im just really hoping i am getting the same mileage in the civic as i got in the del slo. right before i sold it i got 45+mpg for half a tank, and that wasnt even grandma driving. just cruise control on the highway, otherwise i drove it kinda hard

my old f350 dually got around 7mpg
$150 to fill it, and it would barely last 5 days

30mpg on 93 octane is total shit. your milage per dollar sucks at that point. in order to justify 93oct in a daily driver and be happy I would have to pull at least 35mpg. you are spending $.030 extra per gallon which equals $3.00 extra per 10gallons (thanks to this new $0.15 raise per fuel grade bullshit they are doing). thats almost an extra gallon of gas you could have bought!

some people wonder why I got rid of a b16 car in favor of one with a y7 in it.... well, that is the reason why. fuck spending more and getting less. I have even been contemplating buying a Rukus because 30's aren't high enough for me.

but this is coming from a guy who is building a motor that will guzzle 93 like water

im suprised more people havent bought a rukus. im deffinately getting one in florida. they get about 100mpg, and correct me if im wrong, but since they are only 49cc you dont even have to have a motorcycles license to drive them on the street. idk what their top speed is, but at least for city driving they are the bees knees

correct, you don't need a motorcycle endorsement

i hated running the 93 octane in the wrx!
it got expensive real quick, that and i only averaged about 18mpg

Out towards Troy, 93 is only $0.20 more per gallon. Doesn't sound like much of a difference but that extra ten cents adds up quick. The four door usually gets 28-30 mpg's, but most of my driving is highway.
