Well as of last check the suburban was getting 10 mpg. Hopefully I can get the camaro up and running and it will get about 25 mpg.

Can't say as I blame you RJ. The price of gas is horrendous.

The price of gas here in Windsor jumped yesterday. From $1.17 per litre to $1.27 per litre for regular. $1.27 per litre converts to $4.80 per gallon. Premium gas is $1.40 per litre. Which is $5.29 per gallon.

That kinda kills the idea of cruising around town or taking un-necessary trips. So I can certainly understand why you and anyone else would decide to stay home this year. All the more reason for people to have more local meets.

I know. I'm now seriously considering whether premium gas is REALLY needed in our supercharged Monte's or not.

But I don't want to hi-jack RJ's thread. So back to the original topic.

RJ, have you decided what you're going to do? Going to Monte Nats sounds like a really cool time.

Default l.r. gas

Little Rock. Gas prices are $3.45 for 87oct. and up to $3.94 for 97oct.
I drive my S-10 to work and back which is only about a 10 minute drive
one way. I can go about two weeks before I have to fill up.
Since I only drive the MC on weekends; I can go all month and a week or two.
However,it's going to really have a bad affect on our nations economy .

I work about 1.5 miles away from my house so gas isn't hurting too much. The gauge on the car says 28 mpg pretty steadily. i spend about 55.00 to fill it and can run about 2 weeks on that before i need to fill it again.
