    Premium is usually .10 - .15 more then crap gas. Your tank is only 14 gallons. Are you really gonna drive all over town to save $2 ? I have never understood why people whine so much about gas prices. If it costs me $30 or $50 to drive 300 miles what's the big deal?

    I agree whole-heartedly with the rest of your sentiments...but there is usually a $0.30 - $0.50 per gallon difference between 87 regular and 91 premium. Unless by crap gas you meant 89 mid-grade.

    Oh, and on that $40-$50 fill-up, I get 600 miles, instead of 300.

    identical to the phaeton, except the phaeton is a bigger pile of ****.

    i did get to play with a w12, you dont feel like your going anywhere but it will move. go from 0-140 in no time, just smooth

    On a semi-related note I am finally seeing diesel fuel cheaper than premium. Suck it Trebeck!

    I'd love me an A8...I'd hate that fill-up, but the A8 is straight luxury.

    The gas station down the street has regular at $3.93 and diesel at $3.99. Mid grade and premium are in the 4s. Woo hoo!

    I used to work next to a Valero and would use them but it has been awhile. If I recall, their advertized price is cash or Valero card only (perhaps debit too). They charge .10 or .20 per gallon for credit cards, which is probably where much of the business comes from. Probably most people don't even notice. The AM/PM by my house does that too.

    the new QT off of Broadway and McClintock or somewhere around there has diesel for 3 cents more than regular. I do enjoy only having to fill the truck every 600 miles...Evo on the other hand needs fuel every 225.

    Past fuel suckers. Signature would violate forum rules
