Topic: Test Drive: 2015 Jeep Renegade

Wow you are lucky.

In ontario it's 17-20 cents difference.  http://www.newfoundlandgasprices.com/Shell_Gas_Stations/Kanata/78321/index.aspx

Same in Alberta.  Was a 18 cent difference today.

[dirtyjeffer]

Where is premium 6 cents more than regular?   It's 20 cents around here

i guess it depends on where you are...but yes, premium is usually 20 cents/litre more...Costco only charges 12c/litre, so that buffers it a bit.

[pcsp]

20 cents per liter would definitely factor into my purchasing decisions. That's 20% more in fuel costs! Same with diesel, the price to buy the fuel partially negates any savings.

price is the issue here....Jeep is off the mark by quite a bit. Worst part is that the 2016 model is even more expensive than the 2015! Hard to justify a $500 increase on a vehicle that is already overpriced.

agree, also the price of the cheapest version with auto is now $1645 more as they have now added compulsory features into the auto package.  The cheapest AT 2016 version is now $24,630 last year it was $22,985.  Wonder whatever "forced" increases have taken place?

probably trying to recoup from the 300 million they lost in the 3rd quarter

I noticed about a 6 cent premium here in NB as well recently.

Super Premium is 81Octane down east 'eh BOYO??

....or settle the pending strikes    I also noticed that the cheapest 2016 Renegade with AWD and AT is now $29,135, you can get for example a 2016 Sportage LX AWD AT for $27,495 or the new Tucson at $28,999

[tooscoops]

or keep aside for future 9-speed lawsuits.... or pay the added holding costs at the shipping yard in halifax... or pay the back taxes the courts are trying to get from fca...

the possibilities are endless!

hell, all my 2015's just showed up in the last week... i'm not too eager to put in orders for 2016's right at the moment...

anyway, at least our jump in octane isn't this bad (a friend just sent me this pic...)

91 is a steal!!

91 is a steal!!

91 was 108.9 here on the weekend.  I filled up regular unleaded for 90.9.

i filled up on Friday (?) at Costco with 91 for $1.009/liter...Costco's Premium is almost always 10-20c/liter cheaper...the other good thing is my car is fine with their fuel (it's picky).

yea, i have a feeling they use Shell products, at least based on the way they've marketed their quality fuels.

i haven't tried Costco's Regular in my Rio5 to see if it likes it...i'm tempted, but haven't done it.

Nothing wrong with Coscto gas, my Wrangler likes the Regular just fine, seems to get decent gas mileage with it & my Porsche enjoys the Premium.

On Sunday, Lady No-san went wedding dress shopping.  Lady No-san's father had a migraine, so he told me to take the 996 Turbo out for funzies and then to have it washed.  He gave me $ for it, too.

I felt bad about putting 80km on it, especially with the shenanigans I pulled in terms of flooring it, so I filled it with gas (I got it with about 3/4 of a tank).  Ultra 94 at Petrocan was $1.179 compared to $1.039 for regular.  Weird, but I wasn't complaining   Cost $21 to fill 1/2 a tank

So you're saying a 911 Turbo has a 40 L tank?

Cost $21 to fill ~1/2 a tank

I think we are seeing a market adjustment for the. 75 dollar. What did US prices do?

$1000 bucks extra across the board.
