in 2 days the gas around my house at all the stations jumped 13 cents to 3.25 and the last tank cost me $48. sucks but what can you do besides just drive less...I went from filling up twice a week to filling up once a week, thanks to me still having my jetta 1.8t, lol. Still cant resist driving the 8 every where though.

 

3.59 per gallon in LA, full tank is 48 dollars, OUCH!!!

 

Union 76 91 octane= $3.79! Central coast of CA. $53.00 to fill last time. Oh well...

 

Chevron $3.75 91 octane, Hollister, CA...had to fill up before work today. Usually fill up 2-3 times a week 12-13 gallons $140/wk!!!! I need a commuter car or a local job and break out the beach cruiser!

 

$3.89 in Seattle today for 92 octane. Cost me abt 50 bucks to fill the sucker up.

 

God bless Texas, $2.86 a gallon today for 93. Still over a dollar a gallon higher then when he was first elected.

 

$3.559 for 91. Arco was 3.539 but I wanted to use my CC.

 

I'd rather pay a dollar more in gas than live in Texas

 

Haha, I second that!

Filled up 2 hrs. ago, 3.049/gallon for 93, 14.3 gal = total $43.60

20 mpg. avg. btw...not too shabby I don't think...not the 25 mpg. avg. my Boxster got, but not making a few hundred dollar a month payment more than makes up for 5 mpg. ay?

 

Well it's $2.339 here at my local Shell for 91 Premium.
Right down the street at the Chevrion its $3.399 for 91 premium.

 

I assume $3.339 and not $2.339.

 

I just filled up tonight with Shell 91 octane. 3.539 a gallon, 13.56 gallons = $47.99

I'm glad that I get 20 mpg and my commute is 16 miles round trip. 3 weeks between fillups if I don't go out and have fun.

 

$3.20 for regular. 240 miles from last tank of Shell regular.

 

2.869 for 89 octane...something like 260 miles in 13.1 gallons

 

how in the world are you all getting 20 MPG ? what rpm's are you changing gears at ? I only get 20 on the hwy. thanks!

 

2004 gt m.t -change gears at 3500 rpm no change in mpg.rump the hell out it no change in mpg.clean maf and filter -no change in mpg.change plugs ,change type of fuel,no change in mpg.leave at home and don't drive it no change in mpg.MY CAR LOVES GAS!no change in mpg.she's like the woman you fell in love with.it don't matter what she says or do you love her no matter what.DAMM i did not think i married a car but what the hell....no change in m.p.g.!gotta love it she has the best curves a man could want and you got that right NO CHANGE IN M.P.G.~!

 

BTW-10-14 city/17-21hwy-still lovin it!!whoop!whoop!

 

I get 20 mpg avg. by shifting between 3000 and 3500, and cruising at 70 mph when on the highway. My miles are probably 60% hwy and 40% city.

Of course every now and then I'll drive it hard, shifting at or near redline a few times, so I'm not totally avoiding doing what this car was made to do, but I try to drive economically when I can.

 

any where from 3.50 to 3.60 a gallon... $40 to $50... i commute 40 miles one way... fill up at least 4 times a week...

 

This is one of the cheapest places near me in Los Angeles to fill up. 14.13 gallons @ $3.539 per gallon for a total of $50.00. : (

 

Gambit & funspork,

You guys run on regular gas? Have you run on regular gas all along or just recently? I assume that your cars are still running properly?

If the RX-8 can take regular gas without detrimental effects, then I may as well go with regular gas...

Sorry if I sound like a newbie, because I am. I just got my RX-8 last week.

 

$3.15 in south florida only a couple a bucks more per tank for premium 93 octane
dont see reason to go with 89 or less for small savings
also i drive over 750 miles a week and average 18 to 20 on highway

 

only use 93 in my 8 (as recommended). Around here, it's $3.40 / gal. That equals $45 per fill up.

$45 for 210 miles? Absolutely rediculous. Still, wouldn't trade my 8 in for anything (except, maybe, an M3).

 

Seemed to have had a problem typing that night. And you are correct C&D

 

Just went up again. $4 coming around the corner.
