With premium gas potentially hitting $8+/gallon by Summer, is anyone regretting buying a 14 mpg pseudo Baja truck? No politics, please!

They're about to need new signs with four digits

Don’t give them ideas

When gas went above $1/gallon (yes, I’m old enough to remember, but not THAT old), many gas stations didn’t have the right advertising boards.

What did they do? They began advertising the cost for 1/2 gallon!

Beware…when premium hits $10+/gallon….if you see $5, make sure it’s a whole gallon!

Yeah. She asked why I bought a 90k truck and I remind her of her quote that inspired me on the RHO journey. I could have been in a 50k EV with a $50/month electric bill, and probably in a forum with a bunch of dudes from California. I like it here much better. As I filled up my tank for $125 today.

For those wondering about gas mileage, and ethanol.

Fear mongering. That will never happen.

Are there any aftermarket caps to lock our fuel tank?

Glad to have Hybrid and EV options! I do consider mpg when purchasing sports cars and other high performance vehicles. I would not buy if the mpg is less than 12. Sad to see self inflicted gas price increase.

One time back in the late 1980'3 I asked a friend who just brought a corvette what the gas milage was. He said, "if you are worried about gas millage you don't deserve to drive it."

Such a macho, devil-may-care response. Just proves the question hit home. If you need that kind of “logic” to justify your purchase…

Why not just say “12 MPG”.

A great response in the late 80s would have been, “12 MPG!?! Dang, hope you enjoy that 180HP Vette motor!”

Corvettes actually get great gas mileage lol. I've owned one since the 1990s and all have gotten great mpg. If your friend was getting 2mpg, he would have had a different response.

paid under $50 filling the tank today.. well yea, it was a compass, but still happy

 

[BigBo5342]

No regrets! Drive the damn thing

 

[MurderedCat]

$4.99/gallon and the gas light was on. Dang woman didn’t pump gas and just made it home when the light turned on. I don’t like letting it get to E ever, you know debris bottom of the tank clogs stuff up wives-tale our dads told us.

I fill up at half tank so it doesnt hurt as bad lol.
