    Welcome to bring a tundra! Lol

    Same here, prices on the west coast is no joke. 22 gallon can cost $70 bucks. At half I down around $40-$50.

    I had never even heard of 85 octane until I joined this forum, now there is an 83 octane. I need to travel more.

    I put 35 gallons in mine two days ago after driving over 75 miles after the light came on. It may have been a little more but the put kicked off at 78.00. I guess that is the max they allow. But the guage showed the tank full after the fill up so it was close.

    I didn't mean 83 octane. Meant 87. Didn't notice my mistake till you quoted me. Corrected now.

    Use the tripometer to track your actual miles for the tank vs. trusting the fancy gauges

    Yea pretty much anytime I'm under a half I get fuel when it's next convenient and/or come across a good price vs. running it all the way down then having to scramble before having to be somewhere on time
