I've been almost forced to ride my bike to school these days because gas it getting up to 3.90 a gallon. It'll probably have to go up to 6 to 7 dollars before anyone cuts back drastically.

Somewhat cheaper and higher octane. I fill my tank to full every week, sometimes twice a week. But keep in mind that I have a 80+ mile round trip everyday, and I log about 1,000miles on the car every month.

When we really want to take it out for a good spin we use high octane, but you can't find that on our river, we have to fill it up with gas cans with gas from in-town.

I wish our gas was in the price ranges that you guys are complaining about. I got some gas today and it was $1.33/liter, so that's about $5/US gallon. And from what the news has been saying, we will see prices of $1.50/liter or more by summer.

I've DRASTICALLY changed my driving habits. Although the weekend before last I was out racing in the Camaro.. it was glorious, but man did it eat gas. Now I take off easily, gently accelerate and don't care how long it takes to get to where I am going, I used to pass people all the time, now I'm the one getting passed. I hate gas prices, it's $3.49 here, and with my Camaro seeing 10 if I'm lucky.. yeah. The past two tanks have gotten me 100 miles, FROM THE WHOLE TANK... |

im currently using a 91 2 door honda accord and i get about 35 per gallon i have a 15.3 gallon tank and it cost about 50 bucks to fill since its 3.60$ here but i use 92 octane in my car so its a bit higher when i fill and it lasts me about 450 miles to a take last time i checked but if gas goes around 4.50 im looking for a better job but i guess going thorugh a divorce gives me a lot of extra cash anyways.

Ethanol is a bull**** fuel. You get worse MPG (the engine has to run at a much higher fuel pressure to burn the alcohol, thus sucking more fuel in the end). And until you convert all the transportation from between the seed and the pump to something cleaner, it's useless.
Biodiesel is where it's at. Quote:
Which... I have stocks in Exxon (knee-deep in gas, and future fuels, they'll be around for ever). My stocks haven't fallen yet. Just a gradual growth.... Buy Exxon Gas!

But he's in Canadia.
Though, my dream is to drive my Chevy in France one day. Take up a whole free way, park in the equivalent of 4 of their spaces, and ravage the country's fuel supply in no less then a week. Then over to Britain to use all 360 ft lb of torque to drag Clarckson and his fat *** and his entire office back accross the ocean, and force him to live in the back of my Firebird (the murderer car, as he calls these thing).

I'm not going to argue either way but just think about this. Gas starts as crude oil which is drawn out of the earth, shipped, refined, shipped again and then sold whereas milk comes from an animal living on the earth with much less work involved in getting the end product... some may argue that the farmer has to feed the cow and bla bla bla but what about orange juice? 5 bucks a gallon and it grows on a tree with virtually no human intervention. (maybe this will mean more to some of you when you have a family, have lost your mind, and find yourself nursing raccoons back to life in order to quiet the voices telling you to steer into the bridge embankment)

If it gets to $5/gal out here in L.A. it's going to start another riot - I'll be riding a moped to work with a can of mase in my hands then .
A few days ago I heard on the news that people was stealing gas out of those Semis and cargo trucks from business that have them parked in there compounds, plus they were alos going around puncturing people gas tanks to drain the fuel - it's pretty crazy the lenghts some people would got to get gas now-a-days.

umm.... $2.50, yea, Ive alredy changed my driving style. Gas here is $3.65 (as of Friday)
I have figured out the best driving style, I now take the bus or walk to most of the locations I go. Especially to school, You have to slam on the gas to keep from getting ran over there.

It's like 3.90 and up in SF, wow this blows big time, so much for going fast.
Jesus, I think Toyota and their Prius's have something to do with this(Toyota pays gas retailers loads of $$$ to bump up the prices, to sell more Priuses.) |

use a trailer. (except when mayflies are out. my uncle filled up the boat when there were mayflies. you couldn't see any concrete there, just mayflies, and at some places it was up to 3 inches of them. i was the one who had to get out and fill the boat... in sandals... but on the way back a guy had swept them into a probably 2-3 foot pile...)

Is the trailer on the water? No? Well then there's your problem.
Do people, once they get the boat in the water, just going to randomly trailer it back up, and then tow it to the station (thus wasting more gas towing)? Use that pink thing between ya' ears boy!
