LOL. We'll just have to see. I told you we had one as a rental once, it could barely make it up a steep hill lol. Literally. We had to turn the A/C off.

I never thought it would go up to even near $10 a few years ago either, I'm not being partisan here.
Never say never.

I get anywhere from 24 to 50+ MPG with mine, depending on the driving conditions.

Not with Diesel at $14/gallon. Remember, Diesel prices are rising even faster than gas prices, and it currently costs more than premium in most if not all states.

folks, no discussion of straits of hormuz or middle east. this is strictly about gas prices.

plenty of other forums to discuss geo politics and place blame, etc.

Still cheaper per mile, gas would have to exceed diesel by more than 2x for it to make any sense at all for me to drive anything other than my Jetta for cost reasons.

Yeah he'd get behind semis and cut his engine to catch the tail wind, he had a Honda if we are thinking of the same thing.

Fool.

Speaking of 50 mile per gallon look how good owners have it in China, Buick needs to bring this thing to America 1000 mile range. Better than 50mpg.

Yes, I agree....bring it over. But Buick said it originally was going to be a BEV, not a Plug-in-Hybrid.


I owned one of the early big 60s-vintage Buick Electras back when I was in college. It was a dream to drive, but clearly too big for today's driving-conditions where I live.
