$6.00 gas prices? Thoughts

[Islander]

$6.75 for 89 where I am....and likely will be north of $7 for me this year....but no regrets buying a Hemi....it's too damn fun to drive

No gas price will make me get rid of my truck. Love the Hemi (just wish I could get a 6.4 in a 1500).
Electric is not for me nor are V6’s. I’m sure the hurricane will be a nice motor but not for me. I’m sure Ram will lose some sales if the 5.7 is phased out someday (like the 5.0, to 4.6 mustang).
Hell My buddy has a ‘22 raptor and my friends and I all make fun that it’s a six. If you want a fast V6 then buy a Porsche we tell him.

Yea but a cross country trip for you is what? 20 miles? I mean how much gas do you really use?

I've thought about maybe getting a scooter.....no seriously.
A 250 scooter can reach 65 mph and pull close to 100mpg. My round trip to work is about 32 miles of country road so my gas bill would drop a LOT.

But I still can't complain, now that its warmer out I'm back to the 23/24 mpg in my Ram.

Absolutely not. I have a company car and a bike that both get much better mpg than my Ram. Company car sits most days bc the Ram is just such an enjoyable ride. Bike is fun, but doesn't function well as a work vehicle. Life is too short to give up the things we enjoy most

Keeping the Ram. Worst case I spend $5-6k and get a small used fuel efficient car.

Where’s our stimulus checks for gasoline relief?

Oh yeah…….I pocketed all that free money from covid relief even though I was never out of work.

Figure that check will be coming sometime before the mid-terms. Mark my words.

Probably given away in the bi-monthly aid to that overseas country...

Good idea, get a good condition fuel efficient used car that's already depreciated, which will allow you to sell it for what you paid for it or close to it later on.

Save a lot on fuel, wear & tear for now, and when you sell it your only expenses are standard consumables. Assuming you don't buy a clunker, I would stick with old Toyota sedans. You pay more for them now, but you don't lose much in terms of depreciation, repair of service costs.

That, exactly that!

 

[jdefoe0424]

I did the math, for my daily commute with my truck vs riding my motorcycle I save about $20 a week, or about $4 a day.
Right now I'm kind of thankful that I only live about 9 miles from work, even though I'd love to be outside of town on some land.
