JohnQ Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 What is everyone paying for gas? I just filled up for $2.95/gal here in Houston yesterday! :eek:
JohnQ Posted May 22, 2007 Author Posted May 22, 2007 I seen on MSN today that people are paying $4.99/gal somewhere in Cali!
Pete M Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Diesel is holdin' pretty steady. :D Regular gas runs from $3.20-3.50 around me.
JohnQ Posted May 22, 2007 Author Posted May 22, 2007 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 $640 monthly note for the Rubi anymore. Stupid gas prices. :mad:
Oizarod115 Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 just filled up at 3.06 tonight here in atlanta first time i've ever bought gas above 3$
DansGreyMj Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 its barely over 3 but ive been using my dads truck lately and diesel is at about 2.50
ChiefJosh Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Topped off this morning at 2.97 Drove by this afternoon- up to 3.02
DirtyComanche Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Sheesh, we're paying $1.26 a liter for 87ish. That's $4.76 for a US gal. Or $4.38 US. Don't bish. Edit - wait until a European chimes in...
Pete M Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 I might be trading my Rubicon in on this! :cry: 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
feerocknok Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 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.
JeepcoMJ Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 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?
speed_racer Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 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!
mjeff87 Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 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 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. Jeff
Pete M Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 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:
Kenosha Warrior Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 $1.08/L 28-30mpg driving 85-90km/h for a steady 100km trip. prettydecent mileage
mjeff87 Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 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 ) Jeff
87manche Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 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.
mjeff87 Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 provided the rear coils aren't broken like they always do. already replaced those on the current hatchback, unfortunately, and I think the passenger side one is about to take a crap again......
