Lance 228 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Too much....especially when I drive an hour to work...I'm seriously considering finding employment closer to home....and the next vehicle I get will get at LEAST 45 mpg....got my eye on a Honda Insight, right now... only problem is that new hybrids are so expensive its cheaper to just pay for gas...if they would put out a hybrid around $18k that is where you would really see savings, especially with the tax credit. another thing is going to a 6 speed transmission...if my Scion had that I would get 42+ easy...I know it...right now that thing revs so high with a 5 speed when you get to 70-75mph on the interstate you are pushing 6000 rpms...if they put another gear in there it would drop that to 2500rpm or so and you would save a LOT of gas at interstate cruise speeds...I get about 35-37mpg as it is.

The Honda Insight is priced right at $20,000....price is $2000 lower than last year's model....it's a hybrid, but the friction from braking recharges the electrical component, no need to plug in....I'm going to wait until next summer, until I hear reviews about this car...but it gets around 50 mpg on the highway...My Nissan Sentra gets about 34...

ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 $3.75 today at the Exxon on Exit 5...bastards. I really don't like that gas station anymore, but if you notice, the shell station right next to it is almost always higher. I've seen the gas prices at that exxon change multiple times in one day (some days I've seen it just go up, some it goes up and down and back up again). Just doesn't seem right sometimes.

VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I can't rem. what happened years ago that turned me against them, but I never stop there now... always go to the one at Exit 17, since I end up there anyway for Arby's, Shoneys or Papa's.
