Gas prices rising - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

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.

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!

Yo! You got ripped off man, for $3.00 they should've given you a gallon!! lol...

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...

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

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!

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 .

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!!!

Talking to one of the trainers at the gymn this morning,as she drives an H2 Hummer i asked her what she thought of the rising gas prices, she replied "i just put $220 in that thing this morning and i'll probably have to fill it again next week"

Freedan · 02-25-2011, 08:52 AM

That's the only bright side when gas prices goes up. Laughing at all the SUV/Hummers/Truck owners.

It's easy to laugh at truck owners, but in my case it's a fact of life, I have to use my truck. None of my other Toyotas are able to do what my Tundra does, between towing my 14' open trailer with building materials, tractors, and even cars, to my 20'x8.5' enclosed trailer, that hauls my Celica racecar, nothing else will do it. At the current price here, it will cost me nearly $80 to fill my Tundra, and if I baby it I might get 20-22mpg empty, if I have to tow the enclosed trailer with a load, I'd be luck to get 13-15mpg. If my wife hadn't just found a new job after being laid off before Thanksgiving, I'd really be scrambling just fo keep fuel in my fleet!!

I'll just keep driving the FerrYari @ 40 plus miles per gallon and leave my V8 vehicles in the garage.
Just this morning I paid $3.57 for regular here in So Cal. Its just a $1.50 away from $5.00

Just an update from when purchasing gas in the morning and driving by the same gas station going home it went up to $3.67 (10cents more) in just 8 hours.
WTF?????
