2.59. wtf. and have you guys noticed that the oil company's earnings reports are at record highs. "blah blah, supply, blah blah, demand, blah blah." bulls**t! motherf**king price gouging is all it is. straight up highway robbery, period, while the government just sits back and lets it happen.

$2.67 here in the town. i might have to retire my z for a while and wake up the x-19 to counter the effect this price hike has had on my wallet.

$2.76 @ the 76 station.
B, fix your car.....that mileage is awful. My truck gets better mileage than that.
Anybody read the article in Motor Trend this month about gas prices? If not, then you should. Yes, prices are higher than we've seen. Yes, they've gone up a lot recently. Yes, there is price fixing involved. Yes, oil companies are making record profits. Keep in mind,.....it could be worse.

I never worked on a Z32, but it'll probably be easier from underneath the car if it's like most modern vehicles. I guess us older Z people get lucky by having the O2 out in the open. If your sensor hasn't been replaced before, spray it down with PB blaster and let it soak overnight. You might have to end up using a cheater bar for more leverage to break it free. Took me about 20 minutes to swap it on my 280zx, but for my friend's Sebring, it took maybe 45ish. Anyways, gas here in SD is about 2.83 for 91. Most expensive I've seen around town is 3.14 and I can't believe some people still fill up there when the station across the street is like 15 cents cheaper....

What are you talking about? That's what was posted at the 76 station up here a couple days ago and it's what I paid today. It wasn't me doubting you.
B-I don't think you can reach the O2 sensors from under the car with the tranny in. It's easiest to remove the passenger side O2 sensor after removing the battery. The driver side is easiest with the brake master cylinder out of the way.
