No, it is not time to revolt. It is time to buy race gas since it is that much more less expensive.

the ECU does notice this right away though the full benefits make take a tank or two. I have found the majority of the increased performance is immediate.

Two places in santa monica and one in the valley and another in agoura.

$4.50-$550 depending on where you go.

Beer is about $40 a gallon at a bar, Evian is about $8 a gallon. Gas in the EU is aroud $5 and has been for years. Check your State sales tax, Fed taxes, and special state fuel formulas etc. In Montecito (Sta Barbara) last week, a Union had full service premium at $2.99 per.

On my trip back to Berkeley after Rim Sunday-


Bridgeport CA, on highway 395 between Lee Vining and Reno, only two gas stations.



premium, 91 octane at both stations, self-serve.....





$3.199 per gallon.


in the immortal words of Eric Cartman, "screw you guys, I'm going home"

I refused to pay that much, even just to grab a half tank before going over the pass, but I expect we'll see it here in civilization in a matter of weeks

Is Exxon/Mobil decent quality gas?

I wonder if 76 gas with Ethonal attitive is good the our turbo's? They phases out MTBE a while ago...

Exxon on Lincoln in Santa Moncia, has 92 for about $1.40 a gallon...

The Trick gas available at Canyon Gas on West Channel before you hit PCH has been there forever, and sells many grades and octanes..

All the high end Ferrari's and 911's go there since $5/Gal is nothing if you have a 130-250K car!!! hehe

Rumor is that this station is moving toward shutting down.

The Exxon on Cloverfield off the 10 fwy would be next closest...
