Default Fueled up my LS today

So I filled up my LS today for the first time since picking it up last Thursday.....it was completely on empty,so I filled up 77 Litres for $100.00 at $1.29 a litre for premium oil...so anyways I decided I was gonna call my cross border friends to see what it would cost me to drive 20 minutes and fill up in Blaine Washington.

Savings are huge...$3.25 a gallon for premium fuel...works out to 3.79 Litres in 1 gallon...so to get 77 Litres it would cost me $66 bucks US...thats with dollar being at almost par as it is now.

So the savings are huge....I think from now on I will be filling up once a week in the states...I can get a fill up and a bottle of Grey Goose for the same price as filling up here...sorry for the rant ...thought I would share the experience.

Manny, just remember, gasoline in the tank, Grey Goose in the glass!

Actually, you should find that you will have a cruising range of 500 miles with your LS, so you may only have to do that every 2 or 3 weeks.

I just filled up for $13 (95 octane).

So you might want to drive a little east and save even more

Manny, you'll save $16-20 dollars on a full tank south of the border. Pick up some groceries at half price while you're there and you end further ahead than doing it up here. I go down every ten days or so...

Why pay for Translink if we don't even use it? It'll be even worse if HST passes...
