per gallon for my oil - 170 gallons
f'in insane |
Wow! I thought that 3.34 cash price was bad enough. The cost of gas and oil is really cutting into where I go and what I do when I get there.

what the heck ever happened to the Volkswagon Rabbit that got 50 MPG and others that did close to that? :huh:
did the oil companys buy them all up? I just wonder why since the 70's, cars have progressed backwards in the MPG area, doesn't make sense. :bs: Oil companies only care about money not the realistic things like the enviroment or the real world economy. It's 2008, there should be cars capable of getting 50-75 MPG easily on gas alone, nevermind the hybrid crap. :hs: |

They were diesels. |

And even more importantly they weighed dramatically less. They were probably around 1900 pounds. A new one is a bloated 3300 or so pounds. |

People laughed at me and thought I was nuts when I sold my truck and bought a VW GTI last year and put a roof rack on, but 15 mpg around town was getting old then nevermind now. Now I enjoy actual numbers of 30+mpg on the highway, 24 mpg around town, and it hauls itself to 60mph in about 6 seconds so it's no slouch. People aren't laughing now. More $$ in my pocket or to use to go fishing. I'm sure they make a rack for a Yaris too. :laugha: |

$100 barrel again http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080320/oil_prices.html?.v=7
Notice no-one has said anything much in the news that oil has lost $10 a barrel in the last week... Futures for MAY are way down...LET'S see if the price of fuel drops now. I suspect not. Heating oil is still 1/4 dealer profit no matter what they're making their money. Some towns are paying ~$2 a gallon for diesel while it's $4.23 a gallon at the pump here. Everyone got their hand out. |

i had a diesel rabbit that i drove across country and back ...from San Diego to new england and back again...but it broke down in Mo. and i had to leave it there at a friends house....and flew to cal. then i flew back to Mo. rebuilt the engine and drove back to cal. ========================================= it had dual tanks installed.... and with them i had a 1000 mile crusing range... when i left S.D. i had a whole bunch of plastic fuel bottles - full of diesel - in the back ...they were thrown away actually from used coolant bottles that i had saved....so as i drove to florida going thru texas i'd stop at rest area's anytime i could add one to my tank ok.... anyways the point is... i drove basically non stop all the way into the florida panhandle without ever having to buy diesel fuel at a service station. i sure miss the fuel economy of that car. lately i heard though, that VW was bringing back the diesel rabbit. they are a wicked small car however and will easily slide underneath a semi if you fall asleep at the wheel.:( |
the X-Prize
i love this....
10 million Dollars for who ever invents a car that will get 100 mpg this will stand detroit and toyota on their heads it's gonna be great ! http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science....ap/index.html |

There will be a new diesel Jetta this fall for sure and possibly a Rabbit. And the Rabbit's not THAT small. ;) |
When faced with the thought of buying a new truck or doing something else. Thats just what I did. Kept the truck, use it for fishing and truck things. Bought a new Honda Fit. These little cars got it going. Handling, gret up. Car and driver actually have the Fit beating a Corvette in an S-trial. The Fit gets ~37hghy.
