cauzomb 04-29-2007, 02:25 AM Just thought I'd get this going here since I just talked to the gas delivery truck driver at the station.. He said tank up now cause it's gonna be $4.00 a gallon in the morning..
Heylinder 04-29-2007, 10:02 AM Cheapest is $2.87 in SE Georgia. But I haven't been out of the house for a couple days so I'll update this later today :)
OEM_guy 04-29-2007, 10:14 AM I'm not willing to accept a cut in wage
Safe bet, neither are executives/stockholders of oil companies
My wife, due to health issues rarely gets out therefore I do the shopping
She is like in a time warp about the cost of day-to-day items
It really startles her when she does get out and see what things cost
Every year I get my statement from the Social Security Administration informing me of my projected (in the event the SSA should still exist, which I believe to be unlikely) earnings upon retirement
I sincerely doubt that would afford 2 people the luxury of food twice daily when the current levels of inflation are factored in over the period of time between now and retirement
I'm looking at 2 viable options
1.) keep working
2.) purchase enough land to start an old-folks-commune so we can grow food and share prescription medications and try to squeeze by somehow
Hang on, it's not going to get any better in the foreseeable future
.....reminds me of the time this old codger come into the hardware store where I was working......fellow wanted to purchase a broom and balked at the $7.99 price tag on a decent model on display.
"The last time I bought a broom it was only $1.75!"
The owner of the store stated, "That is odd, I can't think of anything else that has gone up in the last 17 years?"
and, so goes the cycle of life
TurcoLoco 04-29-2007, 11:40 AM Just thought I'd get this going here since I just talked to the gas delivery truck driver at the station.. He said tank up now cause it's gonna be $4.00 a gallon in the morning..
He might be pulling you leg because I seriously doubt the driver would know what the price is going to be at the gas station. Especially when they are all different.
Down in So Cal, it was below $3.00 for a short period a little while back but now, it is probably around $3.30 for the cheapest. I generally prefer super unleaded which runs at least $3.50 to $3.70 :(
People complain about gas prices and inflation yet still vote for u know who....baffles me.
Gizmokid2005 04-29-2007, 09:29 PM It's hovering @2.89-2.99 right now...
I'm going to be getting my cycle endorsement and riding my mom's sportster this summer.

Gizmokid2005 04-29-2007, 10:06 PM Haven't you heard knight? NOTHING is free anymore....
knight0334 04-29-2007, 10:25 PM well thats what I was told that we were over there for. :roll:
Mathster 04-29-2007, 10:30 PM $2.759 here.
Its summer time, its going to go up, it does every year.
There is more at play in fuel prices than supply and demand.
Weak dollar, commodity speculations, insane emmision requirements, etc.
jholland1964 04-29-2007, 11:26 PM Right now it seems to be averaging around $2.86 for regular throughout the state of Indiana, with the lowest at $2.79 for regular and here, in this town with 35,000 population, where I live our prices are always higher, have no idea why but they are and we have at least one station where the price for a gallon of regular tonight is $2.97!
TurcoLoco 04-30-2007, 12:03 AM well thats what I was told that we were over there for. :roll:Don't kid yourself, the oil is for oil companies to get but what the American public pays will never change! Besides Bush had to get the oil cheap for them to pay back for their contributions during his election campaign...thanks to the war, he provided the opportunity for some of the wepoans/ammo to be used so now the arms dealers can sell more to the army and make more $$$ again....it is a vicious cycle but you guys already knew that... :roll:
cauzomb 04-30-2007, 02:55 AM yup, someone referred to it as Military Industrialisation, but all that asside...
I forgot to take note of the gas prices when I was out today..I paid 3.69 for premium the other day. The cheapest I saw regular over here is $3.30
starshooter10 04-30-2007, 11:44 PM WTF are you guys complaing about?!
come to NOR_cal and you only pay the SMALL price of 3.749 a gal! (87 as of last night!)
$#@%'in commie gas company's
and #%$#$ state tax it's like 70+ cents a gal!
Heylinder 05-01-2007, 06:46 AM WTF are you guys complaing about?!
come to NOR_cal and you only pay the SMALL price of 3.749 a gal! (87 as of last night!)
You are talking about something else with the huge difference between what you pay and what I pay ... It's called cost of living :rolleyes: The same house in Northern California would cost a third of the price here in SE Georgia. Pay rate is also higher there. So we all have just as much right to complain as you do :p
cauzomb 11-13-2007, 07:31 PM TTT^ I noticed the local gas prices are going up around here, even for winter; someone said prices of oil were 90+ a barrel; used to be $60.. Are you prepared to pay 4 dollars a gallon?
Gizmokid2005 11-13-2007, 07:38 PM Gas prices ARE going up. This morning oil was at $95/barrel and gas was 3.24/gal. Gas is slated to go up at least another $.20 in the next week or two and they are talkinb $100/barrel by end of the month...
We don't have a choice about paying $4/gallon...that's the kicker.
Mathster 11-13-2007, 08:02 PM Gasoline is B$0.60 per liter
Diesel is B$0.34 per liter
current exchange rate is US$1.00 = B$1.45
That works out to
Gasoline is $1.57/gallon
Diesel is $.89/gallon
Diesel is
Gizmokid2005 11-13-2007, 09:19 PM Good news!!! Crude oil is down to $91.17 today!!!
Red Squirrel 11-13-2007, 09:41 PM gas here is around 1.09/litre last I checked. Thats 4.1/galon for you US folks. :P
And to think, the UK has it worse then us.
What I don't understand is we have plenty of oil in our lands, it would be economicaly positive for us to just make our own refineries, and even totally break out of opec and just keep it local and make up our own prices.
Or scratch that, stop allowing the oil industry to patent every single alternative energy source, so others can use them and start making non pollution economical machines. (cars mostly, but also stuff like lawnmowers, generators, etc)
Mathster 11-13-2007, 09:45 PM So did the US dollar strengthen?
supply and demand has little to do with the recent increase. the US dollar is weakening... badly...
jholland1964 11-13-2007, 10:27 PM Right now in our city, gasoline ranges from $3.14-$3.18 a gallon depending on location of the station (at a locally owned chain) to $3.24 (Marathon) for regular. For whatever reason our small town...35,000 people...always has gasoline prices at least 10 cents a gallon higher than most of the state...we don't know why.
30 miles away for the same local chain...price is $3.12 a gallon.
60 miles north in Ft. Wayne prices range from $3.06 to $3.18.
60 miles to the south in Indianapolis prices range from $3.02 to $3.18 a gallon.
layla17 11-14-2007, 09:01 AM Right around $3.15 ...it's awful.
mrweasel 11-14-2007, 11:04 AM last week it was $3.11 @ Wawa (premium...damn German cars:banghead:)
Last night when I went by it was $3.29 :spank:
Damn I wish I could use Regular ($2.93)
Heylinder 11-14-2007, 01:10 PM $3.03 - $3.09 for regular her in SE Georgia. I do put premiun in my '71 Super Beetle but have no idea how much it cost .... I don't want to know ;)
Gizmokid2005 11-14-2007, 01:30 PM I wish I didn't have to know how much it was....*cringes at thought of buying it again tomorrow*
Mathster 11-14-2007, 10:51 PM Oh come on.... think of how bad it could be.
the UK was just under 1 pound for a liter when I was there last
Norway was about 11.5 NOK per liter when I was there last
Brunei is almost 0.60 BND per liter today.
but out of those three countries, guess which ones have to conform to the global emissions standards and which one doesn't....

layla17 11-15-2007, 09:23 AM I just went to buy gas this morning and it's up to 3.19. I can't imagine how much it will be next week.
Gizmokid2005 11-15-2007, 09:24 AM Wow...I have to get gas this afternoon after work...Looks like it's just going DOWN to ~$3.12 area...
Freakatola 11-15-2007, 03:08 PM hmm... well its $1.02 here.. in Ottawa Canada... not sure how that translated into galons though..
Red Squirrel 11-15-2007, 05:32 PM What I hate about gas is not only is it expensive, but we're destroying our planet with it.
Gizmokid2005 11-15-2007, 06:23 PM Freak - $1.02*3.78=$3.86/gallon
I paid $50 today to fill up at $3.23/gal...
punkrkr52 11-15-2007, 09:09 PM round here it jumps between $3.00 and $3.30 for the premium i put in my car.

Red Squirrel 11-16-2007, 11:33 AM lol I can imagine. Here it costs about 70 bucks to fill my mom's car.
It's about $3.15 for 89 octane in the suburbs of Orlando but if you are near the tourist attractions, you'll pay more.....
Heylinder 11-17-2007, 08:24 AM We paid $3.17 in Savannah yesterday but here at home (90 miles south) it is down to $3.01.

$2.999 at the chains.
Gizmokid2005 11-21-2007, 07:06 AM Some places around here went back up to $3.20 overnight while others just out of town went down to $2.93....
cauzomb 11-22-2007, 12:24 AM Telling your local attourny general? unfair; highway robery on gas prices... why should they get a good deal; make sure "everyone" pays the same, as they often don't use that extra money on "local" tax based road repairs and people are going to drive out of town to buy gas cheaper..
TurcoLoco 11-22-2007, 12:35 AM Thanks to US Auto makers, pretty soon all of China will be driving cars while due to gas prices and efforts to make the areas 'greener', Americans will be riding bicycles.....wouldn't that be hilarious? :p
cauzomb 11-22-2007, 01:21 AM The automakers are trying to SUE the government over regulations the states trying to sue the agriculteral "people" over violating protected wilderness laws by not providing an invironmental impact report, so they can prep acres for vinyards; but the government's throwing out the case cause the "TREES" that they want to clear cut are not "comercial timber products" which are not controlled by the department of forestry, so they don't have to fill out a environmental impact report..... So yeah.. I'll ride my bike, I won't buy wine, and those money grubbing environment killer's can go suck "genetically altered" eggs... while I'm walking off into the wilderness being chased by helicopters and dogs, cause I'm "tresspassing" err I mean "traveling in the persuite of happyness" Alot of people don't realise how much of a slave to society they realy are till they try not to be..... but it's against forum rules to talk about "politics" so nevermind....
Gizmokid2005 11-26-2007, 08:14 AM It's down to $3.04 here finally....lets see if we can't get under $3 by December....*rolls eyes*

It was needed when the government and the country was getting bigger and stronger but is it still the most ideal form? Arguably not but like you said, this is no place to talk about politics but I do agree with what you said, just don't try to climb up my tree when you get to the forest!

You do realize that there is a huge misconception amongst people that the higher the octane of the gas, the better/faster it is? Cars are designed to use a certain grade (octane) for optimum consumption and for most cars it is the regular unleaded (87), putting a higher octane pretty much means you are pissing away your $$, simple as that.
Motorcycles on the other hand, could actually benefit from higher octane as their engines make use of the higher octane and using lower octane gas could actually effect their performance but not so with cars built in the last decade or so...

cauzomb 04-01-2008, 03:04 AM Oh, I knew you were aware, never in my mind I had a doubt! :bow:
Well, anyhow, to your question, the price difference leads believe to think that higher the rating the better the gas...well, it may be more usable for engines that have higher baseline compression.. if you are using low rating gas that is prone to pre-ignition, or ping/detonation, the computer will retard the timing and instead of the expanding gasses pushing the piston they get wasted as heat out the exhaust, which would decrease the fuel economy by a certain amount for the time that the computer is acting on the timing... going up a long hill with 87 in a car that says use 91+ could possibly cause the exhaust gasses temperature to skyrocket and damage the valve seats, or overheat the head and blow a head gasket..

TurcoLoco 04-01-2008, 11:48 PM Summer of 2005, crude oil cost just under $70 a barrel (which had increased by 40% form previous years already). The national average for regular unleaded was $2.619.
Today, crude oil costs over $102 a barrel an expected to go over $110 real soon. The national average for regular unleaded is $3.26 and expected to go over $4 in the near future -not looking good at all-!
According to the Camarillo, California-based survey, drivers in the San Francisco area paid the highest price in the country, an average $3.66 a gallon for gas, while drivers in Newark, New Jersey, paid the least, $3.03 a gallon.

jholland1964 04-15-2008, 11:11 PM Prices here in town yesterday were $3.34 at noon and by 2 P.M. the price for regular had gone to $3.49! Biggest jump at one time we have seen in ages, usually it is just a few cents change, if it changes.
They slipped this in on us, normally around here Tuesday is the day the prices go up, sometime after 3 P.M.
Lowest price around here right now is some place "out in the boonies", have no idea where it is, but the price there is $3.36
Tell you what...this will show how old I am...when I was 17, in 1963, and had my own car...which was OLD...a 1951 Plymouth!...anyway, gas was 25 cents a gallon.

You are payin $4.72/gal....gas just went up to $4.15 again today...
It's the Goldman Sachs predictions....a conflict of interest and they forecasted that oil would be at $150/bbl by July 4. Of course they predicted that, they have a solid vested interest in it...Record-breaking day again today...
cauzomb 06-07-2008, 02:57 AM $4.759 at the local shell. I think it's only fair that we pay as much as they do... ;)
Freakatola 06-08-2008, 05:21 PM I would be more pissed off about the whole situation, but work pays my by the kilometre, sooo.. i'm still making a few pennies on a tank... but i just heard they are upping the rate another penny per/km... now i'll make 10 cents per tank :)
cauzomb 06-08-2008, 11:25 PM When I had a job in transporation, my boss just gave me a fuel account and they had to co-sign recipts in order for my purchase to be "OK" with the accountant of company. Atleast you scrap someth'n on that deal.
TurcoLoco 06-09-2008, 09:30 PM As much as I love my V8 Silverado and had spent a few $$ to sup it up (exhaust kit/ cold air intake, chip, etc.), I am seriously thinking about trading it in for a more economical vehicle.
The only thing that balances the truck is my bike that I get to ride a few days a week despite temperatures around 100 degrees.
Gas prices are nuts, future not looking good! :ohno:
Gizmokid2005 06-09-2008, 10:09 PM The only reason that oil is as high as it is...is because of Goldman & Sach. That's it. They have investments in the oil futures, yet the market is hinged on their predictions.
Gas was going down until they predicted oil at $150/bbl by July 4th. Oil shot up $10.50/bll just that one day....sorry, but there is a HUGE conflict of interest there....

cauzomb 08-24-2008, 07:48 PM Suposed to go below 4.00 around here, local shell station had premium at 4.43, then 4.33, local quickstop, regular 87 at 4.08, station a few miles the other way was at 3.99 for regular.. Maybe I'll hold off buying gas for the bike, I'm still going to try to convert my car to alternative fuels though, not just for "renewability, but for performance advantages as well, I can run my compression at 9.5, use ethenal and still bounce the vacuum/pressure guage needle off 1.2 bar over atmosphere.. Trouble with this is that I've heard storries of people breaking rods/pistons before the knock computer even detects a knock, just from the increased combustion pressure alone...

Gavleston is running $2.809 to $3.399. so much for the supply and demand theory since much of galveston is running on generator power and the heavy equipment is burning diesel in a hurry.

I can go across the bridge into Ohio and it's $1.77 last time a filled up (last week) ... should be around $1.69 or so by now.
Diesel .... around $3.49 which is a total load of crap seeing how it's cheaper to make than gasoline.
Gizmokid2005 11-20-2008, 12:07 PM it's $1.76 out here now. Diesel is down to $2.89
TurcoLoco 11-20-2008, 12:09 PM Calm down kids, give it another few months and sure enough, you all will be dreaming of the prices we got today!! :eep:
I predict Regular Unleaded to be over $3.50 /gallon by next Summer.
cauzomb 11-20-2008, 10:29 PM whatever, it got us a market flooded with cheap hotrods "gas guzlers" a prime time to snatch up a minty one owner daily driver.

cauzomb 11-23-2008, 11:37 PM I saw ranges from $1.999 for regular, to 2.30 something for premium tonight. Gotta go get me some gas for the bike and mower.

I saw ranges from $1.999 for regular, to 2.30 something for premium tonight. Gotta go get me some gas for the bike and mower.
I was thinking about filling everything up that could possibly hold gas in it but then realized, what is the use, sooner or later when the prices go up, you will still have to pay the price so that a spoiled idiot could have a ridiculously expensive toy (http://message.snopes.com/showpost.php?p=550264&postcount=1) or something like that.
TurcoLoco 12-07-2008, 01:02 PM Sudden and rapid decline in gas prices caused this thread to be nearly forgotten....well, in case the prices go back up again (and we all know they will too), here is something for you to consider buying in lieu of a hybrid car:

Ever since the upgrades to my truck, I have been using the Super Unleaded, costs about $5 more than filling my 24 gallon tank with a regular but I actually get another mile or two more per gallon not to forget the performance boost! :bliss:
Gizmokid2005 12-19-2008, 06:31 PM Yeah...that's good. Won't help my truck though, when you have 193k miles on it...it doesn't do much lol.

All of June and July I watched prices jump up durring the weekend, anywhere from 3 5 7 or 10 cents per gallon and go back down again durring the week...
Now they are trying to grab as much of the road tripper's mula before the end of summer = less driving = less gas sold per day, and according to the oil price forcasters, there's no increase in the price of crude, forcasted through mid feb 2010. Apparently, they are not basing their recent price increase on what it will cost them to replace what they sell....
cauzomb 09-05-2009, 06:21 PM Saw the gas prices jump this weekend an average of 5-15 cents per gallon... Must be that "we need to charge extra durring the holliday" thing.
Gizmokid2005 09-05-2009, 06:23 PM Yup, that's EXACTLY what it was...

oil prices coming back up, it looks like we gonna be busy next year. maybe I can get that class in Ireland Ive been wanting in for the past two years. And maybe upgrade some equipment in Indonesia.
Im starting to miss the travel I was doing two years ago...
cauzomb 10-17-2009, 04:15 PM not sure what RUG is, the cheapest I saw regular at yesterday was 2.999 per gal
cauzomb 10-17-2009, 07:48 PM K found out RUG is Regular Unleaded Gasoline. so yeah.. prices are pretty high in this area of California compared to ROW :P.
Mathster 10-18-2009, 11:27 AM just start paying for your gas with IOUs
What ever fuel prices do, Some will see us as having it easy, some will see us as being ripped off.
A couple years ago, I saw fuel prices from $.10/Liter where everyone rode scooters and could barely afford to go to work, up to $2/Liter and the only place people walked was to the bar for a $12 - .33L beer....
cauzomb 01-17-2010, 10:54 PM Local station had premium at 3.219 per gallon
We're still hovering around $2.63-$2.68 for regular
cauzomb 01-26-2010, 04:15 PM Saw regular from $2.79 to $2.99 the other day
cauzomb 03-17-2010, 03:06 AM we're up to 3.20 something for premium, It'll probly go higher as we get into the warmer months, n spring break with more people expected to be traveling, they will probly jack the prices up...
