Actually, when premium was $2.60, I didn't care. I still pumped it into the ES. I stopped pumping premium when it got to $3.00/gal. But now, it's like $4.55, I'm not pumping premium for squat... and I drive an RSX (base) now. Saves more gas than the old ES I have.

I don't think the economy will get better with these gas prices. Gas is the basic necessity for people to go out so if it's that high then everything else will drop or online shopping will increase by 25%+???

Hey guys, I don't forsee gas prices going down anytime soon. I'm thankful I live in Jersey where the gas is a little cheaper. I still put premium into my car at $4.09 a gallon and I commute everyday to work one hour each way. It sucks ballz. I'm looking for a new job and hopefully will get to ride the train.

But on the brighter side (if there is one), we actually don't pay that much for gas compared to the rest of the world. I think the U.K. is paying 7-8 bucks a gallon.

i'm sure you get why they want you to feel bad about carbon and 'going green' now, right? the reality behind it. come now, you must see it now.

for 87 it hasnt hit 4 dollars a gallon where i live, it might as well be at 3.87 when it hits 4 dollars there is a small petition of people who in this town will ride their bikes wherever they need to go, unless of course its a long trip, for the few lazy people we're thinking of claiming 10-20 miles long distance LOL. But yeah, ive taken time away from my car and focus on building my bike into a pedal/gas conversion, i had a kit and it was getting like 120mpg but i guess i went to fast on it because the little engine locks up on me.

SCREW GAS!!

Also, please do not convert your car into a water for fuel, this is a very stupid idea, wont go as fast, and water is a very precious resource that we could use up in a matter of years, dont argue about it either just think about it, it doesnt rain alot in certain area's and there are water bans on parts of america, not to mention the ocean, yeah we dont want to deplete the ocean, loss of sea life, climate would change a bunch, its just not a good idea.

...let's see, one premium liter @1.485 x 3.78 = $5.61 which i would say is pretty high but i don't complain. I like driving. This will be considered cheap in another year or two sadly anyway. We're lucky we're not living in Amsterdam paying upwards of $6.50 gallon.

Default Regular outside the ATL $3.989 for regular

I topped off my 96 civic and put in 7.5 gallons. I got 37mpg on that last tank mixed city and highway. The Windom is pretty much parked and Im debating whether I should sell it or not.
