Ill tell you what i care about but nobody else cares about.... friggin ESSO gas, petro can gas, save on gas, DOMO and all the other not top tier gasoline.

why would anyone put that in their car when its the same price for top tier gasoline!?

Even if you say its a marketing ploy, why would you risk it when its literally the same price.

Of all the wrapped cars you see on the road, why is it that a vast majority of them are Teslas?

Because only one color is free. Other colors cost between 1 to 2k. The free color changes when ever they feel like it. The colors are also pretty boring.

So what you're saying is that a Honda Civic has more interesting colours than a Tesla?

Acura is nothing but a RDX selling conduit now.

Nobody is going to miss the TLX either, I thought it actually looked pretty cool lots of presence on the road but the performance and price point were not at all aligned.

I dunno how they fucked up the TL with the TLX. I understand they were trying to replace the TL and the TSX with an all in one sedan but they fucked it up bad. It’s the size of an e-class but has the same legroom as an integra.

RIP goat second gen TL

My TL goat is the 4G TL SH-AWD 6MT, such a powerhouse of a sedan.

I swear Esso and Petro Can used to be Top Tier gas. At least, I thought they were!
(But right now, they're not.)

Practically all brand name gas stations have their own loyalty program. Once you take the loyalty program into account, Top Tier and value brands like Super Save Gas should practically have no difference in costs between them. In fact, with loyalty programs, I can probably get Top Tier (eg. Shell) gas cheaper than I can with Super Save. So I really don't understand why people bother with value brands.

What the hell is wrong with Youtube? I'm starting to see a link go right to their 'app' and all kinds of tiktok and IG shit is on the front page. Nothing wrong with old Youtube ... I sound like the other thread about car innovation.

I bet they are also fueling up with 87 octane gas, right?

I swear more often than not -- ie. over 1/2 the time -- I see people driving a car that really requires high octane gas, and proceeds straight to the 87 octane gas gun.

And then on days when a gas station runs out of regular, and they sell their high octane gas at regular price, all these Toyotas and regular cars that will not see a lick of benefit from running high octane gas swarm the gas station, wait 10-15 min in line clogging up the street to buy that high octane gas on regular price.

(And then I just drive right pass when my car actually needs high octane gas, bcos I ain't gonna idle the car and waste 15 min waiting in line just to save $5 on my gas bill... )

Gas station? What is that...

Honestly, now, I go once a month and get like 1300kms on a 45l tank! For this, I can treat my baby to rocket fuel 94 octane!

They are easy to wrap, so in comparison they typically cost a bit less to do. And most Teslas are white because anything other than white costs 2k or more. People would just rather get a cheap wrap done in any colour they want instead.

I don't like wraps because it doesn't give the same depth most of the time, but most ppl don't care or can't tell the difference.

They hiked the prices way too much. Goes for BMW et la as well. You can walk in and order anything now that's not GT for the last 2 years, but I have a hard time with the notion I am paying 220k out the door for a BASE 911, and with the T, very limited options as well.

BMW sales, at least here in Vancouver, seems to be hurting as well, as for the same price I paid for our 2019 X3, we can't even get in a X1 with similar options. That's a huge downgrade.

Practically all brand name gas stations have their own loyalty program. Once you take the loyalty program into account, Top Tier and value brands like Super Save Gas should practically have no difference in costs between them. In fact, with loyalty programs, I can probably get Top Tier (eg. Shell) gas cheaper than I can with Super Save. So I really don't understand why people bother with value brands.
Petro Can was top tier, Esso hasn't been for a long time. A lot of time rebranded and then rebranded again so there's actually not that many Essos left anyways.
