What are you paying for Gas??
Wonder what everyones been paying for "motion lotion".
Been traveling a bit for my company and just got back from Kentucky.
$2.01 for Shell V down there $2.04 up here in Ohio, just North of Cincy.
Was at $2.22.
Reno was $2.40 when I was out there a month or so ago.
As far as milage I'm getting 30.3 mpg on the road with, bout 26.4 around here.
Talked to my mechanic and he said that close to the normal.
First C5 and that amazes me.
Regards.

In South Florida, I am paying around $2.24 to $2.31 per gallon for 93 octane. My average fuel economy is around 20 mpg. Most of my driving is on a highway, but the 4 miles from the highway to the office take as long to travel as the 20 miles of highway. That is what kills my fuel economy. Otherwise, I would be around the same 24 to 26 mpg.

Paid between $2.29 & 2.39 for 93 octane. was getting 26 27 on the highway 18 on the street. Just put on Borla stinger and Halltech airintake, mileage took a nose dive so far. Maybe the computer will catchup, Maybe my lead foot needs to lighten up and stop listening to the Borlas

93 Octane, Man we don't see that out here in Kalifornia! I just paid $2.33 for 91 Octane in NorCal. Of course I don't buy cheap gas only Chevron or 76.

$2.20 for Chevron Supreme (93 octane).
Sinbaad, I just put a Blackwing on mine, and I also have Borla Stingers, and my gas mileage nosedived too. The first hundred miles or so it dropped from my usual 28.5 on the highway to about 23 (I was on a highway trip immediately); after that, it seemed to pick back up and is almost normal now, I think. I'll know after a couple of more tanksfull.
My usual driving is suburban, I suppose you'd say ... some stop and go, but mostly go. Overall, I've been getting around 23, so it'll be interesting to see what the Blackwing does.

I was in LA for 5 years last time.
Was glad to leave.
Hated the Sata Ana's, dust into everything.
Had a Vert and I certainly miss the top off weather.
1st time in the AF High Desert. Paid as little as .09 a gallon for high test, regular leaded was .19. Thay had gas wars back then.
Hope I'm not dating yself???
Had a 63' SW Coupe then. No A/C, no P/S, no P/B
Rosted my butt off. Went to VN. Car went home. Sister drove car. Car went to wrecking yard.
Cincinnati OK little snow little wet, lots of allergies.
Doesn't get too awful cold. Have warm garage.
Regards
