i need a prius Options

[Elba]

Gas prices f**king went up overnight. It is over $4 ALL OVER now (where I live). Wtf? Gas station where I filled up two days ago, which was $3.93 at the time, was $4.09 today. AHHHHHHHHHHHH

So, now the average in CA has hit $4.00

I don't know how much more of this I can take. So, how high do gas prices have to be before you change your habit? And what will you do?
As for me, I think if it goes to $5, I'll buy/lease a prius or something.... gah, I can't even afford a new car but it's going to get to the point where I can't afford a tank of gas, either.

/rant.

[rnicron]

Gas here is under $3.75.

[Elba]

I hate you Spencer. Send me some.

[rnicron]

If you think about it, it's pretty much even. Californian's make more than us in Missouri, so you should pay more.

[Elba]

I'm f**king poor.

[rnicron]

Move out of Cali.

[Elba]

Never.

[rnicron]

Then don't complain.

[Elba]

Stfu.

[SuckDickNSaveLiv...]

Its getting gutter on the streets. Imma about to start robbing niggas for gas. Ya heard me son.

[Flaunted]

Dude i'm not even in the city of Chicago and Prem is $4.19 or so.
Chicago is $4.50 T_T

[Tung]

Why don't you hop on daddy's lap, and I'll give you a ride.

[Elba]

Dang dude, that's ridiculous!

[Tung]

huh? what's so ridiculous about riding on my lap?

[Elba]

Oh, LMAO. I hadn't read your post. I was replying to Sammie's (Flaunted's) post.

Lap =/= Back...

[Flaunted]

He's a horse, you can be like one of those princesses that ride with both feet on one side.

Yeah its totally ridiculous though :[
It limits my events schedule :[

[*paperplane*]

It's $4.09 in Atlanta too. As soon as you get out of the city, though, it's like $3.79, probably even less outside the perimeter. I forgot to check the gas stations around here.

[Imnot13]

It's like 3.69 here. If it gets to 5, my parents are probably going to take my car and sell it. For gas money.

[stephinika]

Gross. I dno the conversion, but I'm assuming its as bad as here... $1.35ish/Litre... GAH, I hate it so muchhh.

[Sprague]

Prices in the south have been sky-rocketing, lately. I'm pretty positive it'll get even higher during the summer. :(

I'm with you though -- I'm waiting 'til 5 dollars to begin cutting down. One of my cars gets 23 mpg, and the other gets 32 mpg. Since I only use the car on the weekends, it isn't too much of a hassle for me. But every time I go fill the tank up, and the bill turns out to be around $40, I cry a little on the inside. :(

[Smarmosaur]

Gas here is under $3.75.

holy freakin' crap, are you kiding? it's over $4 here around Jefferson City. >_<

:( I drive a Jeep. 18 mpg. Now it's $80 to fill up my tank.

[kryogenix]

I usually don't drive, I usually walk, ride a bike, use public transportation, or ride with someone.

[rnicron]

That's what you get for living on the sucky side of the state.

[Sprague]

Oooouch!! I feel for you.

[moninja]

i kind of don't want to drive now. D:

[Smarmosaur]

side? it's like...in the middle of the state.
but anyways, you live in the KC area don't you? i freakin' love Kansas City... :[

[foxx]

It's about $4.20 for diesel, and for normal gas it's around $3.95
For the diesel truck we have, it costs about $160.00 to fill up.
:X

[ChangeofHeart]

i just have a team of illegal immigrants carry me around, its very cheap.

[Insurmountable]

Its 3.90 here in NC

pathetic. Thank god the honda I drive around is pretty decent on gas.

[Just_Dream]

It sucks since you have to drive quite a distance to get to college, BLABLA. Ack, at least 20 miles each way, for both of us! Fortunately Tony's driving and his parents pay for gas. They don't like to, but they have to. ^^; But dude, Costco gasoline is $3.97 or something for regular. But we haven't filled up there yet. D:

It used to be $65 for the Lexus, now it's going to be $70 to fill up. NOOOOOO

[karmakiller]

$3.99. It hasn't quite hit 4 dollars. LOL. My car gets poor gas milage... and where I live I don't have public transportation and it's too dangerous to bike.

Costco is way out of my way to fill up there. Plus, there's always long lines for the gas there.

Unban Steven & Michelle!

[Just_Dream]

Yea well, Tony and I can wait if it means saving at least 10 cents per gallon, cause we're cheap like that. =X

[Elba]

LOL. Fo shooooo. If I fill up there, it'll have to be early when they barely open so I can beat the "traffic".

Unban Steven & Michelle!

[Just_Dream]

ew traffic. Makes gas guzzling worse. I swear, our traffic is getting worse and worse every year. I remember when traffic wasn't even that bad when I was in high school (but I made it out to be that way). D:

[DarkImpressions]

Lol.
I can remember literally when gas was a dollar something!
It seems like it gets higher and higher, At this rate imagine how it would be in 1 year.
Scary!

[Flaunted]

I feel so bad because my boyfriend drives everywhere for his family and me and he refuses to let me buy gas. I looked today and around my neighborhood its 4.30 for regular, 4.41 for prem.
Thats not even chicago chicago.
/cry

[loveylovely]

gas here is around 3.87. i think i'm just going to go fill up tomorrow before it freaking rises again.

[TiffanyFactorial]

Elba, I feeel you. I've been wanting a prius for so long. 45mpg/50mpg is beyond amazing. my car gets on average 17mpg. :(

and gas prices are also around $4.15 for premium. For unleaded it's either 3.83 or 3.93 or something. When gas prices are half minimum wage, you know something is definitely wrong!!

I need a bike. That way you can get exercise, save the environment, and save money!

[rnicron]

side? it's like...in the middle of the state.
but anyways, you live in the KC area don't you? i freakin' love Kansas City... :[

It's closer to the east side than the west.

Good news! I just filled up for $3.69 a gallon. Suck that, Elba.

[Elba]

f**k you, bitch!

[rnicron]

Suck it, cunt!

[Elba]

Ew no, ho.

[rnicron]

Fill me in on what happened from ~Friday until now.

[Elba]

What happened with what? CB? I haven't really been around. My life? I finally broke it off with peanut.

[rnicron]

Yeah cB. I've been at the lake/St. Louis. I really doubt you broke it off. stfu

[Sprague]

I just got my bill from Chevon, and it totaled to $652.49 for this entire month. It made me cry a little. :(

Its up to 4.21 here. Why can't I live in Hunington Beach... it's only 4.01 there. T_T

[Elba]

$652. God damn. I don't even make that much in a month.

[rnicron]

Making 12 bucks an hour, you can't rake in a little over $600 a month? Do you work 2 hours a week? I only make 9 and can make a little under a thousand, depending how much I work.

[Elba]

I only work 10 hours a week. $440 a month.

[rnicron]

Damn! I thought I barely worked with ~25 hours every now and then.

I LIVE IN HUNTINGTON BEACH AND gas is DEFINITELY not 4.01! unless you're talking about unleaded. then it's a little cheaper than that. 3.83 to 3.93 but premium is 4.23

[Sprague]

It is at the Chevron by the post office my mom works at. I just filled it up for her on Saturday. o_o We don't use prem anymore though. Too expensive.

[freeridefight]

gah youre going to be seing people driving around on Mopeds soon. Wtf gas companies, you all are rich enough, give us a break.

And wtf are we going to do with all the batteries after they eventually die in the hybrids? They collect in a landfill. Defeats their purpose.

fu*k this

[Sandraaa]

HAHAHA! Y'all should come to Europe.

Who the f**k would still use premium?

Honestly, people who are willing to pay for premium gas shouldn't whine about the prices.

Also, what's this about people paying gas bills? Do you have a particular card you use?

Some cars can only handle premium gas, and if they use unleaded then it isn't good for their car I guess. Iono. There was this debate about it didn't really matter what gas you use, it's all the same really.

As for paying gas bills, I'm guessing they use their credit card to charge when they go to the gas station. I do that sometimes.

[*paperplane*]

It just seems crazy. My dad, for example, recently bought some huge SUV and apparently feels that it's necessary to use at least medium grade gasoline. So when he bitches to me, I don't really sympathize at all, because it's entirely his choice to have bought a gas guzzling car and then put more expensive gas in it. Stop that shit, and help me afford my regular unleaded instead.

I always use my debit card, but I've never bothered at add up what I've spent at particular places when I get my statements. hm.

[moninja]

diesel here is $4.99

[brooklyneast05]

fu*k this

i don't see how that point even makes sense considering NON hybrid cars also have batteries, and their lead batteries happen to be more toxic than the nickel ones in hybrids today. they'll be a lot more toxic than the lithium, which is what hybrids are going to end up going to.

[Just_Dream]

Some cars can only handle premium gas, and if they use unleaded then it isn't good for their car I guess. Iono. There was this debate about it didn't really matter what gas you use, it's all the same really.

A lower octane would result in lowering the longevity of the engine life, and higher end models (i.e. sport cars) requiring premium might break down after having been filled up with "regular unleaded." Higher octane allows you to have the maximum efficiency out of your engine, ONLY if the engine requires a higher octane. I know the rx7 had a little hiccup with 89 or 87, instead of 91. BTW Hawaii has 92 octane gas. Man it was so expensive there, last summer. D:

BTW BLABLA I work 12 hours a week, but I make around $440/month as well. Damn you and your $12/hour! lol

[TiffanyFactorial]

gas prices are bad, no matter what you fill your car up with. prem, reg, diesel, what ever you fill it up with, it's high. i have a lexus and it requires for me to use premium only. i decided since it's 11 years old, i'll just use the cheapest one. and i have noticed that sometimes my engine isn't in the best shape.

gas is arguably and could be all the same, who knows. they could be scamming us, whatever. they're doing a good job and something needs to change about this out of control gas price.
