It was $3.29 when I filled up today. One year ago I could fill the gas tank in my 1997 Toyota Tacoma for $25 now it costed me $43(.) That TDI Jetta that I really really want just looks more and more appealing to me everytime I fill up.

It was 1.75 on the east coast somewhere.

Ordered my 2006 smart fortwo pulse cdi a few weeks ago... I get it in January (5 months backordered). I can't wait! Already got the rack for my snowboard.





Heated seats, A/C, glass roof, shifter paddles! Def. lookning forward to the $15 fillups.

So you bought a car that's all the way down in Arizona? Are you planning on flying down there to drive it back or are you having it shipped up?

Nope, looks just like that one and I got it in Tacoma.

CDI smart car... what kind of milleage does that baby get?

Congrats on the new purchases to both Iain and Bill.

Yesterday I put in my first 5 gallons of veggie oil and the second 5 today. In the next 3 weeks i will have $9 fill-ups

I get 12 miles to the gallon... *Ouch!*

Geez, that's going to make a dent. My $9 will get me 375 miles. Also less harmful emissions and all that jazz.

Holy crap, your new truck only makes 12 mpg Bill? That's worse than my Tahoe which makes 18 mpg.

I would suggest going out and buying some performance upgrades like a better air filter and spark plugs. Also, keep your tires fully inflated because if you don't, there's more friction with the road which will cause your car to use up more gas.

Its has an onboard computer that measures my tire pressure (even the spare) and will notify me when one gets out of range. :)

Awesome truck Bill!!

Filled up today... $72.25 *OUCH!*

Most people I know who have smart cars only drive them in the summer. They are not really a winter car. They are fine for running around congested Euroupean cities as a grocery getter but not much else. Just my 2 cents.

Holy CRAP! I filled my truck the other day for $65 CDN!!

Why would you drive your bus for recreational use?

CDL Class b with the p2 and air brakes.

I can Drive it anywhere in state. I'm not allowed to drive it out of state til i'm 21.

Weird. The restrictions and classifications are nationally set, and states are bound by the national regulations. What Colorado law states you cannot drive out of the state? I would like to see that one. No laws in Washington put limits on the national regulations.



Does Six Flags have a big enough employee lot for you to park your double accordion bus in?
