That'd be about £135 over here !



Why America insists on making cars which such large engines when the rest of the world has proved they aren't necessary, is beyond me.

26 gallons for $90!!

Here in Los Angeles, Gas prices are at the higher end of the US spectrum, not the highest, but close to the top.

My Accord gets a blended 24.4 miles per gallon, 16 gallon tank and it runs me about $75 to fill up these days (about 15.5 gallons of 89 octane fuel)

I plan to get a new car at the beginning of the year, I'm looking at the Inifinity M35 sport, Infinity G35, Nissan Z, Nissan Maxima 3.5s or.... Toyota Prius.

I think we drive a bit more here in the states than europeans do. The population is less dense and quite frankly, public transportation isn't as well developed or accepted except in a few metro areas.

That being said, I've owned my Accord for 5 years and I have over 120k miles on it. I'd have probably 160k except when I got promoted 2 1/2 years ago and my son quit hockey.. my daily driving went down substantially.

To reply to Pure's comment... I have no idea why many americans insist on having a car with a monster under the hood. I'm not one of them. I just want something that's comfortable and gets good mileage.

I agree. I only picked up the truck because I knew i would need one for the line of work im getting into. If there was a cheap hybrid engine alternative that could give me the same power I needed I would have been all over it. Im even considering buying another Honda for my daily commute and only using the truck when I need it.

my volvo v40 gets about 35 miles to the gallon, which ain't bad for a 2 litre.

Been my little girls 3rd Birthday Party, so we were all out in soops. but the missus is too heavily pregnats to stand upright for a piccy, so just me and the tinker..... is that a bit of mud *screams like a girl*


   

Nice one KOTM I've just got back from the park with the family with wet grass cuttings all over my bordeauxs. Him and his mum were sensible enough not to be wearing their nice supes . . .

In the garden at the inlaws..(posting straight from the phone..)
