4.29 or more per gallon in nor cal. 14.5 to 18mpg around san francisco. 24mpg for gentle freeway cruising, and i'm expecting a bit of an improvement when i change plugs

It is still so cheaaaaap in US comparing to EU. My average is EUR 1.5 (USD 2.13) per liter, that is something like EUR 90(USD 127) full tank.
Of course i use 98 or 100 octane, we have different octane numbers in Europe.

I drive around 10,000 miles a year so i figure the the 500 may cost me a couple hundred more than a v6 a year, not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

That's a lot for only driving weekends. If I only drove on weekends, I think the tank will last a month or more.

Would it not make more sense to put say $50 once a week?

yeah but I drive it pretty hard on the weekends and try to make up for the lost time..lol

Also gas is expensive here compared to the US. CAD dollar is usually on par or higher than american these days and I still pay about 80$ to fill up where as I see youve mentioned $53 for you, That is amazing dude, reminds me of my CIVIC days. lol

Same with Greece but I do love filling up on the higher octane
Have a Ford Sierra Cosworth in Greece and it loves the higher octane.
