I know our european members are wishing for $3 gas, but it is a major milestone for us spoiled Americans.
Does it make an impact in my life or change my lifestyle? Not at this point. The Daily Driver does better (but not a lot better) than 20 mpg and I "only" drive a couple hundred miles per week.
I have promised myself to wait for the four door Si before I buy another new car, but the Fit may get close attention.
$5 per gallon gas in the US is not too far away. One way or another we will be there soon.

I'm actually moving closer to work to avoid higher gas prices. Unfortunately the area where my store is located is very expensive. So any money I would save on gas is spent on a higher house payment. But I would rather spend the money on a nicer home then to give any more money to the oil companies.
It is going to be nice to be able to ride my bike to work for a change.

Ya know, I really can't complain just because gas is up. If gas jumps 50 cents, I pay an extra 5 bucks to fill up. Big damn deal. And I don't drive a whole lot, only enough to need a refill about twice a month. So 10 bucks more per month? I don't even notice it.

I drive about at least 70 miles a day, and a lot of that is in stop-go traffic. So if you figure I get 30 MPG, then I'm paying close to $7 a day to drive to work and back. Not too bad overall. I'm not complaining too much. But our SUV...different story. It costs over $50 to fill it up. Luckily we don't drive it nearly as much as the rex.

I drove a Fit today. 5 speed S version. Very nicely done. Get 38 highway 33 city. My complaints are the following:crxgator said:
1) Not the tightest car on the road. Guess the wind makes it move a bit
2) A bit too noisy at 75 mph. Wind noise. We live in the Boonies and my wife commutes to Portland, Oregon at fairly high speed.
3) Gets pretty peppy at 5000 rpm but then redline is at 6500. javascript:emoticon('
')Sad
Hard to tell how the vtec engages. I think its progressive.
4) After a hard acceleration, the rpms kind of hang. I suppose its emissions crap. I don't have any on my crx. No inspection where we live near Mt. St. Helens, Washington.
5) 3500 rpms at 70 mph. Well its less than my b16 with the YS1 tranny but I red line at closer to 9500!

I don't get it ollie... you thought it was PPL, yet you divided the liters by 3.78, instead of multiplying... 1 GALLON = 3.78 LITERS, not the other way around...SETI20 said:
