   RW> 100 octane premium fuel, at just 36 cents/gal...What a deal!   
      
   Not that long ago (in 2002) when I bought my Monte Carlo brand new, I used to   
   pay an average of $16 to fill the tank.  It now costs me an average of $45.     
      
   That is our less expensive vehicle to fill.  The Durango costs around $75 on   
   average.     
      
   Even my HD costs an average of $11-$12 for the premium gas that it requires.
