The price of gas has never had an impact on how I drive, positive or negative. I always drive like the same maniac regardless.

8.5mpg and it was all highway. To the track and home. I think its the middle bit that hurt the average.

I spent an hour outside in an empty parking lot. Went in with about 7.6L/100km after half a tank of driving. Left with about 8.6 (how apt).

Currently sitting @ 8k miles. Average at 29mpg completely stock. 32.9 with Ark Grip cat-back! Added K&N drop-in filter and now 28.9 :(.

Since the second half of this quote has been covered, I'll pick on the first...

What gives you the idea that anyone here is worrying about gas mileage? I think you missed the point of this thread entirely. In fact, I could argue that you are the only one that's indicated that you're worried about gas money.

:bonk:

Ummm, maybe because people are posting their MPG and the title reads "How Bad is your MPG now (Cheap Gas)"
By the context of the title (bad MPG, cheap gas) leads to the phrase "cheap gas" as in being of "poor quality" and not meaning "inexpensive".


Perhaps you should re-title your thread to "Are you all enjoying inexpensive gas"?
Its english. I know its difficult, but try to learn it sometime.

Yes.. English is difficult isn't it.. reading too.

What's even more brutal is comprehension skills.. like being able to read a combination of words and understand the combined meaning.. as opposed to picking out a few keywords out of an entire thread and making an assumption.

Let me break it down for you.. This thread is about how much your mpg has gone down because you AREN'T worried about gas prices. The exact opposite of the conclusion you reached. Just because someone posts their mpg does not automatically mean they are complaining about it.

Maybe don't act like such a smartass if you can't be bothered to read more than the title before commenting.

That's not what he wanted to know... so OP should change the very purpose of his thread just so he doesn't confuse people that can't bother to read his comment? Ok...

You are so much fail. Get back on topic, but before that.
Point one finger and you have 3 pointing back at you.

You asked "What gives you the idea that anyone is worried about gas mileage?".

I gave you 2 examples where I would get that idea from.
And the two examples are perfect for supporting the idea, that people are worried about gas mileage.

I fully comprehend what the OP wrote.
Flooring it around everywhere, and he wants to know what everyone's MPG is. If thats not a thread about worrying about MPG, you'll have to show me one that is.

So, now that you fully established that you have no basic understanding of what "reading comprehension" is.

Edit: oh yeah. the part about "enjoying in-expensive gas". MPG has decreased because you aren't worried about gas prices. The MPG decrease is due to more enthusiastic driving behaviors, thus "Enjoying inexpensive gas".

Get back on topic.

Does somebody else want to give this a try? He's not getting it and I don't have the patience to walk him through it AGAIN.

The examples you cited did not support your argument, period.

Curiosity ≠ Concern

Posting your mpg because you were asked to ≠ Concern about your mpg

Edit: again. It just bugs me that you used the word "argument". I clearly said the "idea". I wasn't arguing. lol

I think the last tank I had was 100% highway @ 120KM/H with a few hard pulls up to...some speeds and I averaged 8L/100km with the blower on it.

Alright, agree to disagree.. or something. Not worth carrying on about anymore. No hard feelings.
