Still $1.569/gallon when I filled my Corolla this morning.  $16 and change for a full tank of gas.  4Runner was under $30 for the full tank.

So you're a Toyota guy I guess? :D

Oil will continue to drop in price. Of course with OPEC keeping prices down,
it'll give reasons for states to increase gas taxes.

Still over 2.40 here in Pa, thanks to some infrastructure taxes put on gas that were just passed this year

Oh well.....guess it's better than our bridges falling down (and in all honesty it seems like they are doing a lot of work on our infrastructure ATM. )
moved from Pittsburgh to Philly a week and a half ago...

 It was 2.67 on the west side and 2.20-2.30 over here. It's already down to 2.17 since I have gotten here and has dropped .04 in last two days.

Saw it at $ 1.73 in a good part of town, ironically continuing on through a bad part it was as high as $ 1.99; must be more to that.

Very durable cars but I don't like driving them (anymore). My first two cars were Toyotas - and they withstood an unimaginable amount of beating. Everything from burnouts with the puny 1.3 liter engine to 4 wheel slides and handbrake turns on tarmac. And the only service I gave them was to add oil when the black goo on the stick started dropping lol.

My first Toyota was pre owned by an old farmer. When I bought it it had a top speed of 90km/h (53mph). It just didn't go any faster pedal to the metal. By the time I had driven it 2 months the car did already 160km/h to the clock on a new driver 80 limit. :D

   I had an 86 Toyota Corolla and a Front End Loader rolled down a hill where I was parked at work (park brake failed) and smashed the left rear trunk and quarter panel. Drove it another year after I cut out the damage and welded in parts from a junk yard then sold it.

    Nothing bad to say about Toyota except the "silent recalls".  :noid

I find Toyotas to be long on reliability/durability, but a bit short on quality. Cheap plastics and quick-fix solutions. I owned a 2nd gen 4-runner back in the '90s. The shoulder sash guide of the rear seat belts were mounted by bolting them through the roof. The bolt heads were literally protruding out of the top of the car. I kid you not. Durable? Sure, but pretty it was not.

Who remembers the Top Gear Toyota Hilux they tried to destroy by crashing it, smashing it with a wrecking ball, dropping it from a crane, sinking it in a lake, burning it and it still started after some quick service?

Family has/had 6; 2RAVs, 2Camrys, 1 4Runr, 1Tacoma. Seat belts in some way and their retrieve all have had issues. Small complaint for nothing else, except one thing on the first Camry, engine oil seals; blue smoke...
