I just put gas in my 2014 pathfinder, I had a quarter of a tank left and it cost me 80 $cnd to fill it up.

Gas is about the same price here in Abitibi

Ouch! Better start driving the datsun more.

It used to cost be $50 to fill up my Golf, but you can’t tow anything or haul engines with it.

Yeah that one.

That’s still $90 in USD. Ouch!

Yeah, but that’s $26 in Loonies.

Maybe you could just do a plastic heat shirink wrap the entire car except the wheels and a little hole in the grill? Hmmmmm.... E-Type as an example.

Pah.

117 l would cost me about €160, or CAD 225

E-Type might be the best car to wrap in plastic...

Ha! Welcome to Europe where people actually use Golfs diesels and the like to tow caravans. And do it (usually) safely and legally. Note that trailers are designed differently (tongue weight) and that while towing you by definition are restricted to a speed limit of 80-100 kmh, depending on country. Point being, the picture above is normal. In Europe.

And those 117 liters will net you how many km’s?

Tell me about it, my sx4 had a 40 l tank, now it’s at least 80. And you seem to have at least 120l

So roughtly $1 a liter. I wish it was that cheap here. Huge tank by the way.

I can understand that it’s normal, but a Golf isn’t going to be able to haul engines around while also carrying a trailer and a car on the back. I also don’t need a caravan when I can sleep in the back ;)

117 of course

Heh, it would be funnier if it wasn’t an overestimation.

I learned to drive a stick on my dad’s ‘85 GMC 2500, which may have had the same 350v8 and 2bbl carb? It had a 3-spd and a 4.10 diff and factory dual fuel tanks!

That’s siiiiick. I’m still liking my truck, although more thirsty and harder to park, it just feels awesome to drive.

I don’t even think I spent the most money at that pump, lots of people here drive giant pickup trucks that probably get about the same MPG, I really don’t feel alienated at all, haha

I’m just thankful that gas is still hovering around $1/L.

Someone put a 351 in the back of a FiST. A Golf is cavernous in comparison.

About €180 here, assuming a mid priced pump (CAD $254, USD $191).

That’s only 1 cent off what gasoline costs at the pump 2 minutes from my home.

€85.69 for 117.46 liters, so €0.729 a liter. Or about half of what it costs in Western Europe. I don’t know what this is in your legacy units.

While I totally understand why it’s normal in Europe ... it also sounds dreadfully miserable!

According to my maths Alex paid about $3 US per gallon... which still sucks!

If you were in freedomland you’d only have a 40 gallon tank, instead of 152 liters ;)

Wacko > shop-teacher 01/18/2017 at 21:41

Shit I forgot, that’s when it was about 1.50 Cnd a liter

And I think it came up to 4 to 4.50 us a gallon

Is gas always more expensive right before Christmas and during the middle of summer in the states too?

shop-teacher > Wacko 01/18/2017 at 21:43

0

Yeah, demand spikes then because people are traveling, so the price goes up here too.

Wacko > shop-teacher 01/18/2017 at 21:49

I know the why, just didn’t know if it happened to you guys too.

Here the price of gas always goes up too during hunting season, and the opening of the fishing season.

Yep, it definitely does.

That seems funny, but makes perfect sense.
