ndv Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 What you just said and the multi choice fuel grades you have in your state is why I am trying to figure out why offer so many different types. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4M* Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) If anyone can go to E-85, or mixed, do it. Still better than 93. Here is an example: In depth: Edited July 22 by T4M* 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's something you want at 260+ mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T4M* Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Can you afford 4 car payments at once? Exotic parts are no joke. Just the rubber already dropping bricks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 50k to change the tires on a Bugatti. But you're right. Most people do not ask themselves this question, they just see they have the money to buy, and they are right. But they do not have the extra income to own. This is why the market is saturated with so many lambos and rarris on dupont. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4M* Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Correct. Even in general, people buying normal cars don't know what they are getting themselves into. I am a victim of this and I fixed it by going to college to get a masters degree. Newer modern cars have problems and from my point of view, less is better. Labor work very expensive nowadays. Not everyone can get their hands dirty, but people need to know that when buying a car, you need a mechanic along with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My volvo, I didn't know half the things I know now about the car so I paid a third generation volvo mechanic to get everything up amd running properly. Unfortunately, I paid today's market value on parts and labor, but would have never known some.part on the car were completely incorrect for the model year. Would've just kept throwing money chasing ghosts learning the hard way. Now I know, so I am beginning to work on it myself. The mdx, is a different story, I take it to the dealer with an open pocketbook. Get everything under the sun done on it they recommend. The only upside to this is a piece of mind I know it will be reliable, as well as it runs like a top as it should considering since ownership all its seen was a dealer, I am very strict with the vehicle. I even get it inspected at the dealer just for added proof how strict I am with this one. If I ever sell it, and you see the listing FIRM, you know why. But one car accident can total it out and it was all for nothing for the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklesndimes Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 it cost me just over 20 to fill up today at that 2.89/g spot...but i already had a quarter tank in it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauler5150 Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Here is between $1.57 to $2.05 a litre over the past month. How they can justify 25% overnight price hikes not being a criminal act is beyond Me. I shall not complain otherwise given what we pay is nothing compared to Europe from My understanding. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your ride a gas hog ? no man like the van is as economical as it get you'll never attempt to speed and I don't know why anyone would ever buy a car when they could have a van. Giving you know what sort of cars I have experience with saying this obviously means a lot more than coming for someone who is yet to experience the pinnacle of automotive engineering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
