It'll be warm enough here the next couple of days to ride the old Suz DR650. That's a double cost savings for me since I won't stop for a couple of beers after work on the bike.

 

Yeah I plan on riding the ol Honda CBR more this spring my self.

It just chaps my **** to see diesel .40 cents or better a gallon over super unleaded. Makes ya wana beat a tree hugger over the head with a tree!

 

def some serious **** chapping...

 

I paid $134 at the pump yesterday.

 

Jetta TDI... Problem solved!

 

tank is NOT going below 1/4... 26 gals. @ 3.85/gal= $100

 

Thats what I am watching Craigs list 40-50mpg and you can still have a diesel

 

How the heck do you get 16/17 mpg?
Is that hand calc'd or overhead?

Maybe something is wrong with my truck or the way I drive, but I get like 12-13.5 at the most. Hand calc'd.

About 30% of my driving is city. The rest is highway commute at about 70mph.

 

Yep that's right! 48.6 avg MPG to date...

 

what are ya'll whining about come and fill my big trucks up only cost 900 to fill the pete up and that fuel lasted 2.5 days

 

i am hearing rumors of the 2009 TDI's getting upper 50's


i have been trying to get in a TDI for the wife, but she wants 4wheel drive....maybe toyota will release their 4runner in diesel.


check out youtube. top gear took a diesel toyota Hilux and 4runner to the north pole, first ever to drive there. the videos are AMAZING, the stuff these vehilces can do is awesome.

here is part 5, its like 10 parts or something, if you have the time, watch it all, its worth it.

 

no thats not off my overhead, overhead reads anywhere from 18-20. ive come to see its approx 3 miles off so thats how i get my mpg. if it shows 20, i know im getting around 17... its not the most accurate but its **** close. as far as how... i keep my foot out of it, tires properly inflated, fluids at the right levels, smarty on a reasonable setting and just take my time.

 

there is no shortage of fuel , oil company's greed factor @ all time high

they have us by the ba*** products need to be shipped & delivered

oil company's are doing there share to slow down spending & further increasing the downside economy recession ..........

is our current top government in DC thinking ?

this suc** .................big time

 

I have to fill up tomorrow and I'm dreading it, 3.85 - 3.99 around here. A older honda civic sounds better and better everyday. My uncle has a 92' with a 5 speed, 40 mpg at 80 mph.

 

Why is diesel so high though? In CA fuel in general has always been higher. But, today diesel is high all across the country. Why now? Supply, plant down, ULSD? What is it? Or is it the typical, "just because?"
