perhaps, but it's simple econ. people will drive less, shift to hybrid or electric cars, ride bikes etc.

i definitely don't just get into a car and drive somewhere like it's free (was a little more like that 10 yrs ago)

You're being ripped off on alcohol, bottled water, juice, and soda.

No offense guys, but your whining about the current 4-5 US$ per gallon is just cute.

I filled up yesterday for 8,45 US$ per gallon.
Gotta love the good olī europe fossil fuel tax-rape.
But if I could not afford this I would own a small diesel car. Or ride my bicycle to work.

If a price increase of 30% for fuel does effect your financial situation that hard, you should reconsider if driving a "premium" brand vehicle is the right thing for you.

I don't think anyone is "whinning" we are just commenting on the fast increase in price. Yet you guys post with pride that you overpay for gas lmao.

This is the reason to have a Harley or some other 2 wheeler. Fill ups are only $12 and it lasts 200 miles. Living in the south FTW

One downside to such a short commute is that your car's engine doesn't get up to operating temperature before it is shut off again.

I think Comet should inform the boards how much he pays over in Beirut...that should send all the haters into a tailspin about how much they are getting ripped off.
