Just got through filling mine up with 92 Octane. $26 and 13.007 gallons. Now i'm starting to wondering if It was a mistake buying a supercharged car or not. Then my mind comes back to me as I mash the loud pedal and I realize it was not mistake.

Me either it might cost me a little more to fill up the SSEi, but i'm getting about 24mpg avg and the old 89 Bonny was only getting 20mpg avg so it was all worth it.

I've paid over $55 for a tank here in Canada.... so $37 sounded really cheap... hehe
2 weeks ago I was in Belleville ON and I paid 69.7 cents a litre. I left Belleville and by the time I got back to Halifax I was paying 87 cents a litre standing at a gas station looking across the harbour at the oil refinery. I never knew shipping gas 1900 more kms dropped the price by 20 percent. If thats the case why aren't we getting gas shipped from British Columbia?
