Filled up the Fit with gas yesterday…
-
-
It is still a better deal than the gas version though, isn't it?
-
had my first 3 figure (>$100) fill up the other day. should've taken a picture for posterity.
-
@ibRAD cost to fill, no. but I get ~ 45% more out of a tank. (I clear 1000km with a little bit of difficulty)
but atm, diesel is only like 10% more then regular at some stations. 10-15%
-
@Peter_Black Oh yeah, I've seen it at 2.35 near my house. Hopefully you stay ahead of the game.

You need to make a deal with UppU. Only he can make it happen!I am seriously thinking my next car needs to at least be a hybrid. Gas for something that gets ~40mpg isn't too bad.

@ibRAD I saw it at 2.50 somewhere. that made me almost hurl.
but yea, on my commute to work, i get it down to 5.9L/100km. for a mid-sized truck?

Incidentally my Fit averages around 40 MPG (based on US gallons)
I just don’t like the idea of spending $300+ per month on fuel
-
@Peter_Black Can't beat that. I get 6.1 on my mazda 2! And it is most definitely not a midsize truck.

I got my echo to stop paying through the nose driving my 4runner to work... and now it costs the same as it did when I used to drive my 4runner to work.

Never discount the possibility that you might live through it.
-
Well your Echo is probably more than paying for itself now. Imagine how it would be if you didn’t have the Echo…

Thinking about getting one for myself. That might be the way to get a BEV with the range I want

I got it for 600 bucks. it paid for itself in a few months! (or a year if you include the money I put into it to make it roadworthy)

That thing isn't legal in ontario though. 500W and I think 32kms/hr is the max.

@ash78 ^Hoser.

@Manwich
I paid about that to fill up my K900 this week. With my mileage, thank goodness my gas prices are lower than yours. -
@Manwich oh man, last year you could find old beater Nissan Leafs which you knew would have bad battery degradation for under $10k any day.
Now they start at $14k for 9 or 10 year old examples.
This is the sort of consumer behaviour carbon pricing is supposed to drive but much more gradually. -
@zipfuel I was considering a lexus CT200h and they were going for 12-18 last year. Now they are going for 18-25!
-
@Manwich I've been splitting the driving between all 3 vehicles in hopes that fuel crashes before any of them run out of gas.
Looks like I might be in luck this weekend!
We both WFH so or driving isn't huge.

True... not technically legal. But I've seen some electric bikes being ridden at speeds greater than that because the owner has disabled the speed limiter. And I don't think the cops really enforce this.
-
@Manwich ha. I've seen people riding 2-stroke powered bikes in the city. You're most likely right. If you have one that goes 80 though you might raise some eyebrows!
