So how much does it cost you guys to fill up your car? I am from Canada so your $/gallon is too annoying to compare to our cents/litre. My S13 costs my about 35 bux to fill from pretty close to empty.

Dude, how much is gas in Atlanata and what grade you put in your car? Unless S13 has tank smaller than S14.

I only use Chevron 91 grade (gotta love MTBE) and my tank comes out to $30 US. As far as mileage, I got 290miles on 13 gallons going steady 85-90mph at 90F temperature.

We have some of the cheapest gas in the nation! ... I would guess it's around $1.34 gallon .. .maybe less

I havent gotten gas in a few days and it's been dropping lately so I'm not sure ... also I use regular man... I notice no difference between regular and premium

in nyc the gas prices are so high now..it's like 2 buck/gallon for super?( the middle pump). I usually fill up 10 buck everytime when i go near empty and it doesn't even hit the 1/2 way mark. so i'm guessing to fill it up it needs around 25 buck.

I use 87. If it doesn't ping I won't pay the increased price. Takes about 20 bucks to fill my s13.

Takes about 38-40 bucks to fill my 240 from complete empty. BUt gas prices are really high here, like 79.9 cents a liter.

I get 400+ Kilometers of city driving, and I don't have a light foot.

On a side note, I find it amusing how many americans think that all Canadians say 'eh' or as it was put earlier 'aye' after their sentences.

I pay about 2 bucks a gal for premium here, cost me 30 bucks to fill up my s13. My dad took my car the other day and put 10 dollars worth of crap in it and I noticed a big difference, definitely pingy. so when the tank was near empty I poured some FI cleaner in there and filled up w/ premium, I think its worth the extra few bucks per tankfull to have a smoother running engine

I pay about $30ish to fill it. The tank is not empty when i fill it though so im not sure how accurate that is. I usually fill when i get to about 400+km on the trip odometer.

$1.70 for 93 octane here. On another note, most folks here seem to get much lower economy than I do. I get 28-31 mpg. I'm just interested in knowing how driving conditions and tune ups are affecting everybody. When I filled up tonight, I had over 1/8 tank left w/ 340+ miles since my last fillup. I live in BFE where there isn't a lot of traffic. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.
