well, we are at war with iraq, and if sadam starts blowing up the oil wells again like in desert storm, the prices will go WAY up again... then if we shoot the little bastard, we will control iraq and get cheap oil for all!

Gas prices here are $1.60 per gal. But HEATING OIL is at $1.90 per gal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is totally ridiculous.

whine whine whine

Gods this topic really gets on my nerves. This MIGHT have been said before but i have no time to waste on the whining. Gas prices here have hit 1.69 1.79 1,89 for 87, 89, 92-3 octane respectively. I will agree that this is higher then the rock bottom prices we have become used to. I will also agree that the percentage of increase is more than the percentage increase in crude oil prices. This means some where along the line that profit margins have oincreased a bit. HOWEVER, when i started driving gas prices were the same granted it was 91 so the situations were similar too. but that pans out to 0% inflation in 12 years. That gives no one the right to complaine about gas prices. Unfortunately for me i still drive a gas hog of a vehicle but that is my choice. If your transportaion is a gas hog don't whine about it sell it and get something else, or sack up and shut up.

Yeah trucks are nice I used to have a 78 f250 4x4 351 and dual tanks $65.00-70 to fill up back in 91. BTW if you can get dual tanks there is nothing to compare ith the "security" of dual tanks driving down the highway in BFE and flip the switch only to discover that either you forgot that you used the other tank, or in my case dad "borrowed" the truck and burned a tank while i was in school.

BTW for those still speculating I am not a redneck but i play one on tv.

Well... I just put 30$ into my gas tank last night at a buck eight or so a gallon... for 87 octane!!! ARGH!

gas is killing me... I drive at least 50 miles a day, and only get 25 or so to the gallon...

Yeah, I was out in the Mountain View/Sunnydale area at the tail end of last week and through the weekend for a job interview, and the cheap stuff was $2.08 a gallon.

**RoadDawg** · 03-14-2003, 06:27 PM

Just paid 2.19 a gallon for the cheapy stuff. I feel like I'm getting you know what from behind.

**dave_p** · 03-14-2003, 09:02 PM

back in 80's

i used to work pumping gas (full service was king, none o dat self serve stuff)

we had a cam2 pump, thats 118 octane racing fuel. it was 3.75 a gallon back in 1985. the pump was old skool in that it had rotating analog numbers, not that digital stuff. those numbers would go so fast on that pump you couldnt even read em, much less do the old gas pumper trick of stopping to the dollar from a full bore pump.

havent seen cam2 in years, wonder how much it is now?

**Trench** · 03-14-2003, 09:05 PM

Truckers saying they are going to get screwed if the average gallon of Diesil gets to $2.00...
