It really depends on my diet at the time. At times, my gas has been as high as the roof, as evidenced by the height of the doona. A couple of times my gas was so high that my girlfriend hit the roof when playing 'dutch ovens'. But when not in bed, difficult to measure really. I would be conservative in saying no more than 3-4 metres.

I pay $1.80 to $1.90 USD for premium or "supreme" gas around here. The good ole 93 octane does wonders for my gas mileage. I'm getting 30-36 miles per gallon (when I want ) in my '92 grand prix. I'm using the SHELL formulated gas, it's made to improve your gas mileage.

It varies. At the moment it's about $NZ1.15 for Synergy 8000 (Mobil 98 Octane). That's the only petrol that ever goes in mine and Moondog's cars.

Do you get Shell Optimax (98RON) in NZ as well? A lot of local guys reckon that it's better in their ITRs, Skylines etc.

I have to put super-plus into my car. A liter costs between 1.15 - 1.20 Euros which equals about $1.35-1.40 USD per liter. (Regular unleaded is about 15 cents cheaper.) Multiply that by 3.8, and a gallon of super plus costs around $5.00 USD. To fill my tank it costs about 85 Euros, or close to $100.00 USD. I drive close to 35000kms (20000 miles) a year, so you can imagine how much I spend on gas each year.

I think it's funny when Americans and Canadians complain about "high" gas prices.
