Ohhh snap is that suppose to be traveling to the south :skurred:

Study the weather patterns man. What they're getting up there won't travel down here. The wind patterns on the eastern seaboard travel north then easy.

Funny how my gas post just got ignored. Lol.

Over the last couple days:
Washed.
Installed rear tow hook.
Got a parking space at school straight ahead from the parking structure entrance.

Today:
Straightened out the interior, got rid of the trash and unnecessary stuff.
Got some gorilla super glue and put my wink mirror on the windshield and put the visors back on.

All this trunk talk made me go straighten out the stuff in my trunk and take a picture haha so add that to the list. Cleaner than I thought, only thing I took out was a grocery bag with nine empty bottles of Vernors haha

Basic tool box sliding around, bmx helmet hanging on the little hook on the right side, factory jack and sunroof tool in the compartment on the right. 1qt of oil in the left pocket along with my front tow hook until install, then on the tray under that, a pair of plastic bmx pedals for when I go to parks that don't allow metal pedals, one bmx peg, a skate tool, and a random screwdriver. In the net I have my cruiser board with a bottle of hand cleaner, some febreeze, a random mallet and channel locks, and a rag. Snow scraper behind the net. Usually have a smaller jack with the tool box but I had my bike in there today so I took it out. Wouldn't mind getting a milk crate with bottles of fluid like oil and brake fluid and whatnot.


Grabbed a little pumpkin and got a little festive so I hung that from the tow hook.

Lol I was checking out those posts. I don't really notice/pay attention to the difference in gas mileage at different pumps.
400 a tank isn't bad, v6?
Used to go to a Marathon right next door to my work since I'm always in there buying munchies and it's usually cheap as hell but my boss said they've had water in the tank problems in the past.

Now I go to a Shell right by my house and since I'm in there all the time the owner is always giving me discounts and the occasional free bar.

Wouldn't bother me at all paying 10 cents more per gallon for better mileage, even if it's only a small increase, or for a better experience and peace at mind.
Say a gas station has gas for $3.75/gal and another has gas for $3.85/gal but your car runs better. You get 15 gallons and the difference between the stations would only be $1.50.

Lol. That's why I don't use Walmart gas. It sucks. Burns faster than any gas I've used before. I've been wanting to find out the car runs and how good my gas mileage is with BP, Shell, and Exxon. Shell seems to be working better than the others.

I found a Shell in my area for $3.67/gal. The gas at the BP up the street from me tho is $3.59/gal. Sure its an $0.08 difference but with Shell last fill up I got 430 miles out of a tank of gas. Compaired to the 380-390 miles I get from BP. So it might be a small difference in gas but the miles makes up for it. And I should start going to a gas station regularly. Lol. The owners at one are always friend and ask how my day is going. Not the usual "afternoon. Your total is..."

Plus there's a nice car wash next to it too. Lol. Their water is hard tho. Ugh. One thing I notice tho. And others might say I'm crazy. And it does take longer. But I get more gas. I've tried it. I pump with the least amount of force on the pump. That way I'm getting more gas and not just air bubbles.

And I'm going to clean out my trunk and car tomorrow too. Lol. I need to build a bracket to hold my low profile jack. Thing slides all over.

Today i poured $6.50 of fuel just to get me home so i can pour more tomorrow when the prices go down ... lol
Reason being : $1.72/liter for 95 premium.. :sad:

After hearing you guys talk about paying $3.67 - $3.85/gallon for fuel i decided to compare your prices to mine in australia.

Effectively i'm paying $6.51/gallon of fuel... :darryl:


Oh and on the topic of trunks.. I have my subwoofer, a 4 channel amp that is to be wired up soon, bottle of brake fluid, power steering fluid, auto tranny fluid (yet to use), my stanley tool box, wheel cleaner, headlight restoration kit, tire shine, meguiars quick detailer spray, two mf cloths and random screws/bolts/washers in the side tray .. :lawl:

LeAccord, the price we pay here is almost the same as what they pay in the US, however, ours is per Litre.

Right now, we are paying $1.21-$1.26/L.

What did I do to my Accord today......made arrangements for some improved lighting and made arrangements for a change of the front end handling.
