Get a civic? Ha... I'll pay the extra money to have the power and sound of a V8, gas mileage dont bother me, and on the bike it usually takes 8.50 to fill up and lasts me over a week a dunno how many miles that is but its over 100, lol......

Like paying even $0.50 more per gallon to fill your 3 gallon tank is a big deal ?

I get about 35 on the bike, 35 in the probe (even with 217K miles), and about 17 in the truck.

93 octane in the Harley, but it doesn't matter because it gets like 40-42mpg city and 50mpg highway. I retuned the Camaro to run on 87 octane, because at 8.5mpg city and about the same if not worse highway, I can't afford 93 octane
