Filling up is getting out of hand!
Stopped for gas after work tonight and was shocked by the cost these days. Luckily these V6's are truly easy on the gas guzzling. Most of my driving is highway.

For those that have V6's, what kind of mileage are you getting?

What's the most it has cost you to fill up?

Those of you with the extra 2 cylinders and HP can chime in too.

About 98% of my driving is highway and I'm getting 22mpg. Cost me $53 to fill up my last tank. A tank is lasting me almost 2 weeks.

That's crazy man. We really do have it much better than a lot of places around the world. If gas got to the prices you are paying here... I hate to even think.

$1.49 per litre? Isn't that around ...... $6 per gallon? That's horrible. I'll pay $3.50/gallon all day.
