Ultra 94 is $1.999/gal... me = :tool: guess the tank was kinda low, but I got 411 miles on it...

yes + the fact that seeing the number 37 turn over made my wallet darn near burn my a$$...

I've paid 59.00 for regular, but that was my dad's 31 gal tank on the Silverado.

That was just the fuel deficit LOL, his car floated him a loan till payday, Bonneys can do that ya know:)

Seriously, I have seen ours take 19.5 gallons once, I was outraged until someone here explained about the filler pipe LOL and tank variations

Yeah I would say it was low! :lol: Your fuel gauge must have been PAST the 'E'! I got a little scared the other day driving around with the needle at the bottom of my "orange zone", but when I filled up it only took 14.7 gallons! There is more reserve fuel there than the gauge allows you to believe... but now I know! :wink:

Don't count on that!! Mine was at the top of the Warning zone, and it took 18.x gallons to fill it up. I don't think the fuel gauges are very accurate...

I almost didn't understand the pic at first.....

Then I remembered gallons and USD...

I've paid over $55 for a tank here in Canada.... so $37 sounded really cheap... hehe :wink:

:stupid:

Yep, thats my "top up" gas price.. with 40% gas still in my tank. If I get out of the station sub $50 bux, its been a good day
