im sorry but i simply cant afford the 14mpg. im spending 400 a month on gas its getting out of line now. i know some of you may disagree but im getting one of these. 0-60 in 5ish seconds 1/4 round 13.5 stock, 18mpg city 26mpg highway. ( after looking at evo forums it really gets round 23, the clutches can go bad quick, the paint is thin as hell, did i mention ive never drove a manual? atleast im getting it for 4000 under book.) opinions are welcome.

i hear ya. 100$ fillups and all my truck does now is sit. have to share the minivan with teh wife.

 

Wow... Lucky I only have to drive two miles to work. I still would never get rid of my L for a cramped up car or anything else (I was on a hunt for one for two years!!!). Welp... time to tell the bosses it's time for a raise ! (price of living goes up = gotta make more $)

 

STi

 

I was looking at them this morning trying to get an idea of what they're going for.

$3.65 for Sunoco 94 is killing me.

 

Doesn't sound like such a 'Big Shooter' if the price of gas is getting to him.

 

I got a Mitsi-Something, no complaints at all.
The L's a 02 with @ 17 K on it now, the Mitsi-whatever is a 03 approaching 40K. Unfortunately I dont know which one gets worse gas milage ^@$%(@$%(@$%(@$%@($%#($%@#($%@$#($@#*@$#*(@%$(*%@$ (@$

I like the evo, and of course HP to Weight ratio is everything, but as said the size is a HUGE diff and just make sure you are happy with the room before taking the plunge. I sold my 96 Cobra because I just could not take that cramped up feeling any more, plus I think it's the worse Car I ever saw to have to get in and out of. And I'm very short, I simply could not deal with smashing my knee caps, crawling out with one hand on the floor, and feeling like I was in a coffin.

Dont know where you live but here in NY, you must also judge your vehicles interior room and comfort, WEARING YOUR WINTER JACKET TOO
And of course weight and size saves lifes in an accident too

I burned $70.00 in fuel in the L in 3 days and can totally relate. I find myself putting at least 100.00 - 130.00 per week on the CC in gas now between the two and as said they both suck on fuel. Hate to see you go Bro, but best of luck to you and I wish you Great Luck in your new Beaut

 

LOL...... Now that funny!

But I fell your pain. One of the nice things about working in a refinery is if the is a will, there is a way........if you catch my drift

Too bad its only regular But the Explorer like regular

Back in the hey days I was the siphon KING
maybe it's time for late night hit the neighbors again time
OR SOMETHING

 

I agree especially at $400/month for gas. At least you're still going to have a fast ride. I don't blame you. I was on the verge of buying a toyota tercel as my DD, but I am holding off to see if gas prices come back down with the refineries coming back on line.

 

For the record

1) Iam NOT stealing, its part of my wage cost of living package or something

2) With that yap of yours, Iam willing to bet there's NOBODY that can compare with your siphoning skills

 

So instead of paying a little extra per month in added fuel costs, you are buying a new car that gets better gas mileage? Higher insurance, Higher car payments, etc...

I thought about getting rid of my DD (Grand Cherokee) however, financially it doesn't make sense. Especially since the GC has been paid off for some time.

 

I'm going to buy a gas racing scooter! I found one that goes like 50mph add some nitrous and it should get to 60 mph.

 

How about the new Sub-Compact Vette?

 

do i need to mention that im 19, i OWN my home, the lightning, and the Lancer EVO outright. i hate monthly payments with a passion. ive NEVER had to finance anything. i just know how to use my money and gas isnt where i want it going.
