work from home 100% now - short trips here and there with the 2021 RDX is a given...i gotta eat. but if i hunker down, i can probably stretch out a full tank for 2 weeks....65L tank, premium gas...easily $120-$140 per fill.
The RDX can run on regular 89 but with sluggish power delivery -no thanks.

BUT - no car payments and maintenance is NIL except for oil changes twice a year.

Once the feds eliminate the need to get tested going back into Canada from blaine then yup, i'm switching to USA gas with 4 jerries per trip.


back in the good ol' days precovid with a 2018 RDX

With the US banning Russian oil now, I am totally expecting $3/L for the 93 / 94 stuff. FailFish

I have my lube ready for that a$$ raping! FailFish

What do you mean by random testing? I thought they aren't doing tests there.
I'm out of the loop..

twitchyzero 03-08-2022 08:43 PM

Trump in 2020: 'If Biden' Becomes President, You'll Pay $7 For a Gallon of Gas

CharlesInCharge 03-09-2022 04:17 AM

I basically only drive to buy groceries... it'll be nice when Russia cuts off energy sales to Europe in retaliation and people have to ride bikes to get around Vancouver... there will be nice clear roads after robot citizenry are carbon neutered.

These gas prices are courtesy of a recovering global economy and Putin's megalomania not the current US President.

All we have to deal with is more expensive fuel for our cars. Our families aren't being killed by Russian missiles and artillery. If more expensive gas is what it takes to rid the world of Putin, I'll pay that price.

Summer around the corner. Already riding my E scooter to work, and grocery runs. Also hoping to join some group rides this summer. It will be fun.

Hoping this at least makes traffic a bit more tolerable as people get priced out lol, fat chance in this city.

JDMDreams 03-09-2022 10:20 AM

^^ I think it might, Uber pizza boys and taxi buddy guys are already complaining about it on the news.

10k gross is not that much money after taxes. It's not really enough to get me to make a move as I gain roughly $500 a month after taxes. It's not nothing but if I am happy with a current job, it'll take more than that to entice me for a move, plus if it means I lose WFH, that's an extra bit more to cover my time loss commuting and transportation costs.

When you add in the 15% tax plus the extended warranty it comes to $101,000. Base is like 79K

BREAKING: After strong lobbying by the Biden administration, the UAE says it wants to increase oil production and will encourage OPEC to ramp up supply. That sent global oil prices dropping like a rock Wednesday, with U.S. oil prices falling 12 percent.
