that sucks *****. i would not drive

 

Do you guys think gas will ever be at 2.00 for premium. I'd be doin alot more burnouts if it did.







EDIT: American $2.00

 

bout 50 bucks a fillup here in so cal =/

 

but the average job in cal is probably paying a lot more than the average job in SC. so it works out to be the same. cost of living sucks X 3

 

not really..kinda all the same...course LA's more expensie to live in...second probably only to NY

 

I try not complain about gas prices, the oil industry pays my bills. My husband drives an F150, he is spending nearly $80 every fill up. He also drives like a total tool. My Jeep goes 250 miles on a tank of gas, I pay $45 for a fill up in it. The good thing about the Jeep though is I only drive it like twice a week since I got the Cobalt. I have even started considering selling it. I love the miles per gallon the Cobalt gets though. My husband nor myself have ever had a automobile that got better than 20 miles to the gallon, so needless to say the Cobalt has really impressed us on that note.

 

I'm paying $3.30 here in PA and when I move to NY it will be $3.50 or more, unless I start putting 89 in (hell noooo)

 

Most I ever paid was 56.CDN for 94 \ full tank Think it was something like 1.24$L

 

If you have an SC are you supposed to use premium? Or are you just using it for better performance?

 

91 or better for the SS/SC. I generally get 93 since 91 is harder to find.

 

It feels better with 94 and I get about 25 extra km a tank. Not really worth it but ah well. Atleast I look cool when I gas.

 

Ahh ok.

I know you are supposed to use the higher octane gasolines for the higher compressions in performance engines.

But I wasn't sure if a stock SC qualified for that mark


I've said in a couple posts im car shopping right now. With gas prices the way they are, I have to factor in monthly gas cost into what the payments would be. Just like you should factor in how much insurance is going to be before you make your purchase. (unless your rich )

 

i just got a beater truck since i was putting so many miles on the balt. here premium is 3.31 and regular is 3.18

i filled up the balt this week for 42 bucks, last night i filled up the beater with regular. 78 dollars. I never knew it had a 20 some gallon tank.

 

Right now I'm driving a 91 Jimmy. At the moment I only have to drive 10 minutes to work and back. But during school, my internship job is about a 45-50 minute drive (going about 55-60mph). Driving about 45miles one way, 3 times a week is going to kill me.

Plus its all beat to ****. I need a new car, lol. The 30mpg looks nice, although some other cars like the Civic even put that to shame. However, the sportiness and the fact I get GMS discount keeps swinging me back over here.

 

The car can sense what octane if has and retards timing accordingly. You are susceptibel to knocking if you use anything lower than 91 I believe.

 

$3.29 usually for Premium here in SE Michigan. I drive 120 miles a day usually so I spend almost $40 every 3 days.

 

gas WILL be $5/gal within the next 18 months.

 

Yeah, your legislators seem to be a bit too willing to up your gas taxes and increase the number of "special mixtures" of gas. Connecticut is right on your tail though; it cost me $37 the other week to fill my car up on regular.

 

As much as i know gas prices suck....please keep in mind that while it might be expensive. your still paying less than just about the whole planet.
Canada is sitting at about $4 US a gallon
Australia is sitting at about $4.50 US a gallon
and you dont even want to sniff what the brits are paying.


but ive had the gas argument a few times and it boils down to 1 thing.

and its the same thing i say whenever gas prices come up.

If gas was $10 a gallon tommorow. youd still pay it. your neighbour will still pay it.
Everyone will pay it. because you have no choice.

Just think of it as another reason to laugh at the 5.7ltr Dodge ram beside you on the freeway.

Or the idiot rollin his Escalade down the road on his 24 inch rims.


At least you made the right choice and chose a car with excellent fuel economy.

 

here here lol now i can sleep good tonight

 

Shesh, time to sell the Silverado. Costing me $80 or so to fill up and I do it at just under a 1/4 tank. Least I get ~17 in the city and ~22 highway.

 

That's the main reason I bought it. Whenever I start missing my S10, I remember paying $30+ for half a tank of gas- every week. No regrets here!

 

i remember when i started driving 4 years ago, gas was $1.19 a gallon

 

And that's the worst part about it, we would in fact pay it. We have no choice and they know it.

As far as what everyone else pays, 1) we buy in bulk 2)their taxes are higher and 3) It doesn't matter what other country's are paying because of 1 and 2 and they aren't the US.

 

we also typically drive more...unless you live in new york....hell in LA EVERYONE drives...course i think most people know that....were known as the most traffic congested city in the US to the best of my knowledge...except i suppose NY...but again...all 9 mill of us drive, only a few of them do
