Yesterday I paid $3.879 per gallon at Shell for V-Plus 93 octane in North Broward County,Florida which is cheaper then Palm Beach County,Florida since I live close to the borderline of both.I did notice that the pump stated it contains 10% ethanol in it so I wonder how that is going to affect my overall fuel economy.

At least I'm getting amused with the employees at the local gas stations... I'm not even paying at the pump anymore just to see their faces when I pay for gas. All of them go like "$45.00??? For that little car???"

MPG's have been 25.5 & 26.5, not OBC, and during Break In Period. Way better than the 12-13mpg's we were getting in our '01 Dodge Durango. We still own it, but not driving it much anymore.
