I commute about 130km every day (roughly 81 miles), and today I paid 97.2 cents a litre for gas (approximately $4.12 a gallon, according to my numbers, but that sounds wrong somehow?). That's for regular 87 octane, which I use in the Stratus. I'd never put that crap in my SVX, nor would I subject her to the rigors of the daily commute (bad struts and 4EAT). It cost me about $60CAD to fill the tank, and a tank lasts a week, mostly highway.
Incidentally, speaking of Hyundais (which we also sell at the Subie dealership I work at), I drove an 04 Elantra today. This particular one was a 5-gear; not too bad on acceleration for an econobox. Much better than the automatics, at any rate. It still sounded like poo though.
