Jazzmoose Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 well, this new gas situation is leading to a lot of special promotions - the other day I went into my local station and there was no price posted; the guy said "if you can guess the price you can have sex for free." So I guessed and he said, "sorry," and I left. I was driving by the place a few days later with my wife - I said "those guys are offering sex if you can guess the right price, but I think the whole contest is fixed." "Oh no, I don't think so," she said. "I won three times last week." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Makes you want to put a 500 gallon tank in your garage, doesn't it? I have. Better be adding a lot of stabilizer, or you're gonna have 500 gallons of varnish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Berger Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Remember all the "experts" that said we would never see gas prices south of $4.00 again??? Remember all the times in previous price spikes where they said it would go up $4.00, and it didn't??? Experts don't know shit most of the time. But they still get to call themselves experts. I saw $1.50 yesterday, it brought a tear to me eye. The experts also didn't expect that the world would enter its most severe economic downturn since the 1930s... Once the global economy recovers, energy prices will be high again. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Going down again, I filled up my tank yesterday in NJ. There's two refineries five miles from this pump, so the price is a bit lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel A Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) If I convert the gas price over here to $ per gallon, I've never paid less than $6.00 for the last six years. American cars are close to non-existent here, and lack of fuel economy compared to most European cars is one (but maybe not the only) reason.

Scott Dolan Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Oh wow, that’s awful! Even my 2007 Toyota Camry with a 268hp V6 got 28! I got it up as high as 34 on a trip to Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 My latest commuter car is a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime. It's a plug-in hybrid. I've been averaging over 68 mpg with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I loved my Civic but it was a lease so I traded it in for a used Nissan Leaf, and I'm very pleased with it. Even though the Civic had great mileage (around 38-40 mpg), I was still having to fill it every 10 days, at around $18-19 each time. And, with yet another oil change coming up, I decided it was time to leave gas engines behind (mostly; wife's car is an old fashioned ICE) and go electric. I can easily make my round trip commute of 34 miles without charging, and when I have to, I have free charging at work! And I'm surprised at the acceleration! I actually don't hate driving anymore (for now, anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taking a friend for drive in my Toyota Prius Prime while in electric mode and I got to a busy intersection with a stop sign. I said, "Watch this", and gunned it. We flew through that intersection. It's very fast off the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 The Prius has a hell of a lot more zip than one would expect. It doesn’t wow you all the way to 60mph, but in the 0-30 range it has some imoressive punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
