$360 per year EXTRA over 2006's prices. I'm paying roughly $1000/year for gas.

And I honestly don't drive that much...but then again, I'm a student for 8 months out of the year and work as an engineering temp the other 4. Round trip to work is about 20 miles and I don't drive too many other places. I can go about 15 or so days per tank.

$400 a month on gas? Seriously? How much do you drive?!

$4/Gallon = 100 gallons a month...DAMN!

Yeah I'm starting to notice the gas mileage isn't as great as I expected... but then again I don't know what I really expected... It's definitely better than my mustang... I'll probably upgrade a few parts to get a bit better mileage out of her...

$360 additional sounds more reasonable. Haha I drive all year round. On heavy months I drive as much as 4000km, maybe 2000km on light ones. Gas here is currently $1.43 / L ($5.42 / gallon) for premium 94 octane. Damn those cheap (by comparison) USA gas prices lol.

Lol I know you're all shocked by the rising petrol prices, but see reading stuff like this, it makes me sad lol. Really does. I know pretty much, most places have been effected by the same amount of rise, some places more than other, but, $1.43 a litre, is what we had about 6 years ago lol. It's double that now ><

Yup I know Europe has it bad, alot worse than north America. But USA prices are still really cheap by my standards.
