No one wants to play

[redhotrod]

I finally got my car put together, take it up to the gas station for some ultra 94, $1.54 gallon now, and All I see is 2 newer stangs fuelin up. I'm like, hurry pump, hurry,
The one guy looks at me while walking out of the station, and is like, nice regal, I'm like bring it on! then he fires his up and its a puny stock 6, forget that.
The other one is a blue GT 4.6, a couple of hi school kids, but they didn't look interested in goin for a run. so I go inside to pay for petrol and The kid behind the counter is like, whoa, a gn.lol, I was suprized he knew, he was a younger hi school kid, he said he loves his montes though, I was like ok
Then I get ready to leave, this guy pulls up in a newer ranger, and is like, wow nice car, whats it got under the hood. Lol, I laugh and say, just a V6, as I roll on out and light em up!

Yeah, I just paid $1.86 for Ultra yesterday. Thought I'd be a nice guy and fill my dad's Vette up with the good stuff. Holy crap, I didn't even see the price. Shoulda put 91 in it - it wouldn't know the difference anyway.

I really can't get anyone to play around here unless I'm driving my Century (C&D calls the 175HP 3.1 V6 "merely adequate", but it can lay waste to most ricers). I think they lay low when the GN is prowling around. I drive my brother's TA around, though, and everyone wants a piece of you - tailgating, trying to get around you, revving at you. It's really interesting how people behave around other cars. I don't think many people know what the GN is and figure they'd better be safe then sorry. I get a lot of lookers but no takers.

Sunoco sells it at all their stations - and a 100 octane GT variety at select stations. I'm not sure if they're on the left coast, though.

There's a Sunoco station accross the river in New Albany, Indiana. When it first opened, they carried the 94. Now they only have 93. Dunno why. Wish it were different.

 

[scojack_2001]

Theres a Sunoco near me and the 94 is going for $1.77 a gallon, I think. I run the 87 in my Regal. You guys out to be glad you have EFI. My regal's v8 has a 750 q-jet. 1 tank of gas equals three days. This is killing me. I really want a GN for the fuel economy, among other things.

The Sunoco by my house sells 110 octane Turbo Blue for a mere $3.69 (I think) a gallon. I filled up my TTA's tank yesterday for $40.
