Went and bought gas today at the QT (quik trip) and had to pay $3.43 for premium so I'm pissed. I was having a good day up until that point. This is ridiculous and I can't stand it. Now, I'm gonna have to hold off on buying some things and doing some things cause I need to allocate more money for gas. Just thought I'd rant a little thanks

quickblade

before this stars into a rant about getting better mileage, the experience of driving the car is worth more to me than that extra couple hundred dollars a year youd save over driving a corolla

but yes i agree. there was an artice in the new motor trend about chevy creating a new facility with bacteria that create ethanol, basically that e85 would cost $1 a gallon by 2012

^^^^ that would also lower gas prices. by 2012 all cars should be e85 compatible.

A lot more than a couple hundred dollars a year... My GTO averages 17mpg, a corrolla say gets 30mpg... thats 13mpg better, 17 gallon tank = 221 more miles per fill up. Thats more like couple hundred dollars a month. So if my GTO gets 289 miles per tank, that Corolla is getting almost as many miles in one tank as I get in 2 tanks. My gas is $.30 more per gallon. You do the math but its way more than a couple hundred a year extra. Don't get me wrong, I drive a 408ci WS6 and a GTO... But I woudlnt mind a little 4 cylinder beater that has a much lower monthly payment and saves me at the very least $100/month in gas. I'll still have my WS6 in the garage. Damn gas prices have drove me nuts.

I drive less than 100 miles a day and I'm still filling up for 46-50bucks a week. Ridiculous.

heybro

GunshotZ28

so wait, gas prices are going to continue to get worse?

go ahead, buy a corolla, the money you spend for that car will out weigh the extra money you wouldve spent on gas, so youll break even or be in the hole.

I'm not used to filling up on $50 for an ls1 .

Ten years ago $50 would have filled up my 27 Gallon Van.

Yea like down .50 cents then up a dollar. They dont think we realize how they're creeping up on us. Oh how I miss complaining about $2.00 a gallon!

(One step forward and two steps back in the wallet)

I remember the first time I got gas in my first camaro, unleaded was 99 cents a gallon.

God i am going to date myself ..... my frist purchase of gas i believe was around .25 per gallon ............ personally i don't see the reason that the oil companys need to make 3 or 4 billion profit per quarter. can we all say greed ... lol
