 That's a 42-percent increase in fuel efficiency from 12 miles per gallon to 17 miles per gallon, so it's really a significant savings. |
| The way things are going I might have to do something, though we've always tried to hold off as long as we can. Our buses get about six to seven miles per gallon. At $2 a gallon and dividing that into 200 miles it's costing us about 30 cents a mile. At $2.80 a gallon it costs us 40 cents a mile. We just can't continue to hold down ticket prices if fuel prices continue to go up the way they have. |
| As a team the increased fuel costs, naturally, affect your budget. Figure this: the transporter that we run gets about 6 1/2 to 7 miles per gallon at best, 4 1/2 at worst. Obviously, the increased fuel cost makes a considerable difference, especially with all of these trips we're making to the West Coast now. |
| If a car was as fuel-efficient as these black holes, it could theoretically travel over a billion miles on a gallon of gas. |
| There's so many other Toyota vehicles they can buy in the 40 miles a gallon range. You can get a Honda Civic automatic that gets 30 and 40 (miles per gallon). Do I need a Honda hybrid? |
| It was a pretty good battle; we were a lot faster on the banking than the BMW. We were able to hold it tight and really get a run out of them. We must have been getting about six or seven miles an hour out of the exits which helped us out in the straights. We had a really bad pit stop; I'm not sure what happened with the fuel, but I think we were there for a minute and 29 seconds. We'll have to look at that and make it better because that hurt us a lot. |
| Diesel is $1 a gallon higher than a year ago, ... When you average five miles a gallon -- that's a lot of money. |
Cliff Hall (1894-)
| From a practical aspect, when you do the math the hybrid alternative is not always best financial choice because they cost more, and so a smaller car with a fuel economy of 30 miles per gallon is an attractive alternative, especially in urban areas. |
| We usually worked just a couple of miles behind the front lines. I guess a lot of our job was transferring gasoline from 55-gallon drums to 5-gallon cans, |
| For example, the Chevrolet Yukon SUV weighs 6,000 pounds, ... [The government's fuel efficiency] standards expect a car of that weight to get about 12 miles to the gallon, but the Yukon gets an estimated 20. Because it exceeds those expectations, it qualifies for a tax credit. |

| The fact is, we didn't get the fuel mileage the other teams got, ... As a result, we ended up having to stop, which was very disappointing. Essentially, we came up a half-gallon short. |
| If you look at surveys about buying priorities right now, fuel economy ranks sixteenth. For Honda buyers, its fourteenth. Only 2 percent of Honda buyers even think of fuel economy at all. It's not even on the radar. A fuel hike might get it on radar, but it probably won't make it item one, two, three of four. They see the larger vehicles meeting other needs and even with $2.50 a gallon gas, they're not going to necessarily give it up. |
