I just paid $4.05 for 1 gallon of gas. First time ive paid over $4 ever in my life, and never want to again.

93 octane at a "reasonably" priced station compared to others.

87 is creeping to $3.87.

/economy, /America, /savings account, /life.

sucks to be you, I just paid 3.95 for regular on my DD. Looking at riding a horse to work soon.

H0SS302 · May 23, 2008

This is why im running an 87 tune right now. I have a sweet tune made with the a/f ratio locked down and timing done up perfect, but its just not worth the extra coin to run 93 at the moment.

yeah dude, gas is ridiculous, its only gonna hurt the lower income american families, and possibly the middle class, which sucks dude, especially when less than 1% of American families actually save money. Only way to get it down is if america as a whole begins conserving, which, i hardly doubt is gonna happen since most americans love driving their tanks. Im seriously considering in purchasing some small gas efficiant car.

87 octane is still $3.78, with my tune I need 93 though.

I cant remove it because it also serves as my speedometer calibrater.

Horses poop too much, im thinking car surfing might be a better idea.

I just filled my car up. $57.75 worth of 93 at $4.15 a gallon. 13.886 gallons.

As ridiculous as gas prices are now, I completely forget about them whenever I'm driving my car, until I realize I don't have enough $$ to pick up a quick dinner.

Same here man. A the little tit for tat stuff that used to be no sweat has gone away now. It really sucks.

the gas ststion by my house 87 is 4.05 89 is 4.13 and 91 is 4.23 but my stang is wrecked so i dont have to worry about gas till i get another one

SaleenGT2001 · May 23, 2008

i paid $7.35 a gallon on wed.

68stang351 · May 23, 2008

A half hour ago I paid 4.15 a gallon for 93.

jprovence · May 23, 2008

start coasting with the engine off. I am starting to do it. Even works with an auto. I used to restart the GT while rolling. Aroun 20mph and drop into 4th or 5th gear with engine off and the key in the on position. Pretty much doubles the miliage. Brakes and steering take a bit more strenght, but nothing anyone couldn' handle. Just an idea. I have been doing it for a few weeks with much success.

here in connecticut i seen 87 at $4.35 per gallon

Ooch! I never thought I'd see the day when someone would pay $57.00 to fill a stang up. I can remember when gas was .70 cents a gallon. Yea, 'Im a old guy. Pearl02.

highest i have seen here for 87 in the Chicagoland area...keep in mind i live in the 'burbs... is 4.30. average is abut 4.15 which puts 93 at 4.50ish and 4.35

i just did a zip code check on gas prices in the city...average for 87 is 4.38 and higest is 4.59

this is sickening

98COBRA281 · May 24, 2008

yeah gas prices are crazy about 4.05 for 87 here in florida, but i guess i dont drive that much. i use less the 20$ a week in gas

03TrueBlue · May 24, 2008

Sounds like I got lucky at 3.95 for 93 yesterday.

Mustang5L5 · May 24, 2008

I tend to roll in neutral a lot. I've even made it a game to see how far i can roll sometimes in neutral.

I don't turn the engine off though, but when i come off the highway i just shift to N or push the clutch in and roll down the offramp. Same thing with hills or when i see the light go red way ahead.

Amazing how long it takes to stop a car that is just free rolling. I once think I rolled nearly a half a mile in neutral

LaserSVT · May 24, 2008

4.17 a gallon here

281CI96Coupe · May 24, 2008

lawl turning off the car, thats a bit extreme....I feather the throttle and it does double the mileage...it seems that people are less aggressive on the streets now ahahaha....
