Originally Posted By: Chocolate Troll ^^ Nope, on the boat every weekend in the summer. So how many times do you fill up in one summer? (assuming you travel about the same distance per outing?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I've never filled up entirely, always about 3/4, and that lasts about 3 - 4 outings depending on how far we go and speed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Wayne, mileage is killer in cold water I only burned half a tank this weekend in the Lund and I ran from Weller to the Bar and back again then from Weller to Jordan then back to Weller on Sat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
oh hai 137.9 today 1.50+ by summer folks eat it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I remember when Humourless was saying he wants it to be $2/L so that there would be less people on the road. We are almost there and we know for certain gas prices =! impact on traffic AT ALL. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
^ yup! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Gassed up Friday night for the first time in three weeks. Made it about half-way to Waterloo before the light came on so I got a deal at $1.30 in the sticks. If I had made it all the way it was $1.25 in KW. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
You should see the lines at the costco gas station... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

||||||||
|

But I only fill up on weekdays - Costco is the worst place on earth on weekends. |

info re: top tier gas - http://www.toptiergas.com/ top tier gas really speaks to the additives that each retailer puts in their fuel as for Costco, last i checked, they have an agreement with Shell meaning they sell shell's refined products but not the nitrogen enriched shit that they advertise because that's done at the tank level |

Ive never heard it as being an ethanol free option. Quote: Q: Why does Costco gasoline contain ethanol? A: The federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 established the Renewable Fuels Standard, which required that a certain amount of ethanol be used in the nations' fuel supply. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 increased this amount. Kirkland Signature™ Gasoline complies with this law, and if our fuel contains ethanol a pump decal will advise you of that fact. There also seems to be huge debate as to where they actually get their gas. some suggest (and this seems logical) that ymmv locally and even then it could change weekly depending on what kind of arrangements are in place. ie: no guarantee its ethanol free. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Shell 91 and CT 91 are both advertised as ethanol free. Some Petro has ethanol free too. They have stickers on the pumps. Id think if they were full of $hit and being ethanol free, some RFD'r would be dragging their asses into court over false advertising. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
at petro, if the pumps doesn't do U94, the 91s are ethanol free since everything else is a blend of the basic and the highest grade done at the pump |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I only fill up at shell.. but i know its not 100% since most of the pumps are the same ones used for the lower grades. |

this goes beyond a long weekend bump... as do ALL the other energy costs(just announced today, hydro going up , even though the bulk of our power is nuclear. a bunch of radioactive rods sitting in water) |

Pulled up to the pump this morning. Last user was 132L of diesel for a total of $175. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I think I paid $1.25 for diesel the other day. It's only going to go down.. No complaints. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
let's hope so of note - Esso now has "supreme+" which is 93 octane. interdasting. |

I can stretch my BRZ to 575-600km on a tank. Maybe a little less now that I have to deal with rush hour on a daily basis. |

I don't even want to talk about my M. But the wife's volt is reDICKulos. Last time she filled up was end of feb and has put on 2200kms since. She has only used 10.9 litres so that is about 0.5L/100kms lmao. She's getting almost 70kms per charge now. Hydro has only gone up $30, what a joke. |

I feel like I've entered a CTRL+P debate |

1. It's the wifes car 2. Do you really think we care about impressing other fobs? LMFAO. Yes much impress with my '98 Civic on the driveway. 3. Yes the car is the same as the accent in everyway. 4. Slow as fuck? Have you driven one? Fuck I feel like I'm on RFD here. I trolled those idiots on a 18pg thread about the Corolla recently LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Nah never driven one, but I definitely like it. The only, ONLY reason people buy it is to save on gas or because they are hippies. Your wife may only fall into one of those two categories. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
LOL Saving gas is a benefit no doubt, but not the reason to buy a PEV that's for sure. |

if not gas savings, what is the primary reason? (serious question) |

The auto robs fuel economy. My ek hatch was auto and I was getting mid 8's and I drive like a grandpa. |

This was way back in my EG CX (Ignore auto cluster, it was manual) |

Originally Posted By: eddie _82 Pffttt Once you get the Volt out of electric mode it does worse than Euphoric's STi. Ok there troll. It's no hybrid on gas that's for sure. It's about the same as a civic. Too bad the volt is almost never out of electric mode since my wife drives 55kms daily Why are you such a sour puss? |

Wife hates gassing up the car and her driving is within the range of the Volt's battery. She wanted a car that had all the bells and whistles and this car comes pretty loaded vs. looking at a Audi/BMW/VW which she didn't like. I was trying to get her into a E91, but she didn't like it This is the most refined car I have ever driven. GM has done a really good job with it...only time will tell how the longevity is lol. She is able to use 404 HOV by herself for the time being and that cuts her commute by 20mins. So the last time she gassed up was Feb 28, she use to fill up once a week and hated doing it lol. Basically the Volt is good as long as you are within it's driving range but once it switches over to gas it eats just as much as a civic would. Is this car a good purchase for most people? Not likely IMO, but it does drive really nice and has gobs of torque available from a dead start. It's amazing how many people out there think that the Volt is a pure electric car. I've had a couple neighbours ask me about it and all thought that it was battery only. |

I've had a couple neighbours ask me about it and all thought that it was battery only. How much has your hydro bill increased since you got the car? I do a lot of stop and go driving (commute = 35 km one way) - so I'm wondering if this car will benefit me when it's time to ditch my current DD in a couple of years. There's also government discounts when buying an electric car, right? What does the Volt cost? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Volts base price is $37k. There is a $8230 rebate from the gov. Currently getting 70kms per charge. Hydro bill has gone up a whopping $35 for bi-monthly billing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
im driving a 2014 Ford Fusion Plugin since yesterday for another day or two....this is my excited face |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
^ let me know when you get a chance to play w/ the new Accord hybrid -- the Star (Wheels) article makes it seem interesting w/ the e-CVT and how little gas it (may) use. Originally Posted By: Hatorade Volts base price is $37k. There is a $8230 rebate from the gov. Currently getting 70kms per charge. Hydro bill has gone up a whopping $35 for bi-monthly billing. how many charges does that work out to, in 2 months? (cuz you said she doesn't drive much). 70km would mean i'd have to charge it every night; just wondering if it would save more compared to gas / diesel in the long run. oh and how's insurance compared to your shitvic / m3 ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The car plugged in everyday. She does a 55km round trip during the week. We charge the car during peak as well. Like Eddie says though how much gas will you need save to make up the premium paid lol. If buying solely for saving money you need to crunch some numbers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
i think i might have sold my father in law on the volt. he has a truck, and had to lend it to his brother so he took his jetta and was liking how it took no gas. then i told him about the volt and he was all for it. he very very rarely goes anywhere past 60kms. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
That would be within the volts range and outside of it during winter (-10) will put the range down to 50kms or so and depends how much heat you are using. If your FIL is serious about buying one, PM me. My wife has driven almost 4000kms and only 300kms of that has been on gas, so the battery range works for her. |

I spend about $90 / week in gas right now (premium, dude! premium! Winter I'm close to 15 L / 100km -- summer I've been good to keep it at 11-12 L / 100 km) -- My DD is a ticking time bomb - CPO will run out this August; just had a lot of the expensive replaced (fuel sending unit was cracked; all 6 injectors replaced; 1 ignition coil a few months before that); so hope that will last me another 60k km (total = 180k km). So I will be buying as a proper replacement, not so much just to save $. Hopefully the government rebate will still be around by then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I see. Well as a commuter car the volt is awesome sauce. Man fuck the N54, shit is nothing but a ticking time bomb. It's sad when the M3 is more reliable. |

The problem with a Tdi by comparison is you have to pay a considerable premium to get the actual car. The Roi could be longer than you have the car. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Compared to cars at the same price a TDI has a much lower cost of ownership. #CaptainObvious |

Truth be told tho, good on your employer for bumping you up. Most companies you are pulling teeth. I had someone in my team bumped up And I had to jump through a million levels of approval and meetings all for like a 10k bump it took like 6 months |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
you're right, yes. took awhile here too ugh, similar to your situation given supervisor level/mngr level (they were fine with it though), it was how busy they were that delayed it more than anything, no the people above them like who you had to deal with. HR were quick with decision apparently given they 'fought' for me. |
