Gas Tank Envy: The Death of the Chevy Suburban

feature photo

Hot off the CNN press: “The $100 dollar fill-up has arrived.” If your vehicle has a 25 gallon plus gas tank, and you live in San Francisco, you just broke the gas ceiling. And don’t stop short, the rest of the country is right behind you.

Driving a larger SUV, Pick-up, or of course, our friend the Hummer? You might want to look into refinancing the house.

If Arnold (Schwarzenegger) hadn’t converted his Hummer to hydrogen, it would cost him $128 to fill his gas tank. With about 10 miles to the gallon, even if you can afford the Hummer, you have to feel it a little.

I can usually find anything doing a Google search. But I could not find a compiled list of gas tank sizes for vehicles.

Perhaps it’s because it hasn’t been important until now.

I was going to be the first to compile such a list, but inadverdently deleted the table 30 minutes into it. So, no list. What’s really important is total costs to own a vehicle from start to finish, anyway, and you can read about that here: Cars: Compare Cost to Buy vs. Cost to Own.

In the mean time:

Ever think about telecommuting?
