Gas goes back up. What do you pay?

[omi one]

Here in Jacksonville it's at 3.00 for reg but I pay a bit extra for premium, 3.10.

[samcollett]

2.70$ i'll never understand why people use premium.

nicer cars require it. Some cars will knock and ping with the lower octain gasoline. My scooter requires premium, good thing I dont even have to put 2 gallons in it and I get 60+ miles to the gallon.

[DjMattyD]

3.20 for cheap ass shit in Los Angeles

[Jeff.Liu]

2.70$ i'll never understand why people use premium.


Turbo cars require it unless tuned/running on minimal boost to a lower octane gas

[omi one]

From what I understand, regular unleaded creates sludge in your pistons in the long run, and super burns really hot, decreasing the life of your engine. So premium creates the right balance between quick, and hot burning, and cleaner gas.

A lot of luxury cars require it too. Like someone else said, if the car requires it, but its not used, the car will knock...

[Luff]

2.70$ i'll never understand why people use premium.

I have to, which sucks. It's like 3.15 here.

[nukka-cp]

I payed $3.40 yesterday for the middle

[Colon]

$2.99 yesterday but rising fast.

[samcollett]

my dad has driven an infiniti q45 since 94, using regular the entire time. is this not considered a luxury car? also, my aunt has a 95 5 series and uses regular.

Ok, lame. My dad told me I have to put premium in my 95 5 series, so I have.

A perfect example, Navigators require it, H2's don't... Apparently Q-45's don't. I heard that the newer 5 series do require it though, as well as the M series...

[Chrith]

i thought that the older infinti v8's were just nissan truck engines. My audi turco audi needs premium and its only like 3.10 here for that

[samcollett]

Ok, lame. My dad told me I have to put premium in my 95 5 series, so I have.

haha i don't know. i drive a truck so i definitely don't need it, but i see old ladies filling their maximas and buicks with premium and it just doesn't make sense to me.

They're just Nissans. they could run on water alone and it wouldn't improve their performance.

That's because you're a bitch, bitch.

[Mike]

[Rob G]

Ok, lame. My dad told me I have to put premium in my 95 5 series, so I have.


all bmw's require and should run off of premium. And honestly its not that much more.

[lunarone]

Cars are tuned for a certain spec of octane, which is the real difference in the three grades of gasoline. The higher the octane spec, the more explosive the gasoline is... it's really as simple as that. If you don't know what type of gasoline your car was tuned to use primarily from the factory, you really could be wasting your money buying premium. Sometimes cars run fine with any type of gasoline and sometimes they can lose power or gain power with different octane specs. Higher compression engines (turbo causes higher compression because of forced induction) require a more highly explosive gas because the combustion pressure is greater.

For example, when Honda created the F22 engine, a 2.2L four cylinder, they tuned it for 87 octane gas, which is typically "regular" in most states. Tests have been run that show that by using premium, 91 or 93 octane gasoline, I could actually be losing a miniscule amount of power, about 4 hp at the most.

[dkenn75]

$3.34 for regular in SD. Now shuush!

[Rockporter9]

$3.01 in rockport mass as of this morning for regular

[Mapdash]

They're just Nissans. they could run on water alone and it wouldn't improve their performance.

[Mapdash]

3.15 here for premium.

[Iwantazap]

[DJ-NJ]

[Lance Dettle]

$3.23 for 87 in Kane'ohe, HI. its usually about $0.10 cheaper out waianae side though.

[Deebo]

Gotta buy premium for my WRX which is like $3.35 here in Norcal right now. Sucks when I live at least 30 miles from the nearest beach and usually skim 5 days out of the week.

[Kristina G]

yeah u guys who have 3.10 for premium r lucky... so cheap, and we havnt seen under 3 bucks here in soooooo long

[BART]

i fill my tank once every 3 weeks. i seriously don't give a shit what the price of gas is. i just go get gas at the place that has a car wash

[nukka-cp]

BART what kind of car do you drive?

[BART]

http://www.greenspeed.com.au/Honda%20WSC%20384.jpg

[nukka-cp]

Shitt, where's your blinkers?

[BART]

seriously though, i drive an accord. but more importantly, i work at home, my tennis club/gym is 2 miles away, grocery store is a mile away, friends are close. i have a bike too.

the only gas i really burn is to skim.

[nukka-cp]

Damn, I'm looking for a pretty good car with good gas mileage, I love my car to death, but I fill up at least once a week and I go off to college next August so less money for gas is definately a plus.

[Pat-Juh]

so you pay like 3$ for like a liter ( around 1/4 gallon) ???

we pay like 1.87$ for a liter...

[jake]

2.99 but 2.95 across the street in srq

[jake]

no only around 3 bucks for four liters.

[Icej]

2.81 here

[p.pointe]

2.81 here
only place i've seen that at is the Race Track on alafaya. Everywhere else was like 2.91 and 2.85.

[DT]

Stopped here in St. Aug for a fillup today - $3.19 for premium/93 +ouch+ though after hearing some west coast prices, I feel sort of lucky. Have to be careful around here, any of the stations around tourist areas, or right off 95 will hit you up for another $0.20-$0.30/gallon

Good thing we both: work from home, hang out here most of the time, the beach is across the street, DVD's come via mail and we order everything online. Hell our cars sit around most of the time, 95% of our gas use is for fun!

[noah lane]

alls I know is I pay $60+ to fill my 19 gallon tank and it lasts about a week (I do drive quite a bit for work) -and if I drive to Santa Cruz for the weekend I spend $70 to go there and back. Fuck gas.
