6.5 KM per liter... with that gas mileage you'd better be filthy rich and uncaring of expenses or ready to call for a place in a poorhouse, hereabout.
Ever since last Friday, gasoline costs the trifle of 1.75€ per liter here in Italy. We are once again first place. The ones with the more expensive fuel ON THE WHOLE PLANET! A record I would have really liked not to get, but our politicians strongly disagreed.
What is it about people on the other side of the pond to have gasoline which is cheaper than Coke?
...
Don't answer. It was a rhetorical question.
If you have my age and don't know the answer to that question, you either lived on Mars all your life or you REALLY have an urgent need to look for a good doctor. This is why it's rhetorical.

Especially this last, here.
You want to laugh? Do you want to ABSOLUTELY ROLL ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING AND DESPERATELY TRYING NOT TO DIE FOR LACK OF AIR?
In Italy, we're still paying, on the petrol, taxes for the military expenses of the colonial wars in Africa of the first 30ies and the Desert Storm in the first 90ies, and at the sole mentioning of the possibility of lifting those obsolete taxes off the people's pockets NOW, over thirty years after the more recent and almost a century from the other, our own bloodsuckers called politicians get all shifty eyed, ambiguous spoken and selectively deaf until the request is dropped out of SHEER EXHAUSTION.
Laugh at will. We thoroughly deserve it.

Spelling police here.. F is close to T on the keyboard so maybe its a typo. Shifty does not have an f in it.
Of the OTHER shi

t, we have right under out nose, so we can feel its generous fragrances and cannot open out mouths to protest without swallowing generous amount of it. If you want to know about shi

To the mods and everyone else here.
This post was originally a long, friendly and informative post about the history of my car, a well-written post, as are all of mine, and written so as to share this with the community here. In that post I made one very brief statement about my gas mileage, that statement was simply what gas mileage I get, nothing more. These incoherent and negative replies are why I deleted my post, I saw it was going south rapidly and was hoping to stop that. It obviously did not work.
In my entire time here at Simviation, I have seen only friendly replies, never such negativety, especially in the first and last lines of the first response here. There are other things I'd like to post at Simviation but now hesitate to do so because I do not want to invoke responses like this.
I would appreciate it if the negative comments would stop. They are totally uncalled for. My post was not about the price of gas nor the politics surrounding it, there was no need to turn it into something totally unrelated.
Thank you,
Apex

My apologies for my reply. I deleted my original reply.
I can't speak for the other nonconformists but you won't suffer from my inane comments in your threads again.
I came to this site because some thread wandering is allowed and sometimes I think its Human nature that makes a conversation drift. If Simv were to become a spit and polish aviation discussion with no other options I would have never signed in. I'm still not quite sure where you wanted a discussion about your used car to go.

Thank you, Steve. I wasn't having a problem with your comment, it's the others. I do believe that we all must have an openness as far as replies and commenting go, but after keeping silent the first time around, I had to at least level the playing field, and I did so in a diplomatic manner.
The discussion regarding my car was not intended to go anywhere, just talking about it, that's all.
I appreciate your attention to this, however. We've got a great site here, a great community, we're all friends here, and I do my best to share and keep things interesting.
And thread wandering is one factor that makes adds interest, we all know that.
