well i'll find out this morning how much more we have to pay for our Tuscon with the new increase in tax....
The gas is another story in itself since we move from south to pos everyday  |

Gosh the increase because of the MVT is going to hurt.
As for the south to POS run everyday (and weekends too), I know it well....I am just happy they did not raise the price on diesel..yet  |

well spoke to the sales rep and he said that once we are buying one of the vehicles parked at Mid centre mall, we won't have to pay the MVT...that means we may have to take any colour we get, which is fine cause the MVT may work up to an extra $8K-$10K...
DW at least you have diesel...gemini and i wld have to deal with premium price...  |

Yeah, I know what you mean. The difference in diesel was a bit, but with the amount of driving I do, it was working out cheaper in the long run to go diesel. |

Hottgirl you have to take gas or you could take diesel?
In my case I had to take gas.
Its averaging to be an extra $40-$50 for each full up.
I just think twice abt driving around to much when not at work or school which are a must. |

well diesel is over the budgeted amount, so we have to take gas....
normally with our B14 we have to fill up every other day, i wonder how often we'd have to fill up with the Tuscon? and i am sure that we'll be driving the B14 when we are not going to work! |

Actually, I had a B14 and when compared to using the Tucson its not much more gas being used. It just cost more to fill up as I guess its a bigger tank.
Not sure if I observed wrong.  |

I dont know what the current price was ( pre or post ) budget, but when I got mine in 2007:
4x2 GL diesel - 220K
4x4 GL diesel - 234K
4x4 GLS diesel - 262K
$248K is for what model Sportage, 4x2 / 4x4, lower spec or higher spec ?
hotgirl and or Gem_in_i might have a better idea of current pricing on the diesel Tucson, ppl ???
I heard a rumour that Lifestyle was / is bringing down a diesel variant to the SGV (not the XL7)..any truth to that ? |

I need to pay more attention.
I've started since Tuesday to keep a record of how much I spend on gas. I never did it before so I would have nothing to compare it to.
So in a months time I would see $$$ spent  |

Thanks.
The Sportage model is the 4x4. High spec I guess (only)

Lifestyle will be introducing the Chevy Captive 2.0L VCDi LS Turbo Diesel. Don't look for a diesel SGV, none are available for this region, yet. When it is, they would be manual only.  |

DW, i don't know the exact prices of the diesel but i know that its higher than what you paid for it in 2007.
with our B14 we'd usually spend $120 every two days and a total of $360/week, which totals to abt $1,400/month.....(yea, we keep records of everything)
Knowing that the Tuscon has a bigger engine, i am guessing that we're gonna be paying a lot more on gas. |

Maybe I used to spend tht amt to.
I usually am more concerned abt recording my kms than $$$ spent on gas.  |

I used to spend about $120.00 every two days to fill a galant, between the gas and repair costs, it made no sense again.
I always check the KM I get vs how much I paid to fill the tank. So far after a year, the average is still the same for me.
Gosh..they raised the price again on the diesel..and then now the MVT went up..it must be close to 300K for the GLS one now  |

^^ same with me.
Everyone knows abt me and my ac.
I think it keeps the inside of the vehicle new to with the windows always being up. Inside my B14 was very clean and new.  |
