$5.58 (Imperial Gallon) up here in northern British Columbia already (up from $4.90).

Kind of takes the fun out of going for a drive...

the whole "gas prices are going to go to 5 bucks a gallon" is marketing through fear..they want you to buy gas as fast as possible, so they can rake in the money...gas is high right now because libya isen't producing alot of crude, and iraq's largest is shut down so refinerys here are putting a choker on the prices to make a large short run profit before they are forced to lower the price....protesting won't do dick, not pumping gas for a day won't do dick either...its a matter of rolling with it and keep an eye on the price of crude per barrel(if it lowers, fuel prices will lower within a week)

Im looking for a Cavalier as of now. The truck will probably only be used to go to work and back (4 miles round trip), and to haul the fourwheelers or anything else I need. Any other trips will be with the car.

Gas prices in Ottawa today are around 1.22litre (4.61 US gallon). Diesel is about the same.

I don't drive my truck daily, I have a Buick Lasabre for that. It's not a small car by any means, but it's smaller than my 3500HD. ;)

well, prices keep creeping up, and that is making me wonder, what will we do when prices hit $5 a gallon? Please vote in the poll.

 

 

Just dont know if its worth buying a little car unless maybe you have a long daily commute. If you get a beater for 1500, then all the fees, registration, insurance, upkeep ect ect...in a years time are you really saving anything?

They won't be that high for long as an increase in fuel prices to that proportion will just drive this country right back into a recession. Until then, I'll suck it up seeing as how my daily commute is less than 5 miles.......total.

I already bought a 2000 cavalier about 4 weeks ago. Been driving on a tank now for about 3 weeks now and still little under 1/4 tank left. I will mainly use my truck to haul the bikes to the drag strip this summer and to cruise on the weekend or go on long trips.

In April of 08, I bought a 2000 Toyota Echo, or as I call it, "the Clown Car". I have a 65 mile per day commute, so the 17 mpg in the Silverado was costing me about $400 per month.

 

Still drive that car every day, it has more than paid for itself in gas savings alone (38 mpg). Went from 25,000 miles per year on the truck to about 7,000 per year.

 

Still use the truck for long trips, or taking the kids around, like the safe feeling of the truck on the highway.

      New car smell air freshener

      By Thanusdoss · Posted

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
