Default Gas.... its killing me, and im sure its killing all of you.

paid $3.83 tonight and put $10 worth. I hate to say it, but driving my blazer will soon be a luxury. gonna whip out some stabil over the summer if prices become too steep.

Most of the places i go around within close proximity, work, food, friends houses. anyways, heres my gas efficient idea.

It would probably be great, but the law might not like it because you'd be having too much fun.

For anyone that's never heard of it: GasBuddy.com - Find Low Gas Prices in the USA and Canada It's a crowdsourced database of gas prices. Obviously, it won't make the prices go down but it can help you find the lowest prices in your area. They used to offer links to various other fuels like LPG or ethanol-free but I can't find it

$3.98 for 91 octane in central IA.Got my van out cuz I thought it got better mileage but only got 16.4. Maybe its just old gas but my van is over 1000 pounds lighter with a 3.3L V6 I could've sworn it would be better. Oh well now its acting up anyway, evil "Check Engine"
