Welcome to California... Most places it's about $4.30 right now, for premium, but there are certain gas stations in high demand areas that are $5.00 or more.

I like the looks of it too.....except for the tail. Unless it houses something crucial for the electrical parts, it doesn't look too difficult to mount something like an '03 6R tail on there.

U lot have it lucky over in the states if I'm right a gal is about 3-4 liters well over here it's £1.36 a litre so that makes it about £5.36 a gal and we get $1.4 to the pound so that makes it loads cheaper there than here
