whats everyones gas prices around theyre area. im paying 2.35 now after yesterday paying 2.11. gas i rediculous now it may come down to carpooling. anyone want to give me rides all over st. louis for the summer :).

also can someone tell me what difference it makes using the diff. grades of gas. my girlfriend keeps bitching that im wasting my money on the good atuff, and i tell her im not gonna degrade my car :C with the cheap stuff she puts in her infinity i30. please tell me what diff. it makes so i can shut her up

tell her to just zip it. The last thing yo want to do is pump 89/87 octane in ths car. It will run like hell and could damage the car if run for extended periods. I am paying 2.30 in tampa and 2.35 in sarasota.

There are plenty of posts about the octane question enough to take your case to the supreme, gas, court.

Gas prices here are right around 2.00-2.05 a gallon.

Don't use anything less than premium in the tank because it can screw up a lot and will cause detonation. I think it is worth the extra .2 a gallon for premium versus a new engine, or at least most of the internals, later down the road.

lol thanks

lol thanks
$2.49 for chevron premium :Bang

thats funny i met a few ls owners whos women own infiniti's. My wife uses that cheap stuff cant lie tho that g20 runs like a champ for a 160,000 miles. $2.35 is about average around my area.

yeah I have been thinking of cutting a hole in the floor so I can fred flintstone it for a while.

thanks a great idea, ill do that too.
i know we can do a group buy for fred flinstones and all have themdue to the shietty economy

Well maybe it's just becuase I live in the black hole of the nation or "satan's :q " but our premium "went up" to $2.02 this week. Actually I think the Flinstone approach would be a massive improvement to some of the beaters down here.

...$2.14 for premium in Dallas.

I have an 04 V-6 with 4,000 miles on it and have never run anything but 89 octane in it with no problems. I don't think it will spark knock, the computer will detect it and retard the timming. I know I may not get the performance but I don't get on it often.

Id kill for 2.02. Try living in the San Fran Bay Area! Talk about gougers and we have major refineries out here. :Bang

i sold my liver on ebay to fill my tank.

I can top that...I told my wife I would consider a small Honda at this point! :eek2:

Still cheaper than what I pay up here in Montreal - 1.00 per LITRE.

tell me your not gonna trade the ls for a honda

tell me your not gonna trade the ls for a honda

hahahahhahahahahahahhaha....NO. I am not that pissed yet. I would consider getting a smaller daily driver right now though. I have my Mustang up for sale as we are getting ready (have been getting ready for months) to build a house and need to get rid of the toy. :( If I sell it, maybe I will get some little sh*t box to drive. Maybe a little turbo car of some sort.

4.99 :( 76 100 Octain evey 5 tanks.
2.44 :( 76 91 Octain all other times.

EL, Lumsden Rd. & Lakewood... Hess $2.16 for premium... It's getting sad. Gas prices are like a roller coaster. I heard there going to drop after the summer. Also look in Valrico near Wal-Mart, all those gas stations have a war. And the prices are cheaper there too.

OMG!! Im averaging over 20 mpg in my first almost 2 weeks of LS V8 ownership! Thats after getting 10 to 12 MPG in my Broncos! Ive never owned anything smaller than a V8 and doubt I ever will. Windstar doesnt count! Thats for the misses. Drive the car and dont compromise by getting something from overseas,,, even if it is built in the states!! :L

Wow! That is awesome. Thanks for the Tip. Idrive the same route so much I hardly see the surronding area. I leave my home hit Parson, MLK, I75 south and reverse the route on my way home. I will head over to the walmart around lunch today to scope the prices.

well 2.30 here in my neck of the woods.. really isn't a lot of trees here so i don't know why i say that.. lol.. Had to refinance the house cause i let the tank get below a quarter tank..lol which i usually never do.

you should say i your neck of the corn. ba.da.dum! You guys have ethanol in the gas out in your neck of the corn. Is that stuff safe?

definitely stay with premium after the guy accidentally put about 1/2 tank of regular, the car pinged when I accelerated hard. It was night and day the power and sound it gave off with that gas. I ran through that and am back to premium, and it never pings at all.

My car has never had anything less than Premium gas...
In fact, I add the Lucas Cleaner/Boost every 5 tanks. It's worth it!
Its a fact that the vehicle runs better... Just start telling your girl about
compression ratios and the quick burn effect of the lower octane gas.....
Trust me, She'll never say anything again!!

I like the approach... she will certainly tire of all teh technical details and make a rapid retreat. Hold on I am writting all of this down for furture reference. :Beer

You are right and I have stuck with American cars so far (if you include my SHO that had a Yamaha engine in it). :) The poor gas mileage is due to my crappy drive. I rarely get to 40 mph on the way home from work, and only get to 60 mph at the end of the trip to work. So...most of the trip is idling and stop and go. Oh...this is on a freeway. They may as well put up some stop lights, at least then people would have an excuse as to why they stop. Slow construction, many stupid drivers and over-crowded growing area in a smaller city are causing the problems. On the North side of town, traffic is great! I used to love that drive, although it was 3 times the mileage, I still used the same amount of gas.

Ya most gas stations have 89 with ethanol. Not sure if its safe to run or not
but i know that it burns a lot hotter than regular gas making most engines run a little warmer but that whats what a few people have told me with their cars

Hi All

I love reading all these posts whinging about the price of gas, you guys just don't know how well off you are.

95 Octane - $6.46
98 Octane - $7.20
Diesel - $6.69

We're $1.89 for 87 and $2.15 for 93 at my work.

hey i live in winter park fl near orlando we ae paying 2.25 or so for the good stuff my v6 ls is only gettting about 17 mpg or so with a/c off is that about right??

where do you all get your gas?
so high octane ratio.
here in WA, I cant find anything higher than 91.
it's $2.49 for 91.
of course, my Ls doesnt touch anything but 91.
it hurts to pay $40 for full tank when my GF's honda takes less than $20.
It's better than my brother's Jeep (5.9L V8)

Hey silverLS do you think you might be up to meeting a few other LvCers at the fantasy of flight on April 9th?

Check out this thread. I think if we we can get a group together to register at teh same time for teh 1 day registration that the reg fee gets dropped to 12 bux. That gets you and one guest in with your car and you geta photo of your car with the P51 mustangs.

The first car pays 25 and the additional cars pay 12. i will pay the 25 and the rest of you can get in for 12.

I will have some more details by this weekend posted in that link above.

I'm glad a place here has premium for the same price as plus on fridays, it saves $.1 a gallon, not bad.

i might get a SAM's card and start gassin up there. I have been told it is around 10 cent cheaper than other stations.

About $2.65 in San Diego.......

Hey DERECK... Yeah, I know the gas prices in UK are really high, but there is a significant amount more in tax you pay in that! You don't have hardly any TOLL ROADS... We pay tolls in NY/NJ for going 3 miles sometimes...
We pay $7.00 to cross some bridges... IMHO, I'd prefer to pay more at the tank and less on the road... Because I want to drive not pay tolls!!

A bit of a trade off here or there, anyway you look at it, they're gonna getcha!!!

JC

7.00 damn what the average atandard of living otu there, whats the minimum wage there. and i have a sames clubs card it saves on average 5-6 cents, but you spend the time driving around trying to find one here by the time you get there youve wasted the 5-6 cents. but if your around it delinitly worth it.

i usually let my gas light come on before filling up...about 275 miles before needing a fill..every monday, the mobil has premium for $0.05 a gal cheaper which ended up being $2.32 a gallon after the discount. :(
if i lived in chicago, i'd be paying $2.69 a gallon for 93!!!

wow someone said 100 octane... 98 octane?!! yikes! highest i've ever used was 93!
