Okay I hate to revive a dead post but this is a very serious question. Now that things are getting worse and tomorrow might be the big day, gas prices are starting to go up! With this said I am currently looking into buying an FD. The whole Premium thing is gonna kill me if I do. So....my question is what can I do to save money. I remember reading a post where yall were talking about octane boosters. Can you run the car on this if no what else can I do. Money is tight right at the moment and if I cant afford to fill the car up no sense in buying it. PLease help.....

I hope you are not talking about your business. I don't even want to thin about that.



Today on the news they said that we are expected to only get 20 million barrells a day. That sounds like alot but over 20 million people fill up their car a day in Texas alone! Scary...

Thank god I own an austin mini. Drove myself and my girlfriend to work monday thru friday, 35 mile round trip, drove around town a few times putting on maybe an extra 50miles, and spent $8. Thats right 8 american dollars!!! Then topped the tank off for weekend driving with another 2 dollars. Got to love 50+mpg on the cheap stuff.

yeah I was talking about the business. (everyone will still get everything they ordered) There is a 99.9% chance they will make me stay in the Navy and then I will be put back on the boat since my time on the beach is up.



Yeah I have a Vitz too, so that helps A GREAT deal for the $$$$ 280km on a tank in the 7 or close to 500km in the VITZ, hum. Also to fill up my 7 is $60, and the Vitz is $40

Holy crap your getting raped...60 bucks?!

I spent 35 bucks filling mine up and I got pissed. I'm sorry.



BTW Octane boosters are junk. Plus they cost like 6-10 bucks so it's just like using premium in the first place. I don't really think they boost it that much either.

Its all the more reason to run AV gas, the price is getting closer per gallon

Japan gas prices are nasty. The best I have seen I think was

98 yen a liter. Now they are 108 yen a liter and holding
