[97vdub2slow]

i just put 93 in took me 48 bucks to fill from a little less then quarter tank, gotta pay to drive it. just gotta stay outof higer boost but it gets hard sometimes.

[biggus127]

I just paid $4.40 for premium in the 253, I'll keep putting it in no matter how high it gets, Love whats under the right foot no matter the cost.

[auslo]

$4.49 up here in Anchorage, Alaska. And our premium fuel is only 90 octane Nothing higher is available

[MK4GLIBMP]

$1.52/liter here in South Western Ontario... For you Americans, that's $5.88 for a U.S. gallon of 91 octane at 3.87 liters/US gal. Damned expensive... But I love my car, so I keep doing it.

[Jazzydub]

Washington has one of the higher gas prices in the US. It won't keep me from putting supreme in my 20th. That's why I have a POS 94 Jetta with a fart can that I can put cheap gas in for commuting.

[blackgti3510]

you all are complaining about gas between $3-$4?? I wish I had gas that cheap here in socal!! My assho1e gets raped everytime I fill up....$4.49 over here for 89!

Yeah everyone here in utah complains about gas when it's at $3.60 a gallon. I paid that back in high school 5 years ago in SoCal.

Some parts of the country are better than others, Whether or not one can handle buying gas, it does not negate the fact that gasoline prices are ridiculous and if we still want to drive our cars, we are slaves to the pump. And sometimes the pump does not use lube...if ya know what I mean.

[t-cel2GLI]

I know what you mean. im trying to plan a cross country move, but idk how much to plan just for gas. and with summer prices going up even more,

[Rockerchick]

Just filled up for $4.11 here in the Raleigh area. Noticed gas prices went down a few cents the last few days here

[MechEngg]

You american's are super lucky compared to us up in Canada.....1.39 per liter, AKA $5.25 per gallon down there

[fancyTHIS]

Pretty much. Usually about $70 to fill up, and thats almost weekly.

[MACdubb]

Im proud to fill up with premium each and every time
makes me happy yo feed my 20th what it needs

Where at? I just filled up on Sat off Cary Prk way and it cost me $50
My truck would be well over $100 if I drove it

[Rockerchick]

At the BJ's in Crossroads Gasbuddy is showing it as $4.12 there still.


Also, everyone don't forget to keep up with maintenance. I got my car with 112k on it in Sept. Its now coming up on 119k. Decided to do the fuel filter since I had no records...it was original Lots of nasty stuff came out of it. Hoping it helps get me another mpg or two!

[-EuroDub-]

93oct @ 3.54 x 10gallons = $35.40
87 oct @ 3.34 x 10 gallons = $33.40

if you can't afford $2 difference, sell the car and buy a tricycle

There we go. Smart man 93 is at $4.20 here in FL

[fancyTHIS]

Just filled up for $65 today.

[autoelite]

If you don't punch it every time this certainly makes a difference, keep the tach between 2-3k and this should give piece of mind when you find yourself in a period where a calm drive may suit you.

In ATL I fill up my GLI for about $50.00. I do use premium because I want my engine to last, my goal is to hit 200k with this engine. I hit 225k before my b5 A4 1.8t got totaled.

I'm at about 112k miles. Still running strong. What are you at?

78 k, I've only had her for two years now.

[Rockerchick]

Prices continue to drop...brand new Sheetz opened up 2 miles from the house and got 93 for $3.87. Cheapest around.

[Kerryy]

Prices are definitely going down here. Between fillups it dropped from 4.22$ to 4.04$. Except at Sunoco who missed the memo and dropped the price of regular gas and raised everything else. They had premium at 4.37$ the other day when I pulled in to get gas, they're usually the cheapest near me.

[boostbro24]

I won't sacrifice a lower octane for the gas prices...i'll just start riding my bike ......seriously.

...and if you think we've got it bad here in the U.S. ....try filling up in Duestchland paying per liter

you gotta hit up the esso station. I think we have 98-112 octane here although the higher one is harder to come by

[20thgti187]

I pay less a gallon for methanol then I do 92oct and I have a giant pipeline running through my city and 5 refineries within 40 miles

shut up , just shut up

will always get supreme lol

[Keybordem]

I am not chipped, but I've run 87-91 interchangibly for 8 years/59000 miles now with no engine or mechanical problems except for an engine temp sensor that went bad at 50k. Basically if you have to run on a lower quality gas it's not going to be the end of the world on factory software. You chipped guys though I've heard can go into limp mode with the wrong octane.
