Can't let it go, eh?

Because with all the tragedy happening in the world today, its nice to talk about something small for a change. I've spent enough time "talking" about the problems in Egypt, Libya, Haiti, Japan, and wherever else problems creep up.

na.. its all good .... but im just sayin its the same thing... the unrest and the terrible vidoes you see on CNN every night is one of the main factors oil was up to $105 a barrel at one point a week or so ago..... thought some of you guys might jump on him for being insensitive so i saved everyone the trouble

im am letting it go just wondered where everyone draws the line?

Actually, I've said before (possibly on here?) that I can lump a few extra bucks at the pump if democracy is springing up naturally in the ME.

And... selfish American that I am... I do actually mean it

But... a revolution agaisnt a dictator that has an indirect impact on the gas prices willfully set by Opec is not exactly the same as the effect of a natural disaster...

The 70-80 range is what it costs to fill my Expedition here in Georgia. Fortunately, it was only 31 to fill the 10 gallon tank up in my CRZ

geezzuzz....we are almost there here in tx

90 ST · 03-13-2011, 12:23 AM

we're about $5/gal in canada right now.

Corona370z · 03-13-2011, 08:10 AM

As much as it sucks having to pay a lot for gas, it should've been know by everyone when they purchased the car. Someone told me, "if you can afford the car, you can afford the gas." I also use my Z as a DD.

370Z JT · 03-14-2011, 12:56 AM

18.5 gallons? The Z has a 19 gallon tank right? You waited as long as possible I see.

wilsonp · 03-14-2011, 01:01 AM

For the price of the Prius, you could have driven about 90,000 miles, assuming you only drive the Z in the city and get about 17MPG, going by the 4.189/gal.

I don't think gas prices justify a Prius as a DD very well, and I don't think it is a great snow car either.

Yep. I fill up once a month in my 370z.

True, but I do not want to put that much miles on my 370z. The current gas prices do justify driving a Prius. I get 50+mpg on that car. Plus I do not get paranoid about parking it anywhere like I am with my 370z. It's my grocery getter because I can't fit my bulk load of toilet paper and other household items into my Z. I fill up the Prius twice a month at $32 a tank. Lastly, I can't remember the last time I saw snow anywhere near Sacramento.

Days like this I am glad I still have my civic even if I did not I have my bike 54 mpg on regular!!! Also have my convertible now.

cdoxp800 · 03-14-2011, 07:52 AM

Ouch. Well my daily driver is a Chevy 2500Hd diesel. I get about 12mpg on it. It cost over close to a $100 to fill it up. That's 3x a week. Thank goodness it's a company truck.

I have the 2500HD petrol and get 10-12mpg, would have thought the diesel did a bit better.

Lots of city driving, and sitting still in traffic.
