Just wondering what kind of gas prices you guys are seeing. Here in STL things are pretty much normal at about $1.80 for 93. I was in Vegas last week and happened by a place selling it for $2.61. Man that sucks, sorry for you guys that have to pay so much.

Same here in San Diego, right around the $2.50 mark right now for Exxon Super 91 octane. It sucks, but if you can afford a Boxster that kind of thing shouldn't be a big deal either.

The folks with big SUVs are the ones with a real problem I guess where it takes a lot more to fill one up and the gas mileage is in the teens.

My '99 usually gets about 27 mpg if I do all freeway driving. About 24-25 if it is mixed with city driving. Not bad for a high performance car when you think about it. I didn't think it would be that good when I first got the car two years ago. I can live with that.
