Gas Prices....?

As we all face this new-found pain at the pumps, who here is changing their plans significantly for the future? Considering forgoing a performance car as a daily driver to "putt around in a shitty tree-hugger car" and then saving the money towards a weekend warrior?

After a $50+ fillup of my ING CAVALIER, I have officially had it. Forget PACER, ERASE, or any other dumb ing task force that they implement to stop street racing. We have a much more powerful foe to contend with: OPEC.

A lot of people say "Bush invaded Iraq for Oil". Sure thing ***-bread.... If that's the case, how come the days of a $20 fillup are long gone? (ahh.. I remember my G2-days). I hope those anti-war bitches pipe up to come up with an answer as to why I'm paying out my *** in this so-called "free world" for the very chemical which DRIVES OUR ECONOMY!?

I won't buy a smart. there's that new "sport" known as Smart-tipping that people seem to get a kick out of. Dumbass Mercedes decided it was neccessary to POWDERCOAT the exposed structure so that the car is either half-*** repaired or written off.

$70/fill up was what it cost last season. That will be more like $85+ now

And I will be LUCKY to get 375-400km out of that. Hooray.

just buy an echo. even base model 4 banger civics are very good.

the all-new accord hybrid is exceptional from what i've heard, but kinds pricey ($29K?). it also hauls ***.

I honestly think that buying a tree huggin car is a good idea in a way, will let me save on gas, and have a crazy car I can just rip in, I'd consider it

To fill up my sunfire its like $45

To fill up my monte carlo... its like $65

I was jsut talking to some friends in BC and Montreal. there gas prices are sitting at around 1.01 to 1.04! :supergay:

You think are gas prices are bad now??? dudes its not even summer yet!

Just wait till around May24 weekend when gas becomes extremely high demand and just watch the prices climb from there. Its only april yet u guys havent seen anything.
