On the way to pick up my new front shocks this morning I filled up for $2.79 in Canton (Ohio).

 

The one down the street from my house is stil at $2.89. 5 miles south they are still at $2.99.

2.89

Hey Chico, is that AVG in the greater Harrisburg area, or just on your side of the Suzy-Q( also known as the squeaky banana) ? :hmm:

 

No, that was the lowest that night. Highest was 3.25-3.28 off major highways. Today's average price around here is 2.97.

3.31 at the ARCO on Miramar Road and I 15

 

l saw $3.25 in El Cajon on Sunday.

 

Diesel for $3.25 also on Sunday. (For my Passat TDI! - 37MPG - around town).

I just put 35 gallons in the Suburban at $2.69. Ninety five freaking dollars!

 

But I figured I'd better do it before prices go back up.

We had an 02 Passat with the 1.8T right after the new style came out. Loved that car, well my wife did since it was her DD. Fantastic little engine. I've been thinking of selling her Pilot, even though it's a great family truckster, and getting a TDI wagon. How is that engine maintenance wise etc.?

 

Oh, and $2.85/gal as of today.

My Passat is a 96 with 180K miles. I have owned it for the last 20K and have done nothing to the engine, except change the oil. Runs fine.

But the rest of the car has cost me a bunch of money. $1025 for the A/C compressor, $500+ for CV joints, new tires, etc, etc.

 

Not that the Comanche has been any cheaper. Think I have spent $3k on the Comanche in about the same time and only about 6000 miles use on the truck.

I forgot they offered diesel in that generation of Passat. VW has always had great diesels and the rest of the car is hit or miss like yours. Our '02 was awesome, never a problem. Sold it in late '05 when #2 came along.

yes and no. my car needs premium, definitely a difference in performance and mpg when i don't use it. riding around on fumes this a.m. so i bought premium at another place near work at $3.11 and the other place was $3.05. who knew it would drop 11 cents in 8 hours? :nuts: as long as it keeps dropping, i don't care that it cost me all of $1.20 more to fill up in the a.m.

Well paid 2.65 today took $45 to fill up jamminz.gif Been long time since I been able to fill up under $50. I hear they filling up at $2.39 in Detroit. Sweetness and crude oil is going for $64 a barrel which is a far cry from $110 back in May-June. :hmm:

Saw 2.53 but herd on the radio of a station offering it for 2.47!!

 

The MJ is about empty....I wonder, will $3.35 fuel mix OK with the 2.47 stuff??? :roll: :roll: :roll: :D
