Disadvantage to recording fuel purchases
I record my gas purchases and I just discovered that I have spent nearly $17,000 on gas since bought this Z.

My brother, the freak, has 4 Volts.
I made him give me his man card after the first. $17,000 is pretty cheap for a permanent grin.

Be glad you're paying for fuel for a motorhome. My last trip with it was 6,000 miles. Spent $2,500 on fuel. So quit you're belly aching.

What is the point or concern here? It's a sports car.
Prius owners rejoice! (?). I don't think so. I am stating the obvious here and I am personally cool with it. The cost of ownership is high for us who mod our Z's. I keep my mod and service receipts and occasionally look at it. I am also 72k into it here in CA. Never once did I say wtf.

It's just a shock when you see how much money you've spent on gas.

Got my Z in the beginning of may, and stopped driving it just a month ago.
Total of 4 months and my gas cost was $1480~ish Makes you think how much a fun drive costs compared to an economy car. Had a Prius last year, spend less than $1000 on gas in the 24 month period i had it. I've noticed that sluggish cars make me want to drive slower and more efficient also. Used to get 65 MPG going to work in that car :/ |
