Gas Prices--Anyone switching cars??--HOw bout the SMART CAR??

If you are looking for just something to avoid a $100 gas fill, until the newbies come out in 2010--I just saw that in a frenzy to unload cars, Nissan is offering their Sentra for only $159/month on a 24 month lease...

I'm kinda sorry now I went out and bought 2-4cyl cars, I should have leased them, oh well--I'll be in a neg equity sit by 2010--its inevitable.. was in habit of buying used--invest the difference scenario--but got tired of expensive repairs on the benz--
I had just put $900 into my 300te, for a new fan blade/belt repair--i took $750 for it,
on the sedan, i had just put new shocks, and a $1000 tune up in Jan--i took $1000 for it--
I was frustrated,didnt have time to answer stupid questions from buyers coming on my yard, and didnt want hassle of ebay sale...

So- Yes, Wise decisions are best.. but I do love being able to fill up for less than $30

BTW--Guess what my H1 now takes to fill? $368.00 yesterday!!! (2 tanks) BUt its a MOnster in the Snow and Rain!! I had to have special steps installed, cause I couldnt reach the seat without a ladder..

Check out the U-Tube safety videos on the Smart Car. It received a 5 star crash rating. It is actually much safer than many cars twice its size...

Hypermiling :: No more need to compare gas prices

Check this out. Just by slowing down, no drive-thru fast food, coasting, no jack rabbit starts and stops, etc, you will see tremendous savings in your gas mileage. I already went from 18 mpg to 22 mpg in my truck, by simply slowing down.....

So how many cars do you have in total?
You bought the H1 from the money you made in ebay? and if soo you must be repping it up there keep it up

i have started doing the slower driving too. i have a manual trans so it makes it much easier to get better mileage. slow starts, short shifting into gears, coasting to stop signs, turning car off for trains, etc. i used to get 300 miles per tank and 35mpg. now i get 350 miles per tank and about 40mpg.

My Titan loves lot of gas as well. I'm glad I sold my Mustang, that thing was sucking gas down at 12mpg... I still want to buy a BMW 335i, even though it's probably not the best investment… still thinking about it though.

Gas prices are often 6-7+ USD in European Countries already. They have even hit 10+ USD.
