I know. but in 2001 I was living in Hawaii and we were paying $3.50 then. Now where Im at in Idaho we are down to $2.80 to $3.00.

LOL, yep...

I was actually looking for an old thread that had someone's contact info in it. Came across that one.

i remember those days... i very highly doubt we will ever see $1.50 gas again.

gas price was one of the reasons I bought the spec...

[cden1]

The cheapest price I remember is about 32 cents in the early 70's. Of course my Duster 340 got 10 mpg on the highway and I rarely had more than $3 in my pocket. When I graduated college in 1972, $10,000 a year was a top starting salary. I started at $8400. Oh well, just the ramblings of an OG.

Worst bump ever. Makes me glad I have a company car and gas card these days.

I remember gas in the 80's being in the 80's.

When I first started driving in '95-96, gas was $.99/gallon. Even a high schooler like myself could afford to drive a '77 Chevy truck that got 8 mpg....

Yeah, I remember my first Honda when I could put in $5 and it would last the week.

Its almost depressing how bad the 2.0 Sentra was on gas.

2000 Sentra 2.0L I-4 w/ 145 HP. ~2800 lbs. 21 city/27 highway/23 combined.
2011 Altima 3.5L V-6 w/ 270 HP. ~3300 lbs. 20 city/27 highway/23 combined.

I'm averaging 25.1. The wife's '03 Sentra GXE average is 27.1. I don't know if should I or .

I use the Sentra 90%+ with trips of 3 miles each way. In summer its like 26 mpg and winter 24 mpg. Last time I took a trip...5 years ago it gave like 31 mpg.

Mileage on the Subaru is about 22 mpg in winter and 24.5 mpg in summer with 70% town driving. It gets about 30mpg on a trip.

I've only seen over 20 mpg in my current car once on a road trip. Usually 17-18 on my routine commute. After driving slow cars in the pursuit of gas mileage for 8 years, I'm fine with that. $50 a week on gas isn't a big deal.

Is that on the Soul? My Forte hatch gets 27mpg on winter gas and 29mpg on the regular kind.

Nope, the Soul routinely got 30+ mpg on the same commute. Traded it in October for a Veracruz. My "extra" car is a Z28. My wife's ES seems like a Prius in comparison.
