    You only need a car payment if you do not have enough money to buy a car out-right. If that is the case, then sell the jeep and buy a lightly used smaller car.

    With gas, at the end of the day you have nothing. With a car, at the end of the day you still have a car.

      Basically the article was about why gas station A has gas for up to 15 cents cheaper than gas station B when they were right next to (or just down the road from) each other.

      Yea well proce difference has many factors im sure but also i found out today that if your a BP gas station BP sends you a list of prices and so on with other companys..makes since its like msrp on merchandise..my us history teacher owns 2 gas stations thas how i acquired that info..inpertanent info i know.

        I love the way they arbitrarily lower production/raise gas prices so they can make $75 billion as opposed to just $70 billion.... There is no oil shortages... as my Macro Economics teacher in High School said, people are not waiting in lines at the gas pumps, there is no government rationing of fuel... OPEC just sits down, decides they want to make a few more million dollars a day and "reduces" oil production... what a joke.


        like i said, Nuke OPEC
        OPEC is being a good capitalist, don't be mad just because the OPEC nations are screwing us over, just like we once did to them.

          I was actually thinking of selling the Jeep i was given in order to get another jetta type car... but then thought about and and came to the conclusion that it would be on the same level as selling the viking that I am being given for a blazer... So outta RESPECT for the givers I am doing neither..

          blah. the whole game and i never once saw the Pirate Parrot do a back flip..He/she only wiggled his/her buttox and jiggled his/her tummy Only twice did he get on top of the dug out to dance (we were in row 121 h.. right behind the dugout). One of those times was durning the 7th inning streach for "take me out to the ball game" . The perogie race was ambushed by him/her. I was very dissapointed. (oh yea I have it all on 20 second snipets of video... lol). I still vote ICEBERG!!!

            I hadn't even realized it went up to 3.48. Last time I filled, it was at 2.99

            This can really hurt us as my dad owns a floor covering store. We've got 2 vans, 2 pickups, and a jeep - just for our business.

            And since carpet is an oil bi-product, the price of this has also gone up.
            I believe they've found or are coming up with a different way of making the yarn, so this isn't as serious.

            Not to mention the freight charges.

            The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves. 'You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

                When did we screw over OPEC nations as a whole?

                  I'm pretty sure the battery is covered under warranty since a coworker of mine has a honda insight and rigged his battery to show that it need replacing prior to his warranty running out at the end of last month.

                  Back to gas prices last tuesday morning gas prices $2.55/gal.
                  Last tuesday afternoon gas price $3.25/ gal. at the same gas station
                  Luckily I got some on Thursday for $2.81
