Gas Prices suck
i just wanted to rant for a second...the premium gas price in my town just rose to $1.77/gal....jesus christ, it now costs me a little over $25 to fill my damn tank...looks like my baby will be getting mid-grade a few times a month now....

PHEW, glad I'm not in the bay area anymore for once. Still nearly $2/gal. for 91 here though. Let's all be thankful we drive Hondas!
A little lighter on the right foot can save a lot at the pump too... I am averaging over 27mpg in my CL.

I just paid 1.71 for Mobil Super yesterday, but less then 2-Weeks ago I remember paying 1.55 at the same gas station.
I don’t mind.
It’s worth it to see all the humongous SUV’s paying 40 bucks or more for a fill up.
I hope it goes up to 2.75 a gallon when the bombs start dropping in Iraq.

Find beauty in dissonance
With any luck, my commute will be 1/4 of what I drive now in 2-3 months. < 20 miles a day will be nice. :P
Less gas, less insurance, less mileage =

Where is my super sauce?
Who is near the San Diego area Mobil station that is known as the most expensive in the nation? It's on the corner of La Jolla Village Drive and Villa La Jolla Drive across from the UCSD campus in La Jolla, CA.
What's premium like there? $3.00?

so price is 80+80+80+40=$2.80
today gas went up 90 cnts a litre
so price is 90+90+90+45=$3.15
thats see 4 litres to a gallon

I paid $1.66 per gallon for 91 octane...and I only go with Chevron.
For the Canadians...that's $1.50 Canada to $1.00 US...so $3.15 Canadian is like $2.10 US...still over the $2 mark!

I am QUITE SURE that resident bush and vice resident Cheny think gas prices are just fine, in fact, maybe a bit too low. But that is OK. We will go to IRAQ and steal some. That will increase their percent share of the holdings, after the oil wells are "nationalized."
Meanwhile, Osama and Kim Jung (mentally) Il, remain real problems, and remain ignored. Can't find Sammy, and North Korea has no oil. I guess it is no problem that N. Korea announced today that it can reach the west coast of the USA with a nuclear missle. Don't worry. Be happy.
