Default $ to Fill Your X300

How much did you fork out last time you filled your X300 from >15%?

Need some international feedback.

I usually fill from about a quarter tank, that costs $45 USD with 93 octane (highest available). If I was at the %15 mark, I'd imagine it's nearly $55 USD if I waited to the 15. Right now, my local gas station I use is at $3.39 a gallon for 93.

Right around $60 USD. They say fuel prices are going to keep climbing, that is not good. We (wife and I) are supposed to be picking up a 2010 Prius in about mid-January. Hate to do it--that is one ugly car (no offense to present Prius owners) and I do like a little uummppp under the hood, but I guess it will be for the best in the long run.------Scott

Well that makes me feel a little better;

Mine was $130 NZD (that's $101 USD/£65 GBP/€76 EUR).

I guess I should ask; are there are any regional differences in tank capacity? (also, is the XJ40 tank the same as the X300?)

I was expecting 25 or 27 gal capacity, ended up with barely over 21. Was there a change between 95 and 96/97 or maybe a larger tank with a LWB?

Two days ago, $3.399 gallon $63.90 with 17 miles left according to the computer. (18.8 gals) This is in SE Washington state. We typically pay 5% to 7% more than the rest of the country.

Just noticed asome of you guys are putting in greater than 95RON. Apparently, there is no advantage to this on the x300 cars. Stick to 95 RON and save some money.
