Im thinking about buying a pick up

 

I paid 1.39/liter for 92 preminum yesterday, converte that and I think thats over 5/galon. And canada has oil hahahaha

 

When I first started my current job 5 years ago, it was in Hackensack and I was commuting from Plainsboro. It was 110 miles roundrip every day, plus over $100 in tolls each month. That commute sucked monkey balls. Did that for about 6 months before the company moved. It took me between 2-3 hours every single night to get home. I can't imagine what my gas bill would be now if I still had that commute.

 

It's not fun.

Before I moved from NJ, I worked about 45 miles from home. And 2 days a week I worked in the City. I was driving into NYC at least 3 times a week. Plus the NJTP every trip. My EZPass was well over $100 a month.

 

Yea fuck taxes, why would you want money to pay for roads and public services?

 

If you think the state of California has been using the gas tax money for roads and transit, you are gravely mistaken.

The clowns in Sac town have been raiding the gas tax fund for years to fund other areas of the budget.

 

Yeah... finish school and start working full time, then get back to us on that.

 

if only the roads actually got paved as a result.

 

 

Gas Widget FTW!!

 

Premium and only 92??

 

92 that's weird it's usually 91 or 94 here. Premium is 91 here.

 

91!?!?!

DAMN!

I would think 92 is the absolute lowest. 91 is Plus here. 93 is premium. 94?? Never heard of that.

 

^Premium here is 93 (89 is mid-grade, 87 is regular). I've seen 94 in other places. All some places have is 91, though.

 

It's 3.50 here for cheap shit. what i think it is. big oil companies got what they wanted. they wanted the off shore drilling. Bush granted it and now the public can party for a little bit while prices came down. I'm not partying until it hits below 3 bucks. it's still a good 50 cents above what i'd like for it to be.

 

No they didnt.

Congress has to approve it first.

 

Never heard of it but I will have to try it.

 

if Congress has a brain they'll push it through. this drop short lived.

 

We wouldn't feel the effects of off shore drilling for years, anyway.

 

Yes and no. Seems like speculators were a big factor in the huge spike in oil prices. If those speculators see a big increase in supply coming, even if it's a few years off, wouldn't that affect their trading now?

 

 

Rofl.

When I saw the pictures I was so happy...

And then I saw his location.. Kansas...

Freaking.. its still over $4 for premium here in So. Cal... unless you want to get Arco premium for $3.99

 

this isn't the first time off shore drilling has came up for a vote. but even if it takes 7-10 years ago if it would have went through i bet about a month or 2 ago when gas was 4 bucks+ a gallon that oil would have came in handy.
will it fix it right now this minute no.
but i'll take it once they( the oil rig and oil companies) get it flowing.
it's time we fight Foreign oil.
i know Obama claims the oil companies have tons of land to drill on but they don't out of choice. i think some large deposits of oil are where oil companies can't drill. you could have a million acres of land but if it only produce 100 barrels a day of oil what good does it do for production and profitablity?
besides offshore drilling and lifting bans on alaska to drill and in national parks as long as it done respectfully to the environment.
we as a nation have to do a few things:
#1. drive less (which i think we are trying to adjust to)
#2. car makers have to start making more efficent cars and quit buying SUVs when it's a family of 3 or 4.
#3. the goverment gotta upgrade our roads. a lot of gas and diesel wasted in traffic tieups. just sitting idleing. a lot of interstates were built in the 1960s. even as the amount of drivers grew, and traffic grew states failed to expand and upgrade interstates. a lot of states had the tax dollars to upgrade the roads but because whatever fund was short or running low they'd steal money from the Road tax fund. so this would result in the Interstate would have to wait another year or 5. and it's been "on the backburner" for atleast 20 years. it's time that states stand up and say we're gonna upgrade our roads.

 

I've actually been driving more than usual lately (even before gas prices started dropping), but this doesn't matter at all since I won't be taking my car to UW next year anyways.

 

you got a Civic no offense it cost what 40-45 bucks to fill up and gets 35+ mpg on the highway. it's a little different when you got lets say a Hemi 4x4 Aspen like my dumbass sister. that gets a incredible 14 mpg on the highway.

 

Even though a Civic is obviously gas friendly, the cheaper gas is, the more money I have to spend. Plus being a student I've got a lot of stuff I need to spend money on besides gas.

 

I'm still predicting sub-$3/gallon gas by mid October.....

 

still over $4 for premium here. should be under in a few days though.

 

i hope so but i wouldn't put money on it.
it went up a dime a gallon today versus yesterday locally.
i was gonna fill the Accord up (it's at a 1/2 a tank) but since it went up i decided to let it go.

 

before gas was like 3+ a gallon i'd let the gas light come on in my Accord and no big deal 35 bucks fill it. now it's 35 bucks when it's got somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2. when the gas light on you're talking probably 50-55 bucks.

 

wait if Canada joins OPEC. OPEC has invited Canada to join but they are still thinking about it.

 

Paris Hilton had that spoof video remarking that we should drill for more oil to carry us over to the alternatives, and a lot of people said despite being spoof video, that makes a lot of sense. In reality it's precisely the pressure created by high prices that drive alternatives. Falling gas prices and extra drilling relieve the pain and relieve the will to invest in alternatives. We'll get to those alternatives but we want new HD TVs first.

 

4.09 for regular this morning in the chicago burbs.

 

 

Did my first fill up... $55...

 

I want what you are smoking.

 

I just paid $4.09 for BP ultimate here on Long Island, it's by far the cheapest I have seen it in a while. 27.8mpg as well =)

 

Come mid-October you'll be eating those words Moog.....

 

4.49 premium in sf. 4.39 just north in marin. won't ever get below 3.99

 

Think again. He's from California.

My sister just came back from a month in Atlanta, GA.... she said "gas was so cheap there!"
