Here's a historical price chart in my area... Currently 94 octane is about $1.50/litre, which is almost $6/gal... what's funny is, 45 min drive down to the good old USA, saves us about $1.50/gal

Our area is the same. You can drive from DC down into virginia or Maryland and save $1 easy. I had to stop a few weeks ago in the rich part of DC and paid $5.29 for diesel. Put $20 in and drove home (25 miles) and filled up at $3.85 a gallon.

And i thought driving 50 miles round trip each day was alot for my last job from Dulles to Arlington. Now with new job, its 22 miles round trip and maybe 2 weeks before i have to fill up again. Yesterday was $4.02 premium at Costco.

This a real truck or do you have an auxiliary tank? My dually takes about $120-$130 to fill if empty now. Diesels $3.99 and premium is around $4.39-$4.49 around me in Chicago right now. Loving my doesel more and more every damn day. Lol 20+ mpg on the highway and power to get up and scoot decently plus I love my huge vehicles.

EDIT: Was bored so ran out to a station down the street to see what the going rate was. This is in Lago Patria, Italy.

Looks to be 28 cents more per liter (1.06 euro per gallon more=~$1.40/gallon more) for the equal grade diesels or 23 cents for the super (gasoline) on the fai da te (do it yourself) side. Guess you "got it good" in Germany haha. If you can consider that good![Stick Out Tongue](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

Speaking of fuel efficiency, I just went on a short trip yesterday, about 65 miles each way. At the end of the day 170 miles total, average 21mpg. Not too shabby at all.
My Honda Odyssey lucky to get 19mpg on the same trip.

I used to use Sunoco's 91 Octane when it was cheaper than everyone else's 93 Octane, but I haven't seen it less than many other 93 Octane prices for months.

Im also 31 and I remember in highschool not buying the 93 oct for 97cents thinking it was alot vs 67 cents for the 87oct lol and back then we had no corn addidtives in the gas either.
I just leased a new accord as a dd and killed it with the deal I got them down to.I got the SE with the leather and they wanted 1100 in fees and 2k down on top and I told them if you can do it for 250 a month with nothing down Ill sign right now.After going back and forth for about 15 min we came up with absolutely zero down and 250 a month plus the 6% tax MA has.
Love the car Iv put 320 miles on it so far and the tank is just past the halfway mark!!!

I got the SE special edition so go to any honda dealer that has em and see what they can do for you.Honda leases are unreal,no drop off fee,gap insurance included,1500 in damages alowed when returning(they said its 500 a panel if dented scratched etc)and 1500 worth is in the lease and for an extra 5 bucks a month you get tire warranty for a blow out of any brand tire up to 200 bucks.
also got the regular 12k a year bs for 36 months and my payout is 13k and will buy it at end and sell the car for 17-18k since these dont lose vallue at all.

Hmmm new ones are only $290 a month with nothing at signing. Maybe if I knock it down to 10k a year on mileage, probably get 2013 for $250 a month. Not bad sir. I will stop by Honda today.

No not saving money or we wouldn't be driving AMGs. Just saving miles on my car. I rack up way too many since moving to VA. Keep the AMG in the garage during the week. I spend $500-600 a month in gas

My same dealer has the new style base model for 290 a month but if you look in the small print it says 999 down + tax,title and reg fees that add up to about 1k
The manager came over to thank me and told me I got the car for 475 under invoice and what he paid for it,they marked it from almost 26k to 21k to make my deal work and said the only reason he did it was he had 100 new accords coming in and had like 50 left over from the older style in his other dealers
