Outrageous Gas prices, WTF!!!!! Options

[Alchemist_57]

i wanna know whether it's better to put 91 gas than 87 in my 5sfe? i've been doing it ever since i've owned the car... i only put good gas in my celi... but is the 5sfe tuned to run on 87? any difference running on 91?

on page 103 of the celica's manual (am i the only one who has one of these?) it says, quote,"OCTANE NUMBER

7A-FE engine - Select Research Octane Number 91 (Octane Rating 87) or higher.

5S-FE engine - Select Research Octane Number 91 (Octane Rating 87) or higher. For improved vehicle performance, the use of premium unleaded gasoline with a Research Octane Number of 96 (Octane Rating 91) or higher is recommended."

hope that answers ur question. i used to run regular in the car, and didn't experience any pinging or knocking. then, i decided to fill up on premium to clean the engine a bit. the ONLY difference i noticed on that tank was a big increase in mileage. so i've been using premium ever since.

3.42$ a US gallon @ 93 octane in PON (ron + mon / 2)

I gotta use 93 in the Celi, and north of the city its just as ridiculous. CT is even expensive too.

Are you serious about the Average in the USA??? the average is about 2.90 per gallon. I know for you 3s-gte guys premium is not looking good on wallets ouch!!!

You have *no* idea.

Try about $70-$80 for less than 250 miles. Regularly.

2.90 dollars / gallon = 2,349 euro / 3,785 liter

In Belgium we pay: 1,20 euro / liter = 1,50 dollar / liter = 5,6775 dollar / gallon

And you think your gas is expensive??

ya'll want to hear something funny? I just herd on the news that president Bush is gonna cut down Enviormental restrictions so that refineries can produce oil quicker. I guess cut down gas prices and speed up global warming lol

This might be of some use to some of you. Quick way to check all the local gas prices (in the US.)

Hearing that makes me feel CHEEKY... I <3 that word.

thanks god I have another celi 1987 GT which I can ride it for a whole week to work and school for 20 bucks. I work 20 miles from my house and my school is passing my house +4 miles so It's not that bad. My 95 St is economic too, but nothing compares to the 87.

[Akimbo]

You guys are building our cars up to be something they're not. Our teeny weeny engines need nothing more than 87, GT's could use 89. But there is no sense in buying any higher.

I'm terribly sorry, but a bar of boost doesn't respond well to paint thinner. It tends to detonate, and that gets expensive.....

[lilsteeg]

dude, it is $2.90 a gallon for the cheap stuff here, and we have 2 huge oil refinery's in town

[teetee]

Im getting $2.79 in Minneasota...it suck...but from reading the other post...WOW!!!..im glad to be in MN...

ok my fellow 6gcer's, i was watching the news (cnn) and i found out some stuff. right now we are paying 75 bucks a barrel for oil. if iran turns against us and cuts us off we will be paying 500 bucks a barrel. and at 75$ we are paying 3.18 a gallon for regular. think about how gas will be if it goes to 500$ a barrel. so thats like 21$ a gallon for regular gas. and they can charge that because we will buy it. i mean who wants to walk to work. with out gas we go nowhere. therefore we will pay no matter what it cost. so think about that when ur spinning tires or street racing, or just cruising around for no apparent reason. but ne way, tty guys later. cya.

thanks for killing my good mood mate.... sigh...
