Gas Prices!

Lets see who has it the worse...
for premium gas in texas im payinga record high of $2.78 a gallon.

why didnt bush just take the oil and keep it for him self insted of giveing it back... i mean comon this is isane... or we could just open all our oil caps back up from alaska and start drilling in the gulf of mexico... its said most of the worlds oil is in the gulf of mexico. BUT NO it will kill off the dolphins, and for alaska NO IT WILL KILL THE POLAR BEARS. screw you PETA its because of them we dont have our own oil... and its because bush is too nice and wont take the oil from the poeple who want to kill us.

I'm definantly not gonna get into the politics of this...as that can only lead to disaster. So lets keep our thoughts on Bush reserved for the OT political sub-forum.

But yeah, I think our premium is around 2.65-2.70ish maybe higher depending where you go. (the only advantage to not having a running car!)

PIDA? its PETA. I saw 2.89 here today.

lol. sorry about the politics. its just my opinion. i get soo frustrated sometimes.

Yeah i had a non-running car for a month :) no gas bill. just bumming rides off other people.

Sorry i dont know what they are called... lol i just know they are animal rights people...

$2.89 is our highest! can anyone beat that?

I was just giving ya shit, no big deal.

No, I cant beat that, But I can make you guy's jealous! 2.33 Premium. I don't have it as bad... yet.

man i rember comlaining when the prices where over a dallor... look at as now wishing it was at $2.00... lol

$2.91 :swear:

Damn! Can anyone beat that?! ^

yeah, the British! they pay around 8-9 dollars a gallon! it was on Top-Gear a few weeks ago.

2.75 here!

I say we go and kill all the Dolphins and the Polar Bears so PETA can just shut the hell up. If killing a bear lowers my bills then by greyskull, I will kill bears!

haha right on! what good do they do? we cant eat them... they are just for looks. lol my car looks better.

We are expected to hit $1.09 for a liter here.

TMD

I got all you mofos beat!! lol, it's 3.21 a gallon at worst, and at best I've seen 2.93 , but generally it's about 2.99 :(

4.5 liters in a gallon my friend.

$4.90 a gallon here.

TMD

um, its 3.9 somethign liters to a US gallon. I think you are thinking of the imperial gallon.

Lol, does that really make much of a difference Its still way too much.

TMD

Yes it is. And this is why Im looking into converting my truck to run on used vegtable oil. You can get the stuff for free. The only problem is keeping the oil warm enough in the tank.

Kinda late cause I've been outta town but on my way home today, it was $3.39. :(

where is everyone from here?? im curious to know where people are paying these insane prices..im from LI NY and its about 2.85 for premium

you can always go convert your truck to use propane gas... its cheap as hell and you can have your own big tank at your house so you wont have to go to a stupid gas station to refill... my neighbors truck runs off propane. plus i hear it burns so pure thta you can put like 400,000 miles on any automobil.

I'm back in the Bay Area now...San Francisco area.

Yes prices are going to rape the American people once again...

i heard on the news that after labor day they should go down to 2 dallors or lower... but i dont believe it.

...man @ long beach, cali...shit decided 2 put gas 2day @ chevron wasted like $2.95 @ $43 for 91 premium...this sucks man...i was thinking of putting 87 or 89...but i love my baby so much...haha...do u guys put 87 or 89 since the gas prices are high as of rite now?...

HELL NO! i dont even put 91 octane... i only put 93 in mine.

thats nuts...where do you live that its so cheap pr0? 2.33? i AM jealous.....2.78 here in upstate

^^^ on that note, i turned my shift light down to 4k haha...save some gas.

2.89 in texas now

guys youve gotta hear how i solved all our gas bill problems...i dont know why i didnt think about it earlier...well first i got my gun robbed two banks, a convienent store. and some guy ridding in a caddy....and now im set for the next year to drive as much as i want..i mean come on the answer was right infront of us.

man, here it costs me like 60+ dollars to fill up my 19 gallon tank... wtf! It's like 3.30 per gallon! arg, slade man I feel ya buddy, this really freakin sucks!

atleast its not as expensive as other countries

HELL NO! i dont even put 91 octane... i only put 93 in mine.

haha amen to that. 93 for my baby only, and hey since gas is like 3 dollars a gallon, might as well spend 12 more cents per gallon and get premium. :2cents:

man, here it costs me like 60+ dollars to fill up my 19 gallon tank... wtf! It's like 3.30 per gallon! arg, slade man I feel ya buddy, this really freakin sucks!

Yeah, it sucks....and I have to fill up my tank today since I'm going into the city tomorrow night. DOH!! :banghead:

HELL NO! i dont even put 91 octane... i only put 93 in mine.
91 is the highest Cali has. CHeapest I have seen for premium here is 2.71. Everywhere else is 2.75. 87 which is all I need is 2.55 about everywhere.

i used to pay like $4.50 for 118 Octane gas but now its like almost 6 dallors. my freind Dusty orders barrels of 118 octane gas :) i love that stuff, but i only put it in on rare events haha.

and to be honest the guys who have vr4s and puting the 85 or 87 octane in their car, are wasteing their money... the reason they say PREMIUM UNLEADED GAS ONLY on your cluster is because thats what to car needs to reach high rpms with out drinking alot of gas... the lower octane gases will burn up alot faster just trying to go than the high octane. you would have better gas milage puting 93 octane in your car and romp all over it then 87 octane and drive it normal. and if you want to put it to the test try this.
1. wait till you get on empty.
2. go fill up your tank with whatever octane you want.
3. reset milage gage.
4. drive around until you want to refil.
5. the fill up gas record how many gallons you put in.
6. then devide the miles by gallons and see how many miles to a gallon you are geting.

i pay 2.89 for a gallon, i fill up, pay close to $50, then the next day its at 2.79. so im like, "damn, well at least it will be cheaper next time i fill up", then i go back in a couple days to fill up again, and its at 2.99!!!! I could put a lot more money into my car if gas wasnt so damn much!!!

The reason for premium has nothing to do with gas milage.........
And the part I bolded is just retarded.

its so you wont mix gas... like 93 with 87

premium fuel reduces pre-ignition and detonation (pinging) in your engine. If you use regular gas, performance would suffer and could cause engine damage.

does anybody use that Outlaw octane booster, i've been using it and i love it. i just wanna know what everyone else thinks. oh yeah and im in central texas and its 2.75

Ive got a few fun facts for you guys...Check out the fuel prices (http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/gasprices/states/index.shtml)

ohh and the gas prices in my country is about 7.26$

and im going to clear up a few things, a US galon is 3.78 Litres. and the imperial galon is 4.54 litres. so jeremy clarkson sais 8-9$ a galon but thats not your standard as the gasprices in england are simmilar to the ones in iceland so he realy means more like around 7.

the funny thing in iceland thoug is that the diesel fuel is actualy more expensive than gasoline and i saw a guy filling a ford pickup at the gas station today and it cost him 206$ to fill it up. so until you guys are paying a substatial ammount of your salery on gas you shuld consider yourselves lucky

^wow! Thats wayyyyyy up there. If I switch my car over to natural gas or propane will there be any effect in performance????

You are wasting your money. Just buy 93 octane. Those "boosters" only raise the octane by .2 at most. Individual tests have shown the only one that actually works is the NOS brand octnae booster.

$2.94 a gallon for 93 up here in Wisconsin.....

It's a good thing my car gets around 27-28 mpg average and up to 32-33 on the interstate. I still wish I had a 3kgt VR4 though. :iceslolan

hey its ok you have the lil brother to a 3000gt :)

jesus christ!!!! you all have gas prices near $3.00 or over! I thought it was bad in New Jersey, 93 here is at worst $2.40-50 something. this made my day reading this thread, im gonns go fill my car up!

I've seen $2.99 here in New York.... I swear i'm gonna slit my wrists if it hits $3.00 :-(
I fill up my tank right before the tunnel when i drive through Jersey... 2.40 is a bargain

sorry to start the thread back up boys... but it seams i need to do some more complaining haha.
here in texas we hit $3.20
what the latest in yalls area.

average around me is 3.49.. i saw it for 4.49 yesterday. most of the gas sations around here only have regular

3.19 for regular and avg for 93 is 3.50. Glad I only need 87.

$3.69 for premium. Bet you wish you hadn't promised to kill yourself now huh?

I just paid 2.15 a gallon. And no that isnt a typo.
Diesel prices havent changed in a month, and I had a 50 cent/gallon off cuppon. YAY for me.

3.50 for premium on Thursday, havn't really checked since then. Luckily a bunch of gas stations in the area just got busted for price gouging. Apparently, it is illegal to post one price in the morning, and then raise it mid-day. Almost every station around here does, and I'm sure most nation-wide do...but a few finally got busted in the area, so hopefully that will keep them in check for awhile.

ya ya ya. i kinda wanna take two cylinders outta my car now to get better gas mileage. anyone wanna help with that conversion?

na, i'm in TX, and the prices shot up about 30 cents a few days ago b/c of Hurrican Katrina. the hurricane caused most, if not close to all, the oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico to be ceased and evacuated for a period of time.

3.30 or so for permium :crying:

hell PA is 3.44 a gallon i dont wanan hear it

i saw 3.49 today in south jersey...i nearly crapped myself but then I came home and was happy with the tank my dad gave me that he go on his works credit card :-)
