Gas Prices

[StangRacer]

O.K. I paid $2.19 a gallon for regular unleaded for my Jeep this morning. This is bullshit. I'm gonna start riding my bicycle to work every day even if it takes me 2 hours each way. Nah, on second thought I'm too lazy to do that I'll just keep bitching about the prices. Sorry I just had to rant.

[357windsor]

I think it's bullshit that the prices change DAILY! They don't get in daily shipments. F$#$in' scammers!!!

Take a ride to toledo to fill up ;)

[~Z28girl~]

Gas prices rised as soon as I traded in my Honda for a Camaro :(

[ReiKo]

Man all of you quit your bitching... Try filling up a F-150 with a 35 Gallon tank every other DAY... Then bitch...

[Strtracer]

Just got back from a road trip to Ohio to drop off some parts. Took the SC Olds that requires premium fuel and weighs 4000 lbs, my average speed was 74 mph and I got 26.8 mpg. Wonder what would happen if I slowed down a little?

[1Quick88]

try this site (www.gasbuddy.com) ...normally u can find some decent prices around. :D

You have no room to talk miss "The car is running like shit paul yet I keep bouncing the bitch off the limiter" :rofl: :rofl:

That's not always true Mike. I've been in Toledo for work, and on the odd occasion, gas was cheaper in Michigan. That website might help make a decision though.

[Steve Starnes]

I definately paid $2.33 the other day for gas. Sucks I can't put regular unleaded in my beast. I almost shit my pants when I seen that..... :mad:

[Racingqtrsstang]

Thank god i filled up at the beginning of the week at 1.99 a gallon.

In a matter of an hour it jumped at speedway from 1.99 to like 2.23 a gallon :mad:

I did too. I think I found the last station that had it a $1.99 I was like WTF??!!

[BigWheelinBubba]

I remember when gas prices first went up after 9/11... People were filling their cars up at $2 a gallon, then using the filling nozzle to beat the hell out of the gas pump when they were done. :rolleyes:

Well, I didn't know the Lincoln shuts off after 100 something. :o :D

Sorry if I offend anyone here, but I live in the same area as them..........fuck the arabs. :D

[357windsor]

I could handle it if it went up sometimes and only a little at a time but 15 cents in a less than a day! :mad: And they wonder why people here don't trust them! It's all about greed and seeing how much they can get outta us! Doesn't help our gas is taxed to hell!! (Thanks staoe of Michigan!! :mad: )

[cobrafreak01]

Well, I didn't know the Lincoln shuts off after 100 something. :o :D

Its like 104, my Focus has the same problem. :mad:

[1Quick88]

im lucky if i can get my Grand dam past 105 :lol: and thats not the speed limiter because its still trying but doesnt have the balls to do it..hahaha

[LodderD]

Gas prices here in Louisville ranging from $2.00 - $2.20 a gallon.

We don't control it.. The corporation does... Complain to them...

Weve got plenty of oil here, we just wont pump it out of the ground or build the needed refinery's. Just be glad youre not in California.

[ReiKo]

It's the LACK OF REFINERIES that causes these gas prices...

[99SVTAddict]

It's more than that....supply and demand. Basic economics here....except gas companies put "theory" into their equation. Such as "we predict Asia will need more crude oil this year so supply will be down inflating prices today"

:rolleyes:

[Swifster]

Not that anyone here would use this stuff, but with the current cost of gas I thought I'd price out some E-85. My Ranger is a flex-fuel vehicle and can use E-85 as well as gasoline. E-85 is 85% gasoline and 15% ethenol.

The only eastside station that sells it is the BP/Amaco at Rochester Rd and M-59. The cost was $3.01 a gallon!!! Ethenol come from corn. If the expensive stuff is gasoline, what the hell??? That, and the mileage is worse. The only reason to use this stuff I guess is that it burns cleaner (emissions). Screw the ozone, I could buy premium for that and have enough for a good lunch :D .

[357windsor]

What pisses people off is that prices jump constantly. A friend of mine worked at a gas station and you know how they'd set the price? They'd send him or someone else down the street and see what everyone else was charging. You here these guys complaining "I don't make any money on gas".
Bullshit if you're not making money go do something else!! :mad: can see why people get pissed off!! Companies do set prices but I gaurantee they can charge above what they're told. Just my little rant-I'm done.

[Lisa]

Its like 104, my Focus has the same problem. :mad:

Lol! I haven't gone over 90mph in the Focus because that little motor sounds like it's going to explode. :lol:

You do realize that gas stations make majority of their money off their marts and garages right?

[ReiKo]

Actually if we want to get techincal gas stations make about 95% GPI(Gross Profit Income) Off you suckers who buy tons of shit at the gas station besides gas! :eek:

[1Quick88]

yeah someone told me that gas stations actually make more money off the the stuff they sell inside the store rather than the gas itself..dont know if its true or not :confused:

[Lisa]

My dad used to own a gas station. Anyways, that's pretty much true. The average they make on gas is usually .03 to .06 cents per gallon (depending on the company, etc). The big money is in selling cigarettes, pop, food, etc... and almost everyone that comes in purchases that.

Its $1.25-up for 20oz a pop when you can get a 2 liter for $1-$1.50 :rolleyes: Communists...

I started driving in 93 and it was .87 a gallon back then, so probably around .90 cents I'd have to say in 94.
