When I was in high school in the 60's, I worked at a gas station. Gas was 28 cents back then. People never filled up. They would come in and ask for a couple dollars! Plus they got their oil, water, and air checked not to mention I cleaned their windshield! Now you would be lucky if a couple of dollars would buy a half gallon!
In North Georgia we are paying $3.65 for 10% and $3.85 for 100% gas. What is your area ripping you off for? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Attached image(s) |

When i lived in the US, cost of petrol did not even figure in my cost of living. It was to all intents and purposes free. This explained why there were all these POS land whale which di not miles, auto gearbox which ate more fuel, big heavy and uneconomical and nobody gave a crap.
In europe we have been hurting always for the cost of fuel, which is why I cannot understand why anybody buys a petrol car as a daily driver, a good diesel is economic, powerful and just makes more sense. If you want to see how really expensive fule is look here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-21...VAT-petrol.html Despite all of this Hybrids are no the answer, unless you use them to make an artificail reef somewhere... |
