Really, ...Yeah, yeah, I'm working on the pictures. Really, they're fascinating pictures of holes and wires and cabinets on the carpeting.<BR/><BR/>I never really worried about how much I was paying for gas until recently when it's starting to be real money. Back when I was paying $12-$20 to fill my tank, my friend in germany with the same Golf was paying about $33 to fill up. It was only with the CA prices 10 years later (meaning this last year) that I hit that $33 price point. I consider anything above that to be too much, and $40 was a bit of a shock. I bought a car with good gas mileage on purpose, but it still doesn't hold a candle to half the cars across the pond. And it has the same "listed" gas mileage as my '85 nissan stanza. I've gone up 20 model years and NO (zip zero nada) improvement in gas mileage. But it was $6K more that I didn't have to get a hybrid.<BR/><BR/>And with the way the dollar is trading against the pound these days, I think I *almost* caught up to you in gas $$.CrankyOtterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863609824154763580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434495502175776916.post-39750339132171687912008-03-16T17:34:00.000-07:002008-03-16T17:34:00.000-07:00Would it make you feel any better if I said what y...Would it make you feel any better if I said what you pay in $'s to fill your tank is what I pay in £? I think the last time I filled the tank on the VW Polo it was £36, no idea how much the new car is going to cost me.PSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582507849996632115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434495502175776916.post-10992259116978409592008-03-14T08:07:00.000-07:002008-03-14T08:07:00.000-07:00not so much a comment as a requesthow bout some ph...not so much a comment as a request<BR/><BR/>how bout some photos of the cabinet installation, I have a home reno fetish.......<BR/><BR/>QLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
