Why did i buy an Si?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

Because it's an entry level fuel efficient economy car with a little extra performance for people like me and you. Sure you have to pay a couple bucks more than someone with regular 87 octane, but you're getting 30+ miles to the gallon. I don't see what you're b_tching about.

 

It's $4.27 for premium where I live, and price goes up every couple of days.

 

Gas prices have been on the rise for a long time. if you were worried about gas you should have bought a scooter.

 

That is exactly why I bought the EX....I test drove both but when I saw that it gets 5 less MPG and needed premium I went for the 140 horsepower EX. I average around 35 MPG which is awesome for a regular car that isn't a hybrid.....I have my muscle cars for the performance cause lets be honest you are not buying a Civic cause you want performance.

 

this is why i have a mini cooper type s to have fun in and a honda 06 civic ex to drive 30mile to and from work...

 

oh and were i live i paid 4.14 a gallon for regular yesterday

 

All I will say is that you do have a knock sensor....

 

This economy is in trouble and there's really nothing we can do about it. And oil prices are probably at the root of the problem.

And there's already experts predicting $15/gallon for gas prices in the future.

So deal with it. WE'RE SCREWED unless we have a major overhaul in technological developments....like SOON.

 

everyone knows how much our fuel costs. why does this warrant a thread? whats up with these 08's?

negative...YOU can do that if you like.

11:1 comp and 87 is not a good mix. i wouldn't bet my motor on it

 

It seriously comes out to 2-3 more bucks per fill up. I personally fill up twice a month. 72 bucks more a year. Seriously, just eat out 1 fewer time per month. $2-3 more per fill up isn't that much, and you can't put a price on the enjoyment you get from your Si.

 

^ twice a month, thats pretty good...i fill up once a week

4.23 is regular where i live...

 

Correction, $4.45 a gallon, went up 10 cents a gallon last night.


Your luck, "Super +" is $4.35 a gallon where I live. 100 octane is $7.25 a gallon. I use a mix because of the Supercharger (not needed, but safer).

Anyway, the price of gas is one of the reasons my SI stays in the garage most the time.

Geez if you guys are making this big a deal about gas prices now, i would love to see your faces a year or two from now when it REALLY starts to sky-rocket.

Meanwhile all of the corporate big time oil company executives will be reaping the benefits driving their Ferraris and Porsches, laughing at you from the other side of their 70" plasma screens in their acre-sized houses.

God bless America.

Capitalism at its finest

Lets face it, we drive Civics, we're the last ones to be bitching lol. Here, premium is 10cents or so more than regular. Comes out to be like a $1.20 more for a premium fill-up

 

Were all still gonna complain regardless. All though we have somewhat of an advantage driving Civic cars, it still pisses me off that what now costs $45 to fill up would have only cost less than $20 eight years ago right before Bush took office.

$100 a month wasted...a good chunk of which im sure is going into the pocket of people such as the CEO of Exxon and his $2 million a year salary.

google what a knock sensor is and what it does. hes basically saying you COULD run 87 and not run into major issues.

 

you guys and your cheap gas. 4.239/gallon equals $1.14/liter. im paying 1.37/liter for premium. and thats 91 octane. equals out to 5.069/gallon
