Mazda Protege ES2.0
I just filled yesterday and it cost me a nice 78$... And I only use 91 octane.
Seriously, I mean it is a damn protege! not a 5.0 pickup...
Gas prices are really getting too high. Hell I mean it's not like I'm gonna sell it and buy a bike but it's getting sick.
Btw, how many miles can you do in average with a full tank?

That question's answer will vary by type of driver style, type of tires & pressure, mods etc. I keep my tires @2 PSI above the norm; average 33+ mpg on the highway running 80-90mph with the A/C no higher than '2' and moderate boosting to get clear of the rest of the cattle. City mpg is around 24-27 mpg average..
 
I get anywhere from 19 to 23 mostly city, but that's with an exhaust leak right above the turbo. I'm running 93 and it's never cost me over $50 to fill up (running 93) but I always fill up at about a quarter of a tank.

Yep I know I was just asking what is the average because I'm getting 24 mpg 70% highway / 30% city and thought it was alot more than the 30mpg from MSP spec, although I have a boosted ES2.0, maybe I'm just tuned even more rich than the msp is already tuned. Btw I'm almost never boosting and running as much economical as I can
Is it really better for my car to run 93 instead of 91? I know running 87-89 is really stupid but here the most the companies can offer is 91, and rarely I see 93 at some places.
 
Here for work. Flying out Monday. I came to bakersfield yesterday for in n out haha. Sitting in the hotel all alone bored if u wanna have beers lol
 
**** oil companies. I love when people defend them and say "their markup is only like 2 cents a gallon", but think about how many gallons America alone uses per day. Oil companies only make like, billions of dollars profit per year anyway... no big deal. Not to mention their profits have significantly increased as gas prices skyrocket. Coincidence?
