Official bitch about gas price thread
Can I make an "official" thread?
Anyway, here's the topic: How much do you drive each week, what mileage do typically get, how much is the price currently where you are, and how high would it have to get for you to radically change how or how much you drive? I drive about 400 miles a week, and gas is about 3.40 here and now in southern Indiana. |

You work for Mobil don't you?
I think I paid like 3.23 for unleaded at the local Chevron. I put high end unleaded in mine. I could probably save about .09 but 'eh it's a nice station.

I drive about 300 miles per week and gas has been around $3.40/gallon for a few months now. I am averaging about 48.5 miles per gallon and have already made radical changes to the way I drive, which is why I am called a hypermiler.

I avg 50 miles a week.
I'm still on my first tank looks like I'm expecting 40 mpg. I ride my bicycle to work and run errands every chance I get, it's win-win, save gas and exercise. 2.99 / gallon locally... I've never paid over $3 in my life but I think it's gonna happen next fill-up. |

I conserve gas in other ways . I don't cut my grass any more . I fish from the shore instead of a boat . Consolidate errands . Use other peeps gas . I sold my tour bus . I take more than 1 girl on dates now . Take trash to dump myself . Drag my deer out of the woods instead of using 4 wheeler . Just to name a few .

About 320mi/week. Last tank was $2.97 a gallon.
Since my new job, which is further away, I've been getting better milleage (38.5mpg) because most of it is highway. |

Try spending $ 4.50 a gallon, that what it works out to here. I drive in 5th gear doing 35mph.

Surprisingly, we pay more or less the same as in the US for gas, prices for my last tank about a week ago calculates up to $3.20 per gallon

Honestly, whatever gas costs, we all are going to pay less than most of the population to drive. Just be glad you're not in Europe where it IS $7 per gallon

Maybe if it was that high then there wouldn't be so many SUV's, a plus

Who said Yaris was slow?
|
$4.40 per gallon here....
That is way the Yariss are so popular and 90% of the SUV's are diesels. |
