DBru Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 $3.95 here. There's a rumor going around that Israel is about to bomb Iraq, causing gas prices to rise up above $6 all around the US. Is there any truth to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RtherBOnACoaster Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 I filled up my Mustang at $4.79 yesterday... I love getting 9MPG! At least I don't have to run premium though... My brother says he puts in about $100 to fill his BMW... What a joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 WOW! We've got it bad. I converted the price to dollars and littres to gallons and got a price of about $8.49 per gallon! That's ridiculous! Luckily, I don't have to pay. You may not have to pay for the gas, but in the long run, you will be paying in other ways. We've had to cut back on spending quite a bit, including canceling our vacation because gas is just too expensive. I'm tired of being able to afford a vacation, but not able to pay the gas to get there. It sucks. But the point being is that after spending so much on gas, you won't have much money left for anything else. Know what I mean? $3.88 here. I remember driving past a gas station and thinking $1.90 was expensive. Damn and look where we are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verticalzero Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s2i37628 A Midwestern man plans to drive solo across the United States to make a point about gas prices. "Gas really isn't that expensive," Ted Snorgel told reporters in a press conference from his truck on Monday morning, just minutes before he began the drive. Snorgel has decided to drive from Tampa, Florida to Anchorage, Alaska, a journey that will take him over 4800 miles. Although about 1000 miles of his trip will be in Canada, most of the time he will be driving along interstates in the U.S. The news that oil had risen to over $143 a barrel did not deter the thirty-three year old delivery man. "People complain about how expensive gas is all the time. But it really isn't if you compare it to all the other crap people spend their money on. My neighbors buy a six pack of beer every day. That's only 72 ounces of fluid, a lot less than a gallon. And they are paying six or seven bucks for it. How can they complain about gas prices?" Snorgel, a delivery man for an unspecified company, claims that gas prices have not affected his lifestyle at all, even though he has to pay for his own gas on deliveries and only makes $27,000 per year. To drive his point home even harder, Snorgel will be driving an inefficient 1985 Ford diesel truck. "It gets 8 miles to the gallon, maybe 10 if I am lucky. But on this trip, I am going to try to use as much gas as possible." Experts estimate that Snorgel will use over 500 gallons of gas and spend approximately $2500 on gas alone during his trip, or 14% of his annual takehome pay. After he adds food and lodging, that number will be well over $3000. Snorgel plans to drive about twelve hours a day at an average speed of 70 mph. "Faster if there aren't any cops, but with all the publicity I am gonna get, I don't want to chance it." The trip will take about six days. Several companies, such as In-Bev, the foreign brewer that tried to purchase Anheuser Busch by taking advantage of the weakened U.S. dollar, have offered to compensate Snorgel for his expenses, but he has refused. "I even had a buddy say he would go with me and pay for half the gas. Hell no, I told him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 It's about $1.35/litre over here, which if I'm converting my litres right (1 gallon = 4.54 L?) means that Canadians are paying about $6.13/gallon. Wha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 ^Yeah, we're about the same as you guys here in Australia, equivalent of $6.17 USD/Gal.....I take the train whenever I need to get somewhere so its not really affecting me directly, though its having a bit of a flow on with respect to inflation.

spaceace12 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I used my dads truck to move this past couple days, full size dodge ram with a 318 in it. I put 35 dollars in at 4.06 a gallon. Went from 1/4 to 3/4, I will stick with my Malibu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpxtreme Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 The Rotten Robbie down the street from my house is $4.47 for regular. The Valero not too far away is $4.63 for regular. It's also funny reading posts from when this forum first started when people were freakin' out when gas was approaching $3.00 a gallon. Those were the days.
