Getting an MS6 N E thing I should no?

[snooky]

Quick Canadian Gas Pricing system:

87 Octane - Regular - Baseline Approx. $0.90/liter now.
89 Octane - Plus - +3 cents more per liter
91 Octane - Super - + 6 cents more per liter
94 Octane - Available at some Petro Canada Location and not in all major CDN cities - +9 (or more) cents more per liter

SH!T i thought was the monthly car payments that was gonna dry me out, but add the extra gas price, im gonna be BROKE! lol

don't forget the cost of tires, brakes (assuming they used an aggressive pad, not sure though), synthetic fluids (oil, diffs, tranny), all that fun stuff

if there are any canadian drivers here with the MS6, how much do u usually pay to fill the tank up?

now im my P5 im paying a lil over $40 less than every 2 weeks or so.

I fill up when the light comes on, get about 430k out of a tank all in town, lots of hills. At about $1.20+/L, $55-60

Gas just dropped here so I'll find out again thursday at $1.03/l

Since you live in Montreal, I'd be looking for winter tires right about now...

i know im looking everywhere to find sum cheap.

16" are good no? or do i have to go with 17" due to the fact that the MS6 has stock 18"?

17's only. 16" steelies will not fit. Find someone selling Mazda 6 rims. Check www.mazda6club.com or get 17" steelies...they do make them.

Cheapest Winter Tires I have found were Dunlop Graspic's. 109 US from tirerack.com. I ordered mine the weekend. They have a rebate of a whopping $25 US until october 1st. Michellin X Ice are good tires too.

get 215-50-17 tires

Again, search around. Most of these questions are all ready here.

Enjoy the car.

Thanx Newf, i figured since the regular Mazda6 has stock 17" my buddies use 16" winter steelies, so i thought since its roughly the same body i could do the same. thanks again man
