I spend just under $60 a month on gas usually. But that's 'cause I live 3.5 miles from work and don't go out that far very often.
The Aveo averages about 24/25mpg... Gas here is currently $2.78 for Regular. |

If you want the government to do something about gas and all its related issues, my suggestion is go research the canidates, write some letters and then get out in nov and vote. Other than that its up to you to change what you do and if enough people follow that then things will change. Until we Americans as a collective whole move away from the large trucks and SUV's things will not change. That said I love my truck and understand that I pay a premium for owning it (it does get used as a truck, but it is also my daily driver because yes I love driving it) and I understand its going to get even more expensive. When will it get to expensive? Don't know currently my budget has a good 2-300 slush fund, probably when that runs out, or when my truck is paid off and I can buy a camaro. PS - Oh and someone asked, yes mines the 4.7L but its the old 4.7 not the new one.

It's more like £1.06ish a litre (4.77 per gallon) around here... and Super is £1.10 per litre (£4.95 per gallon). Which works out (current exchange rate) at $9.48 and $9.84 respectively. |

I filled up in Anaheim, Ca today for $2.83 a gallon. Forget Disneyland. The Rapid Gas 76 Station in Anaheim is the Happiest Place on Earth. I am so framing this receipt.

Personally I wish you would all just switch to Prius Hybrids so you could stop complaining about gas. That way we as a country could begin to use less gas and energy in general which is the only thing that will bring the price of gas down so that I will be able to fill my LS3 Camaro LOL. I agree gas price is high but that only thing that will make a large difference is if a large number of people around the world made a concious effort to conserve energy on a regular basis. Anyway my point is lets get the rest of the world into small hybrids because we need all the gas we can get for the Camaro population.
You other question, I will consider a high output V6 if it has a substantially better MPG rating and gas is in the $4.50 range. Otherwise I'll just be driving the V8 nicely most of the ime and have the fun with it a little less. |

it dosn't really make sense to buy a Prius Hybrid(20k-25k) if your concerned buy a Yaris(11k-13k) it would take driving about 600k miles in the Prius Hybrid to even out the price
