lenore Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 mom stopped driving around so much..prices arnt as high but $3.10...glad were not driving the GX...would have 2 file bankrupcy with these prices :D JK... ← Gas is 3.10 in Sacramento. I remember 32 years ago it was 3.20 a gallon in Spain.
JeffR Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Today was the first day i EVER put regular in the RX330 :( ← If this keeps up I will have to switch to midgrade or regular myself. Yes I drive a Lexus, but come on, Im not made of money. I just hope my car doesnt pitch a fit. It's been pretty spoiled.

Yes I drive a Lexus, but come on, Im not made of money. I just hope my car doesnt pitch a fit. It's been pretty spoiled. ← I hear ya. My bike cost over $10 for 3 gallons! I used to fill it for $5. What is nuts is that crude oil was about $25 a barrel back in 2003...Now two years later it it is almost 3X that.
lexus411 Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 It is 3.50-3.99 in NY today... took 15 dollars too just shot off the gas light in my LX
RX in NC Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Yep, sales of large SUVs and pickups are plummeting and will probably never return to anything close to their previous levels. If you need one, now may the time to buy. Just be sure that you can afford $100 fill-ups for the foreseeable future.... My decades-long preference for always having a V-8 as my primary vehicle is quickly fading....
Lexusfreak Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Regular unleded in Toronto was $1.34 per litre last night (Sept 2nd, 2005)!!! :chairshot: That works out to being $5.06 per U.S gallon & $6.08 per Canadain gallon! :o Considering Canada has the worlds second largest oil reserve in the world (right behind Saudi Arabia) this is shameful! :chairshot:
denslexusgx470 Posted September 3, 2005 Author Posted September 3, 2005 i think i need to mod this poll up cuz the prices on my poll is WAAAAY OUT OF DATE! :cries: :cries: :cries: so is that possible??
indiasfinest Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 i think you just need to make a new poll since everyone already voted
LexKid630 Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Is it under your "edit" to change the poll? You might consider putting the option of 6 bucks a gallon LOL It might get that high you never know!
indiasfinest Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 you spoke too soon it IS that high...check out Atlanta, GA.... $6.07!!!
LexKid630 Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 you spoke too soon it IS that high...check out Atlanta, GA.... $6.07!!! ← Unbelievable how are these oil companies getting away with this!
Lexusfreak Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 you spoke too soon it IS that high...check out Atlanta, GA.... $6.07!!! ← Wholy ! :chairshot: Why don't these perople just wear masks & carry shotgun's!? :o
denslexusgx470 Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 this is really insane. i filled up yesterday ($3.10) and i gave them a $20. Barely turned around to take a drink out of my water bottle, and it was done!!!! :o :cries: did i mention that the car i filled up was the 1st gen ody?? if it was the GX, hmmm, i think $100 would be the bill to fill that thing up. :cries:

Less oil means less cash flow, so to keep up with the needs for a company's (such as ExxonMobil's) net gain, they raise crude oil prices to offset the limited availabilty of the product. Supply and demand, my friend.
denslexusgx470 Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 i remember the time when it was like, 87 cents a gallon. :whistles: that was like a dream come true for the V8s. it's always nice to see the gas amount bigger than the money spent, at the pump. :cries: now i've really cut back on the GX. :( even though i only put regular in it ever since ( :whistles: ) it's still outrageous. now if i live in the area of that $6 a gallon, i'd walk or buy a scooter and use that to get my !Removed! around
denslexusgx470 Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 I WANT A HYBRID GX!!!!!!!!! :chairshot: :chairshot: :chairshot:
civi Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Local Gas station in Sonoma County, Ca. Wine Country 87 $3.00 89 $3.05 91 $3.09 Diesel $3.15

LexKid630 Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Gas is supposed to stop rising the end of this week here in RI according to the news.
91L3xus Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 My dad decided today to retire his Sequoia, in favor of a Highlander Hybrid. I'm thinking of selling both the ES and the 4Runner for something along the lines of a used Accord Hybrid. If both the car's value's doesn't cover the cost of the Accord, I won't do it. I'll post pics up and comparisons of the money and gas saved compared to the Sequoia. Even if gas prices stop increasing, we're still making a move for at least 1 hybrid car...

91L3xus Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 This is true... who the hell is going to pay $41,000 for a Limited HighlanderH?
LexKid630 Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 This is true... who the hell is going to pay $41,000 for a Limited HighlanderH? ← A loaded highlander hybrid is over 43k. Still not close to an rx in quality + luxury.
sha4000 Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 i went to yonkers last night and premium was $4.29 i just had to shake my head my 2 brothers were laughing b/c they couldnt understand my pain, but then again neither one of them ever owned a vehicle
pearlwhite97ES Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 :cries: here in illinois i found gas has dropped to 2.99 gallon. the only people this seems not to effect are the amish here. 43 dollars to fill up ouch :chairshot:
