Crilix Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Oh man, I've spent about ~$75 on gas this week and I'm driving a friggin' stock Civic. Mind you, I've been playing chauffeur to my bro and sis on top of driving 40mins one way to school on my own. Either way, does anyone remember back when it was like $0.35 a litre? Ah, those were the good days... Oh Smrf, post some pics of your ride dude. I did. -Cril Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was just driving age when the prices started to go insane from 35 to the insanity that is today.. you'd have been 10/11 http://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/emoticons/default_tongue.png but yeah i miss them times.. delivering pizza's was a GOLD MINE!!! I spent 20 bucks a week on gas (mind you I had a 3 cylinder subaru justy OH YEAH JUSTY BABY JUSTY!!!) and raked in like 400/week on tips alone. then theres gas allowance which wasnt much at 25 cents a delivery but again 3 cyl car, cheap gas.. it helped - i'd average about 30/week on gas allowance - then the 400/week wages.. man i did I ever "get by" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crilix Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Yeah, I was pretty young at that point too, but I remember always watching to see what the gas prices were as we drove by. It just kinda sucks that now I'm older and have my own vehicle the price is through the roof, y'know? -Cril Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest etruscan Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 ^^ get a scooter : D My gas bill is $20/month http://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/emoticons/default_bicycle.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crilix Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 What kinda MPG does your scooter get Steve? If I've done my calculations correctly, I think my Civic is getting ~35MPG. That's really freakin' good, but with the amount of driving I've been doing I'm still spending ~$70 a week on gas. -Cril Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepsiHomer Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 What you have in your civic cril? 1.6L? Steve is right though.. scooters are the way to go... too bad its a 15km drive every morning :S and there not all year transportation.. (well in Canada anyways http://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/emoticons/default_tongue.png) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest etruscan Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I think it works out to be about 80mpg or so, Chris. I have some mods that consume a bit more go juice than stock would, but yea, about that. And thats a 2 stroke. A 4 stoke would get almost double that. You sacrifice power of course, but, yeah. cheap on gas doesnt even come close to describing them. 15km commute ? yeah, thats a bit much to do every day on a scooter imo. mine is about 8-10, and it takes me around 15-20 mins depending on traffic, and in the winter it can be harsh. Any more than that would make me kinda sad. But really, for city commuting ? Scooter is the proverbial pwn. : D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indemnity Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Gas prices are bad and are going to get much worse in the next 5-10 years IMO. But for me, the bigger issue isn't gas prices, it's current cars and their place in the market for the next 5-10 years. I mean, US has had a big cultural shift to green over the past year and it's going to start carrying over into everything real soon, including cars. I won't be buying a new car for the next 5-10 years because I'll be stuck with a junker by comparison to new fuel standards and sources. As of right now I plan on only leasing my vehicles until I see one that will survive the new technologies in cars that will hit the market in the next 2-3 years, and eventually 7-9 years.

Crilix Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Pepsi - I think I have a 1.6L, though it may be a 1.5. My car is kinda strange, I can't figure out if it's a 1995 or a 1996, and the owners manual isn't very clear. I'm gunna have to look at that ID badge thing on the inside of the door to figure out what it is... -Cril Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
