Thread: Gas Price Pa

Drill the damn wells, build refineries, dig for coal, and build the nuke plants. I don't care I just want to be warm, drive my cars, and cut my grass.

My ancestors left these problems to my generation, so I am leaving them to the next . Like it is said: " you can please some of the people all of the time, and you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. " Compromises are in order.

I'm all for leaving a better world, but between the problems in the middle east, Africa and South America, it ain't likely to happen. So let's just get on with living for today.

Regular has been @ $3.09 for about a week, overnight it went to $3.19 and not one of the mullahs even sneezed. So what gives?

Back in the first oil gouging by the rag-heads in '74 all of a sudden there was a flurry of activity around old well-heads in KY and TN that hadn't been active since the late 40's and 50's. The pumps were running 24/7 if the pool could support it. After the prices went up, demand leveled off and then prices declined, the rigs quit running and then disappeared. I heard that then the oil companies came in and started buying the 'rights' to any wells that were willing to be sold. Now that the price of a barrel of oil has surpassed $100/barrel, guess what? No activity at all. I have heard that at some well heads in this country, the oil companies are not going to start pumping 'til they see $150/bbl.

Where is the "Manhattan Project" for energy?

Now if we can just get the idiots in Washington thinking the same we just might have something, but I damn sure wouldn't hold my breath.

Damn. I stopped to fill up with gas locally on Friday morning and paid the usual $3.25/gal regular. Then on Friday afternoon, I stopped to fuel up annother car and it's now $3.35. What in the hell happened between 8 AM and 5 PM.

Not a damn thing that I know of, unless it was just one of those sporadic attacks of greed by the oil companies.

a buddy send this a few of this to me..

$2.989 for 87 at the Indian Reservation in Governeur. Ethenol is 60¢ less OR $2.79 in Western NY at 3 stations NOT on the REZ....
Ethenol= 2mpg LESS, smells like blacktop gas, and burns real hot, cooks the oil and is spoda be the coming lifesaver in NY.. Yeah Right..

Most of my puzzlment goes not to gas companies but to the buttheads on the streets that bitch about the gas prices but then go out and pedal like they got John Force's budget for nitro.

Light changes, accelerate like you and Brandon Bernstein are in finals at Pomona- next light already red 500 feet away.

On the freeway the mofo is on and off the throttle and brakes like a funny car in tire shake due to traffic flow so he can gain 50 feet in 1/2 a mile.

The complainers about gas prices have no idea when they last checked their tire pressure for optimum performance and unless some light tells them have never had anything like a "tune up " performed on their crate.

And as they drive on the streets they are actively accelerating 150 feet from a stop sign and have no concept what coasting or freewheeling is.

If the a-holes that do this stuff actually learned how to drive they could save a gallon or 2 per tank at least. But no, it's more logical to blame somebody else and play the victim.

I see that all the time - and often from those drivers in cars that are but a step or two from the salvage yard. I have a gas hog and drive it like I have a raw egg under my right foot - and of course get the nasty looks from the soccer moms in their Expeditions, Escalades and minivans rushing their kids from one activity to another. The worst seem to be the diesel pick up truck owners that want to "show" me in my V10 how great their trucks are - with their $4.39 fuel vs my $3.32 gas and their 12 mpg vs. my 12 mpg. Oh yeah. then there are the M-B, BMW and Lexus owners.........

Dave, we must be driving the same roads and living the same lives. The crap you have witnessed and the conclusions drawn are virtually the same down here where I am. Just this morning I watch a DA in a honda lying less than a foot off of the rear bumper of a van both moving along at 80 mph. I would have loved to see what would have happened if the van driver had hit the brakes to take a call.

I don't have that many years left in my life to act like a fool behind the wheel of any car.

I'm 2 miles from I-87 and see those idjits do that all the time. Luckily I drive a BIG pick up truck and for sure will do more damage to them if they tailgate and I have to stop quick - I think it's an epidemic attitude

Its April 9th and its 3.45 for 87 octane in Lafayette Indiana.

3.69 here

319 right now

Down here in NZ,we are currently paying about $1.80 per litre for 91 octane,and $1.88 a litre for 95 octane,that works out at about NZ$6.84 a US gallon,and NZ$7.14 a US gallon for 95 octane.Convert that to US$ at todays exchange rate..NZ $1.27 for a US dollar. About$8.68 a gallon for 91 and $9.07..
We are expecting it to be NZ$2 a litre by the end of the month.
That is why the F100 is running on LPG.Only NZ$1.08 per litre.

Smart man!. I was in shock when I filled up on the way home last night. Its up to 3.83 for regular and was 4.03 for super!
