Gas Prices are High... its obvious

hc806 · 04-26-2008, 07:51 PM

i never get gas anymore until the light for the gas comes on... but this time my car really took it LOL.. and i was actually scared LOL... so here is the first time it happened to me like this...

and here is another time like a week later which was like yesterday... =/ this time rushing to the gas station... think the car was starting to smell duno why... maybe cuz my engine is running on low gas

but i guess im not doing that anymore... or hopefully gas prices will lower again then this will never happen again LOL...

its bad to make it run that low...

specially since your engine will be sucking all the rust/dirt/debris at the bottom of your tank, from your local gas station pump tank.

but yeah i just filled up at shell today.. and good lord it was $3.9x per gallon

***sh33t_0f_p4p3r*** · 04-26-2008, 07:54 PM

i think the fit for me would be a bigger money pit, cuz from the money we would save from the montly payments alone would go into it, but htats just me lol.

get a scangauge - can give you an idea of how much you have left when the light comes on etc.

hc806 · 04-26-2008, 08:43 PM

never heard of that before... wats a scan guage?

Cr8tive_leo · 04-26-2008, 08:53 PM

You have a R18, you're good for gas, be thankful you don't have a K20xx and have to use premium!

Scan gauge just gives you the data from your ecu, voltage, fuel consumption, etc. etc.

It's the 'IN' gadget.

Maybe higher gas prices is what North America needs so that our economy becomes more like Europe. I mean in the sense that since gas prices are very high in Europe, people drive much less there and use diesel instead of gasoline. This should encourage more people to do some exercise so that obesity becomes less of an issue...

Don't get me wrong I'm against these high prices, but we can't control these soaring prices. We will just have to find other alternatives or choose to drive less. Also, our cars are very economic so if anything we should be lucky compared to other drivers out there who get even less mpg than us.

I've had my gauge go down to no bars at all at least twice since I got the car. Then, when I filled up, I only put 42L. Where the heck are the other 8L in the tank, I don't know.

msjdmlove · 04-28-2008, 09:54 AM

gas will never go down.

we will never see $2 gas again
we'll be seeing $4 from now on probably.
