Necro Posted June 9, 2008 This would be why my family is considering selling our perfectly good Honda minivan and compact car, one of which we just finished making payments on, to buy a pair of hybrids. On that note, why haven't we just switched to full electric power already? In late 2007 I was reading an article about some sort of breakthrough being perfected in Tokyo that would make a 1-hour battery last ten hours. I assume they've made at least some headway on it.

~ShadowBolt~ Posted June 9, 2008 Hmm... you're fine as long as you don't have a Hummer or a huge pickup truck. Also, my mom said she would like to have one of those small two seater European cars for just around town to save on gas. If you care, my gas is anywhere from 3.80-4.10 USD a gallon and I'm glad I don't live in Chicago... ~SB~ Quote Link to comment
Queen of Noise Posted June 9, 2008 Hmm... you're fine as long as you don't have a Hummer or a huge pickup truck. No, it's still pretty dang awful even if you just have a normal-size sedan. Take it from a fella who has to commute to work and just spent fifty dollars to fill up his car this morning. Quote Link to comment
Blue Fire Posted June 9, 2008 Yeah. It's not getting better. By next year, someone predicted that gas would hit $7.00 a gallon. Why can't we go back to the 90s, where gas was 99 cents a gallon? Quote Link to comment
Blessed Blade Posted June 9, 2008 Or 70 cents, like I remember it to be... One good thing for me is I don't drive fully until 3 years for now... Bad thing, by then it'll be 20 dollars per gallon probably :-/ Ah well, it's pretty cheap currently... luckily... Quote Link to comment

Nikira Posted June 10, 2008 $70 to fill up my folks' Dodge today. >< It's ridiculous, I say. :| Quote Link to comment
EXTREEEEEME!!! Posted June 10, 2008 Y'know, I always wonder how things would've turned out if we never did anything with oil. Just let it sit and spew or whatever. We probably wouldn't be here right now, but I'm just curious. We need a "What if?" machine. Quote Link to comment
Miss Magpi Posted June 10, 2008 We need a "What if?" machine. Only if i can can use the fing-longer! The price of gas in making people crazy. I hear it every day at work when i ask when people want to come back for their medicine. "I'm going to wait!! I'm not wasting gas just to come back HERE!" is a phrase i hear at least 5 times a day. It makes me wonder why people don't take advantage of technology and call their prescriptions ahead of time. Oh wow, a phone!! Now you only have to make one trip!! Sheesh... now that is the end of my rant! I'm glad I WALK! Quote Link to comment
Watashi Wa Posted June 10, 2008 $3.85 here. It was at $3.78 just this morning. << And that's why I want to live on campus, instead of commuting every day back and forth. Walking to class would be better for me -and- my wallet. Quote Link to comment
