This is at my local gas station. I give up.

How many mpg do scooters/mopeds usually get? (Yes, I'm serious.)

Shell is the worst along with Chevron and BP in some places. Where I live there is 4 gas stations X'd across a 4-way intersection. Today, the Shell, Chevron, and BP all had 87 for at least $3 while the mobile had 87 for $2.69. It really has nothing to do with the individual station or the "gas crisis" the major companies are seeing that the average consumer think's there is a shortage so they are upping the wholesale prices to their stations. It's gonna take atleast a week in order for the actual effect of Katrina to effect prices for real. They don't even know what the damage is to the refineres, rigs, pipelines, and ports is yet except that it is prolly pretty bad. As we speak the fed gov. is investigating claims of price gouging by the major oil companies, and I totally believe that they're taking advantage of what is going on. The tanks at shipyards around here have been full since saturday after Katrina hit, and since then the wholesale prices have jumped up at least once a day and sometimes twice a day. BUT, only for certain companies(i.e shell and chevron). Serious raping going on by the oil companies, but what did we expect. Peace-

i've started riding my bike or taking public transportation. too bad both really suck where i live. biking is alright except for watching out for those crazy drivers.

one of the main lines running from the gulf coast all the up towards Maine hasn't been functioning regularly already, so they are definately starting to feel the effects over on the east coast. good thing my car gets pretty decent gas mileage. even better that i'm biking, losing weight and saving money :

It was 2.81 when I filled up at the Shell today. Really surprising for North Texas. I get about 30 miles to the gallon highway, so I'm happy.

Ace$nyper · #10 08-31-2005, 09:04 PM

damn I just saw 3.11 at luk oil

Rally Sport · #11 08-31-2005, 09:08 PM

Haha losers, my Shell station posted up 2.69 while i've seen others like Race Track which is usually WAY lower than Shell, but Race Track is like 2.89 unleaded and 2.99 premium.

Well im filling up tonight as soon as my mom comes home and im going to Shell

Ace$nyper · #12 08-31-2005, 09:19 PM

I'm half tempted to get full year insurance for maggie she gets around 50-60 if i dont act like an ass.

jcsaleen · #13 08-31-2005, 09:39 PM

3.27 for regular here!

All of the gas stations here ran out of gas today. My mom had to drive 30 minutes and then wait in a 30 minute line. There's a big rumor that we're going to be out forever, but we won't. They'll deliver more some time in the next week. Or I'm just in denial and I'm never going to have gas again.

I would love to walk everywhere, but Florida has terrible weather right now, it's hot and humid. Also, I'd have to leave, like, 2 hours early to make it to school.

Not to be nosey but where if florida are you located? In the Miami area last night a rumor got out that gas stations were going to close at 8PM and people started freaking out. I just so happened to be out and needed gas, so I went to my usual stop and the lines were like 8-10 cars deep on each island. I was like WTF is going on and people were like "THEY'RE GONNA CLOSE!! AND NOT OPEN AGAIN FOR LIKE A WEEK!!!!" people were filling up cans and shit it was crazy. But, 8PM rolled around and nothing happened. Yet this morning on my way to work I saw that many stations were over $3. Peace-
