Diane.....your price is by the LITER!!! Wow!! That's pretty expensive!!! Thank heaven's you're getting such great gas mileage!! I've not heard of that kind of Toyota in the states. I have a friend that has the Prius and she raved about it.

We drive a Tahoe and I can tell you that our gas mileage is horrible but for us to drive anything smaller just wouldn't work. We use ours so much to haul things and it really is another farm vehicle.

Janet, your husband is a mechanic......why don't you ask him to invent something just for us to extend our gas mileage......oh to about.....200 mpg!!! You know it CAN be done!!

I know...he should really do something about it!!! I've always told him that he should make a car come when I call it so I don't have to try and find it in a parking lot!! lol.

We don't have that car here either!! Our gas is around $1.30/litre right now. We spend about $60 a week commuting to the city for work, and double that if we go visit either of our parents on the weekend!

It is about $4.03/gallon right now. Our 3 gas stations overcharge to begin with because we are in a rural area, and have to go there.

I kmow several people who have the Prius, and they love the gas mileage. I doubt if I could use it up here. I need AWD, and a heavier car. I pay near $60 to fill up. If I go anywhere, I have to figure at least $30 into the trip for gas!

I usually fill up every other week, so I am lucky there. The whole situation is ridiculous!!!

I pay over $60 to fill up. However I don't drive much......I stay home through most of the week. I'm like you, Judy, we need 4-wheel drive to get up our hill when it's bad in the wintertime.......that or walk up the hill.......Not happening!!! Dae Lynn's car is much better gas mileage and we can us that if we want to.

Our gas has dropped to $3.75. Not sure why, but then again, never know why it goes up so much. I don't drive my van much either, maybe once or twice a week. I try to combine all I need to do in one trip to town.
