kelpdiver 2 #26 March 29, 2005 Quotei did the same last yr.. but i dont save 150$ a month!. I think if you add the cost to insure and then $ from gas saved. It's probably costing me 100$/ yr. still worth it for the easy of parking around chicago streets when i go out $300+ in tires every 7500 miles versus $600 every 75000 also eats away, along with the required premium gas. I'm buying time in the day, and my sanity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,070 #31 March 29, 2005 I got a 2005 Prius a few weeks ago and modified it so it stays in EV-only mode for as long as possible. A few days ago I managed to drive from home to work in pure EV mode - no gas used at all. Not all that useful yet, since there's no external charger, so when I drive home the gas engine starts and recharges the battery. But once I can figure out how to put an AC charger on the traction battery, my gas usage (for local trips at least) should go down to zero. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #32 March 29, 2005 Quotebut it don't do you a damn bit of good if you turn around and put $150 worth of radios, sheet metal and assorted crap on your bike every month... No doubt! I've spent a lot on customizing my bike this month...So far I'm up to $10 and I have a new sissybar...$6 for 6' of 1/2" cold rolled steel, $3 for some paint and a couple hours of my time to bend the steel and do some welding.Man I wish I could spend $150 a month on metal and such to do all the things I'd like to do.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Foursprouts 0 #35 March 30, 2005 OH MY GOD, I can't beleive you are complaining about the price of gass in the US. I live in england and here it really sucks. About 90p a liter thats $1.62 a liter and yes there are about 4 liters to the gallon so that makes it a FU**ING INCREDIBLE $6.48 A GALLON. I am going to start riding a bike to work as food is cheaper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrumpySmurf 0 #38 March 30, 2005 Think 87 oct is 2.09 a gallon here in SE Minnesota - have to use 92 in the bike, and I think it was like $7 to fill it up after 3 days of riding around and one 70 mile trip. Wasn't it like a buck a gallon back in '99 or something? Time to invade Canada, eh? They got some oil up dere Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slurp56 0 #40 March 30, 2005 I paid a little over $2.80/gal in Edmonds, WA a couple weeks back, but its typically $2.30-$2.40 in WA. Never costs me more than $20 to fill the tank and I've been getting around 450Km to the tank, whatever that works out to be. I love my CRX :)________________________________________ I have proof-read this post 500 times, but I guarantee you'll still manage to find a flaw.
