    The fill costs in the article are nothing our boat has a 60 gallon tank @ 3.85/gal I'm looking at $200+ for a day on the water.

    Oh well, at least I will get better gas mileage from my weight loss.
    Exactly why I own a sailboat... My 30 gallons of diesel will last me 6-8 months :bigsmile:

    Our commuter car is an '09 Nissan Versa SL FE bought in '09 when gas was "fair" it was $37 to fill up, excellent but now that gas is $1.35+ its $45-47 but still one of the most efficient on the road.

    We already have 30,000km on it and drove it to Florida and back (5000km) with no problems.

    I have a chevy Blazer (2000) and it actually gets pretty good gas milage for an SUV. It is a 15 gallon tank and it costs me about 40-45 to fill up. And that lasts me a week or more. :)

    They never mention diesel vehicles in these news stories.

    VW TDI Diesel - ~45mpg - 700 miles to a tank - Best tank was 875 miles.
    :noway: WOW!!!

    hehe, Yep it's great.

    Last year we drove from Toronto, ontario to Tampa Florida, then over to Miami, then back up to Toronto.
    That was with A/C on for 3/4 of the trip and the drive back we were cruising 85mph most times.

    Total distance approx 3045 miles. Filled up 5 times for approx $250 in fuel.

    Yea! Us too BUT on reg gas. We went from Toronto to Orlando June 2010 and spent $180.

    The only lame thing is you can't use your CC at the pumps in the US b/c they require a zip code not postal code and you can't fudge it with 90210 b/c it knows your billing address. We would fill up whenever we got to a 1/2 tank or under for $15-20 with our '09 Nissan Versa SL FE.

    Thanks for the post. Luckily it looks like I won't be hitting a $100 fill up for a bit, but I do miss my Saturn...that got GREAT gas mileage lol

    So glad I got rid of my 2006 explorer it was a gas guzzler. My 1st explorer wasn't like that. Loving my Nissan Altima even though its engine is basically a V6. Nissan just doesn't call it that. We'll see how I rate on gas. Half a tank was $38 for me the other day and gas was $3.79
