tis why you should take summer classes @ WSU/UMD near the D, where gas is cheap! Man, I've saved some much cash on filling up in the D this summer! Crazy AA bastids! Ay steeda, I know of a decent place in AA, it's a bit out of the way, but not too shabby. Go down Geddes (in the direction of that big arse barnes and nobles) all the way to where the entrance of 23 is. There's a Marathon on the opposite side. I was in AA, three days ago and it was $2.40/gallon.

Ya the 297 was for the el premium-o at the BP like right off 23 on Plymoth road. not even 300 ft down from the BP it was like 279 for the prem at the craptastic speedway. I need a car that takes reg thats for sure...

atleast my cars get like 32mpg and 47mpg

I just got back from Ohio and WV and cheapest we paid was $2.43, but the going rate was $2.55. Mind you this was regular and our Rainer got a best of 18.8 mpg doing 70-75 w/ the cruize on and 3 adults, 2 kids and gear. At least we had a comfortable ride there

and what are you drivin a SHO? my contour is gettin around 23 avg. mixed right now which sucks
Posted By: Klasse Act Re: Gas prices - 08/17/05 01:15 AM
23 mpg with mixed driving doesn't suck at all IMO. One thing that everyone needs to check with these high prices is your tires air pressure, its little but it helps and its FREE!

My alignment is all goofed up too, which needs to be done, but I need to change the struts first, haven't had the time. The new struts have been sitting in the garage for like a month and a half.

Sometimes its varies, the best I have done is 25 mpg mixed, which isn't too bad. If you have a heavy foot gas can be the enemy or oddly enough a friend too when out for a cruise.

I got 32.8 mpg coming back from the Dragon Run last year and that was doing 70-75 mph.

It was $1.99 on hall rd at one station earlier today..... it caused a 2-3 mile long traffic jam, and stoped every lane of hall rd going west. I thought there was an accident. There were police walking up and down the cars directing traffic... and other people got out og their cars in the middle of hall rd and walked around for some reason...lol

All in all it was frekin crazy......

I hate those gas station traffic jams. There is no way I would sit in a long-a$* line to get gas. The money I would save is not worth the time and frustration. But, I guess some people have more time on their hands.
