Gas prices rising - Page 5 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'll make life easier for all of you. Find a friend or someone with big truck or SUV, and put a tank of gas in for them. The next time you stop at the pump to fill up the yaris, you'll be so happy you won't know what to do with yourself.

Last spike in gas a relative made fun of how small our new YARIS is and could fit it in the back of their EXPLORER . The twist was they were putting in over $80 a week and had to borrow money on many occasions from another relative whom they never paid back . Won't be long that person will be asking to borrow again . That same person also ran up their credit card on fillups and had to pay high penalties for late payments . Last time we seen that person we asked if they would ever buy a economy car and said no they don't feel safe enough in one like their S.U.V..

Just an up date, this morning @ 4:00am here in So Cal = $3.93 for regular.
So by the time I go home tonight I'll bet it jumps another 7 to 10 cents, it usually does.
Does anyone think this will continue for the next 2 to 3 months just in time for summer??
It seems that we are being conditioned, then after 2 to 3 more months of these prices, we'll be happy to see it go down to $3.50 a gallon and there it'll stay for awhile until some other BULLSHIT in the world goes down and start $$$$ increases all over again.
I think instead of giving countries like Egypt a BILLON dollars every year (for what??) I dunno

. We should take that BILLON and give each American family $250,000

(which would be cheaper in the overall longrun) then we could afford to pay for the gas!!

I guess I'm just tired of hearing about America always giving othe countries shitloads of your and my $$MONEY$$
when it could be benefitting us Americans even if iit might be in a small way.
America comes 1st.
OK I'm done (for the moment)

Amazing to see the big SUVs and trucks with only one person in vehicle. So they pay a vehicle for the 5% of the time where they might haul something and have multiple people. And these vehicles are also cruising at 5-10 mph above the speed limit.

I really think gas could be $50 a gallon and you would still folks with these vehicles. Must be nice to be rich :)

R2D2 · 03-07-2011, 11:21 AM

They're not giving Egypt OUR money-they are borrowing money to give Egypt. We just keep borrowing and borrowing to the tune of almost 14 trillion dollars we are now in debt as a nation. Scary, huh? It's like buying Christmas gifts on credit year after year until finally you're using credit cards to pay the interest on your credit cards.

According to an interview I saw with the highest ranking accountant in the US Gov't it would take EVERY household in the US giving the government 300,000 dollars to come out even.

Ever think about what will happen when our creditors say "No more"?

JBougie · 03-07-2011, 01:23 PM

I paid $3.60 in St. Paul, MN this weekend - and back home here in TN, it is only $3.29 .. this is still nuts. It's sad when I get 38mpg and still have to bitch about it taking $35 to fill it up. :/

landrym28 · 03-07-2011, 03:50 PM

We're paying $1.16 a litre for gas here, which apparently works out to be roughly $4.53/gallon.

I'll take that $3.29/gallon price any day.

zbouncer · 03-08-2011, 03:53 PM

Doesn't look like its going to get any better anytime soon!

Ya know I'm really glad I had the foresight to buy something smart and not DUMB for both myself and my wife.

I've got a 2008 and she has a 2009. Both are paid off in little over one year in the money we are saving on gas (saving even more now with gas going up).

I know gas is going up again, but I'm not really concerned.... let it rain!

auxmike · 03-08-2011, 08:22 PM

Gas goes up= Yari trade in value goes up!

I write this as I watch a 2011 Ford F150 commercial featuring the voice of Dennis Leary boasting 22mpg Hwy. Tiny print states that Mpg number is for the scrawny 6cyl 4X2!
Suckazzzzz....

We're past $4.00 / gallon in San Francisco. I forgot to take a picture this morning, for a minute there, when I looked at the pump, I thought I was back in Europe. :(

Nips · 03-08-2011, 09:44 PM

It sucks, in the UK its £1.29 ltr that's about $2 US

" I've got a 2008 and she has a 2009. Both are paid off in little over one year in the money we are saving on gas . "

. Wish more people would think that way . The money saved in gas could help boost the economy . You'd think people would've learned from the last spike and was very likely to occur again , but no

.

devinlamothe · 03-08-2011, 10:45 PM

What usually costs around $33 to fill up is now around $45... I was shocked today.

Mikeey01nzl · 03-08-2011, 11:04 PM

$2.15NZD per litre yesterday

(thats $1.59USD per litre or $6.01/US gallon ).

jambo101 · 03-09-2011, 03:32 AM

As i'm only familiar with Liters i was wondering how many gallons does an 08 Yaris sedan hold..

That's about the price we had 2 years ago (2009).

My last fill-up was 6,60$/gallon (1,24€/1,74$/litre). It's gone up by ~1,5% since then (in about a week).

The talk about people in larger cars having a bad time is especially true here. Some years ago, during the peak of the economic boom, (then) well-paid small-time tradesmen would buy slightly used BMW X5s and 7-series and S-class Mercs. Parking lots near building sites used to be filled with black luxury cars. Now many of them have lost their jobs and are finding it difficult to get rid of their Beemers and Mercs in favour or something more... suitable. The ones who have kept theirs have to cut back on repair and maintenance costs to buy fuel...
