It\'s around 89 cents per litre in Canada where I live now.

Looks like everyone\'s having bad gas! :p

I only started it with this car.  I wanted to monitor my fuel efficiency, but that\'s proving to be rather frustrating with the S2000.  If I drive it like a granny and always shift at under 4000 rpms, I can squeak out around 28 mpg.  If I VTEC it alot and shift around 8500-9000 rpms, the mileage drops to 16-19 mpg or worse!  It\'s like owning two different cars.  :nut:

Definitely a cool idea, though I don\'t have the patience for it.  I have the same problem with my Jetta... if I drive really cautiously then I get around 25-29 mpg, but if I drive aggressively then it drops to 14-19 mpg.  It has one of those onboard computers which give my mpg - though I don\'t think its terribly accurate.

I am at 23.7 mpg.  It\'s been there for a couple weeks so I don\'t see it going up or down much.  I was at 24 for a while though.  I still hammer the thing all the time.  I need to take it easy.

Everything I have been doing to my car, for the sake of performance, has reduced my mpg.

One of the Shell stations near me is selling premium for $1.99 per gallon.

It\'s only going to get worse with the usual seasonal rise in prices and the impending war.

that means you pay

£0.36 per litre


and your Moaning at this ?

£0.36 per litre....do you realise that us Brits would KILL for that insted of £0.79 per litre.

:(



:rpissed:


I think we need the fuel protests again to stop us from being ripped of. Did you know that for fuel in the UK 77p out of the pound is tax?:mad:

Its the same way here in the US Kurt.  Most of the price per gallon goes to taxes.

Wow, $2.01 a gallon on Guam!  That must be especially painful with your long commute and everything.  ;)

Where at?

Two days ago when I filled up, it was $1.66. Even on base it was $1.59.

BTW, I use the cheap stuff for my car.
