$3.29 for regular here in the south east of VA.  Kind of nuts considering there is a refinery just 30 miles north of here ...but who knows ...news was saying gas could hit as much as $5.00 a gallon before the middle of sept :(

Well, when I fill my GN, it costs about $7.00 a gallon.


But for the other cars--yeah, $3.11 for premium this morning.

I don't even pay attention to it. Not much one can do about it. I just fill up the car, don't look at the $$$ amount, get back in the car and leave.

Is it worth the savings to rick a blown headgasket? I tried 87.. ONCE on the way tp BG - figured ot was OK since I was just cruising on the interstate. Bad idea!

Pinged like a bitch even going up small grades - I will never do that again. MAYBE 89, but never 87.

I got no issues. Doesn't start to knock until about 10#'s of boost, and about 2 degrees if that. Neal pulled a lot of timing out so she's not to bad off. It keeps me from street racing too, I guess that's good. I just feather the throttle.

Got spare parts too!

I put in a whole tank of what i thought was mid grade (89) and been riding the last week, well i kept hering these noises from the motor im thinkin ok somthin needs to be tightened. i fill up today with premium and the thing purrs silently...  :mad: . i hope its the end to this problem. so be aware not ever station has good enough mid grade to run off of. but i think i do need a new tentioner still. its all good though its going in the shop monday for a new front cover seal. and new radiator... no more runing hot!!!!!  :supz:
