$80 in gas,

Sounds like you're not getting very good mileage... I know gas is sky high, but last month I filled up in Winchester VA and drove to Alliance OH... Next day went to the "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" in Cleveland, then back to Alliance to fill up, 408mi total... Got a hair over 26mpg, cost to fill up was $60.00 @ 3.679...

good god!  i wish gas was that cheap here.  on average, i pay about $4.15 per gallon.  granted that's premium, but still.  i got around to checking the mileage that my car gets a few weeks ago, and was very pleased to see that i get 31mpg.  not too shabby for a 21 year old 3600lb boat with 120,000 miles on it.:bowdown:

It kills me. Missouri is suppose to have the lowest prices in the country but if thats true then... ! We are not a country (nor is Canada, never been there so not sure) that can run off mass transit. Its too late to try and establish a rail system that wont cost an arm and a leg. We run on oil and thats how it is. When people compare us to Europe and their prices i want to slap them. You can get on a train in Europe and go ANYWHERE! and get there ON TIME! We are not set up for anything like that. country is too bug so when Washington finally pulls their heads out of their asses and finishs cleaning all the bullshiznit out of their ears they might work on this. But until then the middle class will just keep taking the beating and disappearing.

My gas gauge is broke so i go 40- 45 miles on $10 which was almost 3 gallons now its around 2.5

Unless you've have mods, it should operate just fine on 87... Paying for un-needed octane generally hurts gas mileage...

yeah, high octane is almost never needed unless you're playing with your air/fuel and spark tables or you're running boost.  Even my bike runs just as well on 87.  And recent tests in a bike magazine show that hyabusas run just 1.5 hp less on 87 than 91.  If you dont have a knock, just save the money.
