slippery Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Pfft, what kind of excuse is this? I'm 6'4, 180 pounds, what kind of bull statement is that. I can fit in a Mini Cooper. Well, if you are 6'4" and 180 lbs, then you have a slim build, and its no problem for you. In my case, I have back problems, and cannot stoop down to get into a compact vehicle because of two back surgeries, and I have to slide onto the seat my truck, which I might add is rather good on gas. I get close to 500 miles on a tank (highway) and about 350 around town. I take it you must be a tree hugger, so theres no apparent reasoning with your type, I can see that now. Gas is only $2.09 a gallon here at the present time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconian Guppy Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Honduras, CA, $3.50 per galon :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruciz Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 on the east cost of Canada and it just came down from 103.9 a litre to 99.9, then dropped yesterday another cent to 98.9 per litre for regular unleaded. Supreme/premium is like 105.9. I gotta invest into a scooter or mercedes smart if these keep going the way they have. For you americans out there, assuming theres 3.78 litres to a US gallon, we are paying around $3.75 per gallon. (@ 103.9 its $3.92 a gallon, at 98.9 its $3.74 a gallon - for self-serve regular unleaded) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdsams Veteran Posted July 27, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted July 27, 2005 hopefully with this heatwave...gas will be on its way down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruciz Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 We're paying 102.9 a liter (Nova Scotia, Canada) 1 gallon = 3.79 liters $1 USD = $0.82 CDN So, we pay about $3.19 USD a liter (I'm pretty sure i did that right) . . . so yeah, things are rough here big time 586184387[/snapback] what kind of math are you doing there? you mean $3.19 US a gallon, cause clearly if its 102.9 a litre, and one USD = 0.82 CDN theres no way it could be $3.19. One gallon is about 3.78 litres, so thats $3.89 CDN for one gallon, convert that by your multiplying factor, it would be $3.19 US a gallon. So to fill my '90 jetta it costs around $46, (45 litre tank @ 102.9 a litre its $46.31, or like $44 now) and that gets me around 450-500KM, or so depending if its highway or city.

nemo Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Well, what if you are 6'3" tall and are say over 200 lbs? What kinda fuel efficient vehicle is made thats big enough for a person of that size to fit in? Dont be such a smartass before looking at both sides of the scenario, some people just cant fit into compact vehicles. Think about it :angry: i'm 6'2 and 200 lbs... i fit in almost every car i've driven. Maximas, Altimas, Accords, Subarus etc... I mean for christ's sake I own an 05 RSX.
