Are you hurting yet with 3.99/gal gas? Diesel 4.99.

TBH, I'm real tempted to hop into a RAV-4.

If you cant afford an extra $20 to fill up you should probably buy a kia forte

I don’t think gas can get high enough to
Make me want to “hop into a Rav 4”.

Fuel expenses are the least of the high
Prices I’m paying that bothers me. Groceries, utilities, insurance premiums piss me off far more.

You’re going to finance a vehicle because of temporary high gas prices?

It that all? My low-MPG truck has a premium fuel calibration for the supercharger.

I don’t own anything that gets over 18mpg and they all need at least premium or e85 so Ive taught myself not to look at the total costs and just ignore it.

I feel great with our gas prices here. Just got back from San Diego and gas is $7/gal.

Mind sending me $100 a month? Oh wait… I have three drivers. How about $300 a month?

It's crossed my mind many times that I should be driving my wife's car regularly.
She doesn't drive much and it gets twice if not more than double my mpg.
I even mentioned it to my buddy the other day, but I ended with, frick that, I hate that pussy car.
So to answer your question, it's got to get a lot worse before I switch to something else

Not picking on you Cosmo, but it’s difficult to miss when Obama/Biden’s terms had higher gas prices it was all the rage.

Now, it seems like folks are saying “man up if it’s a few extra bucks.”

Just cover my extra $20 a fill up. It’s easy, just like you said.

They rise in fuel prices has coincided with an attempt to drive a little more patiently.

It's a wash most days.

Most people on here drive Cybertrucks so gas is not an issue.
