  I'm not sure what the taxes are, but here in WNY, 87 octane is going for
about $1.50/gallon. Stations on the reservation are charging about $1.25-
$1.30. (It was $1.17 a week or two ago.) I'm about 10 mins from the
reservation, so I've been filling up the Ram there (30 gallon tank,
9-12mpg) but I'm still not 100% sure about the "quality" of the gas, so
I've been sticking to Mobil stations for my Dak, just putting in $5 and
$10 at a time when I drive it. (I still have the MP computer installed,
so I'm using premium.) I'm hoping the weather will get a little warmer
so I can use my bike and get 40mpg!
