Yeah. So that's 1.89 for 82 octane. The reason I'm using such shitty fuel is because I'm driving the Chebby. the 305 4-brl isn't a really bad V8 on fuel, but it's still not what I'd call fuel efficient. Can't wait to be a gas-mizer again with the TC.

If the prices go up any more I'd almost think it would be cheaper to buy some good octane booster at the local auto store and add that to the shitty reg gas!What do ya think?
