super OUCH. The big thing here in SC is a few stations are going to pure gas (NO ethanol). It is a tad bit more expensive, but I do get a tad bit better mileage. I am extremely lucky. My house is 4.1 miles from the office. My daily driver is a 2000 triple black convertible that was bought in 2005 (my wife's idea) and if I drive it ONLY to work and back (use her car on the weekends for errands) I can fill up once per month. Last time I filled up the price was $3.99.9 per gallon for the high test. Mid-grade is 10 cents cheaper, but when I fill up only once per month, that would be a difference of approximately $1.50 - $1.60 for the tank...not worth it.

Mr. Ebo Sir,
I don't know how you would attach that to the top of your Corvette(s)!

It's getting back up there again here, too. $3.85 for mid-grade. I don't even look at the price of Premium anymore....just slide the card thru and fill-er-up. Too depressing if I know how much I just spent....

I do a lot of coasting too, but in the C5. If I take my foot off of the gas pedal in the C3, even on a pretty good hill, I slow down and almost stop.

I drive my little pickup with the V6 most of the time and get @ 20mpg in town. Gonna have to look for a go-cart if things get much worse.
