I remember last fall when I first got the Cobalt. I pulled into the gas station; on the other side of the pump was a Ford F250. The guy was already pumping gas when I arrived. I filled-up the car from 1/4 tank, put the cap back on, got my receipt, and got back in the car- and the F250 driver was STILL pumping gas!! I don't miss those days either...

Hell, my SS/SC costs me about 31-33 to fill up at 3.09 for premium. I was paying almost that to fill up my neon more often than this too. I can go the entire work week without filling up, before I had to put some in on day 4. This is driving about 50-60 miles a day BTW.

Gas is like 3.30-3.40 for premium here in the north bay. I would be happy paying 31 dollars.

Damn, this is a good forum. I swear if this was posted anywhere else, some jackass would cry about wasting a thread. BTW I thought gas was cheaper when you keep heading north with exceptions of major cities?

Gas in here in the western part of Illinois is at 3.29 for premium. I average about 30$ a week in gas but I have a gas allowance at work of 50$ a week. So I get to pocket the extra 20$.

Funny little gas station story. I was filling up my Cobalt the other day and I was talking with this lady who was filling up her explorer. She commented on how it must stink to have to use premium and I said "not as bad as filling up an SUV that gets 18mpg." I just smiled and she didn't say another word. My final total was 28$, hers was 50$.

Our Chevron 92 octane comes out to $4.73 per gallon CDN funds. ($1.28 per litre)

It feels like every time I fill up my wallet turns into an Onion...cause I start to cry.

Wow... we're @ 2.78 sometimes lower - I fill up once or twice a week at about 30-33 bucks a tank... You guys with the higher gas prices make me feel fortunate!

I was driving a trailblazer - I love owning a car again

hmmm i pay 120.00 CDN empty to full on my 85 Chevy K-20... at 0.567L yeah thats propane. yeah it lacks the tinyest bit of power, but being about to pull buddie's 1 tonne ford out of a mudding pit proves that i made the wiser choice to go from gas to propane.


the cobalt... 1.147L 50 some empty to full and thats the 91 octane stuff
