While it would be nice to have fewer visibility-obstructing-vehicles on the road, that would also mean that you and I would be paying $4/gallon, need I remind you.

 

so the price of 87 unleaded here in toyota land is $3.04 ish.

it so pains me, and hurts me that my Miata only does about 20mpg.

 

Your Miata? Didn't know you had one. Which year/gen.?

And maybe yours is turbo to get such low mpg.

My new one gets about 28mpg if cruising!

 

$3.04 oh my I thought I had it bad at $2.69-$2.79 for 87.

 

i've got a...2000 model...i've got a 10-11 gallon tank with no indicator to tell me when it's alarmingly empty...and so far the mpg hasn't been great at all.

 

Wow, didn't realize cars in the past 10 years came without fuel indicators...

 

it has an indicator...just no warning light. -. -

my manual just says "fill up whenever you see it around quarter tank left"

 

I got 93 oct. gas Monday at 2.65.

Please tell me it didn't go up a dollar in two days!!

 

It is already $2.95 for super in Long Island NY It will be one costly summer at the pump.

 

today i put in 87 octane for $3.079

$25 got me 8 gallons and some sprinkles.

 

These oil companies drive me nuts.

I want a bio diesel car damn it! I don't care if it smells like McDonald's french fries going down the road either. lol

 

I filled up at a bp station today and the three grades were $2.42/$2.52/$2.62. The next station up the street was $2.55 for regular unleaded.

 

You can make it less costly by not driving as much. Instead of driving halfway across the country for vacation (assuming that's what you do ), just go out to the beach locally at Long Island. ( You'll probably save your car from some paint chips and glass damage on the Interstates as well).

If enough people do this, demand will drop significantly, and so will prices. We saw that last fall and winter....with a massive drop.

 

welcome to gas prices in the rest of the world

 

At this rate, I think we'll see more mini cars that are so commonly driven in Japan.

I dunno the date on this one:
