Lets see, i am paying now for 1 litre of gas (eur95) about € 1,45
So: € 1,45 = $ 1,65 -> 3.8 * 1,65 = $ 6,27 per gallon

For a full tank (26 gallons) i am paying 26*6,27 = 163,03 dollars
And i am doing on average 17/18MPG

Plus i am paying every month $ 158 road tax (i am not sure if you guys in the US are paying road tax or something?)

Nice truck! That takes a lot of determination to drive that over there I bet! And $163 for a tank of gas? wow. I just checked my last tank and I got 9 mpg, so that would kill me. In my part of the US the road tax is already included in the price of gas, which is currently $1.80 per gallon for premium 92 octane which I have to use for my supercharger. Is that price for regular grade?

That's a good price. Here in nj, for super it's around $2.65.

I am not having big plans for upgrading or so, the only thing is maybe the exhaust.
It could have a bit more V8 sound in it. But it has to be discrete, i don't wanna wake up my neighbors in the morning :)

@mark: Eur95 is regular grade over here (which has a octane of 95) It seems to me, that premium 92 octane is a bit too low for an high performance engine?

It's tuned for 91+. 92 is the best available to me. 87 is our regular, 89 is mid grade.

Well about the octane rating, i just found out there is actually a difference between Europe and US in terms of octane rating for gasoline.
US are using "AKI" Anti-Knock Index and Europe is using "RON" Research Octane Number.
(thanks to Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating

in short, US Premium 91 is similar to our regular grade EUR95
Maybe it is interesting to start a new topic about fuel's, additives, octane? hmm..
