beat this!!!!!
 

i am going to go postal one of these days .............how the hell does it take 45 dollars to fill up my 8?? i hate living in new york for this one simple fact, our gas prices are disgusting, just check out the pics of my fillup today.....can anyone beat that? :Eyecrazy:

That suck!!!! i guess we will all have to ride bicycles soon if this keeps up! :Eyecrazy:

That's what happens when the guy in charge is an oil man. I'm actually looking to trade mine in. When gas is going up like this, all those little things that are usually tolerable (squeaky brakes, mystery rattles, luke warm a/c...etc, etc, etc) just push me over the top.

Probably will be $4 / gallon by end of summer. MAKE IT STOP !!!!!!
Hell, if they go up to $10 / gallon we'd probably still buy it.

Note to all petroleum executives: Just kidding about the $10 / gallon thing.

i loooove my 8, but they are even talking about gas prices in ny to go up to 4.40 a gallon in like 3 months, i really cant imagine paying 55.00 every 4 days......

if price hits 3.50 for me, i will stop driving my 200 miles a week. lol

i drive to work 45 miles a day roundtrip, i depend on my 8, now im gonna be forced to get a beater for the work week

i guess they should start digging more in Alaska, so we don't have to depend so much on middle eastern oil!

I just paid $3.16 a gallon for premium. I think that's the last premium I buy for awhile now.

It's getting bad in New Jersey also, at least I got 290 miles out of that tank.

with prices like these they need to have a consierge service

Well in NJ Self Self is against the law so that $40 tank was served to me.

not in ny, i had to get my lazy ass out my 8, deal with the rude ass middle eastern cashier, and than while pumping my gas, watch out if anyone is gonna steal my rims again (see other post for more info lol)

Thats about what we are paying here in Southern California for good gas (chervron), cheap gas is around $3.00 (arco)

Move to Canada, then you'll really be able to whine about it.

My last fill up was at $45.5. Didn't think about taking a pic...

Yeah really, we in Canada will more than likely be paying more than $5/gallon this summer. People have been paying almost $10/gallon in Hong Kong for a really long time. Do you guys feel better?

sounds fair by chicago standards

anyways i hear 3.50-4 for the summer with some freaks speculating as high as 6 .. then future projections of 10-12 .. this is all on paper in one place or another .. mostly i look ms money .. yahoo finance and few other sites

while i dont see the 6 bucks this summer i think this is achievable in near future as eu and other countries hit that easily .. 3.50 is already here and 4 is probably where were gonna be for the summer

parting out your 8s in light of this .. feel free to send me a pm .. HAH

AND....We have a shit load of oil! What's the deal with that!!?!

10 in hongkong?!?!?! god damn!!

That is something I don't understand as well. Alberta has been cranking out huge amounts of that black gold, and Newfoundland is slowly catching up as well, but Albertans don't see the price any lower than the rest of Canada.

You sure? That's like 80 hong kong dollars. If they need ten gallons in their fill up, they might as well get out a check.

I try not to get too worked up about the cost of gas. I know the price changes a lot so it gets people worked up, not to mention it's what fuels our automobiles (which we love).

But I don't have sympathy for whiners because it is part of the cost of ownership. Just like you wouldn't buy an RV, a Ferrari or a boat if you couldn't afford the upkeep and cost to operate, same goes for a RX-8.

If your 8 is a daily driver and you are cussing out the poor gas mileage, that's really your own fault. There are other options out there.

Now Exxon-Mobil making all those obscene profits is another story, and a discussion I don't want to start. But we all know through the media every single day where gas prices are headed. So no one should actually act surprised or have any real reason to complain.

The real question is, how will you react? Personally, I am still comfortable with the current pricing, and if it gets people to be a little more smart about their usage, then I think it's a great thing. (flame on...)

my thoughts exactly. i knew what i was getting into when i bought it. hell i was even looking at getting a car much worse on gas at the time. i just put gas in when it needs it, and i'm done. while i'd like it to be cheaper, like i said, i knew what i was getting into, and i knew prices would inevitibly go up.

It was over $12.XX/Litre 2 years ago when I was there. $6.50 HKD = $1 CDN. So with the currency exchange and litre to gallon conversion it works out to roughly $7.50/gallon USD. Mind you that was 2 years ago.
