I was guessing before but i asked my parents and it was a 1981 VW Rabbit. It ran diesel but it did get something like 62MPG highway. I know my uncle was a big muckity muck with VW back then before he started doing PR work for Porsche in the mid 80's (cha ching), so it may have even been a European import. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 8:08am - the_reverend ""] 53.21 a couple days ago... when the gas was 3.89. now it's 4.0m! wtf!! |

These car companies are passing off these cars with "OH MY GOD 40+ MPG" as being revolutionary and new. I'm not to young to remember my parents late 70's era VW rabbit that got over 60MPG. That's 40 year old technology. What the hell is going on right now? We should be driving 400 horse, 12 cylinder super cars that get over 100mpg. But instead we brag to each other about our tiny little hybrids that get a miracle 35mpg. Of course i drive an exploder and get 16mpg so i have no room to complain but still....a tiny car should get good gas milage. Rev does the car you drive come in a non-hybrid version? I bet it gets like 32mpg which is freakin stupid because tiny non-hybrids should be getting at least 50 while a hybrid version should be up in the 70's. It just seems so stupid that people go ape shit for a car that gets anything higher than 30mpg when if cars were build right and the technology advances that i'm sure we've had were actually put into cars, i'm sure we'd have 100+ MPG by now. He's right. wow, 50 whole miles to the gallon. A regular diezel does better then that. and costs like less then half of that to buy. The VW Lupo was rated at about 80 miles to the gallon in 2005 and cost over 10 grand less then the prius in 2005 Same story with the ford fiesta, which was cabable of going 125-135 miles an an hour, and would accelerate 0 to 60 in the amount of time it takes you to admire someone's fucking 'coexist' sticker. |

| _______________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 11:43am - the_reverend ""] um.. gas stations are the losers in this. they make pennies on a gallon, but since you pay with a CC now the amount that the CC takes (which is based on dollars) goes up while the margines goes down. the ones making the moneys are the people in the middle-east pumping it and the big companies that ship it over here and refine it. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 11:49am - the_reverend ""] 1) diesel is $4.88 a gallon (18% more than regular) 2) non-hybrid gets around 33mpg, I get 44mpg and it only cost $2,800 more but I also got a $2,000 tax break. When I did the math, it broke even around $2.85 a gallon. with gas at $4.09, I win. with those 2 points, everyone in america iz idiots and everyone in the world wants to be like us, idiots. I'm bring my car in for regular tune ups and hoping it lasts for over 250K. there is no reason that we shouldn't have cars that do 1million miles other than that we iz idiots. |

IDIOTS! They did claim to have figures that proved that the added electricity used to charge these cars would still pollute/consume less than if the cars ran on gas (even if the plant was coal-fired). Then again, figures lie and liars figure. |

| __________________________________________ [Jun 12,2008 9:09am - HeavensJail_nli ""] I filled up this morning and when I pulled up to the pump the last sale was reading $100.00. Sure hope whoever it was is getting good mileage out of those 24 gallons. |

| _______________________________________ [Jun 12,2008 7:35pm - y_ddraig_goch ""] electric bikes ftw!!! or some kind of motorized bike for under 500 bucks would remedy this problem in cities. I sure can't wait for college when I won't have a car. and when I graduate I'm going to try to live withing a 30 minute walk of my job. Mark my words, 20 more years tops and cars will be obsolete dinosaurs. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 12,2008 8:03pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I was ready to kill a man when gas started getting even more ridiculously expensive than it was before, but now I'm feeling some relief since my boss is now paying me $.40 per mile that I drive to and from work, minus the first 20 miles. On average I drive 80-100 miles per work day, in a Toyota Corolla that gets 33-38 mpg. I fucking win on this one. If the gas wasn't so pricey I would never have gotten this benefit. To make it even better, I'm getting retroactive pay for all the mileage I've put on my car since April 28th. Fuck yeah. But, obviously gas prices are still retarded. Thank fucking Christ I have job security. |

Thank fucking Christ I have job security. http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=176030,00.html Actually $.40 is below the mileage rate for business miles -- I get the max which is $.505/mile. But then again, I get reimbursed for road trips (sales calls, etc.), not driving to and from the office from home, so that's a pretty good deal for you. Also, the mileage is supposed to cover gas, service and wear & tear. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jun 13,2008 11:10am - largefreakatzero ""] Also, your Corolla is making out much better than my Tundra Double-Cab. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 13,2008 11:43am - the_reverend ""] yeah, the .505 per mile actually means that I can't claim mileage on rttp this year cause I can't lose that much money. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 13,2008 7:56pm - immortal13 ""] Just got a Blazer a couple weeks ago, so I'm doing 20 MPG (if I don't drive like an asshole), and a bit over $60 to fill it up, and last time I filled it up prices were at $3.95/gallon. Last night they were at $4.05, didn't even see where they're at today. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 17,2008 1:23pm - the_reverend ""] prices came down a little. sweet life! |
