MPG and Gas Prices
Just filled up my 04 CLK55 yesterday and was a little surprised at the $50+ fill up. The $4.05 Super (in Houston) price surprised me but it will not deter my driving habits (5.4 V8 = therapy). I guess the question to you guys (just out of curiosity) is at what price do you consider changing your driving habits?
BTW when I drove the CLK from Dallas to Houston (steady 70mph) I averaged 24.1 MPG! I was pleasantly surprised. Around town I usually get around 16 or 17 MPG (per computer) or around 220 miles before my reserve light comes on.

'07 Carrera S, '31 A 5W hot rod, 4Runner. Sold CLK55
Costco is where i fill but I really don't check the prices either.
About the mileage, I get 18-20 around town and on my last Portland to Seattle run I saw 26.8 mpg, doing 10 over the limit, which made me pretty happy.
