Gas Prices?

I might be trading my Rubicon in on this! :cry:

 

I have a new house note, added 60 more miles per day, plus a new addition to the family coming in July.

 

I can't justify the 10 miles per gal and a $640 monthly note for the Rubi anymore. Stupid gas prices. :mad:

Screw dat. I'd rather grab a cheap 2.5L MJ. The savings from not having a monthly payment alone would pay for more gas than I could burn. :D

3.43, but we don't have self-serve. We only have full service stations!!!

So it's not too bad. MJ gets 24 mpg in the city and 22 mpg highway.

 

uh...check the math there, that makes no sense :nuts: higher city mileage than highway?

depends what setup he's running, my old X would do better in town than on the hwy...

 

Put $30 in a $3.25 a/g yesterday.. EEK!!!

 

Luckily my firebird, although only a 4.1L inline 6, gets double the MPG of a regular jeep!

Haaa....not my 2.5. Get's about 15-17 with a good stiff tailwind :oops:

 

That's why I love my Escort, even though it's ghey looking. Just turned 180K on it yesterday, and it still gets right around 40 mpg (even better on roadtrips).

 

It's about $3.05-$3.10 down here in the Richmond area. It gets cheaper the farther off I95 you drive.

I don't need impressive mpg as much as I need to smile every time I get into the drivers seat. :D I just don't think an Escort would do the same thing. Although, maybe if it were a stick... I imagine that'd be kinda fun. But then I'd totally destroy the fuel economy having all that fun. :brows:

I'm in the market for a second gen Escort wagon, stick, at the moment. That's how much I like them, and a wagon will let me haul even more Jeep crap in the back of it (if that's even possible :D )

don't hate on the scort wagon, those things are tanks, and will hold a surprising amount of weight in the back, provided the rear coils aren't broken like they always do.

 

the Honda has proven a worthwhile investment, and even though the 4 squirrels only make about 80 HP it's fun to drive through the twisties. Amazing how a 2K lb car will handle corners, even with $#!& tires.

already replaced those on the current hatchback, unfortunately, and I think the passenger side one is about to take a crap again......
