    My last two tanks were over $80 (running premium for the S/C). Serious OUCH! It got me off the fence on a Mini Cooper S that I was considering. Faxed in the buy order this afternoon. Will post picks next week of the latest addition to the stable...

    $12.00 to fill up (3 gallons) for my sunny day vehicle, a Piaggio MP3. Gets 65 mpg. VX is sad and sitting in driveway most days now.

    I just gassed up the Rex last night for $45 at $4.01 a gal (Ultra 93).

    Whew, luckily, the VX only sees weekend driving and fill ups once every 3-4 weeks.

    Gassed the VX up Sunday which still had a hair over a 1/4 tank. Hit my local Sunoco, which is locally renowned for having the best 93octane in the area, heh (don't ask, but I think they pour magic dust into their mixture....). $4.09 for 93octane and ran me just over $60 to top it off. I get to fill the Rex back up this evening, so yep, it's starting to force the moths in my wallet to get a job.
