This middle east thing is bad, and it is going to get worse. Still I need to sell one of my vehicles to help pay my bills, either the Toyota Camry Hybrid or the X-runner. The smart move would be to sell the X-runner but I never thought I was smart. It is so bad over there that they are pulling my civilian friends out of there; that tells me it is going to get real bad.
That would be the smart thing to do but who would want to drive a camry over a x. I 'm getting ready to drive from GA to SA for school. I'll be heading out on Monday and taking my x on my first road trip with it other than going to ATL.

gas this moring is 121.4 per liter or 4.61 per gallon and thats shitty gas... premium as in ultra 94 ( which my x gets) is 138.4 per liter or 5.24 per gallon!!!!

Do you actually notice a difference when you put 94 in?

no matter where you are gas prices going up sucks, but I love the threads that are all about 'how do you drive these trucks everyday' I always get a kick when garage queens come out for a drive and people get upset... like I said though no matter where you are when your used to paying a fee and for no 'real' reason it jumps like it did its a piss off!!

I so feel ur pain.... put the better octane in my truck for the first time.... but damn it makes a difference

I paid $3.81 this morning in San Francisco. $3.75 just 30 minutes away.
Just when you think they were going down...they creep back up. Diesel is $4.09.

sprouls, i cant say the difference is night and day or weather its just in my head but I feel it is better. when I first bought the truck i put regular (87) as thats what the manual calls for but after running my first tank at 94 the exhaust was black and left ricer marks on my lower flair. I did research and this was normal as it was cleaning out my engine and for that alone I run it and will continue to get bent over at the pump running it.

What's everyone think about the cost of gas going up 4 cents over night?
I put premium in my x and it usually takes $60 to fill up my truck but now its going to take around 65 or 70 and I am having to drive from GA to TX freaking awesome


60 gets me 3/4....:thumpdown:

I've switched from premium 92 to regular 87 and to tell you the truth haven't noticed any difference other than improvement in mileage.
Prices will continue to rise, once Libya is done, there's still uncertainty in other middle eastern countries.
We will be screwed if Saudi Arabia has a revolution , I think I'll start investing in oil, least that will offset the price difference.

The average in Ontario is 1.20/ litre(87). Don't complain. Got the shaft last July when the HST came in with a 5% increase at the pump(5%/litre). They have a hand in one pocket and they shove it to us ( you know where.) Welcome to Ontario, 13% TX on everything you buy.
