Drove from Austin, to San Antonio and then drove around in San Antonio for a bit. I filled up before I left Austin and then filled up when I got back. Total mileage was right at about 200 miles (according to GOOGLE Earth). The car has a new clutch I'm breaking in, so with that in mind, I didn't really "get on it" any. Only a few small "blips" of the throttle getting on and off the highway, but nothing crazy or anything. So anyhoo.... I filled up my car before I left and then when I got back. I can't remember if I put in 8.5 gallons or 9.5 gallons so I calculated 9... ( I think it was 8.5 though). Kept it in 6th gear as much as possibly (65-75 mph highway speed) and used the A/C for only about 50 miles on the Highway. It was cool to see the $13.50 total spent at the gas pump @ $1.35 a gallon! :)

p.s... posted on both boards for all you Viper freaks....

Are you gonna be out tomorrow or over the weekend? If the weather cooperates I'm down for checking out the new hoopty! Looks like 76˚ and partly cloudy tomorrow, maybe some showers Saturday. Lemme know!

Holler at me. I'll be playing Disk golf for the better part of the afternoon... but give me a call or something.

$1.35 a gallon?!? Are you serious? I'm paying $2.23 for 91 octane here in New York. I'm jealous.

Last night I was driving to a friends house and realized I wrote the price for Regular unleaded but I put in Supreme. So yea, Regular was about $.20 cheaper, but the Supreme I put in was closer to $1.55-ish. Still enough to make you jealous though! he he...
