gas prices are going through the ROOF in LA. It's almost $4.30 average for premium...I've even seen prices high as $4.60 in some gas stations.
my lead foot + 10-12 mpg city/16-20mpg hwy doesn't really help either haha.
Its costing me almost $95 give or take a few bucks to fill up my 23 gallon tank! and it will take me anywhere from 240-280 miles per tank.

Here are some I took of the car when I was there last summer.
Car sits for almost a year and all I need is battery replacement and starts up fine everytime after that. Of course I give it a nice hard acceleration to clear out everything and runs like a champ. I wanted to bring it back to the US but too much legal stuff with customs and a lot of work to get it to comply with US specs. I am better off finding a Merkur over here, and modding it a little to bring it up to specs with my euro cosworth sierra.

still waiting for the pictures of the clk320 with the e55 engine swap. you know, i'm sure he has them seeing as anyone who put the time into that swap would take pictures.
oh wait, they're probably also very cofidential because he doesn't want anyone doing the same thing, right?

I just recently came back from parts of canada and california. I feel your pain. Canada gets raped even by the border and both places get an extra raping with credit/debit cards. I cringed when I chose debit and it asked to approve the extra debit fee on my card in california. I know it sucks for the businesses when you pump $5 debit but $50+? Give me a break. These retards where I live don't realize how good they got it when they complain about a $5 debit minimum at a gas station

Looks great man, needs a little polish only. It is a true classic. Got any power mods done?

My record is $61/tank (CLK350 '08) so far. I also, just filled up before I came back home - gas is $4.39 (Shell on Miramar, San Diego, CA)! Suddenly, I am happy that I am driving V8 and not V8... even though, I'd prefer one

Thanks, I haven't waxed it for a few years. Only thing done is exhaust, I would love to mod it more but I only get to drive it 1-2 months out of the year that I am over there and then sits until I go back for vacation.

What kind of MPG are you getting with your 350? Mine has been really good. Highway 27-30, mix 24-27.

What I do know is that V Power differs from country to country.
In Ireland its 95RON
In France its 98, 100 on most highway stations
In Switzerland we get the best, VPower 100 everywhere.
