Well I live in PA and I just got my RX8 2 weeks ago. Lately the gas prices have been rising everyday. I just say 2day on my way home from school that they are now a $2.65/gal for premium 93 octane. To me I feel this is ridiculous. Especially on a car that doesn't get that great gas mileage(17 or so). I'm used to a Mitsubishi Eclipse that got gr8 mileage now I just feel we are getting ripped off with gas prices raising. What is your gas prices around your area and how do you feel toward the skyrocketing prices?
Thanx

 

Personally, I had a pretty good idea about what kind of gas mileage my car was going to get when I bought it, and I knew what gas prices do, so I've never really worried about it. If you buy a sports car, knowing that very few get "good" mpg, you can't complain about gas prices.

 

This isn't a gas mileage thread. He's complaining about gas prices in general. I agree, gas prices are pretty insanely high right now. Is it all because of that Esso refinery?

 

cali is selling 3.08 to 3.48 now, and it's not even warm yet.

 

Yeah this isnt' a gas mileage thread I knew the gas mileage before I got the car I knew that gas prices rise I was just asking what other people thought about them and how much their prices around their area was.

 

haha 2.65 at some places here 2.89 will get you 89 gas and its not summer prices yet

 

Word. I paid 3.08 this morning in the San Jose area for 87. Seems like it's gone up about 50 cents in the last 3 or 4 weeks.

 

Gas prices don't bother me. 7 bucks to fill up a tank for a week.

 

How are you only paying 7 dollars to fill up your tank and have it last you for a week. Unless u don't drive. haha

 

Does your RX8 run ok on 87 I'm afraid to put it in then have problems? Just wondering.

 

I like gas.

 

Whenever I put gas into my car, I think of Bush and his *members*, for what they did to us.

NY is about 2.7 - 3.0 right now.

 

I sold my 8 for a motorcycle :p

 

It's a massive hosing. Prices are still dropping per barrel, yet at the pump it's increasing. Welcome to the world of big business. Just buy stock in a few oil companies and be done w/it.

"Does your RX8 run ok on 87 I'm afraid to put it in then have problems? Just wondering."

Plenty of answers to this already . . . yawn.

 

$2.65 isn't that bad...considering.

Last summer we were in the 3's.

What really turns my crank is the $0.75 Snickers bars in the vending machines at work!!! 75 cents! Frickin' ridiculous.

 

$2.32 for 93 octane here in Austin, TX.

 

Up down up down. Seems like a constant cycle lately.

Low 2.80's for 91 at ARCO right now.

 

I paid $2.75/gal. for premium this morning. That's $0.10 more per gallon that I paid the last time I filled it roughly one week ago.

Oil companies have figured out that they can charge obscene amounts for gas in the US and people will pay for it. I don't ever see the cost of premium dipping below $2/gal. in the Seattle area again.

Meanswhile oil companies continue to report record profits. Makes me wish I owned a big oil field.

 

Some people put Olive Oil in there. Not sure if it works or not.

Im serious.

 

Gas prices are like the weather - everybody talks about it, but nobody can do anything about it!
I don't really pay much attention to the prices. I have to have it so there's no point in worrying about it.

 

i get gas fo free....i own a gas station

 

Since everyone is posting gas prices, I paid $2.45 for Amoco 93 in Virginia Beach today.

 

Living in SE PA, whenever I go to New Jersey I try to get there on fumes. Southern NJ gas prices are 20-25 cents less per gallon than Philly. Combination of not having oxygenated winter fuels and (mostly) the lower gas taxes in Jersey. Right now we are in the $2.32 range for 87 octane and +/- 20 cents more for 93.

 

Man, you guys got nothing to be whining about. It's $3.09/gallon of premium here in Orange County.

 

Sorry, I don't have an RX8. I am still a poseur for now!

The Camry loves it btw
