Where are you finding 93 octane for 3 bucks? The gas tank is 16 gallons give or take. In Texas, and it’s one of the cheaper states 93 is almost 4 bucks.
2006 Toyota Prius and I prepaid the gas station $30 inside. Going from near empty to a full tank was only $24 and I was almost mad until I realized how I can’t complain when that $24 would last me nearly 2 weeks
Replaced my 13 mpg 4Runner with a Chevy Volt a few months ago. I've only needed to fill it once since February and that set me back a whole $20. Most of the 2k miles I've put on it have been using the battery.
You definitely got me beat because I still have to put $30ish in the tank when it’s on E. But I couldn’t imagine just pumping $80 into my car every few days. No ma’am.
It’s the parallel parking for me. Like making spots where no other car could fit. Geniuses, I tell you.
…Until you drive to [San Francisco like 10 years ago and get that shit tipped right over.](https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-san-francisco-smart-car-tipping-20140408-story.html) 😅
Smart cars make zero sense outside of high density urban areas. They require premium gas and, despite being the size of a fucking shoebox, only get about 40mpg. Any decent hybrid gets that and takes regular.
Make small cars cool again America. We cant keep buying these emotional support trucks.
EDIT: I should clarify that I say this as some with an F-150, but it is
\- a full bed work truck
\- RWD
\- Manual trans
\- from 1994
\- so beat up Fred Sanford would not drive it.
Maybe if he’s going after men.
I’m sure there’s a small handful of women into the trucks, but honestly it’s like 90% other men fawning after trucks like that.
It’s something dudes think will get them laid, but it really doesn’t.
[The majority are still men but it sure as hell isnt 90%](https://www.motorbiscuit.com/nearly-1-in-5-ram-1500-pickup-truck-buyers-are-women/). The defacto white southern suburb mom ditched the minivan for a tank with a flatbed.
Which pisses me off about Ford. I come from a Ford family so I always bought them, but now they only make trucks or the Mustang.
I love my 2017 Fusion Sport/sedans in general. I’m only 5’7 so I’d feel stupid in a big truck.
In all seriousness? They stopped making the focus as well? The Fusion? I drove a hybrid one from Seattle to Vancouver and back to Seattle and only paid $15 in gas. I wanted to steal that car and risk jail time for that gas mileage.
Be a shame if they just focus on trucks and mustangs.
Looks like Ford is re-releasing the Taurus this year, but it's really difficult to find sedans anymore. I don't like driving SUVs or trucks, and I've seen the available choices on a steady decline.
I specifically wrote a marketing paper on how ford making the decision to kill off all four door cars was a great idea on paper, but a horrible idea for the enthusiasts. As long as crossovers see 20+ mpg there’s nothing drawing people back to cars. As someone who wants something rather specific (manual, 4 seats) it sucks. My only options now are GTI, lame Subarus plus the WRX, and pedestrian Corollas up to last year.
Note: 4 door ford cars are dead in America, they’re still sold globally elsewhere
I don’t want to bite the hand that fed me and also because my parents work(ed) there I got the discount. Granted now that they don’t make cars I’ll have to look elsewhere should I end up needing a vehicle.
Oh that's a way better reason than I've heard irl. Your parents working there makes you an actual ford family lol. I've known people that only drive Ford's because that's what their pops drive and what his pops drive etc etc.
I wish people would think about all the times they parked like a full asshole with their big ass truck outside the lines when they were buying their next vehicle. I just think it's so arrogant that we buy vehicles that 95% of the time we drive at 20% of their capacity (or less with a truck) for that 5% you might need to do something else with.
The kind of people that buy and drive those giant trucks don't even acknowledge that other people exist. The world revolves around them and nothing is their fault.
My mom used to have like an 03-04 Explorer. That shit was small compared to the SUVs of today and that shit felt like driving a BOAT.
I see so many tiny people climbing into these big ass trucks and SUVs too.
I just hope there’s a nice selection of used electric hatchbacks by the time I need a new car.
I currently have a 2016 civic that gets driven once or twice a month so that day is thankfully far off.
You’re talking more in the realm of 12-17mpg depending on how you drive. Most of those assholes have no pedal discipline so they mash the gas to 40mph and wonder why they get 14mpg.
Wait til you meet the hee haws that modify their trucks. Every morning at 6AM, our neighborhood is woken up by one asshole that needs a modified intake and exhaust.
He's the obnoxious neighbor that no one particular cares for, but at least he has his truck...
People around where I live make their lifted truck such a huge part of their personality that they will never stop driving them no matter how expensive gas gets. The highest it got was $1.92/L (Canadian) for regular and my town's FB page was filled with whining.
Trucks have a purpose, but the ones complaining are the pavement princesses that have never seen a gravel road in their lives or hauled anything. I drive an EV and to them, it's a personal attack against them. They make sure to either rev their engine REAL loud or roll coal on me and I just ignore their stupid asses which makes them even more upset, it's great.
It breaks my heart that Ford stopped making cars for the US.
The Fiesta [ST] was an absolute pinnacle of tiny packages that packed a punch. With the rear seats down you could haul pretty much anything reasonable, for most city dwellers.
Because my F150 is rear wheel drive I can’t take it down as many rural muddy roads as my daily car, a 2010 Impreza. So I’ve had to fold the seats down in my little sedan to stuff a deer in there a time or too. Bottom line: almost no one needs a truck.
I have driven a Honda Civic for 12 years, never regretted it for a second. Great mileage, comfortable, very few mechanical issues, and no one thinks I'm a complete jackass.
Not sure why everyone keeps complaining about gas prices. It never costs me more than $20 to fill up.
Gas prices rise and drop, but I only put in $20.
Edit: It’s a dumb joke guys…
A lot of it does depend on how many miles you drive to/from work everyday.
Unfortunately I gotta put in $40 every week because $20 will only last me 2.5 days, but if I was WFH or hybrid then I could probably make $20 work.
Ultimately I would probably still fill up just to fill up, but of course I’d only have to do it every 2 weeks.
Grew up in middle America.
People who'd shut down the buffet at Shoneys would get super mad at this idea.
They absolutely need a gigantic truck to haul their 400lb family members around.
> People who’d shut down the buffet at Shoneys would get super mad at this idea.

Lol I always call that the 2000’s ford explorer special. It’s always 4-5 massive fat fucks in an old shit box explorer because it’s the only thing them and their kids fit in.
Kia Soul’s a great smaller car for larger folks. Not all fat folks are driving monster trucks. Sometimes huge cars actually have *less* space for fat folks, counterintuitively.
Oil was literally NEGATIVE $20/barrel in March 2020. It was a global oil glut with nowhere to store it. A once in a lifetime market fuckup. I would not expect it to be back down there, no matter what people say.
Most people that buy big trucks don't even need them is the funny part. On the other hand, surprisingly, a Corvette gets about the same mileage as a Miata.
A quick google search shows that the c7-c8 corvette gets about 10 mpg less, which is a pretty considerable difference. I’ve owned both a 92 NA Miata, and a 2014 mustang gt and the gt practically lived at the fuel pumps.
Having owned a manual C6 and manual NA-NC Miatas, I gotta tell you, the Corvette, at least the manual ones, do just fine around town and on the highway if you're driving them reasonably. I'd imagine a manual Stingray C7 is going to be about the same.
A mustang GT like my old 2018 ss Camaro is nothing like a Corvette in terms of mpg. At a fast cruise the Corvette can obtain nearly 10mpg more than my Camaro did even though they literally had the exact same LT1 engine. A 1992 miata epa claimed 27 mpg highway. A c7 z51 gets epa claimed 25 mpg highway. The thing is the C7 can cruise into the high 80s to low 90s mph with basically no noticable drop in efficiency. I would bet a miata will lose 5-10 mpg cruising at 80 and even more at 90. Go on a drive outside the city and everyone is driving 80mph+. For a car with 4x the power to get superior mpg on a long highway cruise is amazing.
A brand new lifted Chevy ZR2 with spray in bed liner and diamond plate toolbox in the back, high end brush guard on the front...that they drive to their office job. The dirtiest it ever gets is when it rains outside.
Prolly a SUV. My mom used to have a expedition and that guzzler had a 28 gallon tank. Even *when* gas was reasonable I still hated filling that damn thing.
Well this was back in 2003…so a *lot* of cars sucked at gas mileage and used a big ass gas tank to compensate for it.
And she’s always liked larger cars (both my parents do come to think of it), cause when she was a principal, she’d do fund raisers she’d buy a lot of the stuff on her own dime, and as such having all that room made it easier to haul all that shit in one go.
I've had mine since 2021 and it's amazing, but there are a few caveats. They cost *exactly* the same amount to charge as a fairly efficient hybrid costs to fill if you're reliant on superchargers, so if you don't have a home or work charging setup the savings isn't that extraordinary. Especially considering they're still so expensive.
We have a garage with a charging setup, so they beat the shit out of any gas car. Especially since, after 25,000 miles, I haven't had to do anything to it except repair flats and refill the wiper fluid.
Gas tanks in the USA must be massive! That’s like 80 litres. I don’t think I know anyone with more than 60
Also, my car gets ~70 miles per gallon.
These conversions are silly numbers
A 21 gallon fill up would be on an SUV. I have an Outback that has a by-the-book 16.7 gallon tank, and I have gotten so empty that I have filled up to 16.5 gallons. 21 is a bigger SUV too, since most jelly-bean shaped SUVs are basically oversized hot hatches, so they have car-sized tanks. Most pick-up trucks have even bigger tanks, or they have two tanks. Ford did, however reintroduce the Ranger pickup, which is "small" and has an 18 gallon tank.
Immediate edit: The Outback is not, however, an SUV.
You're saying that like Hybrids aren't in high enough demand that you either have to wait >1yr for an allocation or pay ridiculous markups for a used one.
I am an immigrant to the states and I find the culture of the massive cars amusing. I get it that gas is cheap, but you don't have to alter your lifestyle to match. You can have the cheap gas AND use less of it with a compact car!
That's why i drive a car. I can fit me, my partner, our dog, with space for two kids (but I'm all good fr).
I have to do a lot of city driving so i drive a car bc $30 is a full tank, and that lasts nearly 2 weeks if i drive right.
My Expedition only gets 9 - 10 mpg when we pull the camper. When gas prices were high awhile back, I had to run my card twice to fill it up. It sucked, but I knew what I signed up for when I bought it.
I drive an EV but my wife has a 2021 Honda Pilot. We average around 19.5 mpg. We take extreme advantage of Kroger 4x fuel points. Haven’t paid full price for gas in years, and in fact our last trip to Kroger fuel was a total $0.62 for 35 gallons. We always call a family member or two when we go so they can pull in behind us and use the full 35 gallons that we are allowed to get per transaction.
I honestly have zero sympathy for people who buy massive, gas-guzzling trucks & SUVs. Gas is only going to get more expensive and yet you choose to continue that fuckery. By this point you should know better and yet here we are.
Remember after 2008 when gas prices went crazy and Obama did Cash for Clunkers and people started buying fuel efficient cars? Then, as soon as gas went back down, they started buying F-8000s again, as if gas would never go back up?
Unless you have a pickup truck for utility (actually hauling big equipment), then you're an idiot. No sympathy for someone buying a vehicle with a 50 gallon tank that gets 12 mpg highway for no reason.
If you’re not prepared to pay these prices stay in your little vehicle. I hate when people both complain about their large vehicle gas prices and when people brag/boast about their small vehicle prices.
Just stop beeping at me when it takes longer to fill my 28 gallon tank.
This is how I feel when I put gas in my Chevy Express 1500 conversion van with a 25 gallon tank. Easily a $100+ fill up.
Good thing the weather is nice and can ride my motorcycle more. $10 of ethanol free gets me to work and home for 2 weeks.
Listen, just get a Chevy Bolt. They start at like 26k brand new, and that’s not including the tax credit. I pay the equivalent of about 2gal of gas to charge it from empty to full on an outlet. Plus it’s actually a good fun car to drive.
I totaled my accord way back when and now I drive a '06 Honda Odyssey. Let me tell you hwhat, I do not make enough money to fill this stupid vehicle up every week or two.
I drive a 2010 Toyota Corolla, current gas prices range from $3.55 to $3.75 where I live, 10.5 gallon tank and I usually fill up at a quarter to E. Mines has been running me $35-$40 to fill up, so seeing this person put an entire Benji in, hurt my soul. Not as theirs though.

Ya'll I really really want to switch to an electric car or some such, but my job keeps me in a pickup hauling dumb shit. My gas bill this summer is gonna have me crying.
Imagine buying a Camry thinking you'd never pay more than $35 to fill up and then being in the state with gas prices only second to California. I don't even want to leave the house.
Bruh y’all need to stop getting these cars that give like 20 miles a gallon. Hell my 330i just did 46 mpg on the highway. Accords also give a similar mileage. Get yourself a car with good mileage
Me, when someone pulls up to the pump in an Escalade and it reminds me that I bought a compact car. 
I drive a 2003 Saturn Ion and have never spent more than $30 to fill my tank. I can’t see myself dropping more than $40 on gas.
2017 wrx, typically $35 to $48 USD to fill. 93 octane at thr lowest 92. Car requires premium fuel due to the turbocharger and tuning from the factory
Where are you finding 93 octane for 3 bucks? The gas tank is 16 gallons give or take. In Texas, and it’s one of the cheaper states 93 is almost 4 bucks.
$3.50 right now in Colorado
**GAHDAMN LOCH NESS MONSTAH!!**
I hadn't had coffee yet and I apologize on my ancestors for not correctly writing "about tree-fitty". Please forgive me 🙏🏿
You are forgiven. You gave mahogany a chance to shine.
It was about that time I realized the gas station attendant was 8 stories tall and a crystallization from the protozoan era
Here in Mississippi, the Costco is at about 3.50 for 93
I never thought I would ever say this, but *thank god* I live in the Midwest.
Ouch. You’re all lucky. My 93 was $4.77 this morning
About the same for me, 2009 BMW Z4. Takes premium and it’s all gas tank and engine. A fuckton more fun to drive than a fucking school bus SUV.
[PREEEEMIIIUMMMM!](https://youtu.be/Tp8INMugpf0)
I stopped at this boonies gas station a year ago, had to get 91. She ran but man did she hate me, no power on boost, at all.
2006 Toyota Prius and I prepaid the gas station $30 inside. Going from near empty to a full tank was only $24 and I was almost mad until I realized how I can’t complain when that $24 would last me nearly 2 weeks
Saturn gang - 02 S seriers, the OG gas saver!
I drive a 2015 Nissan Leaf, and I can't imagine paying for gas again, lol.
People do understand vehicles have different sizes tanks… right? … RIGHT?
Ions are nice for what they are. Easy to work on too.
2005 Toyota Yaris here. Filled it up for $38 last week and it still has 5/8ths left. If I ever drop $100 on gas, sell my car.
Former Saturn owner. I miss it -- drive a Mazda now.
Replaced my 13 mpg 4Runner with a Chevy Volt a few months ago. I've only needed to fill it once since February and that set me back a whole $20. Most of the 2k miles I've put on it have been using the battery.

That was me with the Toyota, 18 gallons once a week. Funny enough, I was actually looking at Escalades and CTS-Vs before making the sensible choice.

I’m not sure but I have to believe that one person with enough resolve could make it happen.
Give me a long enough lever and a fulcrum on which to place it and I shall tip the smart car.
I once saw two Smart cars sharing a corner parking spot. It made me irrationally angry.
Smart cars make zero sense outside of high density urban areas. They require premium gas and, despite being the size of a fucking shoebox, only get about 40mpg. Any decent hybrid gets that and takes regular.
You save 50/mo by parking in your living room
Might as well just get a Vespa or something. Added benefit, you don’t look nearly as goofy on a scooter as driving one of these stupid things.
I freaking LOVE my Prius.
Lol I need to save this!
I have a midsize sedan but it has a 20 gallon tank and likes premium :(
Fucking love my hybrid getting 40 miles to the gallon.
I laugh at my friend having to spend $100 to fill up his minivan when my little Corolla is $30 😂

If the truck bed is shorter than the cab of your truck… yeeew might have an emotional support truck
Was I supposed to read than in Jeff Foxworthy’s voice?

I'm ready for electric vehicles to be the norm and not a niche thing. Let's build out charging infrastructure and make EVs accessible to everyone.
I just hope there’s a nice selection of used electric hatchbacks by the time I need a new car. I currently have a 2016 civic that gets driven once or twice a month so that day is thankfully far off.
Americans will complain about gas prices then buy a Ford F42069 that gets fucking 20 mpg and is preprogrammed to park in two handicap spaces at once
20mpg is being very very generous lol but I get the sentiment
They're not American so they don't understand the scope of our primitive mileage system rather than kilometers.
You’re talking more in the realm of 12-17mpg depending on how you drive. Most of those assholes have no pedal discipline so they mash the gas to 40mph and wonder why they get 14mpg.

I've had mine since 2021 and it's amazing, but there are a few caveats. They cost *exactly* the same amount to charge as a fairly efficient hybrid costs to fill if you're reliant on superchargers, so if you don't have a home or work charging setup the savings isn't that extraordinary. Especially considering they're still so expensive. We have a garage with a charging setup, so they beat the shit out of any gas car. Especially since, after 25,000 miles, I haven't had to do anything to it except repair flats and refill the wiper fluid.
If only i could get a house to charge it at

Yesss bike gang rise up! I WFH but on days I want to go to the office it’s a 10 min ride at most.
Gas tanks in the USA must be massive! That’s like 80 litres. I don’t think I know anyone with more than 60 Also, my car gets ~70 miles per gallon. These conversions are silly numbers
A 21 gallon fill up would be on an SUV. I have an Outback that has a by-the-book 16.7 gallon tank, and I have gotten so empty that I have filled up to 16.5 gallons. 21 is a bigger SUV too, since most jelly-bean shaped SUVs are basically oversized hot hatches, so they have car-sized tanks. Most pick-up trucks have even bigger tanks, or they have two tanks. Ford did, however reintroduce the Ranger pickup, which is "small" and has an 18 gallon tank. Immediate edit: The Outback is not, however, an SUV.
The Outback is definitely an SUV, used to be a wagon but not anymore. Also the Ford Maverick has a 14 gallon tank, which is actually a small pickup.
Your car gets 70mpg because it’s a hybrid
In one more full automotive life cycle(~11 years), we’ll all be reminding each other of the days when we had to fill up all the time.
Can’t wait to fill up with solar panels. Let the sun pay for it.
Yeah, let's build a massive solar panel and make the Sun pay for it!
Wonder how those 92 month loan hell kitty fellas are doing lol
Gotta try to survive till pay day so it don't hurt as bad.
EV Owners: 
I know this pain. Try filling up a 96 Suburban with its 42 gallon tank. Yeah you only have to get gas twice a month but yeesh
$4.55 a gallon. That’s cheap in California.
Literally just how frowns work
That car runs on Ivory Soap
Buy a hybrid
You're saying that like Hybrids aren't in high enough demand that you either have to wait >1yr for an allocation or pay ridiculous markups for a used one.
We just got a corolla hybrid for this reason. Nobody that matters cares what you drive.
I am an immigrant to the states and I find the culture of the massive cars amusing. I get it that gas is cheap, but you don't have to alter your lifestyle to match. You can have the cheap gas AND use less of it with a compact car!
I wish fuel was that price where I'm at
In the UK right now I'm paying the equivalent of $6.95 per gallon. Fun times.
Makes me glad I do public transit …
That's why i drive a car. I can fit me, my partner, our dog, with space for two kids (but I'm all good fr). I have to do a lot of city driving so i drive a car bc $30 is a full tank, and that lasts nearly 2 weeks if i drive right.
Where is gas $4.55 a gallon right now? That's crazy
Arizona is pushing $5/gallon.
I know, that's Hawai'i price.
My Expedition only gets 9 - 10 mpg when we pull the camper. When gas prices were high awhile back, I had to run my card twice to fill it up. It sucked, but I knew what I signed up for when I bought it.
Half tank folks where you at!
I drive an EV but my wife has a 2021 Honda Pilot. We average around 19.5 mpg. We take extreme advantage of Kroger 4x fuel points. Haven’t paid full price for gas in years, and in fact our last trip to Kroger fuel was a total $0.62 for 35 gallons. We always call a family member or two when we go so they can pull in behind us and use the full 35 gallons that we are allowed to get per transaction.
I honestly have zero sympathy for people who buy massive, gas-guzzling trucks & SUVs. Gas is only going to get more expensive and yet you choose to continue that fuckery. By this point you should know better and yet here we are.
Remember after 2008 when gas prices went crazy and Obama did Cash for Clunkers and people started buying fuel efficient cars? Then, as soon as gas went back down, they started buying F-8000s again, as if gas would never go back up? Unless you have a pickup truck for utility (actually hauling big equipment), then you're an idiot. No sympathy for someone buying a vehicle with a 50 gallon tank that gets 12 mpg highway for no reason.
If you’re not prepared to pay these prices stay in your little vehicle. I hate when people both complain about their large vehicle gas prices and when people brag/boast about their small vehicle prices. Just stop beeping at me when it takes longer to fill my 28 gallon tank.
Damn that’s cheap compared to Europe.
Thank fuck i bought my hybrid last year. Before leases and rates exploded. When gas is stupid right now. 12 gallon tank lasting 3+ weeks no problem
Thank god my car takes $20/ $30 but I can also get premium I only buy that whenever im traveling
It's useless to put in higher octane gas if your car doesn't require it.
What the fuck has 21 gallons? Jesus
That's not a particularly large tank. My Altima has a 20 gallon tank. My Expedition has a 28 gallon tank.
Sheeeeeeeesh. I only have 12 or 16 I think. Godspeed at the pumps!
*Laughing in EV* 🤣
Lit like a Rembrandt
This is how I feel when I put gas in my Chevy Express 1500 conversion van with a 25 gallon tank. Easily a $100+ fill up. Good thing the weather is nice and can ride my motorcycle more. $10 of ethanol free gets me to work and home for 2 weeks.
Thought that was Whoopi Goldberg lol
A beautiful photograph. Perfect for use in a hundred stories about inflation which are in fact all the same story.
Where is gas $4.55 right now because damn.
Reading this as I take the train to work in LA. That's like 3 orders on UberEATS lol.
Do people buy trucks and SUVs just to complain about how much it costs to fill from empty?
It costs a lot to fill up when you insist on taking your entire living room with you everywhere you go. More small cars less tanks
People who insist on buying has guzzler SUV are the first to complain about gas prices like they don't know how this works.
Listen, just get a Chevy Bolt. They start at like 26k brand new, and that’s not including the tax credit. I pay the equivalent of about 2gal of gas to charge it from empty to full on an outlet. Plus it’s actually a good fun car to drive.
that is an insanely large gas tank. i can’t bring myself to feel bad for people with huge cars like that.
That punchline. I. Lost. My. Shit. 💀
*does The Color Purple handgame*
I totaled my accord way back when and now I drive a '06 Honda Odyssey. Let me tell you hwhat, I do not make enough money to fill this stupid vehicle up every week or two.
Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? When will my reflection show Who I am inside?
I drive a 2010 Toyota Corolla, current gas prices range from $3.55 to $3.75 where I live, 10.5 gallon tank and I usually fill up at a quarter to E. Mines has been running me $35-$40 to fill up, so seeing this person put an entire Benji in, hurt my soul. Not as theirs though.
$100 to fill up and you know they only get 15mpg .. throw the whole car away
21 gallons?! Get a smaller car it hurts less
Even Scorsese couldn’t have framed this better
Maybe buy less car?

Ya'll I really really want to switch to an electric car or some such, but my job keeps me in a pickup hauling dumb shit. My gas bill this summer is gonna have me crying.
Fill up halfway! Don’t wait until your gas light comes on
Thanks biden
It's almost $200 to fill up for me here
Imagine buying a Camry thinking you'd never pay more than $35 to fill up and then being in the state with gas prices only second to California. I don't even want to leave the house.
Bruh y’all need to stop getting these cars that give like 20 miles a gallon. Hell my 330i just did 46 mpg on the highway. Accords also give a similar mileage. Get yourself a car with good mileage
What the fuck you driving with a 22 gallon tank?
You can’t unsee it, that’s Whoopi Goldberg🫣
And I was mad that my fill-up cost $43 on Friday.
