Wtf do you drive, an M1 Abram tank?
100kms round trip commute in a 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit. Also doing 300km round trips on the weekends a couple times a month so that don’t help.
It’s supposed to be fine on gas and to be fair I’ve been having check engine light and some tire issues that have been affecting mileage but before I invest too much in fixing those wanted to check out other car options.
That's a lot of KMs on the poor car. I'm a little confused on the price and gas monthly cost because of the "$". I was thinking those were dollars. I assume, those aren't $500 dollars a month?
Oh good point. Like someone else said, that’s $500CAD. So in real money it’s like $300. Also gas is more expensive up here than my southern brethren.
"real money" 😂 CAD is real money, too, ain't it?
OP said elsewhere that they're in Canada, so $500 Canadian dollars.
Ok, that makes more sense now. Still too much money for gas. Damn
So that's roughly 600km per week, 2400 per month? Damn dude, that is a lot. A hybrid won't help you much because electric motors are mostly used at low speeds, like to get going from traffic lights in a city, which saves a lot of fuel. They don't do much on highways.
Oh good point about hybrids, I hadn’t thought of that.
