All right, that's enough, if we can't keep this on topic, too bad...

It seems like we have it easy here in Tucson, gas is at $3.02 at the Chevron I go to. I usually drive around 300 miles a week, but I was recently transfered and now work about 5 miles away from home so hopefully that will help some. I average around 34 mpg, but it's all city driving. I've only been on the freeway twice since I've had my Yaris.

In Metro Vancouver (BC) we're paying around $1.30 Canadian per liter (there's 3.83 L in one US gallon). The Canadian dollar's around .90 USD now so that's damn close to $4.45 or so per gallon!!!
The recent Toronto post claiming $4.50 is not only inaccurate but particularly galling as they're paying, on average, 0.15 to 0.20 LESS per liter that we are in British Columbia. I traded my RX-8 in for my Yaris two weeks ago and couldn't be happier. I think Chino Charles' avatar says it all. The guys on this forum are MUCH smarter than the average bear.

200 miles a week for work, plus MAYBE 20 (tops!) on the weekend. Paying at the pump about $2.95-2.97. I experimented last week and drove the entire week going 60mph (for work) and just filled up this past Friday on my way home. $28.00 to fill it and I got 41 mpg. I know some of you get more but this was a first for me. I stayed at 60-65, started off slow at traffic lights, coasted in neutral etc. to see if I would get better mileage and I did. I averaged before 35-38.
I'll be riding the bike (motorcycle) soon, so I'll have to see which gets better mileage...the YARIS or the HD. I could ride a bicycle (got 38 of them) but it'll be a little to far for me to ride, plus on a hiway?! I know people need "trucks" for work, BUT this is getting really crazy! I don't know how they are going to do it....or anyone else as a matter of fact. Good FU^*^&ING LUCK! sambo42xa Southern, NH

As far as the frequency of pump-hitting, I am spending just as many trips to the pump as when I had my gas guzzling truck, but im just putting upwards of $30 bucks in the Yaris as opposed to $95 in the truck!

Good observations Chino and RedYaris...I dont know whether to laugh, cry, or just jump out the window....
 BTW gas is $3.20 or so for mid-grade here; I can't get plain regular anymore, almost always sold out at $3.10. |

I started taking the train the work. Instead of 20 miles I only drive 5 to the station. It was more to help avoid traffic and paying $20 a day to park then to save gas.
