Their hanging on to the Fiesta to early '19..  Just incase.

OP where did you see this? I think it's fake news! 

I just checked Manhattan gas prices on gasbuddy.com and the actual price ranges from 3.05 to 3.65

In reply to tjbell :

Dang. Here it'll be $4 soon.

I just put 117 bucks on the excursion. It should be good until this time next month. Or further since I won't be driving it again until mid next week.

$1.55/liter here. You are paying 92 cents/liter.

 

Not feeling your pain.

Compare apples to apples, not US dollars to Canadian you're paying $1.24 in their money which is still pretty pricey, is that 94?

I'm not paying anywhere near that

I have to fill up at least once a week. WIsh I could say once a month

I fill my Silverado 2X a week.  I “was” spending $340 a month on gas......

Learn to ride a motorcycle.

We sell a lot of stuff to the refineries in Houston.  We like $5/Gallon gas - everyone is really happy at Corporate.   

I've learned over the years that Republicans love high gas prices and war. I knew once Trump got in office, it was only a matter of time. Just one of the reasons I purchased this. BERK your high gas prices, bitches. 60+ mpg to just flip the bird to all the OPEC nations.

Oh well....

In reply to 2002maniac :

Your gas buddy seems to be a bit off.  A quick audit of our fuel receipts at work says we haven't paid close to $3.05 in Manhattan in some time. 

Guys needing premium can pump regular and let your ecu retard timing for a while, right?  I’d try it but we drive a sienna and rav4 and tend to be too poor for cars asking for 91+.

Where and when was this 'cheap' gas you guys are taking about? Other than a few brief moments gas has been over $2 a gallon for years....

yea, just in case.  Good thinking there Ford. 

I paid $3.17 / gallon last night in central GA, typically a fairly cheap area for gas. Of course, that was for 90 octane Ethanol-free for the vintage boat. Regular was still just under $2.50

In my case no. The Speed3 really doesn't like it as it's too high strung with the way it's been modified and tuned around 93. The Vibe would likely tolerate it if kept below 6500 RPM. They both still achieve about 30 mpg if driven calmly so it isn't as huge of a deal.

The X-Terra is a tractor so that thing just gets whatever swill is the cheapest but it only gets like 18 mpg on a good day.

If I had something made in the last 5 years it might though.

Paid $3.50 /gal for 93 octane premium last night.

GM vehicles for the last 15 or so years have done that.

I don't know where in MD you're tanking up.  I just filled my Volvo 240 and a 5 gallon jerry can at the BP in Federal Hill yesterday for $2.84/gallon (regular grade).

At 25 mpg and 1000 miles/ month fuel will cost $120 a month at $3/gallon and $200 a month at $5/gallon.  $80 a month won't pay the note on even the cheapest POS econobox.  $80/month won't even pay for most people's cell phone bill.

What's the MPG hit?

$1.32 per liter for regular 87 here in Manitoba.

That's $1.02 USD per liter, or $3.86 USD per US gallon.

Using NOHOMEs $1.55 per liter figure (in Ontario?), that's $4.54 USD per US gallon.

It's science. You can't argue with facts.

Look, I’m a simple man…no political digs means exactly that to me…it doesn’t mean that you can get away with poking the bear occasionally so long as you space them out pretty good and you dilute them with a fair amount of other content and you’re reasonably popular and, and, and.

Having said that, I just deleted my post in the interest of keeping the peace.

I’m disappointed that you’re fine with someone blasting a specific political party by name but then my call to avoid provocation (in either direction) results in a patio threat.
