Gas price is trippin these days. stop the war!

Kenji 02-27-11 03:44 PM

yesterday I filled up my FD with 98RON, and it was €1.67 per litre,
which roughly translates into $8.69 per gallon.

Courtesy of the Dutch Government who raise 70% of the total price on taxes....

Buy a diesel run alternative oil. i be we get over $5 a gallon this year. Crude oil is on its way up again =[.

I don't know why I don't ride my bike to work now. I only live 4 miles from work. I used to ride 18 miles to work in Santa Monica... lol. I think it's because I was able to take the bike path to work and the "scenery" was nice along the beach. It would sometimes take me less time to get to Santa Monica on a bike than it did to drive.

Buying a 1997 Miata M edition to use as my DD since my FD keeps breaking down and gas is more expensive.

teddyrx2 03-04-11 04:52 AM

The arco i get gas from for my f150 is at $4.20

Sarah7 03-04-11 10:08 AM

I take my Civic to work, maybe once a week I'll take the FC. It should not ever cost $40 to fill up a Civic :icon_no2:

I drive probably 30 miles to get to work which really isn't too bad (especially since I get a short canyon on the way :lol:)

Damzil 03-04-11 11:22 AM

that's it... i'm getting a motorcycle

Rotary13B1 03-04-11 01:34 PM

Carbon?

I come home that way. I leave early enough in the AM that the freeway is generally faster. Funny thing is, both routes are almost exactly 20 miles; less than a tenth difference.

Two gallons a day, basically.

RotoricanNY 03-05-11 02:13 AM

this is my DD, my FB's gas mileage is way too good.

superhypered 03-05-11 04:48 PM

hmm.. the highest here atm in San Jose (or santa clara i think) was $4.09.. Maybe its a secret cleaning solution in the gas now.. haha

Well indeed I regret selling my Suzuki right when I got the fc gas prices rose...lol irony...now I'll be in the market again for a crotch rocket

RotoricanNY 03-06-11 11:51 PM

What are you guys seeing? I need to buy an old insight. I refuse to drive a Prius, lol.

If you buy from Arco, or really cheap gas, be prepared to change your gas filter (PITA) every 2-3 Years, as cheap gas typically has a lot of gunk in it, since it's not top shelf stuff from the refinery....

Just FYI !

magus2222 03-13-11 12:45 PM

motorcylces are awsome.....but the insurance on them isnt
fuck those assholes trying to charge me 3g a year for insurance, the pros do not outweigh the cons of gas

RotoricanNY 03-13-11 01:33 PM

^^^ mines no were near that high

AmviciousRav 03-13-11 02:07 PM

I jus paid 3.99 for 87 yesterday for the civic, i'm kinda glad the fc killed it self before the prices spiked haha

I was down in City of Industry a few days ago and 91 was around 4.30 per gallon...which is pretty crazy

it's pretty funny too the price of a barrel of crude has been going down the last few days but gas prices are still soaring...I should buy a gas station soon

I think a prius would smoke a insight and get good fuel economy at the same time

RotoricanNY 03-13-11 04:12 PM

^^ Prius 0-60mph is 12 seconds :lol:

DivinDriver 03-13-11 04:49 PM

^^ They'll actually go sixty?

Every time I see one it's running 10 under the spped limit, & creeping up on stop lights like they're scared to let it stop rolling.

starting line 03-13-11 06:08 PM

took me $57 to fill up my fc with 87. it was at like a quarter tank tho so i can only imagine when its at E.

RicerJ 03-13-11 07:34 PM

Filled my tank from almost empty last night for 56.75 from shell which was 3.89 a gal for 87

check this out, i live down the street from this gas station and since I have lived in this city it has always been ridiculously expensive. I don't know how they stay in business. All grades are above $5/gal now, I pass by frequently.
