Gas prices rising - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I paid $1.42.6 per litter last week here in Australia... That's the highest I have ever had to pay so far

This should help the resale value of the YARIS , but will likely put a pinch on the discounts for new or used YARIS . The 2008 YARIS we have only had a discount of $400 if I remember right . This was due to empty lots and people having preorded the YARIS during the last spike of gas prices . Think it was over $4 for 87 at that time .

My search for a '07-'08 Yaris has just intensified, filled the Rav up the other day cost nearly $40. Then my wife calls saying she put $35 in the Tundra and got like half a tank, she's out right now looking for gas under $3.30 a gallon, so she can fill it up all the way. We're paying $3.20 plus a gallon in a State where most people are luck to make $20,000 a year if they can get a job at all!!!

Driving the guzzler around looking for cheap gas??? An internet search would be more cost effective.

Around here they all go up simaltaneously staying within a cent per litre. But, according to our government watchdog there is no price fixing. No communication between brands. Just strange coincidence over and over and over, year after year.

I know that sounded like she was just out riding around, actually she was visiting her father, and was comparing prices on her way back to the house. And it really isn't a guzzler, it gets between 18-20mpg consistantly!

Here in California, our gas is "special" (just like our people), so that means our gas is formulated to meet extra emission standards. I remember when they first put in MTBE, just to phase it out in less than 10 years after finding out that it gets into ground water.

Betrivent · 02-24-2011, 02:35 PM

And I thought BC got shafted with highest prices in Canada.. We're over 120. But then I haven't fileld up for nearly a week and a half so I haven't paid any attention ;)

Bluevitz-rs · 02-24-2011, 03:06 PM

Yeah just saw today the price jumped up 4¢/L overnight. That works out to what, over 20¢ a gallon in the US? And our Canadian dollar is stronger right now too.

Gas prices here in southcentral Texas have gone up over 20¢ in less than a week. It was about $2.95/gal (US) a few days ago but last night jumped to $3.19/gal (US).

By the way, since we have representation on here from all over the globe, could folks kindly put the location and volume of measurement (liter, US gal, UK gal) along with the currency used? It tends to be a little less confusing that way!

Cheers! M2

Here in NJ gas is the same price its been all winter. About $2.93 a gallon for Sunoco which is not the cheapest you can find by any means.

Now we're doomed!

Spoke too soon. Gas is $3.12 a gallon this morning.

swidd · 02-24-2011, 07:03 PM

So now it will cost $0.10 per mile instead of $0.08 per mile to drive a Yaris!

matthewai · 02-24-2011, 07:15 PM

yeah were screwed

aca72 · 02-24-2011, 07:21 PM

Relax...

We got our Yaris.

cougar65 · 02-24-2011, 08:33 PM

In the bay area (califonia) its about $3.65 pretty lame...

MaddBaggins · 02-24-2011, 10:36 PM

I'm ok with rising prices now. After driving around my 11mpg Cruiser for years, the Yaris is freakin awesome.

Hershey · 02-25-2011, 12:22 AM

We refill both YARIS for less than $42 ($3.50 a gal.) when they're at around 1/2 a tank each . Can't wait for warmer weather , summer blend , and changeover to all season tires .

racerb · 02-25-2011, 07:58 AM

I filled up my '98 Rav4 on Tuesday, when gas was $3.15 a gallon, drove by the same station this morning (3 days later) and gas was $3.45 a gallon, all for 87 octane fuel. I live just outside of Wilmington NC, which is a major port city and has giant sea going tanker ships delivering fuel all the time. We are paying out the wazoo for unrest in the Middle East, when we don't even get that much fuel from these areas, it's like 10-15% and prices are still going up. These dirty politicians with their hands in the pockets of the big oil companies, have conspired to kick us in the butts all the way to the bank!!!
