To see this:

You feel a little guilty after spending that $62 bucs, but best way to go about it, is to fill upbefore you call it a night. So when you start her up the next day, it feels goooood. You guys know what im talking about. At least I got 435miles out of my last tank.

Hello,

my dad paid 118€ yesterday to fill up the LS. That is more than 120$.

I was telling my buddies at work that we are lucky in the U.S. because in Europe it is double or more per equivalent gallon of gas. I am in South Carolina for 2 weeks and pay $3.09/gallon here.

I here you - it feels good for me also. I filled mine up yesterday - nothing beats a widebody full of gas

This past weekend we put 736 miles on the car. With a mix though mostly HWY, it came in at 25.7 MPG. Not bad. The sluggy LA and Valley traffic in So Cal just blows.

I planned out gas fills with Costco gas and it saved us some $$. Not a huge amount...maybe $20 for the two 2 fills.

It does feel good. My last fill up was $64 in my 99 LS, but I won't have to worry about it for a while. It's nice having a gas tank with such a long range.

Maybe it is off topic - Two weeks ago I found interesting page to collect all fuel and other cost of the car. My LS is here :

I really miss the gar needle going all the way up and displaying the correct amount. It's been over a year since my gas gauge needle broke and it only goes halfway up when I do a filup. Also, the dash lights used to go out in winter, but now that the weather is warm, they don't come on until after 20-30 minutes of driving it. I used to love my car, but these things are starting to be a turn off for me now

Seeing a Suburban, Escalade or Expedition suck down the gas, I'm quite pleased. Come to think of it, i haven't seen many Hummer's on the roads lately.
