You all think about getting a Sunoco card? You get a bill about every month but the advantage of it is that it takes 5% off every gallon which is probably about 13 or 14 cents. When I get the bill in the mail I'm saving myself about $6 or so determining how much I use.

I think PA is officially cheaper than NJ. From what I see and here NJ's price jumped radically more than PA.

I JUST paid $2.61 for diesel to fill my Sprinter. That was Hess in Southampton.

Yeah well today I was driving past Lukoil while it was still open. For Regular gas it was $2.73. Well an hour later after it closed, I saw the price was 3.24... Wow that sucks. I went out tonight to get a full tank of gas because of this sad problem down in the south. Well I get over to Hess, and it looks like the gas problem back in the 70's, cars everwhere. After waiting 20 min, the computers shut down and the entire place was closed up. After finding that out, I also found out they didn't even have regular gas. So I head over to another gas station. Only gas they had there was 94 Octane. I finally went over to some dollar store gas station which still had 87 regular, and asked him (so having alot of biz) and he said yup. He told me that the gas prices are going to go up .10 cents every week untill it hits $4.00 a gallon. Well this is kind of beat, just in time for me to go to college. Kind of happy my car can run on 87 octain and get great mpg.

as i said in another thread, i'm just leaving the mbc on so i run a little leaner on purpose!!!

TROLL
09-01-2005, 04:39 PM
i dont think your mbc will have you running leaner... if anything it will run about the same AFRs and be pushing more air, so it will also be drawing more fuel.

MBC has nothing to do with A/Fs. The only time your MBC is working is when your in boost. So anytime your actually using the MBC your using more fuel. If you want to save gas keep the revs as low as possible and your foot barely on the gas pedal. That is according to BMW.

Raven18940
09-01-2005, 04:57 PM
Yeah, I was putting around under 2000 revs most of the day watching my digital fuel economy average. Every time I went wide open it dropped one or two tenths and I had to build it back up. Wish I drove some highway miles, it gets amazing highway mileage.

Turbo cars generally get really good gas mileage. That is why 18 wheelers use them. :) Slap on a small turbo that is whizzing the whole time keeps compression and efficiency up there.

Raven18940

Except I have a big turbo (for a stock car) and don't built boost til 2000 revs at least.

I can make a functional still with some basic plumbing parts. Who can provide a cheap car as a "lab rat".

yea i was mostly just kidding anyway, but i did not know that! i always thought the ptfb was related to running lean/knock/etc...


as luck would have it, i threw a CEL on the way home tonight for cat inefficiency... kookie... :rolleyes:

Yeah I am just going to have to keep getting gas like everyday. Because I know if I let my gas run low, and fill up like next week, its going to be so much more. Another plan is just to pay $20.00 dollars like I do everytime i go get gas, however not to let my tank run empty.

I am kicking myself for buying a parking pass for Temple. It used to be that the 50 a week for a train ticket ended up being more than a 300 parking pass and gas to get down. Now its 50 bucks just to fill up my car every week. Im gonna have to drop out of school this semester so i can work to save enough money to support paying for gas for next semester.

I think the Governor or Mayor of Atlanta (don’t remember which) threatened gas stations with a $15,000 fine. I think the price is back down to around 3 bucks.
