Gas prices...

[MaddBaggins]

...suck my A$$!!
Right now in Tucson it's between 2.45 and 2.55 a gallon. Most stations here are over 2.50 now and the radio just said to expect a .10 increase in the next week. WTF! My gas budget is getting out of hand, if this continues my wheeling days are going to become rare. If it actually hits $3 I will prolly back out of the Skinwalker run. Crap.
To bad we can't run our rigs on piss! Then I could drink more and have all the fuel I need

The prices will start going down around Labor Day..

I bought a Diesel truck as a commuter when fuel was .03 cents above regular (I was paying $2.43). Now Diesel is $2.85. 42 cents in three weeks...explain that to me.

Hope you don't use bio-diesel, I don't want my cooking bill goes any higher.

I heard you could make your own bio diseal. Saw it on the show "Trucks"

yeah that setup was pretty sweet, it worked out to costing 0.70$ a gallon

Wish we could do bio-gasoline I just talked to a co-worker in Hawaii today. 3.04 a gal and expected to go up to 3.30 next week. SICK

Remember when milk was more than gas...

ehh quit complainin, i hope we see $4 a gallon before it goes down, then maybe, just maybe the majority will start thinking about changeing driving habits and vehicle choices instead of just whinning about it.

even at $2 a gallon it would be cheaper to DD a small car and only drive the guzzler when you actually need it. not to single out SUV's, but it seems to be that only about 1% of those folks actually USE them more than a couple times a year.

You must have invested heavily on crude oil stock

Ah you should be in California buying gas... - my commute is 12 hours - but that is another story

Let's put this in perspective - gas is cheap - Pepsi charges more that 1.49 for less than a quart of Aqua Fina water - that is around 6.00 a gallon.

I say make it 5.00 all ready - send 1.00 to education and 1.00 to fix all the roads and bridges...

I don't care how much gas costs i am still driving somewhere- everywhere

Milk has seen about the same rate of inflation as gas and everyone still drinks it without complaining.

Speak for yourself. I bitch about the price of milk every time I buy it. The bad thing is that I am more addicted to milk than I am gasoline.

I get my milk at Costco, otherwise I prolly wouldn't be able to afford it

uh...'cause they can, and we keep payin' it, and buyin' just as much as we used to at the cheaper prices?

When we all start driving more fuel-efficient cars, maybe we'll see "Employee Pricing" on gas ;p

Just sold my '96 sentra DD, 35 MPG, and traded for a '00 Avalon, 25 MPG. More money per year in gas, but WAY worth it to haul my 6'4" 250lb butt around. Plus now I have power steering. I actually enjoy my commute now.

Just want to get 2 gas prices threads going at the same time

 

[MaddBaggins]

Are you just trying to ruffle everybodies feathers Jackson? I found some gas for 2.85 yesterday at the far east Tanque Verde Circle K, on my way out to Chiva. Good thing I just got a raise It just about covers my increased gas and milk budget
