What year?

I completely filled my car to get $51.

Hmm... $34, eh?

What the hell is going on here...

80 km? You work downtown, correct?

I WANT TO SCREAM AND CRY!!!!

I miss the days of paying $20 just to fill up my full tank of gas on my '95 Taurus. Now its fucking $40-45! I'm going to mix fucking bottles of 151 and some other shit.

Fuck it! I'm going biodiesel.

You do know that Biodiesel is going to go for about 4.50 a gallon right?

Word on the street is that you will be like a moving cloud of delicious french fry aroma.... I say, GO FOR IT!

Ha Ha

I <3 French Fries but I don't eat them anymore, maybe this is a cure for my wanton desire for those delicious deep fried taters

<3 taters.

I work in Mississauga. I commute from Ajax every day. 34 right now fills my car like 7/8's up and I get 5 commutes out of it. (one way, so it would take me from Monday morning to Wednesday morning before I would have to fill up before coming home Wednesday night) It's a '99. Nicknamed the Red Baron. That doesn't have any bearing on mileage but makes me sound really cool.

Mine's a 99 too but lacks a catchy moniker.

That's so weird. $34? I can't explain it.

That commute must be murder.

I work in the North York area. I start at 9:30 just so I can avoid the bullshit 'phantom' traffic. I can only tolerate being stuck in traffic for 40 minutes max. I spent far too many years doing the two-and-a-half hour bus/train/walk clusterfuck.

Hey dude, your fuel gauge is borked (not that most aren't). At $4 a gallon, $34 is only 8.5 gallons and no way is your tank that small. Likely you have a 13 gallon tank and your gauge is telling you it's empty when you have a third left.

didn't he say it's a toyota? i have a toyota, my parents have toyotas, and i have friends with toyotas, and they all have fucked up fuel gauges. my corolla will tell me it's full then suddenly say it's at half a tank a mile later. then it'll say it's 3/4 full the next day.

all toyotas have this "feature."
