Its a bmw 328i...it used to run really nice on 92 octane but the air pollution nazis got rid of it in CA. On 91 octane it knocks once in a while when its really hot out.
It'll still run on 87 because it has knock sensor and fuel/mixture and ignition time is controlled by the CPU so it'll retard the timing but then it feels like a gutless honda

paid $2.62 on my lunch hour in my local town. Went to Kansas City this afternoon for a dr appt, on while leaving the city, Saw some at $2.97. Glad I got it when I did.

$3.09 last night in southern illinois. This is a place where the normal average wage is 6.50 an hour. I think that if it does not get better you will see people having to quit work. They are talking about it reaching $4 per gallon before it starts to drop. I sincerely hope not.

I was scrolling through some of the old threads on this site and found this one, from June 2004, when we were commenting on gas in the $2.01-$2.09 range...The good old days!
I filled up my tank yesterday $36 $2.01 a gallon for full service at a local no name place. I saw up to $2.09 for a regular. I don't have to fill up that often since I only have to drive a few minutes several times a week.
Have your driving habits changed since gas has gone up so much?
Re: how much did you pay for gas on your last fill up?
we actually have a place that is $3.59 today. everyone else around here is $3.09. wonder if they are price gouging, well if they are then the ones that investigate will find out.

Just got home and on the way I noticed that diesel was now over $3 here now and the premium gas was $2.99. The regular gas 2.55 yesterday and $2.63 today. It sure going up fast!
Re: how much did you pay for gas on your last fill up?
You Americans have it good. Sure the prices have gone up but it is much less than what we pay in New Zealand. We pay $154.90/Litre (NZD) Convert that to US gallons and you have $5.86/gallon (NZD). If we now convert this to the US dollar, it is <big><b>$4.10/gallon (USD). </big></b>
I can't believe how much the price has gone up in the past few months. Thank goodness, I able to ride a bicycle to work, my wife is able to walk to work and the kids walk to school.
