We should get support and tell Scion to host a "reduce-price gas event" for all the scion owners, since gas is going up/is high. I just thought of it whiling driving.
Maybe $2 or $2.50 per gallon......................I don't know. I'm not sure if Scion will do such a thing.........but since they blew up, Scion, they should, u know, give back a special thanks.

what is this you're talking about? what is it?
We should send emails or something so that maybe, with enough support, Scion could host a "reduce-priced gasoline event"...............since gas is $3 or more per gallon. I just thought of this, so I don't know.
I was just saying, maybe Scion could give thanks to its customers by selling cheaper gas to us Scion owners................of course, get a gas station to host it.
Any more confusion, just tell me. Maybe someone can help us to get this idea into a reality.

yeah Tea....that'd be sweet. i can only assume that gas prices are going to increase at the same rate the tempurature is increasing. by the middle of summer, we could be looking at triple digit temps. and $4.XX/gal. for gas....crazy stuff!!!!!

I know Scion is going to say.........."well, aren't our cars giving u great gas mileage to start?"
I mean, they should at least give some thanks to us owners cuz we made them big.......I mean, Scion got a boost from the start.
I think once gas hits, uh, maybe 3.35 for 87 octane, then we should send a proposal to Scion about this idea. It not only helps the current owners like us, but it can help in their marketing..........other people will see, "well, if Scion is giving low price gas to the current owners, we should buy a Scion so that when the next time comes around, we'll get low price gas." Maybe Scion can make this a regular event once in a while.
But of course, this should be for So/Nor Cal owners cuz this is where it all began, 8).
Proposal/Petition anyone? I need some help for this or maybe someone can do it for me, or let me say, do it for everyone else.
Whether it follow through or not, at least we try.

Not to mention in So Cal / Nor Cal the price is higher than the rest of the nation for no reasonable reason. It's all a freakin mind game with the public... we think $3 a gal is high when 4 years ago 2.50 was high. It's a matter of laying the feathers on the camel's back....
Anyhow rant over. This would be a pretty hard thing to organize.

Well, at least we should try. It won't hurt to try, right?
Yea, if Kiis FM does this every year, then why shouldn't Scion do it at least once?

I really like this idea. How about this in a proposal. . . . . let's say Chevron or Shell hosts the event. Say gas is $3.40 per gallon. Scion offers to pay 50% or $1.70 per gallon and so do we? Then to really boost the statement the gas station and Scion donate .85 cents per gallon to alternative fuel research??? Maybe a stretch but I think we all know what the power of a few thousand voices could do!??

honestly, i may be fooling myself, but i've noticed that my car runs better with premium. it's more responsive when i step on the gas pedal, i honestly don't believe that the gas lasts longer (like some people say) haha. and also, when i'm running premium, my car seems to be less sluggish towards the time i need an oil change.
...but i could just be crazy. oh and i pretty much only use chevron gas. :eyes:

I used to with my ex finace's car, but I hated paying an extra $2 a tank...now with prices the way they are, I'm (we're) paying an extra 5-10 bucks a tank :flame:
emokid158
03-19-2007, 05:46 PM
5-10? shouldn't it still only be an extra $2?
hmm...(i only fill up for 5 gallons because it saves gas)
*3.09 for 5 gallons ($15.45)
3.29 for 5 gallons ($16.45)
3.39 for 5 gallons ($16.95)
3.49 for 5 gallons ($17.45)
it's still only a dollar more for me. gas would have to be 40 cents cheaper for it to be a $2 difference

yeah but I was doing calcs on a full tank, and no try with prices at 1.75 and 3.09

yikes, for just 5 gallons it's almost a $7 difference

Ok guys, I think this is THE proposal right here (the quoted comment above, :loser: , lol)...........I going to start doing a rough draft right now, in the school's library and hopefully get it done before my next class. When completed, I'll decide if I'll send those who have posted on this thread a copy. Then u can send me suggestions on what is needed, improvements, etc.

Ok So Cal, I finished the rough, and I MEAN, really rough draft of the proposal. It seems like its done in 15 minutes, which it was, but just get me some feed back..........well, u have to ask for a copy of it to do so, :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: .
I add the idea from Andrew1782 in the proposal........so yea.
PM me and u shall receive. 8)

scion would lose hundreds of thousands if not millions.
this will never happen.
lets just say there are 150,000 scions in the country (which is a HUGE low ball)
and they take 1 dollar off all gas prices.
Now lets say everyone fills up 10 gallons this day (i know everyone will use their gas to get this cheaper :) )
thats 1.5 million dollars right there scion has to pay for gas.
Now lets talk about advertising...
Radio and television advertising around the NATION for about a week, letters, news updates, and the countless other advertising cots and fees would be WELL over 50 million dollars. But we will stick with 50 million because its easy to calculate :)
Now there out 51.5 million dollars, and for what?
They can spend money elsewhere and smarter to gain the publics interest...
Its a hopeful idea, but it will never happen.

Well, the rest of the country will not get this............cuz Scion will try So Cal first cuz this is where everything starts, right So Cal.
But yeah, at least we gave it a shot. Maybe reduce it 20-30 cents..........besides, at this point, doing something like this will steal the sales from rival companies, 8).
