I was talking to a customer today that bought a 2010 Avalanche, almost exactly like I want, just wrong color. He just went on and on and on about how much he loved the thing. Then he got to the gas. Scares me at 14mpg.

I've been getting around 21-22 mpg and I must run 93, so I'm getting screwed royally. And the area were I live/work seems to think we are some place special because they are 10 cents higher than any where else in the area.

I don't about him, but it's hard for me to turn it off and I only have 243 hp. And up here, I think it's closer to $3.20 for regular. Wooster is always higher than any where else around the area. Flockers.
