Unhappy 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

Re: Gas prices.....

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.

Re: Gas prices.....

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

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.

Re: Gas prices.....

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

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.....
