Gas prices

I was wondering how was everyone making out with the cost of Fuel going up?! I'd rather drive my FC instead of my Ram 1500. I drive my FC more often now since i put it away in the winter and even though gas prices are high, I still put 93 octane on my 7 and occasionally i add 2 stroke oil. How is everyone else making out?

Over $8 per US Gallon here in the UK for regular. You guys have it cheap in the states. if I wanted 98 octane (premium) it would be around $10 per US gallon!!!

£1.13 per Litre

I've been to around 60 different countries and the cheapest for gas was Trinidad! they have lots of oil offshore and the fuel is almost given away, Kinda like saying the fuel is ours not just the oil company's.

Most expensive is UK and Ireland.

> You got a point there man. America has enjoyed "cheap" gas for the past few decades. This rise in gas prices is just our cost of gas catching up to the world standard. Unless you lived in Abu Dhabi or one of the oil rich areas in the middle east, then you may even get it for free.

3.83 for regular here in Philadelphia, in the southwest area anyway. 2 miles away its 3.95+ for regular....WTF.

I usually fill up 25-30 dollars.
A full tank will last me between 210-240 miles....

1. Gasoline is NOT expensive in the US. I feel sorry for the overly-taxed socialist European countries, and I hope like heck that the US voters never let left-wing politicians emulate this suppression of freedom.

2. The 2Gen RX-7 is designed to run on Regular unleaded gasoline unless the owner (YOU) fiddled with the engine.

That poll needs a 91 octane option, cause that's the best we have here in SoMan (yes that's right, sourthern Manitoba), and that's what I use for my 6-port turbo.
