97.00 close to E. I pay a car note for gas. LOL

Heres a nice trick.

Never let the tank go below half full. When you hit the pumps you wont feel as bad.

I know but it was a busy week. Now I just walk.......not.

I'm just glad I'm blessed enough to be able to afford it.

Filled it today, info center said 50 miles until empty.

Cost $70.00 @ Costco gas was $3.04pg for 92 octane.

Right after Katrina, I had a $93 fill-up. The real PIA is the pumps that are set to shut off at $50 no matter what. Then they have to reset the pump, swipe your card again, and complete the fill-up.

here it used to be $35 but now its 50 but now I am going to start my once a week top offs. it should be about $35

I was on empty the other day and went to $100.00. That is where the pump was set to shut off. It was full, but I usually try to top off. At $100.00 I didn't bother to top off. I think that I could have gotten about one more gallon in it though.

I usually put in about $80 to fill it up and that's for 87

 

[blindguy]

What about gas quality? I just got a 2000 with 43000 miles and was wondering if I will hurt things by using 87 or if I'll get better MPG by using 92? At 20 cents per gallon X 26 gallons, it's like an extra $5.20 every time I hit the pump!
The manual says 87, think it'll be ok to stick with that?

i usually have 1/2 a tank.i just throw in 20 to 25 bucks when i use my truck.i don't use my truck to go to work.4 bucks for the train compared to 24 for parking

The last time I filled up here in NorCal it was around $86-
So with these prices has anybody found out how many miles you get when the "low fuel" light comes on?
I have a '97 and dont have the milage center just the low fuel idiot light.

 

[mustangrfast88]

well here lately it has only been taking 60.00 bucks to fill us the big old school bus as the wife likes to call it

 

[tomseagrave]

$88.00

Just bought a '97, empty of course. Cost C$88.00 to filler up, next question will be how long will it last?

 

[tomseagrave]

Fill up time

Well, lasted a week, 357 Kms and cost $Cdn 70.00 to refill.

Cost me close to $60 here in Southern California. I offset the fill-ups by driving a sedan on a rotational basis.

My advice to potential Expy owners is to have an additional car. I am not complaining however as I still enjoy the behemoth the same way since day 1 (purchased new 6 yrs ago).
