I heard it's good to switch brands every once in a while to burn off the additives and residues of the other brands of gas that can build up...

Is it just me or does anyone else miss the days of gas costing under $1 per gallon...

I broke the $50 mark a couple of days ago. $51 to be exact. My gas light had just lit up before I filled up. This was in the Seattle area.

Tank was 1/4 full. Cost $37 to fill up at $2.87/gallon with 93 octane.

Edit: Just dropped to $2.83/gallon.

filling up / 87 octane?

that would be the dumbest thing ever....that would call for the person to have to forfeit their IS.
