Zamode Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 What are gas prices by you and where are you? Generally by me in NW NJ, about $1.65 so far for regular. I was almost on fumes today and filled the tank--literally and figuratively speaking--$44! It will be worse by Memorial Day then all summer.... I'm going to work for gas, it seems....

Swede Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 a little tip for ya, never drive in Sweden!! it is about 10SEK/litre... that would be about...' does the math'... $5/gallon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesterDevil Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 $1.82 over here in Grand Rapids Michigan. They are supposed to break the $2/gal mark this summer. It's bullcrap. You know that fuel companies pay about $32 per BARREL for oil. But the government are still getting their tax part of it, so what do they care. Another quesiton, how come the price of gas goes up, but the price of engine OIL doesn't? It all comes form the same place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 in the Glen Rock area it's in the 1.80-1.90 range. I was recently in Brooklyn and it's still at 2 dollars. A few weeks ago it was around $2.15!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsGoDevils Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Primary reason that I'm buying a Prius. Only planing night trips then? Or do you really want to be seen driving one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoDevils Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Just filled up today here in South Jersey. $1.58/gallon regular. Still under $20 to fill the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I see nothing wrong with the 2004 model.... http://www.toyota.com/prius/ Motor Trends car of the year. Plus the style isn't why people buy it... you buy it for it's fuel economy and ultra-low emissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 don, the prices back home had led to that cars like this one (on of my friends have one, and they are OK) http://www.toyota.se/showroom/yaris_2003/gallery.html has become very popular. If you go to Scandinavia you won't find any of those huge pick-ups that are driven everywhere here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poohbear Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I think it was about 1.89 the last time I filled up. I try to hold off till I'm over in NJ 'cuz it's cheaper and you don't have to pump your own. That sucks. We pay more and have to pump our own here in Pennsy. Bastards!!
