Default $3.40 a gallon for gas

Here in Ohio gas has gotten up to a whopping $3.40 for premium, Will this effect your driving the 928. If I can keep my foot out of my Super Charged Beast I can get pretty good milage. How much is premium out on the left side.

Considering any road trip I was planning for this summer - it's now cheaper to fly anywhere round trip than drive. So yes, I would say it's going to effect how much I drive the car.

That's nothing! Up here in Ontario, Canada, regular was around $1.08/litre and premium was probably +$1.20/ litre. That would make a US gall. of of the same fuel well over $4.00.

>$100.00 for a 30 minute race.
$53.00 to drive home.

And have you noticed the price of tires lately...

And the best part is we can't do anything about it. We are at the mercy of the corps..

Anything under $3.50 in my area is great for 91 oct. At Costco yesterday I paid the club price of $3.49 for premium. But the day before I paid about $3.70 for the good stuff in my Truck (over $70 to fill up) at a regular gas station in town. I've had a talk with my boss a couple days ago and their considering increasing the milage allowance for personal vehicle's again. Currently it's $0.44.5 per mile.

Quit complaining. Premium is around $6.30-6.40 per gallon in here.

Stop using so much and the price will come down....

Tire prices have gone up as well that is true.....I just heard on the radio something like 2 gallons of fuel goes into manufacturing/transport of each tire. As oil prices climb so will all related products.

One expert in California has forecast 80$ for late 4th quarter of this year.

And in Canada we will always pay more than the States and it has little to do with the exchange rates of our dollar.

Central Texas:
Unleaded $2.89
Super $3.09

1100 miles from my house to SITM. I plan on budgeting $400-500 just for gas. Ouch.

Here in South Africa it'sjust gone up twice by about 10% each time and it's now R7 per litre which is pretty close to $3.50 per US gal. They say it will go up again soon. Buy shares in bicycle companies.
