there could have been all sorts of complications there...

you should have had AC on...or you were driving people with AC on..or you could have just floored it a lil harder than usual that day....or alot of stop and go traffic...etc

did you fill up ur gas all the way? or only put in 45? becuase it usually takes me 70miles before my stupid needle starts moving down....and when it moves down, it jsut keeeeeeeeep going faster n faster...


you might have not filled up all the way....you know?

There is no reason why you should out premium in your car, youre just wasting $$. I like using 76 station. Sure its more expensive but it doesnt butn as fast at least for me.

Dayumm! I work like 5-10 minutes away from SCP.
But once I had to get gas and I was driving around my work area for like EVER and couldn't find a SINGLE gas station! I drove down Jamboree, than down Michelson, than down Von Karmon and finally hit a Chevron by the John Wayne Airport. It was such a horrible experience. And it was like $4.35, I think.

I think I may have been pushing a bit harder..I don't know but it was just weird because I've like hit my gas harder than that or have traveled longer than that and it didn't go down that fast. I ono.

Yeh all the way, a little past F.

Re: Gas

has anyone who says not to put plus gas in their car ever tried it? Maybe it's just me but when I put regular gas in my car acceleration was crap. I don't know if it's just me but I'm certain midgrade makes my car accelerate better.

Re: Gas

my name is Kyle...
and I don't know whats up, maybe my car just evolved to accept mid grade better. I've gone back and forth on regular gas several time, thinking the same thing, but each and every time the car was a pain to drive on regular.
I think the extra money is totally worth what I get in acceleration.

Re: Gas

I use a credit card with 5% cash back on gas, and I try to avoid arco entirely. Not because of the quality, but because they only accept cash or debit.
