Welcome to the grind . Quite a big drop in the gas price since last month!: Regular is down 12.2c or -3.9%
Thanks for starting our thread, Gord. I am not even sure what our local gas prices are. I am not driving anywhere today ( but I did take a ride on the Giant ) but I have about 15 miles remaining so I will have fill up tomorrow. My BP Visa gives $.15/gallon off the credit price, but some of the BP stations are in " zones", so their prices are whatever the market will near. And the BP map shows me where all the stations are located, but for some reason they disabled the feature that showed the current pump price for 87 E10.
I filled up the Elantra today. A different BP station, in Naperville. 680.7 miles, fcd = 68.1 mpg. $3.049 per gallon, 10.362 gallons. Later on, I filled up both motorcycles at an Amoco very close to home. I figured my BP Visa card would work for the $.15 discount. It worked.

The tank is at 69.8, but the trip into work tomorrow morning on the Interstates will bring that down.

Over here, I think they call them pension plans, making them sound less crooked. I left the RZ with the dealer today for a defroster recall and free NACS to CCS1 adapter. The loaner NX350h (similar to RAV4 Hybrid) was nice. About 47 MPG after 40 miles round trip. Temp around 41F(5C). When I got the NX, it showed they had warmed it up for me, showing 2.2 MPG.
I hate when they do that. When I used the Toyota dealer for oil changes , I would give them specific instructions : Don't touch the tire pressure ! And don't leave it in ready mode.
Today it is 34 deg F in Naperville, 36 in Elk Grove. Wind WSW 6 33.1 miles, fcd = 63.6 mpg Edit : Trip home, stop at health club and grocery store. 32.0 miles. fcd = 73.4 mpg Tank is at 68.0 mpg.
