Pezzy Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Yup. Went up 15cents a liter while I slept. Could of filled up yesterday but didn't. 13 cents / L here. The government says they hike ours, and it's not a canadian thing, its because of all of North America. Ummm kay. So far, no one from the states have had the same. And the excuses keep coming.

Precise1 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 LMAO, they are all playing games with your wallets. They know it, you know it, Bush knows it, Congress... Only way to beat them is to push alternative fuel as fast and hard as possible, perhaps bankrupting the bastages... No mercy, this is an economic war!!! $3.75/gal here today. I have 2/3 tank but will fill up tomorrow to try to ride out the price spike I expect. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joke!!! Do you have that much extra cash or do you just like wasting it? B I think I need to dig up the article about gas octane, how only high compression motors need it and why putting it in a lower compression engine is a waste...

I never pump premium in the pathy tho I have noticed slightly better mileage w/ midgrade but its not enough to overcome the price differance of midgrade istelf so I stick to regular.

Simon Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Dude!! That's the same motor as in my '95. They run just fine on regular (87 octane)!!! No joke!!! Do you have that much extra cash or do you just like wasting it? Um...no. The VQ series motors (which the 2005 has) is a totally different animal from the VG's we have. They have variable valve timing, and all the toys. They do get better mileage, and have more power with the high test stuff. You're absolutely right about our motors though, a total waste to run anything but the cheap stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
