Why are you buying premium?
I've noticed that I get better gas mileage in my car with premium. It's an extra $2.00 that makes me happy inside.

I want a solar powered vehicle. Alternatively, I would like a vehicle that runs off of the positive energy that I emit on a daily basis.

MPG doesn't really matter cost per gallon CPG is actually the better number to look at.

Man, how are you guys getting such good gas mileage? I've got about 1000 miles logged in my GPS so far, and it's showing 24.6mpg. Usually I notice that the GPS is 1mpg less than what it really is. I don't think I've ever gone over 30mpg on my car.

You know what, it could be the fact that when I'm on my 80 mile drives from UCF to home, traffic will randomly go from about 70 to 10 about 10-20 times.

I've modified my driving habits. I filled up on Monday night and it was $3.85 for premium out here. I don't drive my car that much any more. I basically drive it on weekends and maybe 2 or 3 nights during the week going somewhere local.
