I'm not boosted or anything, is it really worth paying the extra money for gas to have boost? It costs me about $42 to fill from empty, give or take a few, right now we're at $3.55 for 87 in RI

I love when people say you think you have it bad, because they always think they have it the worse!!

So I will say it, " You think you have it bad, try our prices!!"

Prices now:






A few days prior to that:

yeah it is. And the top primium is running high $4.70 rnage. Not sure. I couldnt get my camera out in time when I saw it yesterday.

And since there are only two companies on Island, this is what everyone pays. I see alot of people post up local gas prices and its always BP. In the states they are always expensive. here on Island, everyone pays the crazy price.

Military does get a discount tho, but still over $4.04 a gallon!!!

Its pretty easy. I dont drive my car hard on the streets. If you dont go into boost your gas mileage wont change. You must drive your car insane to be getting around 21. Taking off from stop signs and lights and accelerating hard will kill your mileage.
I drive my car jsut normal, and almost always see around 26-27. And thats city driving, we dont have any highways here. Highway in the states, I was getting 28-29.

The HEADER shouldnt make any noticable difference. but the difference between 21mpg and 26-27 is pretty big so you HAVING fun is making a world of difference. You might not think you are beating on it alot, but that number is very low (21MPG).
