The Price O' Gas Thread

[HondaBoy]

well with the price of fuel in the US higher than we are used to paying for, i've been looking for ways to get better fuel mileage.

in my '05 subaru legacy gt i changed out the oil with Royal Purple. i gained on average 3-4 mpg more. in the '02 accord i did the same oil change. not real sure what the fuel mileage increase has been, but its quite noticeable. also with this oil, much smoother running conditions and in the accord very noticeable passing power increase.

not sure if its such a good idea to put synthetic into my '87 accord's engine. its getting close to having 150000 miles on the clock. but i have had the head rebuilt and the rings seem to be in nice condition. what i'm worried about with this older engine is that the synthetic's cleaning abilities compared to conventional oil may loosen up deposits and it will start smoking oil from the exhaust. any suggestions for my 3gee? or should i stick with conventional? dunno if it could also free up things that would create problems in the other parts of the oiling system.

ive always run semi synthetic or full synthetic in my civic since 130k (it now has roughly 185k)...it doesnt burn a drop of oil

dont know what the US is worried bout
we payin equivilent of 6.25 per gallon now

[ZackieDarko]

Germany pays about $10 USD for a gallon

[russiankid]

Just filled up at $4.03. Got 34mpg out of this tank.

[lostforawhile]

Germany pays about $10 USD for a gallon

thats because germany taxes the shit out of it to pay for things like their personal anybody can drive it interstate racetrack. they have some of the best roads in the world someone has to pay for them.

[Civic Accord Honda]

paid $52 for 11 gals

[ZackieDarko]

i paid 46 bucks to fill my gf's 94 civic dx sedan 5spd


most EVAR for that car


BUT i did get 356 miles off about 10 gallons on the last tank

[Hauntd ca3]

Germany pays about $10 USD for a gallon

thats the prob with roading systems like that
they cost a heap to run
recently watched a doco on the autobahn
and with the constant maintainence required,the higher cost of building the autobahn and all the medical teams and roadside assistance that it takes to run it all its not surprising the cost of fuel is higher
but you'd think that the wages would be comparitively higher as well.
and i stuffed up my math
its closer to USD$7 per gallon for 95 octane here

[snoopyloopy]

paid $4.67 on sunday when i filled up. my station has had that price for about a month now (save for last monday when it went down four cents for a couple hours), so i'm not complaining. at least it's not going up still...

[cubert]

3.99 for 87 octane




7.75 for CAM2

[Nafs Asdf]

Converted to USD/Gallon prices here are around $9 for 95 octane.

[AccordB20A]

$2.02 (New Zealand dollars / liter)
$5.46 (U.S. dollars / gal)

[Deadhead]

damn, got it good over here in colorado lol

3.77/ gallon for 85

3.99/ gallon for 91

[Civic Accord Honda]

i think it was 4.45 a gallon for 91 Vpower from shell just got mah legend a full a tank

[Nafs Asdf]

I don't think I've ever had a full tank of gas in any car I've ever owned. Feels like way too much money to spend at once. Something like 90 € (140ish USD) is probably what I'd have to pay for filling it all up.

[A18A]

not to mention all the weight (if you weight reducted your vehicle like i did) petrols going down in price here, tis like $2.01 a litre

[russiankid]

TX is finally catching on lol

[Cheeseburger]

Gas has been going down in these few weeks that have past by, I put 87 at $4.05

[2ndGenGuy]

Jesus, I just filled up for $4.19 for regular. Not that $3.79 is cheap, but it's far cheaper than what we pay here still. It's worse than California! WTF!

[SZfiftyfour]

Its around $3.67 for 87 here.
