Default 21.57 to fill my S2000 up

I average about 240 - 250 miles a tank so 21.57 is just way too much!!!!

The prices in Winson are hovering around 2.05 - 2.15 per gallon at this time for 93 Octane.

Arrgghhh!!!

Yeah it really suck!! Just when you think the prices are as high as they can get they go higher. I guess we should be happy its not $3.00 a gallon for crappy 91 octane like California.

I work to pay for Fuel, Oil and Tires.......Because of that fact, I look at it this way.

I've paid more than $21.57 for alot of things that did'nt put a smile on my face like the S2000 does.

Don't Cry over that. Here in California, 2.50 a gallon (91 Octane----->I wish we had 93 octane), 28.00 to fill her up, and 200 Miles/Tank (serious Vtecing)

Kidding of course...I paid $21.70 last night (I think it was $2.09 a gallon in Huntersville).

I paid $24 to fill up yesterday. I remember back when I complained about having to burn 93 octane in my Formula back in '96 when it was like 1.10 a gallon.

Just think positively, driving the "S" is becoming porptionally more economincal:

A few months ago...
87 octane=$1.50
93 octane=$1.70... 13% more expensive

Today...
87 octane=$2.00
93 octane=$2.20... 10% more expensive
