purchase price, insurance, mods, tires) gas is only a small part of the over-all price of a car. Of course I drive by a station that currently charges over $3 for a gallon of premium.

Yeah...That would be Jefferson's "M.O." alright, got to watch his slight of hand, from time to time...

[Menace]

[jefferson-mo]

[CRUZTAKER]

I recant my remarks to the attendant.
93 at Citgo was $1.86. I guess it was just the shock of $29.50 fill up.

Honestly, I don't think I have EVER paid that much to fill a vehicle smaller than a truck?

[merc]

Manassas, VA 93=1.7199 Costco
Harrisonburg, VA 93=1.53.99 Sheetz

Gas Mileage sucks in this car:mad:
:flamer:

[screamdennis]

$1.77 for premium in juneau alaska , as for the gas mileage (oh well )

[B-26]

I thought we would see some oill wells burning before the gas shot up?? As you know with your foot on the floor gas mileage isn't something you should worry about. Don't worry. Be happy. Floor it !!
