Is my car running on 4 cylinders! :O

LOL not actually but this is what the range computer had to say on my latest drive after filling up with 91 octane. (4 cylinder type fuel economy!) I was very surprised to flip to the range computer and notice this number! -Usually I don't see anything past 550kms.


Then it got better....



And finally it settled around here! I was hoping it would break 750 but no luck!



I know Im in a C63 and I don't actually care about the fuel economy. I just thought this was hilarious considering Im typically only getting 300-400kms per tank!

Not on my block. The Chevron is usually trying to match the Shell price down the street. These two are the cheapest gas for probably a 20 mile radius that isn't crap, like Arco or Valero. And those are only marginally cheaper.
