So far I've spent $165 this month on gas. That's only in my bikes. And they get 47-70 mpg. Gas went up another nickel today. It's over $3.60 now. 6 weeks ago I was at Walmart Gas station and the previous fillup was $200, 53 gallons of diesel. It had to be a big truck.
I can get $14-16 in a tank in my bikes, now. That's only 4-5 gallons. Our car is usually 10-12 gallons ( only 1/2-3/4 empty) and $40! Linda fills up a couple times a month.
My little 400 gets 65-75 mpg in the pic. I should drive it more but it's not a road bike for hi-way speeds. It usually takes 2 gallons (125 miles) $7 now was $3.50
Diesels costs $4.15 here. A friends Chevy diesel pick up takes over $100, not empty.
I really feel sorry for the poor. Just trying to get to work and shopping could break them. I saw a $5 fillup, They got 1.4 gallons is all. In the city that's maybe 2o miles?
Jim mentioned a friend of his that drives over 30,000 miles a year, thats $5000 per year for work. Why isn't he using his phone more?
SUV's: Saw one last weekend pulling a 20 ft trailer. It was an Excursion, probably gets 8 mpg and a 40 gallon tank. Even at 30 gallons x $3.60= >$100 every 240 miles! Our old RV did this too. I used to bitch when we put in 25 gallons at $1.79= $45
And the gas companies are making billions in profits, and our President (who owns a petrol co.) is doing nothing!
Crude oil was over $125 a barrel. Could go to $200, gas will be $5-6-7 per gallon then! But my 5% rebates keep going up too on my Credit Card, gee thanks.
