Off Topic: Gas Price's
Hey guys.
Lately I have been going ape shit at the gas stations.
The cost is getting ridiculous and I can only expect it to get worst.
I just wanted to compare the difference in cost with some other blazer owners.
Last night it cost me $55 Canadian to fill the tank at 89.9c/L. . . . .they might as well kick me in the nuts on my way out.

Re: Off Topic: Gas Price's
I just dumped in 15 gallons....cost me $31.90 to do it this afternoon while out on lunch. It's either feed the truck or feed myself. Time to park it and walk to work in the mornings.

That same 15 gallons costs me $35.38 in West Virginia. Have to give our wonderful government THEIR share of the money. $2.36 a gallon. Never thought I would see it this soon, and we will have much more of it soon. Time to take the freakin bus I think.

Re: Off Topic: Gas Price's
shit, that isnt going to make prices go down, people say hes an idiot, but if you owned a large bit of something every one NEEDED, would you try hard to A raise the price of this "thing" or b lower it, tell ya what, doesnt take much brain power at all to figgure out what puts more $$ in your pocket

based on k5dan's name I think he owns a k5. There might be some room for improvement, but that must be one of the least efficient vehicles out there.

Re: Off Topic: Gas Price's
O yeah, my moped gets about 100km/ gallon. It takes $2.59 (premium) to fill her up for a few weeks and it's a ton of fun to ride for this gear head on a budget.
Haven't filled up the tank on my jimmy in about 7 weeks (and happy about it). The gas prices here in Lansing were about 40 cents cheaper then...
