Yeah, it was painful...but actually less than the prices in IL where I was visiting and less than where we filled up in IN on our way out.

On the drive back, I did get premium (with ethanol ) in Kalamazoo, MI for $3.17/gal at a Costco, though. Still...ouch. From my logbook, I was paying $2.59/gal last summer.

Ouch. That's nothing. I just filled up on the east coast and didn't realize that the price was $4.39 at Shell. LOL

Yeah it was around $4.50 last fill up for me here.
On a side note I can cruise and get MPGs in the 30s still.

price you pay for that V8 lol. At least you get cheaper gas, I will hit the teens too if I'm driving hard but my average mixed driving when my car was a DD was about 23-27 MPG.

Today I picked up my 5th Z from VA. Tomorrow will be the start to a very fun build. 08 350z touring 140k miles 6k cash. Always wanted a HR. Already got my longtube headers ordered. Think imma go XYZ res y pipe and leave the single isr exhaust. Sounds really good. Then have my boy Darren at Nisformance put a good tune on it

Thanks. That's pretty much the only color I looked for when I was searching for one.

I have not had any issues with transfer although I've only owned it for 2 years.

I guess Nissan figured it out. Or the original owner never wore jeans.

dunno, you would figure an $80k car wouldnt have that issue, but it did. it put it in my mind that i will never have light colored seats
