Replying to: qbrozen (May 29, 2008 7:51 am) Of course, I noted that gas had been under $1.50/gal just the year before, and there was no reason it couldn't be back there again by the next year..nothing material had changed.. just wait and see.. yada, yada, yada.. Nostradamus... I'm not..

Replying to: kyfdx (May 29, 2008 8:42 am) For the hartford area average retail price over the past two years looks like this. June of 2006 we start out at around 3.00 dollars a gallon but drop down to a low of 2.23 a gallon by the end of October. Normal bump up in the winter because of the switch to make heating oil then touches 2.23 a gallon again in Feburary 2007. The price his 3.00 dollars again in June of 2007 but drops back down to around 2.80 by October 2007. The price goes back up over 3.00 dollars a gallon by the end of November then hovers just over or just under 3.00 dollars a gallon for the rest of the winter. By March of 2008 the price is well over 3.00 dollars a gallon and by the middle of April it is over 3.50 a gallon. From that point on it is nearly straight up to now where the price stops at 4.20 a gallon. EDIT: Hey cool the chart came out I was afraid it wouldn't work on this forum.

| Yesterday I drove my mother-in-law's Mazda6 V6 to and from work. WIth its cheap interior, coarse engine, and disappointing handling, I was more than ready to get back in my trusty old BMW today. Today, it is really hot and here in Birmingham and it will only get worse. As I sweated profusely on the way back from lunch, I began to ponder why I drive a black convertible with a black top and a marginal air conditioner in such an environment. The Mazda6 still doesn't appeal to me, but something sportier with four seats, a manual transmission and a strong ac might catch my attention at this point. | |

The Mazd6 I-4 was on my short list. My company is thinking about going to company cars and we can pick from the following UAW list link title The main criteria are it gets 24mpg on the EPA combined mileage and be under $22k., althoug we may be ableto make up anything that goes over. My top choices are Corolla, Mazda6, Aura and the Malibu.
