Have Gas Prices Modified Your Taco Time?

glad i never took my chinstrap off

 

Hasn't really impacted me much. I don't need to drive any considerable distance to work (just to the train station). The majority of my driving is long-distance driving (150 miles each way), mostly highway, and maybe two round trips a month. I prefer to batch my errands / shopping to minimize trips, but I did that before gas prices increased. I just like to get shit done with fewer trips.

I did have the gas pump shut off on me for the first time ever... thought something was wrong, until I realized there was a limit on how much I can pump in a single fill. ($75 apparently...)

 

9.5 million miles??? Do you think you'll be able to do that in a summer?

 

Not at all. It is what it is. However, I don't commute for work but even if I did it wouldn't change anything for me

 

No.

 

I have not changed my driving habits. I do try and fill up at 3/4 tank instead of waiting till I have 5 gallons in the tank. Spent $75 for 17.049 gallons earlier this week.

 

It's doable..it's a Tacoma..come on man!

 

I recently added a victory roof rack, but I'm hoping the KDmax tune will offset any MPG loss so I don't have to change my driving habits!

 

duly noted. figured it was safe since I didn't point fingers left or right.

 

Haven't changed my driving habits one bit. Now that summer is here, I'll likely ride my motorcycle more often, but that's a change that happens every summer.

 

Nope, and I still run the AC.

 

I'm a certified genius. Traded in my 2018 Civic Si (39 mpg w/premium fuel) this week for a 2017 DCLB Sport 4x4. I traded in a 2011 DCSB Prerunner for the civic and was kicking myself the whole time I had it. So to answer the question nope. Good riddance to the Civic and I'm loving the Taco!

 

you could get an electric car and tow the truck with it if you really need the hauling capacity

 

I don't drive the Land Cruiser as much when its so spendy but I still drive the taco all I want and my corolla to get to the day job... No point wasting more money than I have to to go make money ya know?

 

Rember landline telephones, I don't know how much they used to cost, never had a bill in my name. Then cell phones came along and you have to plug them in, and I think the service plan for those cost more than a landline, and the hardware is certainly more expensive. I guess you can't take a landline every where you go, but those sure were more economical.

It's funny how people will change their behavior in order to spend more money.

 

Nope, actually paying about $110 less per month for fuel compared to my old truck.

 

No changes here. I don't put a lot of miles on my truck - one of the advantages of working 100% remote. Got the truck almost exactly a year ago and it has just under 6,200 miles on it. Yea it costs more when I fill it, but I don't fill it that often where it's becoming a burden.

 

I should be driving my daily that gets 30mpg but I don't... LOL

 

How do those fare offroad, my YJ does good with 235s but even that seems a bit narrow for the weight of the truck, I mostly run up the cast and mud have a brand new set of 265 75 16s looking to shelve for some better mileage.
