All Odysseys (Odyssies? ) since 1999 have been automatic. The 99-01 had a 4-speed auto. In 2002 they added the 5th gear to it, but it was poorly engineered. Since they were all automatics, I said 5-speed to mean 5 automatic.

I also see a lot of those older reverse oil wells on craigslist, at least here locally they seem to have increased and the prices are laughable.

Big oil has 99% of people brainwashed I to thinking 2.99 (what I paid last night) is cheap. Now if it was 1.25-1.75 a gallon, that would be more reasonable. I'm only spending 6 cents a mile in my insight anyway, but still.

A little over 3cpm for the bike and 7cpm for the Sentra. .3 mile from my front door it's $2.499 a gallon today. I paid 1 cpm in 1968 for my 59 Sprite.

$2.29 per gallon here. That brings me up to $0.07 per mile in the Civic. That number keeps dropping as gas prices decrease and my MPG increases. Here in Oklahoma the gas has always been cheaper, and compared to what we paid in Illinois, this is really dirt cheap. I'm hoping to see it go back down to $1.50 like it was when we were here the first time.

Last tank was the worst tank I have put on Turtle's fuel log, and I still only spent just a bit over 4 cents a mile, lol.
If gas jumped to 10 bucks a gallon tomorrow, I'd still only be at 16 cents a mile, which is less than I was spending in the Land Rover two years ago

If gas jumped up to $10 tomorrow, I would not be driving anywhere, I'd invest in a bike with seat warmers if I have to.

I think I'm closer to 5 cents a mile, it says 6 on my fuel log, but that's with the 56mpg. I haven't gotten under 61mpg round trip anywhere since I got the Re92's.

The average diesel/premium petrol price here is ~$7/gal

Even with the taxes, $3.13/gal in NYS, US gas prices are lower than many countries. Buses and scooters offer the best passenger miles per gallon. My bike fairing keeps me plenty warm pedaling. Our '02 Grand Caravan is a great candidate for a boat tail and other aeromods. One can wish for Chrysler to mate a V6 diesel to a 9 spd trans in a van.

Man, I saw my first fuel under $2.40/g today. Put in for a mileage allowance at work today...them boys pay 35c/m!

I had a motorcycle accident last year. No scootering for me!
