We pay $4.30 for premium in the Bay Area

I believe where I live it's around $3.74 per gallon of premium. I guess I have it the best lol. Plus I use Bi-lo fuel perks which bring that cost down to around 3.54 per gallon!

My pathfinder gets 14-15 mpg, so I'm definitely not complaining. Just saying getting good gas mileage nowadays is important especially in a car that is not truly intended for sports only, like the G. 22 mpg combined is what I get with the G and that's plenty good for me.

I use the G primarily for commute to college and work, mostly back roads. If i wanted good gas mileage, i can either take the Turdcel or parents second car the camry.

totally agree

It is definitely not an economical car as far as gas. If you are worried about gas being too expensive, I agree with the few others that this is NOT the car for you.

Gas is under $4 a gallon for premium here.

I know it's not as economical as what I was driving before. It doesn't cost me too much really as I get paid for most of my driving anyways. if I get 60cents a mile and it cost me 35 cents a mile I'm still doing really well in total.

Eeek, there is no way I would use the G for driving for work. That's what the hoopty is for. In my case, 1995 G20.

About 12 mpg average, 95% city and not aggressive driving. Gas here is right about $4.00/gallon for 91+ octane. Just bought new plugs yesterday, hope they help a bit.

I don't like driving a boring car for work. all I'm doing at work is driving to client's places. Golf courses, country clubs, and other small buisinesses, but my main places I go to are a golf course and a country club.

12 and you aren't driving aggressively? Either something is wrong or you are in heavy foot denial.

Chill....
