Too :q:q:q:qing much.
If I had to fill up on a weekly basis i'd be pretty pissed. Luckily a tank will last me a little over 2 week's, just in time for payday
Wow!... and to think I got ticked off yesterday when I had to pay $3.99 for 93.
One thing I don't understand is: When I first got my Mark (March last year) 93 was .20 more than 87 most everywhere, now it's .30 higher.

Converted to the imperial system premium costs 5.07 a gallon here in western Canada. 40 gallon tank on truck = 200 to fill. Cry me a river people!
Good god that's absurd!
I don't know about premium now, since I don't drive the Jaguar much at all lately, but for regular 87 gas I put in the F-150, it was $3.75/gal tonight. The last time I stopped for Shell gas, I noticed their premium V-Power was $4.50/gal (about $0.75 more than their regular, but then again V-Power is about the only gas around town that's supposed to be ethanol-free).
i only run the non ethanol stuff in my ATV. starts so much better after sitting extended periods. which it does often. never noticed any difference with ethanol vs non ethanol premium in my car.
2 weeks a tank, what do you live a block from work?i dont even drive much i get 17-18mpg according to sensor and 19.5 on hwy and itsall i can do to stretch a week!
i'll never use ethenol in anything as long as i can help it. it may not seem like it in some cars but in as little as a year dad's sl 500 was having issues when he brought it in they asked him what gas its also a "premium recommended" car actually it says "use premium only" had to have the whole fuel system flushed and some other stuff. he saidb he didnt really notice any performance problems until it started sputtering and acting sluggish, but then he probably never goes above 80 or the pedal has NEVER seen the floor maybe half the way he drives! he was actually gonna put hand controls in it and give me the car while i was in the hospital last year, but he wanted me to stop putting money in the lsc or get rid of it entirely, i didnt now im on my 3rd motor it does run great now and the "how much have you spent on your mark thread" has been done already and im over 10g now not counting the 3g i spent on it. hes gonna get a new one this year and ill get it probably this summer anyways
gotta have the top down in fla!
Prices of goods will keep going up and up, ever notice how much less your dollar buys?

gas with ethanol in it has a higher octane than comparable gas without...
fewer BTUs, so you make less power, (unless you run richer, which is why your gas mileage will decrease,) but has a higher octane rating.
Maverick.
jaguars had the nikasil lined cylinders so low quality gas has high sulfur content and will eat the nikasil over time.
When I got my license it was .93 a gallon for regular. $10 bucks filled the tank in my dodge omni and lasted 2 weeks driving back and fourth to high school
