Replying to: explorerx4 (Apr 09, 2006 5:26 pm) Hey Iluvmysephia, How ya doing? Long time no see. I haven't been around in here for the last 2 years, but I'm back again. My 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe now has over 103,200+ miles on it and it's still going good. |

that's right, you got the Santa Fe around when I got my '01 Sportage. Whoa...now there ya go, I've been here since then pretty much constantly, though when I was going to college in Missouri from summer 2003 to late spring 2005 it was much harder to find the time for Edmunds. Homework, don't ya know! Yeah, I'm around 110,900 miles on the Sportsman and she's runnin' like a champ. I, in my car nutzery, am looking for a more gas miserly rig, like a 2006 Kia Rio LX sedan or a 2007 Toyota Yaris, but I'm always looking and probably won't pull the trigger 'cause I don't really need to and my better half doesn't wanna part with the Sportage. I love to try different rigs out, though. Nice to talk to you again and don't be a stranger to this place, OK? Are ya stayin' with your Santa Fe or tradin' anytime soon, gtgt? Do you get wooed by new rigs often, too? Oh, and in keeping with the title of this thread, I'm sorry you're paying such high ghastly prices there in Mass. Yikes. That is truly worthy of the name ghastly when it costs such ghastly amounts as that. We are spoiled over here in the high desert. |

...maybe it's time to cosider that pert little Cobalt coupe. Mom has an Aveo. Caliber looks cool. Sunoco at Rhawn and Verree: Regular = $2.65 Silver = $2.75 Super = $2.85 Ultra = ? I have been driving the '88 Park Ave exclusively. Thursday is my girlfriend's birthday, so I guess I take the Seville out that night. I was listening to 101.5 out of New Jersey this morning and the DJ was talking about gasoline being $4 a gallon by summer. I can see it happening. Early August last summer, regular was $2.43 a gallon. My girlfriend and I took her LaCrosse for our vacation as it was the most fuel-efficient vehicle in the fleet. Now, regular is $2.65 a gallon. The highest I paid was $3.05 for Ultra at its peak around last October.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/08/business/08gasoline.html Whining about (what else?) gas prices! The print copy even had my photo, it was the top story in the Business section, and my quote appeared on the front page, which was cool. My photo was on page 7, inside, in B&W. Had me driving and my son in the back. -juice

2.59 for reg 2.69 for mid 2.79 for prem at the discount (i.e. QT, RaceTrac) stores. Name brands are about a nickel above that. In a word..."nuts" |

...the Seville was my everyday car until I got the Park Ave. I usually alternate the cars every week/2 weeks, but with the psychopathic pump prices, I decided to drive the more fuel-efficient Park Ave that is happy on rotgut regular. For a real special-occassions car, see my 1989 Cadillac Brougham. Girlfriend's car has the garden-variety 3.8 V-6. If she listened to me, she'd have a CXS with the 3.6, but she tends to be a cheapskate sometimes. She's not an enthusiast.

An interesting article; if I were a betting man, I would bet that some event whether storm, war, or terrorism will trigger panic in the markets. http://www.marketwatch.com/News/Story/Story.aspx?guid=%7B04DAEDEF%2D97C7%2D42C0%- - 2DAFC9%2D151E2E3D2981%7D&siteid=mktw&dist= I would suggest to those of you bothered by higher fuel prices, that you change your lifestyle being centered around the auto.
