yup, about 1.50-1.60 for midgrade (89?) sounds about right
yup, gettin gas about every 4-5 days, so about 15 bucks about 6X in a month... and my honda gets 300 mi to a tank when i dont use the a/c.
so you know that new car i got in march that had 14000mi on it. it now has 25000mi on it and im due for brakes (dont know if they were ever done before me) and tires all around (the front are just about trash and the back two dont match) as well as my third oil change. if i stay in atl after i graduate, i am so moving closer to the city. this commuter stuff really bites, with or without traffic.

so, as the bf puts it, i tend to "leave the light like a pro stock car driver"
im actully kinda  about the brakes, not only is my foot like lead on the gas pedal, it seems to be on the brake pedal as well. were talking power accelerations and power stops here. im getting better though, well sort of. on my last car, i was going through brakes and rotars every 6 mo.
the tires are wierd. so a week after i got my car, i noticed that they all didnt match, which i thought was strange on a car with as few miles as it had on it. weeellll, im a girl and ive tried to put air in my tires myself but i didnt do it right and i had to keep asking my bf to help me and he wouldnt so i rode around with them kinda low for a few weeks so now the edges of the front tires dont have too much tread left, but the middles are fine... please dont give me any crap about the girly thing, i feel bad enough as it is and im investing the help of another guy friend to show me how to air up properly...

We are paying about 1.479 at the lowest here right now. We just finished the drive home from NH, and along the way paid as much as 1.719 for 87 octane.
