$41.50+$30
got gas...decided to get 92 octane (the expensive one)...41 bucks, 16 gallons...and it wasn't even completely empty. oh my :) got an engine cleaner from napa as well, you just dump that in the gas tank before you fill it. supposed to increase gas mileage :) let's hope so 'cause that shit is EXPENSIVE.
picked up the chilton's from napa auto parts. so i can start figuring out how to take things apart and such. first thing i gotta do is fix the steering wheel...it's offset...which is a pain 'cause when i'm going straight ahead i can't see the tachometer. i think i might start on doing just basic body touchups. stop the rust and such. you'd be surprised how much people base price on the LOOK of a car. let the rust go and it'll just get worse. and hey, it's something simple i can do while i read up.
oh, and the car likes the premium (or supreme) gas :) acceleration is much quicker and it catches faster. before if you stomped the gas (on a shift) it would kinda get outa sync and the RPM would drop before it would catch and take off...not so much anymore.
