Saving Money On Gas

Tell your husband that the new Tundra won 2008 Motor Trend Truck of the Year and that it's not a car, it's an airplane. As soon as you put your foot on the gas, it goes 50 mph. The engine sounds nice too. These are some things that women will never appreciate ;)

I've been trying to avoid driving my car quite as much even though it gets pretty good gas mileage. I bought at the cheapest station I could find here in Portland, Oregon, a couple of days ago and it was $3.63

yes honda civic is a good choice but honda city is much fuel efficient.Its quite economic also, i am having it and have no complains regarding efficiency.

I don't have a car that runs on compressed natural gas...but I have a 2006 toyota corolla and my car gets about 30 miles to the gallon. I have a good gas mileage for my car. I'm going to get a fuel injector for my car to make the mileage get better. And where would you get natural compressed gas?

Okay I just paid $4.13 a gallon for REGULAR gas...I can't believe I actually paid OVER $4.00 a gallon!!! I live in LA (well actually Pomona but close enough

) and the gas station by my house (ARCO) has just topped the $4.00/gal price for the first time ever and I am REALLY TRIPPIN'!!

My little Toyota Corolla gets 31 mpg but still...this is getting ridiculous! Oil prices are dropping but the gas prices keep going UP UP UP!

Sorry guys I am just venting this morning.

Even though I have a subaru, I am still not driving so much anymore. I plan my trips and errands within my work schedule. I have managed to save myself about 200 bucks a month. Does anybody remember when you could get gass for 88 cents a gallon. I can't believe it was only a few years ago!

Well I don't remember the 88 cents but I do remember putting $5 in my car and it used to let me ride for a while. Putting in $20 was like saying someone had big money to spend. Gas by my house is now $4.55 per gallon, so I dont make trips too much either eldarwen.

Three of my summer vacation trips consists of tour bus and greyhound. I wanted to sight see and save on gas. I have a Toyota Camry, and it is a 6 cylinder, so I can only afford to put $40 in my car at a time, which barely give me 1/2 tank.

Well, in the Bainbridge area (near Cleveland) I think when Clinton was in, there was some really cheap gas and it was only 88 or 90 cents a gallon.

**RivasGlo** · June 15th, 2008, 09:48 PM

88 cents! Wow... I do not remember that.. I just remember like 4 yrs ago when it was my Junior yr in high school, putting like 10 bucks in my honda civic and it would ride forever!!!!!!!! 15-20 bucks max it would fill her up!

I put gas today and it was at $3.93/gallon... I was running on E and it took 33 bucks to fill her up... Its not THAT bad compared to others... Now my husbands mustang... THATS ANOTHER STORY. That car hasnt moved in weeks! ;)

Gas in LA right now is around $4.60. Just filled up my truck the other day and it filled up for $70 and there was about a quarter of a tank in there. I will be going to the gas station again in the next 3-4 days.
