How about a 1991 Pontiac 6000 station wagon? If I put anything other than premium in it, it spits and sputters and shakes and wiggles like a crack baby!

I drive a 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T Hemi and a 1997 Dodge Dakota (V8). I can afford the vehicles and the gas because I work hard, I'm good at what I do and I won't accept chump-change wages from low budget, cheapskate employers if I can avoid it at all.

Life is Grand for those who resist the brainwashing.

We drive his and hers 2000 Chev Impala LSs, about 29 - 30 MPG highway. Thanks toe the Giant Florence tends to pay about $2.25 to $2.50 per gallon. Mine gets out of the garage so seldom I really don't give a tinker's dam what the price is. I put more in the lawn tractorr than in my car.

Today it as 3.34 a gal when I pass by the station. Or is that 1.14 a liter for our international friends.

I'm old enough to fondly remember filling by bone dry 63 beetle for less then $3.00. Worked at a station when gas wars would make it 19.9 a gal. But mostly it was around 29.9 a gal.
