Am I getting cranky, when I pay $50 to fill my Pepper in Cal (2.50/gal)

THEN I HAVE TO PAY $.50 FOR AIR TO FILL MY TIRES ##xx&&==++.

 

I wouldn't bitch about the gas costs- I think we've got it pretty good here in the States. But the air......that's pretty bad.

Heck I'm surprised that California hasn't devised some "air tax" with a special surcharge for "organic" air.

 

Torags, I thought you had air-suspension?

 

Some stations will waive the 50cents charge if you bought gas.

 

the price of gas in Boston is increasing too, its like 2.20/gallon I am very depressed because my Cayenne S = 8mpg...

 

Actually it is ILLEGAL for gas stations to charge for air in CA if you pay for gas. Yet another law that is not enforced.

Complain and get your $. back....

 

8mpg...holy cow that is bad. Even when honk on my C-S, I get in the12-14 range.

 

What is your average speed for the 8 MPG?

 

I drive mostly in city, when I do city driving, I finish 20gallons (just after the thing beeps) in just 160miles. If I do highway driving, I can reach 180miles. Which means city:8mpg and highway:9mpg...

I drive like normal Porsche owners do (you know what I mean hehehe)

 

CA would probably want a broader tax. This idea could evolve in to charging a tax on farts.


"Torags, I thought you had air-suspension?"

Holy mackeral do I have to fill my struts?...

 

I average 17 with my S...You must be pedal to the metal 24-7 to only get 8 mpg...

 

I pay for a full tank now around 47 bucks. When i first got the car in October a full tank costed me 34 max.

 

what should I do then? Should I get my dealer to check it? 17mpg that is really good, I used the computer to look at the mpg and it says 10.1, 10.0, 10.3 and 10.30 is the best I get!

 

I was paying $37-39 (fill up tank after alert); now $50.00. Now $2.50 - due to go higher, says TV.

I average 12.5 to 13.5mpg; city driving - avg trip 10 miles or less. Lots of stop/park & restart. I do about 1300 - 1400 mi per month. I'm usually out of warranty by year 3.

So far, the truck hasn't had any problems after the first month (battery, DME remap); runs great.

 

Thats good... Since i got my car i had to visit my dealer a couple of times.
