I can't believe I was paying $1.39 for premuim exactly 2 years ago. I'm considering looking around for a beater. The beater takes a long time to have payback benefits after you figure in the vehicle cost, insurance, registration, etc........saying that, I drive a beater, but it primarily started b/c of keeping miles on the Camaro down, and for alternate transporation in rain/snow.......which then led to a track only car requiring a truck and trailer. You won't save money....but you will still feel good when filling up! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
