87 is $2.45 here. Did get 93 for $2.59 last week. Probably won't be driving it much anyways. Rain almost every day this week.

Put 12 gallons of 93 in the tank today at just under $35. My gas warning was down to 30 miles, lol. Kenne Bell is great for speed, ****ty for gas mileage.

When i got my Audi I was really concerned about having to put premium fuel in it, but the cost is so nominal. Maybe 5 more dollars per tank, max...but I get almost 30mpg. I can imagine it might hurt your wallet a little more if you always have your foot "in it" on your GT500.

Today used it to jump the truck after it didn't want to start due to the truck sitting for at least two weeks with out starting (due to coolant leak I needed to fix)

Set a new MPG record. Went on a trip of about 120 miles today. No interstate, mostly highway with speeds between 55-65. The car hit 30mpg on the way up and then dropped to 28 for the return trip.

No I agree, but when I'm going somewhere I've never been before, I'm to worried about how particular local police officesr may or may not be about me looking for more higher spg. ;-)

Drove her to get some cash money from the bank. And sunk some premium in and let the throttle rip.
