Do you have a pic of TTS? Was it stock? If not what have you done to it? Sorry, I like TTS. My friend used to have TTS, but exchanged it to A5. It was a sweet ride

You realise that there are a lot of places where the price is similar to this right? Yet you American's are the one's that complain of 'expensive' petrol prices?
Another one - $2.07 NZD per LITRE - or about $9.1 per gallon (am I using the right conversion here lol? 4.4L/G? Edit: Why are UK and US gallon's different?!). (And the NZD - USD is [very roughly] .75 NZD/USD IIRC) Yes, it does suck!

I don't have any pictures of my TTS anymore. :< They were crappy pictures off a phone. Lol Its a 07' White TTS. Stock. I didn't have enough money to do any fancy mods to it. Sold the TTS since I couldn't pay for the insurance nor the gas anymore. Lol Then I bought myself a Yaris (slightly regret it). I too also really loved my TTS but damn my schooling. Lol Last edited by Giccin; 03-04-2011 at 12:04 AM. Reason: Typed the year of the audi wrong. Its 07' not 08. :) |

My friends keep telling me Cheveron lasts longer for some reason. Or stretches your mpg. Then again, how much octane/gas you waste also determines how angry you drive.

![]() I apologize, I didn't realise you weren't American either. I assumed the CA at the end of your location meant California. I was obviously wrong Though it still applies that the American's shouldn't be complaining about their petrol prices!!

I prefer Chevron myself.
Unfortunately my car has a higher compression ratio and does require 91 octane, right from the manual (and printed on the side of the gas door).

It may have come off a bit aggressive against the Americans, but I'm with you some what. The price difference between Canada and the States is still quite large, I pay about a dollar more per gallon for regular 87 octane than they pay for Premium 91+ octane. And they bitch "The prices are so damn high!". I constantly wonder how happy I'd be if I pulled up to the pump and it said $0.89 / Litre ($3.37 / gal) |

On my truck, I get more mileage when I use Shell compared to Chevron. All those fuel additives detergents (Techron) seems like a bunch of marketing b/s to me.

that may be true. I really don't care about the additives (my camry motor will drink anything)I really only go to chevron cause their facilities are generally a lot cleaner and better taken care of compared to say your local gas n go or whatever.

The 05+ Tacomas "recommend" premium but I've put 87 Arco water and noticed the difference. Now that the prices are rising, I don't really mind which station I use.
