Well, I've been reading on how gas companies r using accounting policies to lower their income so that the government won't get to their asses. Back in 1970, the governement placed a huge tax on gas companies cuz their income is thru the roof. The same thing happened in 1990. So wut I'm saying is that gas companies r still making a shit load even tho their financial statements may suggest otherwise.

89 is 2 cents more than 87 and 92 is 2 cents more than 89

so 92 is 4 cents more than 87?!

whats wrong with ethanol blended gas? there is not enough mohawk/husky stations in my area to take adantage of the 91 they offer anyways. my car requires 92. putting in 91 i dont think would be such a big deal would it?

its nicer on the environment to produce ( IE from corn ) but it produces less energy when combusting

same with mohawk... do not want.

the dealership i work at only puts mohawk in all cars. even when i went with the tech to go fill up the GTR we put in 94 mohawk because that's what gas cards we have and i guess it's a contract with all the dealerships on the langley by-pass because i see all makes at mohawk with an esso across the street..

I've reduced my gas bill from ~$200/mn to ~$100/mn. Now that I'm biking to work, I hope to get it down to ~$50/mn.

Exactly, you changed your lifestyle by riding a bike to reduce your bill on fuel.

I hope you're joking :thumbsup: those same kids you criticize for not driving 10-15 years ago are probably making $15-20/hr and don't appreciate someone driving a CLK effectively telling them "pay up suckas" :)

A person can afford a CLK/insurance/fuel/rent/food with a 17/hr job....i know i did when i first started out...you change your lifestyle to better suit your needs. (work more hours, spend less money on mods and commute by bus/bike etc.)
Everything is possible by being smart with money...its not impossible.

Majority of people who are complaining on RS are kids who don't think twice before putting on a useless modifications. Fart cans, intakes, ugly coloured rims and obnoxious blinding HIDs cost money, that money should be put to their fuel consumption.

bottom line, if you cant afford it, dont buy it.
