    That "3.5 Liter Supercharged Hybrid" sounds great. Did you leave it there? I think it would be a fun joke to try.
    42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

    Nah, unfortunately the HYBRID decal was a little too big and would over door and cladding. What a funny badge to have for a car meet though. People would be like "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.......?"

    Speaking of $20 bills..... I am curious, what are the gas prices around the US. It cost me $80 to fill up the other day At around $3.50 per gallon for premium here.

    Don't use premium. You are throwing money away.

    The VX is tuned for regular unleaded. I used 85 octane on my roadtrip with no problems whatsoever.

    Regular unleaded prices ranged from $2.99 to $3.45 depending on the state and the location...ie, near a highway in California = expensive, but in small towns in Oregon = cheap. Pretty cheap in Utah, too...like around $3.10/gallon. Of course, I mean "cheap" relative to the CA prices. 3000 miles, average 18 MPG, average $3.25 gallon = I probably spent close to $550 on gas for that Moab trip!

    Getting out of Seattle for two weeks? PRICELESS.

    Pushing about $3.30 around here (DC/MD/VA) for 93oct. And unfortunately the VX is S/C'd and the Rex is T/C'd so I am stuck with the expensive stuff.
