Guys don't worry I drive a porsche it kinda uses more gas then it should But the gas prices will only go up to like 5-7$ the most for like 2 weeks the most. I have studied this stuff, I studied war, and Nostradamus which has nothing to do with the subject. lol It will be ok the prices will drop in like 2 weeks if it does not drop by the end of the week. I watched the stock market basically crash before it was closed. Oil took a big jump as well as steel went up. Then most of the stuff went down other then those to markets.

prices here in Arkansas went up to $4.00/gal. Most gas stations have closed. out of gas. I filled mine up yesterday, but for some reason, my Civic gets 15-20 mpg!

I think my feul injector needs cleaning.

Anyway, banks here have closed, all radio stations are broadcasting CNN, and most downtown buildings have been evacuated. I hope it all simmers down soon.

Holy crap man 15-20 mpg??? Id be checking plugs, wires, airfilters, injectors... anything Im getting about 30-35 with mine.


I think its just sad the these businesses are taking advantage of people in a time like this... They are just using it as an excuse to raise prices. They should be lower them... Some of these companies are just plain thieves..

Yes its a reason and they are dumb people that will buy the gas even if they don't need it yet for those prices. It's way to much if anything it should go to the most 3$ because this really does not affect the oil prices that much where gas shut up to like 5$. Oh well you put a price one something that people need and they will buy it sooner or later for that price. I have no clue where my little story is going so I better stop lol

Gas stayed low here. I saw $0.639/litre for regular earlier today. I don't know what that is, like, $1.40US/gallon or something, but it's actually the cheapest I can remember it being in a long time
