How much on a full tank?

What really helped mine was the improved handling and grip after getting rid of the stock all seasons and installing the bigger wheels and Michelin PSs.

Our regular is $.10 a L cheaper than yours.

I've never been one to check mileage... but I know it hurts to be filling up the F-150 as a DD these days.

No doubt your changes make a nice difference on the handling.

You can actually get some decent mileage on the G on the highway. City driving really sucks it back in a big way though.
Our premium is 145.7 now and reg is 138.7

Having had my rant, I believe in the law of supply and demand. But, wtf. record profits, charging for the future replacement cost based on industry slanted assumptions. Last in first out costing .... BS. Let em make the money and then tax it back ...... to pay for ..... better stop now. Gotta fill up the lawn mower. Good thing it takes reg.
I'm a free enterpriser at heart. Yeah, the industry is making a lot of dough. People need to own those companies doing well. Right now I've got a little over 10% of my total portfolio invested in the energy sector. If you can't beat 'em ...join 'em.
