How many miles you have on the STI now?

Close to 33k. I only use on weekends, rarely on weekdays. Keep in mind that I live in Cumming now, so whenever I go to Marietta or Kennesaw its about 1 hour drive.
Like when I used to work on exit 14 to exit 6 on 400 its about 25 miles. I live in exit 13 and from the exit its exactly 10 miles to my house.
I dont complain cuz cars are made to be driven so I dont care how much miles I put in it.
By summer gas will cost $4 for sure. I'll be driving my little bike since it doesnt spend a lot of gas. lol

Everything fairly close here, so it doesn't take more than 10 miles to go anywhere lol. I plan on getting a dirt bike or scooter (yes an actual scooter) to get to school and such though.

It won't be long before we see $4 a gallon. I know I drive the wife's car before I take the Evo. It's hard to stay out of boost. The gas seem to magically disappear.

Ya'll need to kiss my west coast ass! Its already up to 4.05 here for premium... I've been going to Costco for gas though as it was 3.70 for premium. They also use Quicktrip gas which is supposed to be a top tier rated gas.

The demand from China and India needs to hurry and decrease so the price will drop again!!!

Andrew told me that QuickTrip gas was terrible. I had a tank of it when I went to get dynoed.

QuickTrip gas IS terrible. They get the leftover gas from everyone else, why do you think it is so cheap. Go to BP or Shell if you have the option to.

Thats just what I've read. I used to use QT all the time in GA, but I'm actually getting better gas mileage (40+ miles more a tank) using Costco gas than any other gas around. Also I had a small misfire at high RPM's and I don't get it anymore.
