i doubt he has any upgraded **** on it. gas mileage will be about the same. 2.4 to a 2.0 with turbo.

:bsface

no its def not the same. just because u think that extra .4 will make up for mileage, it wont. i have a redtop and my mileage is down to 13 mpg (on streets). My ka had about 18 mpg. the turbocharger eats up ur gas quicker, its common knowledge that it does that.

Even though those of us in California have it pretty bad compared to the rest of the States, look at Europe. Most of the world's oil is index-linked to OPEC, right? So gas prices around the world shift at relatively similar rates.

Since the rest of the world goes by liters, here's what one liter of gas cost in US currency around the world last August. (Old data, I know, but the trend continues today.)

UK 1.176 Norway 1.142 Finland 1.109Netherlands 1.031 France 1.005 Belgium 0.988 Italy 0.979 Sweden 0.978 Denmark 0.966Germany 0.930Austria 0.851Ireland 0.845 Hungary 0.819Portugal 0.788Switzerland 0.771Poland 0.759Luxembourg 0.757Greece 0.744Spain 0.735Czech Republic 0.735USA 0.394

WTF? The USA pays the least? Remember that 1 gal = 3.8 L. Multiply all those numbers by 3.8 and you'll see why the world thinks the US is a bunch of whining biatches. (ex. 1 gal in UK = 4.469US)

But yes, $3.00/gal blows.

oh yeah, just somethign my friend told me about that made a lot of sense. when you hear of gas prices going up, dont you rush to get gas bc you know its going up. you do right? but when a lot of people have that mentality and stuff, it makes the demand of gas go up. put that into the supply and demand theory, that makes the gas prices go up even more ! :(
