An interesting view of things. Thanks Stan.
I guess I will be filling up in Johnson County (I live on the Tarrant/Johnson border) next time I need gas; it's a lighter shade of yellow than Tarrant!
Although, there isn't much at all in Johnson other than ranches and gas stations!

Interesting map. God it must have taken ages to do that. I live near Palm Beach and yeah prices seem to concur with regular. I pay 3.15 for premium at Mobile 1 (gotta support McLaren team right?) and damn I floor my car to 11mpg constantly. Think I ought to drive slower from now on.

wrong. 270hp 4 Cylinder K04 Turbo at 4500rpm 
how many MPG do you get? 5? must be hell for you these days. |
Oh my bad.. a 270bhp 4 cylinder.
My 480bhp 5.7l V8 returned an average of 12.0 mpg after a 150 mile thrashing through the woods.. speeds ranged into the 160mph range - with most of time being spent in the 5000 to 6000rpm range.
I am guessing 4 cylinder turbos are not the best powerplants out there

6.0 liter twin turbo'd pushrod V8's are the best powerplants; even with worse economy

Give a thought for us Brits, you are at just over $3.30 a GALLON,
We're at £1 a litre.
A gallon would cost us £3.70.... Thats way over $5

even among the people who love the Vector W8; they believe so much false information that was published about it... just look at what foxfour was trying to tell me in the other thread...
It's interesting; but I can't be beaten into submission on anything but its style... i'll win every other "battle" lol
