2.16 would be a bargain in NorCal.

Be glad you are not filling up a nice big SUV.

The best mpg I ever got out the Tahoe was 17, and it had a 31 gallon tank.

My Diesel SuperDuty is 38. Funny thing, it gets about the same fuel economy as my 8

At those rates, it'd cost me $220.00 to fill up my RV with premium. Good thing it takes regular.

I get upset whenever I have to pay over $20.00 for gas... then again I've got a Civic. I did have to put 22.50 in it yesterday at $2.14/gal. Good 'ol 35 mpg... crappy performance. I figure somewhere there's a nice equalibrium in there... not sure where though... hmmm

There is. It's called electric cars. If you find a good enough motor, you get really good power 100% of the time. None of this "getting up to my power band" stuff. That is why the Prius has 295 foot pounds of torque at 0 - 1,200 rpms (I reckon 1,200 is where the electric motor switches for the engine?).

If you have the spare change, you might want to look into the tzero. By spare change, I mean "could afford a ferrari."
