Re: Have You Curtailed Your Cruise Night/Car Sow Activity:"?
I've only got about 800 miles on my new Mazda3 hatch, but one of the things I really like about it is that if I drive it like an econobox, I get econobox mileage. But, if I want to have some fun, it's got some zoom-zoom, too.Sure, it's no 454 Corvette, but it's plenty fast for driving on the street.
I got 31.7 MPG on my 1st tank & 28.2 MPG on the 2nd (more fun-less mileage).
BTW, my wife got 27.3 MPG on her last tank with the Volvo S80 (2.9L six - no turbo). Not bad for a full size sedan!

Get a load of this...
My AC pulley went bad after the end of last summer and I had to remove the belt. I was going to get it fixed until I noticed that my gas mileage had shot up about 4 to 5 miles to the gallon!
I'm not in a hurry to get it fixed now.
At least until the weather gets hot again.

I can't imagine spending $35.00 for 10 gallons of fuel was much like fun at all. I know it's unfathomable to some, but after an expense like that, for at least some of us, there isn't anything left for little necessities, like food, certainly not Vendor food at an event, even at if the event is a Cruise Night. Oh well, this is like discussing the weather, might make you feel better to say whatever it is you've said, but it doesn't change anything.

I'm sure, depending on how old the prices were that you read, we all wish gasoline prices would come down out of looney tune land, to at least where they were when this thread started, but I doubt that's going to ever happen. Hey, when you can get $3.00-$4.00/gal for gasoline, why even think about dropping the price, heck, they'll jack it up even higher, and then someone will tell us how we shouldn't complain, and how it's either been higher somewhere else for years, or how much higher it is somewhere else.

I sold the truck that needed premium but the Liberty gets about the same mileage, just cheaper gas. I'd hate to have to make the jump to a little car.

Re: Have You Curtailed Your Cruise Night/Car Sow Activity:"?
Bad analogy. Some of use have scraped along to do what we've done, and now, we're barely hanging on, thanks to higher everything, except for income.
Originally posted by showtime View PostI look at it this way. If you can afford to own more than one car, you should be able to afford the gas. Owning a single car in and of itself is a luxury.

Re: Have You Curtailed Your Cruise Night/Car Sow Activity:"?
We're now around $2.80-$2.90/gal for those who can use Regular grade gasoline, and upwards of $3.25/gal for Premium. Like it or not, I won't be going to too many Cruise Nights, if prices stay where they are now, or worse yet, go higher.
Originally posted by VonLego View Postprices are 3.07 for the cheap stuff up towards almost 3.25 or so. This is in Washington.
I drive a lot for school, another school, and work... Nothing I can do about it. No regrets on a 20 mpg car either, I love it.

We probably spend as much on gasoline in a month as we do on phone bills.

I came close to buying a 72 eldorado convertable recently.
Thats funny I never noticed I had a car from almost every decade in the last 50 -60 years.
I think my wife wants me to work on a year 2000+ before I get anything from the 70s.
