    But certain people on this board assure us completely that in a week or two gas will be under a buck.

    When gas hits $10 a gallon, I'll still be walking to work part of the time and working from home the rest. I might need an armed guard on the vegetable patch, though.

    I filled up tonight and was startled to see Chevron Premium 92 octane for $4.09 in Fairfield, CA. :eek:

    I got home to Lincoln, CA. (76 miles away) and Premium was $3.89 at a no-name station.

    Everytime I fill up I'm sooo happy I gave up the race cars for the Prius.

    I :love: my MFD.

    $1.249 per litre here today, which is $4.75 per US gallon. (assuming dollars at par) I think that's the highest I've seen it here. I remember when it was 23 cents a litre, no dollar signs. I'm really not that old, I just have a good memory. :D

    Or, I will have converted my Prius to a PHEV. I imagine it would cost less to convert to a PHEV than go to a full EV. $10/gallon gas should make the Cost/Benefit decision fairly simple.

    My car is filling up in the garage as I write this. Six cents per kilowatt-hour. Two cents per mile. :nod:

    I know is silly to wait until the last pip is blinking ... but you fillup after using just one of ten gallons?!? That's way crazy! :D

    $10 a gallon? The question is, "when". I'm guessing 2011 with many counties hitting that mark in early 2010.

    It is definately one to keep an eye on. I bet Daniel already has the company on speed dial. :D

    Good. When do you expect delivery? PHEV or EV version?

    If you want to think about it, my Prius gets 3 times the gas mileage as the average SUV, so in relation to what I pay and what they pay my $3.29 gallon gas already equals $10 gallons for them.
