GAS PRICE SURVEY
I got a little 2001 4 cyl nissan frontier I have been driving for the past 3 weeks. I was paying 240 for the F-150 montly. The nissan is getting right around 22-25 MPG and only costing me 125 a month. It's also very nice to have my 150 cleaned and gassed up for the weekends as well as keeping many extra miles off of it
$3.27 for 87 here, and I'm not complaining too much - I simply drive smart and combine trips whenever possible. Truck is paid for and getting something more economical would be too long a payback.

Dear God F150Europe, the US would come to a grinding halt if prices got that high. There are many jobs where you'd be better off not having a job and going to work as it'd cost you more to get to work and back then you would make that particular day.
$3.34 was the lowest price I saw around here today...
I remember not too long ago when I found gas for $0.77 a gallon in Georgia.....is 8 years a long time ago?
I just watched "I Am Legend" a few nights ago. I recall the opening of the movie had a scene of a gas station sign that has gas at $6.something a gallon. I laughed...

This is great from an environment standpoint as we're doing better by not consuming as much oil/gas when doing this. But from an economics standpoint, how much did the 2001 4 cyl nissan frontier cost you? (ie. Lets say you're saving $125 per month on gas) How many months of gas savings will it take for you to break even on the purchase of the nissan?

It has been sitting up the whole time he has been gone and he asked me to drive it.
This is a cool thread. In 2001 we were bitchin about $1.45. Now i'd be happy with $2.75
Well I finally broke the $120 per tank mark yesterday....it wasn't as thrilling as I thought it was going to be. I figured the station would at least give me a prize.
they should at least offer free KY and the pumps.
reg. $3.65/gal
mid. $3.75/gal
pre. $3.85/gal
Good news is that the wifles 2006 Accord with a 4 banger got 34mpg on our trip to North Carolina and back even through the mountains. It usually gets 27-32 in town....who needs that hybrid crap when a decent 4 cyl. gets in the 30's all day long
When I took the truck the Bristol race it only got 15mpg, damn hills(not that running 80mph helped either
)

We're at around $3.45 here so far... prices keep going up every day. Last time I filled my tank it cost around 85 bucks.






it's the highest it has ever been here, and it is still going up FAST
for 20.5 gals of 93 yesterday, $3.679 gallon.
