if prices keep going up im gonna have to poke holes on the floor of my 8 and Flinstone it to work!

 

I've been paying around $7 to $8.50 a gallon of gas for the last 2 years with my RX8 here in Germany and I still am not considering getting something else.

 

It is just sick knowing that these gas companies are getting away with raping us of our hard earned money. They know we will pay and they take advantage. I think all these reasons they toss around on the T.V. and papers are all BS. The Are Greedy.

 

Apparently some 1 in 20 gas pumps in Canada are faulty. Delivering less gas than stated. So the government is increasing the fine for it and also increasing more spot-checks.

 

I've heard that in some areas of the US, the percentage of pumps that are uncalibrated is much higher.

 

I will not sell it for the price of fuel.

 

I think a lot of the gas complaints with this car always came down to range, not MPG, and that's from the first day these cars were delivered. The MPG is really not bad, especially for the performance the car gives. One of the earlier posters here said he wish he bought a Prius instead.

Go for it.

 

For me it's not a gas mileage thing per say as I knew that going in. I get 18-20mpg which is alright. It’s just that I never really expected gas prices to increase by 80% in two years time.

I'll probably sell my RX8 in 2010 regardless for something new, just because I'll want something else. I will be factoring in fuel costs for my next purchase. I may still say F'it and get whatever but now fuel economy, never really a thought before is added to the list of things to consider.

Bad times, foreclosures are way up, repos too, middle-class families going to food banks, makes yah think.
