Snow??!!! You could always go to the slopes with the manmade stuff and then come home and enjoy the warm weather to mod/fix/wash the car!!!

another 3 miles on the car today!!

it'll be high mileage by the time you buy it! (rofl2)

I hit 77k miles on my way back to Rochester yesterday. I got gas and here's the results:

93 Octane (from Citgo in Victor, NY) Driving from Rochester to Lee, MA - 35.5mpg (a 100% highway trip, I got gas right before getting on the New York State Thruway and got it at the rest stop 1 mile before my exit.

87 Octane - filled up at Shell in Torrington, CT, then drove back roads to Lee, MA. From Lee to Victor, NY 100% highway, and from Victor to downtown Rochester it was highway but stop and go traffic the whole way (lucky me.. I timed it just right and was nearing Rochester at 5pm...

34.5mpg. If anything that number was brought down by the stop and go traffic as well as the (quite) spirited backroads driving on Route 8 between Winsted, CT and Lee, MA.

Chalk one up for 87 octane.. cheaper, and roughly the same gas mileage.

Now I just wish Rochester had a gas station I could trust.. in CT I stick to Shell or BP, but neither have locations here :'(

Thanks for the data. I’ve been curious about this since I’ve been driving more highway miles recently. I think I’ll simply run the 87 and use a bottle of Techron every 3rd tank or so.

i wrecked my p5 today....(notcool)
Sorry to hear about it. Glad you are alright.
 
Ok so not today, but yesterday and not to but for... I got two rather large packages in the mail from a certain member on these boards (ahem snowblazin ahem). Needless to say my P5 has all sorts of goodies just waiting to be installed, it's going to be a busy winter. My roommates said I looked like a kid on Christmas Day as I went through the boxes, haha...

You're not digging the Delta Sonic? I have noticed that about Rochester, they have all these bizzaro gas stations, but there are Mobil stations around and they are fine.
 
The subtle painted front emblem mod (used leftover paint from the 'paint your headlights' meet). Damn my pics always come out shaky when I don't use my flash.

**edit**Flash pic added
