man its gotten a lil crazy.

have anybody kinda stop driving like they was to save on gas i know i didn't use my AE86 for like 4 days since its a 20 year old car i only use premuim for it and where i normally go premuim is about 3.75. Right now i have a half a tank and had to drive to the city today. besides that i full up my 03 rolla sunday night wit 87 and it was a lil under half a tank and still took $35.00 to full up i remeber with 22.00 it use to get full and they saying it might still get even higher.

I don't change the way I drive. I have a 4af in the SR5... so I don't care what gas costs; since I fill up once every 3 weeks!

because my MR2 only takes 93oct I have it at half a tank and it's park.  I can't seem to keep the MR2 under 80 so that's why my wife has the keys to that thing.

MY corolla is good on gas but I only use it now to go to work.  

Because my wife works near the college i go to, I take her to work and then I head over to school.  I stay there and study till she gets out and then I pick her up.

Kinda sucks cause we still have to do shopping for the wedding and all, but we try to mainstream our places to go so we can do it all one trip.

I used to take my wife out like 3 times a week.  We decided that for right now we'll go out once a week and just chill at home and watch a movie.  
it's kinda great: dinner, movie, -censored- :-o

F***ing $53 my last fillup!  I remember filling up for under $20!  I still drive just as much, but will mod the engine for better mpg.  GrandLordKhorne showed me how to block the EGR which I will do over the weenend, then need to get the $$$ for a Water Injection system.

I still have a gas station around me that serves 89 octane (Silver) for $2.93/gal so I still drive my gas guzzling supra. Wait till i get my new engine put in, it will become a MONSTER gas guzzling supra.. Smiley
