3.20 here in montana. Alot of folks for some reason drive huge trucks and suv's here. I have to admit it is fun to go up to a pump and see what the last guy had to pay to fill up. Most of the time its like 50 and 60 dollars.

And then I put in 3 dollars worth of gas. I do that just for fun to see the expressions on the attendants faces.

Heh. I like to pull into a place with few cars fueling, swipe my card, dump 8 gallons or so in to fill up, grab my receipt, and hit the road before they get to half a tank.

ttufrosty · 05-22-2007, 04:44 PM

450 miles a week with prices now at about 3.02 a gallon. Not overly concerned. Make me feel better when I fill my Yaris up for 30.00 and all my neighbors are spending closer to 100.00 to fill up their trucks and SUV's.

blacksan · 05-22-2007, 04:45 PM

Well. I went out to get some groceries and fuel went down $.04 from yesterday to $3.05. I guess that is better then nothing.

Black Yaris · 05-22-2007, 04:55 PM

$3.32 here in Toledo for 87 octane.... keeps going up here... from the sounds of it we are paying California prices here in Toledo

Rico YaYa · 05-22-2007, 05:24 PM

About 300 miles/wk. Got 41.05 on first tank Gas is $2.43/gallon
I'd drive it pretty easy, don;t go above 70mph. Partly to conserve fuel, partly while I break it in.

PolrWht07 · 05-22-2007, 07:07 PM

3.49 today in Dayton, Ohio. I filled up yesterday at 2.95 :)

we also hit the $3.49 mark today in Toledo.... is this just an Ohio thing?... seems we have the highest prices on gas in the country right now

blacksan · 05-22-2007, 11:22 PM

Geez, when I first starting driving I could fill up my pickup for a little less then $10.00 and that was the good shit! When I left the service and went to school High Test made it too $1.00 a gallon and I thought the end was near. Now I am just pissed in general. I wonder if we where not blocked from drilling off the West Coast and the North Shore back in the 70's if things would be different today?

OtownYaris · 05-23-2007, 12:31 AM

Paid $3.06 a gallon today, filled up at 1/4 tank. Cost $28.74. Considering I only have to fill up every 12-14 days, I'm probably the only one NOT bitching about gas prices.
I work with a guy who drives a 2006 chevy colorado only to and from work and bitches about gas prices every day BUT he simply drives a truck for the look of it. He doesn't use the bed for anything cause he doesn't want to scratch it up and he never hauls anything. I've got more interior room in my Yaris than he does. He's getting like 17-18mpg, lol. Talk about practical...

Lillydot · 05-23-2007, 12:52 AM

gas is about $3.05 a gallon for 87. i drive about 250 miles a week. i only get about 28 miles a gallon 'cause i mostly only do city driving. sucks! i was hoping to at least get 30 mpg!

churp · 05-23-2007, 08:13 AM

Read on one of the internet news sites yesterday that Ca and the midwest may get up to $4 in the US. CA because of the special formulas for emissions and the Midwest because of some pipeline problem????

fearturtle44 · 05-23-2007, 09:55 AM

You will always have the trophy wives driving their huge SUVs with nobody else in the vehicle as they can afford to pay $100 a gallon. Then you have the guys compensating for small penises driving the huge trucks like the Titans. What is the need for these vehicles in the cities?

Oh well, still loving the Yaris and the 40mpg.

I happen to be one of the lucky few that get 40+ MPG out of my Yaris and my motorcycle does not do much better. For the first time in my life my car is on par with my motorcycle.

ChinoCharles · 05-23-2007, 11:27 AM

What kind of bike? I'm talking small displacement, no Hayabusa crap.

I'm sure there is a 250 out there that gets 60 MPG.

Well my motorcycle has basically the same power plant as my Yaris oddly enough. The perfect match for the Yaris would be either a Suzuki Bergman, or the Honda Silverwing IMO. I have ridden both of the "Super Scooters" and they are fantastic!!! As a matter of fact if I get enough OT in this summer I think I am going to sale my monster bike and get me a scooter.

I ride almost the entire year and these scooters both have good wind perfection and enough electrical capacity allowing me to run my heated clothing in the winter.

The old Kawasaki 305 was that bike. Top end was high enough not to worry about slow, redline about 10,500, and fuel efficiency great. Rode winter and summer in RI for a couple of years till the missus bought me a car
