By that logic, I'm getting the best mileage ever. I've used half a tank since April, and I know a lot of that was used up by a leaking primer pump and fuel line changes.

My 300D right now still has fuel from when it was probably last driven in 2001. I imagine it was about $1.25 back then in Eugene Oregon.

I wish we had Sam's Clubs here in WA. I liked them more than Costco back when I lived in So Cal.

Whine whine whine say the people of America. My fiance is in Spain right now and she says the average price for diesel where she is (converted to gallons) is around $5.25 a gallon. And gas is about 60-70 cents MORE per gallon. So I am not complaining at $3.05ish (what I paid yesterday)

In the Netherlands its over $7!

the price is not too bad when you think globally, but I fill my tank up TWICE A WEEK!!! that hurts the pocket big time!going on close to 125.00/week average...
at least in the suburban I can go a week and a half between fillups... of course putting in 44gallons hurts big time too... but not as bad due to the price drop of regular...
