With the extra $$$ going into the tank, is is making you think twice about spending cash on your car?

I know my gas bill has gone up and caused me to bad a few mod's I had planned.

Anyone else?

If we see premium at $5/gal then likely yes I'd have to slow my saving for mods, and divert some $ to gas $.

then again if it goes too high, then I might need to downsize to an A4, which in turn would then require more mods...

Nah.

daily driver. HAHAHAHAHA

That lasted about a week and not having the POW-WA, was killing me.

So I will suck it up and fork over the $$ for my happiness and drive the A4.

Jeep Wrangler on 37 inch tires.
S4 with K04s
Chevy 1 ton truck with 454cid motor
Even my motorcycle has 6 cyl and one carb per.

If you look at it from an analytical point of view versus Fox news and their stupid "Gas Gouging" stories it works out like this:

For example: I get 20 MPG and I drive 18,000 miles per year, so I consume 900 gallons of gas annually x current average rate of gas (2.90 per gallon <91 octane>) = $2,610 per year for gas. If I install a K04 and some other mods that bring my gas down to 14 MPG for example (not to sure on accuracy of K03 to K04) this increases my rate of consumption by 30% from 900 to 1285 gallons per year. The associated cost increase would be $720 annually, so considering it would cost me $60.00 more per month for a larger turbo, I might consider it depending on the type of deal I got. This is purely an example.

worst hwy mileage I have seen for a sustained period of time was 14mpg. 90mph, car fully loaded with top box attached and loaded, driving into a 30mph headwind.

225 miles on last tank of 93, I usually have about 2.5 to 3 gallons in the tank when it time to filler up.

What size injectors? I'm running 550cc Orange Tops, I beleive that the are Porsche 996 turbo injectors. If I pu$$y foot the throttle I can get nearly 300-315 out of the tank.

Course if I do, I need to find a beater!

Take Lucent to TownCenter and turn left (south). follow to Santa Fe and turn right. (north) go like block and turn left to the Conoco on the west side of SantaFe. The pump is near the car wash.

Dugans is only open from like 8:00-5:00 m-f and until noon on saturday.

Take Santa Fe north to first light past Belview and turn left. There is a gas station on the left. Go past that and make your first right. That street runs right into it. It doesnt look like a gas station. Go inside and pre pay. They have all sorts of fuels...airplane fuel like 114 oct but its leaded... dont use that or your cat and o2 sensors will hate you!!! Not Good. (not that I have done it)

Thats all you need for this side of town.

Also the Sinclar on the north east intersection of I-25 and Belview has 100ct as well usually like $6+

I've just been filling up wtih 100oct, price never fluctuates at $5.25/gallon.

Of course there is only one way to get that exhaust note, but it will be fast!

and you can't tell the wife that your "buddy" told you to tell her that, cause we have not yet met...after that sure

was partially motivated by rising fuel costs.

The other part is that it SUCKS driving 1hr each way.

The're off either wadsworth or Sheridan at Ralston.

better mileage than my truck so I'm happy.

were pretty impressive today @ bandimere!

I still get 20+ mpg. It just depends on how I drive. I telecommute so I don't drive for work. All my driving these days is for fun.

Hap, wit dakine mods that will not stop not from Evahboost, Maguire

What keeps me from modding too much is warranty. I have 2500 left under the 50K, then I have the Audi CPO warranty to 100K.

Except I find myself going up and down finacially from other things in life. Oh well, Only thing I wish I could afford was 100Oct every fill up!!
