gas going up to $4.00/gallon!

[jdb4950]

just to let you guys know that gas may end up at just $4.00 a gallon this summer...will that effect you get a gti or just keep driving the one you have?

 

[trevor]

uh.. GTI's get a good gas mileage

and if it goes to 4$ a gallon

I'm going to kill someone.

It's not like it's an SUV. I can get 30 mpg highway and mid-20s in town. I'll drive less and maybe get on it a little less often, but no other changes.

Personally, I think it's a tough pill to swallow, but if it gets people thinking about ways to consume less and spur new technologies, I'm all for it.

Remember when everyone freaked out over $2.00 a gallon?? hahaha, the good ol' days...

Highest Ive paid for 93 octane so far was 3.22/gallon . $41 bucks to fill up! And so far in the month of April, I've refilled 7 times. Yikes! Thankfully my company will end up reimbursing me for 75% of my gas expenses since most of the driving I do is work related.

This is absolutely insane. Really burns me up.

yea i can remeber my dad paying 67 cents/gallon about 7 years ago in jersey when two gas stations had a price war...now jersey's lowest price is like 2.70 for regluar...all i can say is that we still have it better than most countries in the world.

haha i remember a few months ago it got back down to 1.80 in southwest va...i was flipping a shit! it's sad, coz 3.00/gallon is now going to be the new 1.00/gallon from now on...maybe even higher...

 

[commuter]

It's already approx. US $4.00/gal around here in Vancouver.

 

[coolme187]

what sucks even more is that here in the capital area, ethanol is being added to the fuel.

Can the GTI's run on E83? I read in an article in Car and Driver that it takes 1.5 gallons of E83 to = the 1 MPG of regular unleded! So in theory we will need larger fuel tanks because of the decreas in travel distance. :thumbdown:

We are currently paying more than 7$ per gallon (98 octane) in Germany...

 

[GTI2007]

We pay here in Belgium $ 6.50/gallon for 98 octane.

 

[DBCPerformance]

I paid right over $3.00 mark yesterday, sucks. But i guess we have to get used to this. All those poor Suburban owners....
