i would like to find a honda civic vx. my friend at work has one its a 94, 55mpg on the highway. comes factory with a wide band o2.
What would you do if gas hits 7 bucks a gallon?
- Thread starter Ma70.Ent
- Start date
Jeeze. Its under 4.10 in my town.
The thing that sucks. Is I have to commute my 6.6 liter beast 13 miles a one way to work. Which isn't a problem, but I'm broke, lol, I get paid on Friday, I hope that can hold me over till the next few paychecks.
I wish I could go buy an MR2 right now :X

It went up...
this was earlier today, at the same gas station...
p.s.. you can see my Euro mirrors..
For some strange reason, racegas does not seem to be going up anywhere near the rate of normal pump gas. Sunoco 112 octane was still $8 to $8.25/gal this week; a couple weeks ago I got C16 still at $11/gal. Compared to pump, this now seems like a bargain.
gas here is 4.85 for prem glad I have parked the supra now just driving the solara and still hating life
$3.89 for reuglar, $4.09-4.19 for premium here on the east side of PA.
But back on topic, I'd still drive, just not as often as I do now. I will not buy a brand new car just to get better gas mileage.

I guess just drive I commute 40miles 7days a week for school and work. But I dunno whatever. I'm not gonna spend more money on a new car with better mpg cause that'll just cost more money. But my supra isn't even running right now so, I'm daily driven at 30mpg so I'm happy
When gas hit $3.75 a gallon 2 months ago, I bought one of these. Fun little toy... I just hit 700 miles.

and you think the people here want to pay that much? Get a fucking clue America. It's called carpooling, scooter/moped, motorcycle, public transportation, bicycling, walking. Other countries have been doing it for years. Hell when I lived in Tokyo a car was a luxury you didn't always need. Public transportation and a good pair of walking shoes got me everywhere. As Americans we should try to do the same. We're spoiled and for some reason believe that it's an American right to have cheap gas....but the rest of the world (except for the middle east) has already adapted. And so should we.
It wouldn't be so bad if corporate payroll departments would realize that their employees have to buy it too. They raise the price on their products, because of increased costs of getting the goods to their marketplace, but turn their backs when the people doing their labor have to suffer just to get there to help them. They should incorporate the increased payroll into the price increase to begin with. But, then I guess the employee would want more of a raise because of higher priced products at the supermarket as well.

mopeds arnt an option for a lot of americans because of the "uncoolness" of them. theyre a lot more socially accepted in europe.
im already trying to get a bike for gas mileage, and im fixing a CRX HF... 45 mpg! i love how modern hybrids less than or equal to a lot of 80's cars in mpg
its all about weight and dimensions..
the so-called need for "lots of room" is turning "compact" cars into land yachts, and new safety standards, such as extra bracing to survive an impact with larger vehicles is causing curb weights to shoot up, which drains MPG...

good luck, I never have more than half a tank..
I do that, because gas weighs alot, and I see no reason to completely fill up, and use the extra gas I pumped to haul it around...

ah but your adapting...instead of moped get a motorcycle. That's what I did. Even though I'm an American living in Italy I still went with the cool factor and got me a motorcycle.
