Gas prices.....

Anyone else hitting almost $4 bucks a gallon? for the lowest grade from THORTONS this morning was $2.89 now.... it has spiked to $3.20 somtin at thorntons.... cheapest and crappiest gas... I think Premium at BP was just shy of $3.90, think of how much money we will be shelling out now... Katrina was one bas ass storm.... i just feel horrible for all those people down there if you want feel free to post about gas prices around you. Aaron

Its time for Bush to go, and some one else to be the president :). By the way, when is Bush suppost to leave ? Oh and I though the war in Iraq was gonna bring gas prices down a little, wtf they went up ?? I suggest everyone, sponsor that kid somewhere in AF forums that said he could find alternative fuel for small donations:).

2.99 for cheapest, and for my GS-T, about 3.20 something, here in minneapolis,mn

here in NY its 3.29 cheap and 3.69 high test at most places here, there is a few that are 2.98 tho and 3.39 for high test

BMW made a hydrogen car that is i think the 7 series, there trying to make hydrogen cars to be made soon... i saw it in a magizine ther sport hydrogen car... the tempeture in the engine bay was -328 Degrees... they said the problem with the car so far is that the engine bay needs to become smaller, it was basically the engine and 2 seats, but i guess it did the 1/4 in 12.39 i think which is ovbiosuly very good in general... i'll try to find that mag

hell at least yall can find gas...here in south carolina..gas stations are shutting down...they have no gas and won't be gettin any for a while...wtf is going on

where do you live in SC? I live in florence and the gas stations around here haven't shut down yet.

The world fucking sucks. I paid 2.99 this morning and it went up more this afternoon and I am in the middle of nowhere in northern mn. I think its time to fill the tires and check the brakes... on my bike. This shit is rediculous. (sp?) Before we started getting raped on gas, $10 could give me a little more than 1/2 tank. Today I put in $12 and got 3/8 of a tank. Yeah, hydrogen cars are coming, but probably not for a while. If we were to get the hydrogen from electrolysis, we would need the amount of water that flows over Nygra falls in 3 months to meet one days energy needs (I'm pretty sure anyway, but its a huge amount of water for not a lot of hydrogen). Anyone that really knows me knows that I want to make cars look pretty or fast for a living. On a more practical note, I want to become a Mechanical Engineer and if possible, work on the hydrogen cars. Oh well, still have a year to figure that shit out.

I gased up before work this morning, and it was 2.75, tonight when I was coming home from work, its at 2.99 for the cheapest. This is in NOVA area.

im in the columbia area..my mom works at a station..and she had to shut her store down with many others in the area.....this shit sucks

Gas in MS is run out ( most people from new orlant , run to ms because hunicant ( spell ) , every gas station run out of gas , yesterday I had to wait 2 hour to fill up my tank ( $40 91 octant ).

Highest in downtown chitown is 3.89

In Fargo it's $2.69 if you can find it. I searched for a while driving around, most places it's $2.89.

I read somewhere, in the newspaper I think, that SUVs and trucks could be up to 66% more economical. Instead of getting 8 mpg they could be getting up 15-20, but Bush and Congress passed bills that said they could make them as uneconimical as they wanted.
Where do you think Bush gets all his money to run for office? Big Business

Exactly, Bush is in the oil business. I filled up my truck last night. $64 to fill it up.

2.99 for cheapest, and for my GS-T, about 3.20 something, here in minneapolis,mn

Yup..this morning I saw the cheapest was 2.999 for 87 octane... frickin nuts!!!

As for the gas prices... what the media has been talkin is that the demand for gas is higher than what the refineries can put out....

I got one of those "spam" type emails saying nobody should buy gas on 9/1/05...if everyone in the US pulled together and didn't buy gas today it would put a big dent in the supply/demand and would probably drop the prices a bit... I even heard that hawaii is putting a "gas cap" on fuel at $3.... that would be nice if all states would follow...

I don't know what is worse for me... Gas hog 87oct. 98 jeep grand cherokee or a turbo dsm.....

I live in Louisiana, northern part where most of the evacuees came. It got really bad here yesterday. i luckily got enough gas in my car before the gas hit 2.78 like 30 minutes after i got i. I paid 2.49 per gall. so far this week i put 43$ in that car.

The reason that gas prices are so high along the east coast is that most of the oil/gas comes through Louisiana. It is pumped through 2 5000 mile pipelines all over the east coast. Neither of these pipelines are working (one is damaged and the other has no power). These pipelines carry about 2,700,000 barrels of oil every day :eek:

Also, 2 of the refineries located in the gulf were severly damaged during the hurricane, so that didn't help either, as the country was already unable to keep up with demand.

Here, in central PA, premium (93 octane) was $2.79 yesterday morning, $3.19 last night and $3.55 this morning. They are expecting it to go up another $0.45 to $0.50 again today and I need gas. I normally put 94 octane in the Spyder, but this is getting crazy. :disappoin

Southern Wisconsin is $3.15 for 87 octane. I have actually seen 2 gas stations now in the last 3 weeks downgrade the octane rating on premium from 93 to 92, and still charge the same. Premium was pushing $3.35. If you live in the larger cities, it gets closer to $3.50+ for regular ass 87 octane. This sucks. It's getting harder and harder to make the decision to drive the 1 1/2 hour drive home every weekend from school. Atleast I was getting about 35 mpg on interstate last time I checked. :rolleyes:

well i though they were bad here. im in austin and 87 is 2.80 something and 93 is 3.01. When i bought my car it cost me 18.50 to fill up now its almost 40 bucks.

I remember back in highschool when 87 oct was about .97 a gallon.... but that was also about 13 years ago..:)
and cigs were about $2.25 a pack... now they are up to $4.25 if not more... glad I quit...

I'll be riding my bicycle to work here shortly.

Hey guys, I was thinking since 2 of my best friends are getting fast bikes, I wanna get one too. I know how to ride one. Gas wouldnt be a problem :) One of em is getting it for about 10 grand its a Busa and its pretty tight, but he's been on bikes forever. I was thinking of something smaller, CBR or F4i. Any one here know something a little about bikes. I dont need something extremly fast since I wanna live a few more years, but its getting boring around here so we are making a little fast bike gang :) And what kind of insurence should I expect ? around $300 a month for a 19 year old ?
Atleast I would save a few bucks on gas.

i think your insurance would counter the gas lol makes me feel glad that my talon isn't running.... but my hemi initrepid still needs gas =(

Regular (87 octance) gas hit a whoping $1.16/litre in Toronto today, that is over $4/gallon. This is insane, soon only the rich will be able to drive.

Were sitting at $3.50 per gallon in Indiana.

I live in upstate NY about 1 hour from canada and gas here is 3.55 for cheap and 4.99 for 93, and all of are fuel for upstate NY, VT and a few otrher states get there fuel from montreal, and we are still high.

Isn't it funny that NOW all the people that mocked the prius, etc as "tree hugger" cars are going to be getting one. All the stupid govmt officials and companies that stood in the way of increased gas mileage (which is VERY easy to do especially on SUVs/trucks and the technology has existed for years) should be castrated. Other countries have been moving ahead with other technologies while the U.S. just keeps coming out with dumbass huge SUVs that get 8 miles to the gallon. Good job.

IIRC, bikes are relatively cheap to insure. Bodily injury is high, but its offset by the fact that they do relatively little property damage.

wow this shit is crazy man, i work downtown mpls, and today it's 3>19 for the cheap (89) i think,

I'm actualy considering buying one of those VW golf/jetta TDi's if gas remains this high. These modern VW turbo diesels can get over 1000km(625miles) to a full tank, and that might be an understatement.

yeah here in Ohio it was 3.19 for 87 and 3.39 for 93. this is CRAZY i have been driving my beater/ winter car quite a bit lately b/c it takes the 87 octane, unlike the Eclipse :(

what in tha fuck! I needed some gas but I had to work so I just told myself I would fill up on the way home. On the way to work it was 2.89 and the on the way home 3.22!!! What in tha shit is this! Time to start ridin the bike :mad:

I hope Bush dies, people say it's not his fault it's natural disaster. But it is his fault that we don't have the National Guard to do what they are supposed to. Instead they are in Iraq fighting for a lie. Btw I'm in the National Guard and I'll probaly be going to New orleans soon i heard they want 40k peopl. What do you you think George Douche's approval will be now?

highest ive saw here was $4.11 for 91 octane cheepest was $3.19 for 87 octane that is if u can find it most of the gas stations around here are out of gas

I hope Bush dies, people say it's not his fault it's natural disaster. But it is his fault that we don't have the National Guard to do what they are supposed to.


Yeah, it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that 2 pipelines that carry 1/3 of the nations gas are not functioning. :shakehead

Or maybe the fact that we have lost about 12% of our ability to refine crude into gas. Not like we had enough refineries to begin with.

By the way, wasn't Bush the one that wanted to start drilling in Alaska???

Yep, must be all his fault. :disappoin

here in East bay, cali its about 2.95 for unleaded and 3.15 for premium, but that was yesterday! :P

raelly? wow thats alot of miles on one tank....I think we have seen the last of the $2.xx gas prices even when those oil lines and refinereis are back up down there...

By the way, wasn't Bush the one that wanted to start drilling in Alaska???

Yeah the stupid fuk got that passed now. What a great plan that is. :rolleyes: Sucks that we're just going further into debt because of the hurricane. The U.S. is borrowing a crapload of $.

I paid $3.09 for 87 for my eclipse today. Alot of gas stations are closing here. I hope we dont fall into a energy crisis that would be bad.

I bet that bush is not sitting on his ass just going alwell what the hell do i care about the country. it would not matter what president we have this would have happend, so give the big man some love lol


gas is crazy! in my area it is over $3 for a gallon.
in gorga it is like $6 for the cheap stuff
damn!

Yeah, its $3.20 up here. Time to air the tires, check brakes, and grease up the chain on my bike.

The thing that pisses me off the most is all of the other countries. Every time something happens to another country, we're the first ones to help. When the tsunami hit we sent aid, troops, health care, and a whole shit-load of money.

When a huge disaster happens in America, we have to fend for ourselves. I haven't heard of any other countries sending us a dime of aid. BS

Here in northeast Ohio premium is $3.50 a gallon. Theres been lots of talk about people that are gonna start stealing their gas. Has the government not put any thought into people rioting or a raise in gas theft?

I heard today that they were gonna put a lock on gas sales. Pretty much that they wanna ration the gas out so people can only get so much in such an amount of time... Can they even do that? Because if they were to do something like that, they would cause an economical downfall in this country. Trucking companies would be ruined, and the common man that has to do a lot of traveling would be forced out of a job. Heck, I used to spend about $60 a week to travel to school and work. Now, I'm done with school, I can't imagine how much it would cost now.

Wow someone who still likes bush...granted a president does not control every aspect of a country he does on the other hand have control over sending our country to war, i thought we were at war for oil, no wait it was wmds, or ah... huisein did some bad stuff...oo i know we're spreading democracy thats it. Why did it take 5 fucking days to get water to people in new orleans? cause the fucking president didn't work fast enough, Congress met on wednesday, two days later. When Terri Shivo (sp) had her feeding tube pulled, bush called an "emergency" session of congress that night!! (btw it was a sunday night on a holiday weekend too). But you're right we should all bow to bush and never question his authority.

the lowest I have seen it here is like to 2.89 for regular and the highest grade there are some place that are at like 3.40 i'm in boise ID

3.89 here for 91 octane... Allentown, PA. I tanked up last nigth when it was 2.99 for 93. They were sold out of 87 + 91 at the time..

A guy pulled up next to me and goes they prolly aren't selling the cheap stuff cause they want to make a profit.. and I go it's 2.99 here for the expensive stuff. Go down a block it's already around 3.20 for the 87. Get it while you can. Mind you he didn't believe me drove down the street and back to fill up his 2 tank trunk before I left the parking lot. Thanked me for setting him straight. I was amused...

Gas needs to drop in price and quickly..

This is gas prices out in ontario Ca..... Keep in mind this is ARCO gas, which is the cheapest gas you can get out here in cali.

Diesel 3.45 = PWNED!!!!

Still holding steady around $2.99 here around Fargo.

Just saw on CNN that oil prices have dropped for the first time in a week! Mostly, because most places along the gulf have begun operating again.

3.75 coming back from the track. Thats the highest I have seen up here yet. I bought the mid grade at 3.49, fuck that. Some gas stations arent selling gas at night it seems, and others wont allow you to pay at the pump for fear of drive offs. Who ever said price gouging and ripping off consumers would be easy? ;)

I know it says use premium only on our cars but is it safe to use the middle grade as long as the car isnt driven hard?

I did a few pulls after I left the station specifically to make sure it wasn't knocking on the 89 octane. If you have a logger, you can run whatever you want, and tune accordingly.

not being stupid here, but not sure on the knock thing, how can you tell if your getting knock without a logger? or do i need a logger?

3.09 is the cheapest for 93 here in austin. I saw it for 3.19 a little farther north thats where i live. Exxon seems to be the cheapest right now around here. I filled up today for the last time before they really jump in price. It cost me 44 dollars. I can't belive this last time i filled up it was 35 and that was 2 weeks ago on i also didn't know that we have 14 gallon tanks ive never get that low until now but christ this horrid.

we are suppose to have 16 gallon tanks as they claim, but i have never been able to put more than 12 gallons in mine when my fuel light has came on after racing.

so say I throw in the middle grade but dont boost any, I shouldnt have any knock right? Im just saying because the difference between the two grades is 25cents right now and thats a lot of money Id like to save, Thanks :grinyes:

In Chicago gas prices are about $3.85. I live on the edge of the city, so I usually travel to the subburbs to fill up. Less than a mile, and Im usually there anyway. The other nite, my mom told me to top off because gas was going thru the roof. Went around to gas stations, and the BP in the city was at 3.09. The suburbs were at 3.29. Filled up and not making stupid trips or cruising anymore.

On a side note, at Best Buy today we had a meeting, and in it we talked about the huricane. BB is donating 4 million to the relief funds, has instore donations where you can make at the registers, and then all the money we make from having like gynm-shoe day and stuff like that goto the cause. There are 6 stores that still have over 10ft of water in them, and even more without power yet. They've all been louted(sp?). There are also 10 workers from the company still missing. BB also is continue to pay their workers who are not able to work bc of this. They're still getting checks with their average amount of pay. That's awesome what they've been doing. Great company. Gas sucks

Oh yeah, and that's why its great having a N/T car... don't need the high grade! Haha to all of you who've made fun of me for it. LOL.

You got us there david :disappoin

Ha funny thing...today I was talking to a friend and he said the price for alky is around 2 dollars a gallon. We thought it was a little funny that alky racing fuel is cheaper than normal gas. But yeah i agree gas is ridiculous. It's almost to the point where you have to sell you car to pay for gas (yeah figure that one out)

Oh yeah, and that's why its great having a N/T car... don't need the high grade! Haha to all of you who've made fun of me for it. LOL.

I have always put no less than 93 in my car since I bought it over a year ago.....that may be changing very soon if prices don't drop a little. It's up to $3.45 a gallon for 93 now....
