crazy oil prices - what are you paying for gas???

[supercharged]

with oil prices being $98 a barrel (I wanna make more money by raising the prices idea) gas is getting pretty close to $4.00. And that might not be the end of it. Anyway, what are you paying for gas currently? What type of gas do you use, and what are your maintaince advices/help ideas to be as fuel efficient as possible???
Both my cars are V-6s' (2005 Acura RL 3.5, and 99 Infiniti I30t), I get around 17-18 MPG on RL (runs on premium only), and around 19-20 MPG on Infinit (runs on regular, premium is recommended, but not mandatory...not worth it, I get about the same MPG on premium). It takes $55 to fill up Infiniti, and $65 to fill up Acura. I do all little maintaince/tune ups on time (spark plugs on Infiniti, air filters, and such).

Gas is around $3.25 for regular, and $3.60 for premium...

Anyway, I saw one of those TORNADO FUEL SAVER.Tornado Fuel Saver Automotive Fuel Saver (http://www.tornado-fuelsaver.tv/)

What do you guys think of it? Is it worth a try? Even a 10% increase in fuel economy fill help out a lot...

also found this gadget...Pay Less For Gas With Ethos FR (http://www.thegassecret.com/) wonder if it works...couple it up with tornado...get 30 MPG...

I'm paying $2.89 regular have no clue what premium is going for. I wouldn't waste my $$ on that tornado thingy, I doubt it would do much good. Besides keeping the air/fuel filters clean/new, spark plugs either replaced or just cleaned off and regapping if needed. Cleaning (carefully) your MAF and throttle body will also help.

3.09

around 7 pr gallon here

$3.19 gal here in northern lower Michigan. I increased my tire pressure to max which is 40 psi for my truck tires. I got another 1 mpg. Rides ruffer but I dont care.

$2.99 average around King of Prussia, PA. As far as the Tornado, I personally wouldn't waste my money. Keeping your air filter clean and making sure your tires are properly inflated would probably be two of the biggest things you could do to get better MPG on any vehicle. That and a fresh coat of wax/sealant for better aerodynamics LOL (sorry, I had to...)

I have a Honda Prelude and since its colder now i get about 21 mpg and it requires premium. Gas around NYC is about 3.45-3.60 for premium. I've been driving kind of hard but when I want to get the best mpg possible i shift every 2,500 rpms usually i shift around 3k, and i don't drive past 60. Keeping my tire pressure at 32 psi and drafting cars help too. I improved my mpg to 25.5 when I did that.

I filled up yesterday at the truck stop for $3.29 a gallon. My tank takes about 36 gallons, so it was close to $120 for a full tank.

It's a diesel, so I get about 17 mpg in town. The good thing is, I get more than 600 miles to a full tank.

My next vehicle will be a diesel BMW. Never going back to gasoline again.

You may not want to go to diesel, I hear diesel is going to be more than gas in the near future. I pay $3.75 a gallon hear in California for medium grade of gas.

3.20 for regular...hmmm, boats, jet ski's, V10, V8's etc, gas companies just love us ;)

Diesel is already more then premium here, which doesn't make sense considering its crude and doesn't have to go through the $$ refining process.

US economy is in the sh!tter and will only get worse, there's some scary reports out there on good chance of what could happen (from people who have been right so far on pretty much everything else). Our dollar could end up being among the weakest at the rate things are going. China/Japan could crush us at a moments notice if they attempted to cash in and write off the losses they hold from our debt, which their economies could absorb.

2.91

The best thing to do to increase your MPG is a lighter foot, all those tornado and fuel atomizer things do nothing. Give your car a good tune up and run a bottle of seafoam through the vacuum lines once a year and you should be doing OK.

PS nobody better complain until they get 10 MPG hehe

[FMINUS]

$3.60 for premium getting 10MPG :)

Skip the tornado.... waste of time...

[beabout]

Just went to $3.00 a gallon here for 87 octane... Some say it will be over $4.00 if oil goes above $120...

Sorry, just noticed I need to add location: Oklahoma City

[CalgaryDetail]

about abuck a litre so we pay about 375-4 bucks a gallon

[Strokin04]

$2.94 for 87 octane and $3.11 for diesel in the OKC area.
