Default How much to fill up your 928???

Okay I spent $57.78 yesterday for 17 gallons in the 928....$3.399 per gallon....that is the most expensive tank I have ever bought in my LIFE...but I guess owning only 4 cylinder (or less) cars is cheaper!!

How much have you spent recently to fill up your tank!!! I love my 928, but man its expensive to gas up!!

I've been paying $3.17 for 93 octane around the corner, but I just found a place on my way to work that sells 87 88 89 91 and 93 octane, 91 octane there is ONLY $3.01!

Yep. I used to plan on 2 x $20 bills. Now I plan on 3 - but I haven't paid cash for gas in many many years. Plastic is king.

What's really painful is filling up the Yukon XL - $85 per!

im pretty sure it was in the 50s, but i havn't had to fill the thing up since gas was 2.85 for 91. That 2 mile commute thing is really working for me these days!

I pay 3.49/gal near my home on the MRY peninsula.. Brian it's still A LOT cheaper than in europe, where I paid $6.00/gal as recently as last summer. This summer it will be more....

No one said it was a cheap car on gas... You could always park it...

I used to own a Renault 5. I used to drain the old fuel every year and fill with nice fresh fuel.

Is that better than the $3.49 we're paying in Rain-attle?

Well try living in the U.K.,when you guys start paying $6.35 per U.S.gallon maybe you'll have something to moan about . That's $122.50 a tank full , approx 70ltrs (if you've driven a bit with the low fuel warning light on)

Filled up today and it was the 1st time ever that I spent over $3.00 per gallon.

It was $3.01.
