2.0T Gas, waiting for the APR S3 conversion kit to be installed into it ;)

Ugh. No offense, nice ride but you're gonna get tired of that premium gas every time. Can't wait to get rid of my 2.0T.

Not a big deal, all 3 of my cars require premium gas so I guess i am used to it.

My Saab and that Audi both get around 31mpg on the highway...

My STi... well that is another story all together...

My truck is a Diesel so I am used to high prices with it as well.

It comes with the territory if you want performance you generally have to pay a little bit more at the pump.
 
Well hell in that case, just congrats. I don't know why but it bugs the shit out of me and it's not anywhere near as bad as where it used to be granted but I'm ready for some cheap fill ups. :lol

This will probably put me in hipster-gaf but I have been listening to The Strokes since I was in college. I thought about it earlier today. I saw them in concert 7 years ago! Getting old rules! [/sarcasm]. I hope I can stay up late enough to watch them online at Coachella lol.
