^^Seafoam goes in the brake booster line and oil as well and I noticed slightly better gas mileage after using it.

91 octane $3.23 per Gal. in Los Angles. It's a little pricey over here.

idk what it does in the brake booster. but if your g has been using dealer oil+ you will get no benifit in the oil.

seafoam also thins out the oil out of spec. so there is your slight mpg boost if any.

My low gas light came on for the first time since I bought my coupe this past weekend. The Chevron 91 was $3.33 per gallon and she took 18.5 gallons=$61.60. I wasn't shocked, my wife never fills up her Vette unless it's on fumes....results are the same.

Be glad gas isn't almost $5 like a few years ago. Then it would b close to $100 to fill from empty. I remember burning thru $80 per week for awhile....

i fill about 65 bucks every week and a half right now, its KILLING me. but i'm seeing this girl that lives far away and i always do the driving, that and school is like a 40 minute drive away.

65 bucks gets me about 300 miles on the tank (500 KM)

I pay just over $4 a gallon for 91 octane (premium), even regular fuel is about 3.70, and my city is cheap, the country average is about 3-5% higher

/thread, no one but canadians can complain.

Sounds normal to me. Shell/Chevron/Mobil are all $3.3x over here.

You should have that girl drive to your house every other date then you can drive from there..help save you gas...It usually takes me 58 bucks to fill my tank up when the E light is on.

I get about full with $55-60 depending how fast I fill up after the light goes on.

I never said it was 100-120 for a fill. To me, a little over a quarter of a tank is a third. 3 x 30 = 90. The last complete fill I had (light on) was $88.XX (Chevron 94). I could have stretched it out to $90, but I stopped at the first click . Also, if I'm not mistaking, Vancouver has some of the highest gas prices in the country.
