Me and OnelowcabriO took a wrong turn on the thruway tonight, I was already on empty and didnt feel like paying outrageous thruway gas prices so I pushed it till I got back home ~40 miles round trip.

Any one who can guess my trip mileage wins a beer at waterfest!

I meant it was a 40 mile detour on the thruway, I got on the wrong way and there wasnt another exit for like 18 miles, so by time I got home it was like 40 miles

Whats it up to in Cali? 2.29 is way high for around here, thats premium (93octane) as well. I remember about 2 years ago visiting familly in VA and filling up for under 1$ a gallon. **** is getting rediculous now http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif

Re: Running on E? (Fast Bumpers)

yah, we're paying 102.somethin for 93 octane/litre up here right now...
works out to about 3.90 a gallon..

so be sure to say thanks to the peckerhead you see at the pump filling up his escalade, right next to the jerk with the almost 5.0l mustang.

edit: premium here = 91. basterds stole our 92!

yeah I've seen that price, but there's lower...there's $2.47 at LaBrea and Beverly. I got stuck with filling up near Pt. Dume on PCH at $2.76 well I mean I threw $10 at it, just enough to drive around for a while and get back to Beverly for the cheap(er) gas. It's supposed to hit over $3 for regular over the summer! Why;d I have to move to cali now? On a good not, back in Philly where Im from, gas prices aren't all that different
