What's the price of gas where you live?
Quote: ontariodealernever thought I would see $1 a litre again.
90.4 in central Alberta today
Years ago She liked driving my old chevy sidestep(I know Ill hear it from the Ford people, but I don't discriminate) , I didn't like her to, but would sometimes let her.
She found a really good price on gas while driving the truck (to good to be true) and decided she'd top it off at a great price.
Immediately after she got gas it started bogging out.
After her further explaining how she couldn't really fit the nozzle in properly, she went in and asked why because she knows not to add diesel fuel. Some dumb ass guy volunteered to helped her. Assuming because it was an old truck it was just designed different, he found a way to cram the nozzle in and hold back the fume blocker with his fingers and managed to get the gas in.
I went back to the gas station with her and told her to show me the pump. Turns out it was that E85 crap he put in.
Luckily It was deluded with a half of take of unleaded. I was able to siphon most of it out and add unleaded back.
The transmission went out soon after. Obviously that had nothing to do with the gas, but she doesn't really know that. I can bring it up when shes annoyingly trying to save 5 cents on gas .
It's not always good to be cheap and Girls shouldn't drive trucks anyways. (Hush Bab's)
Quote: DRichI am not one that searches out for cheap gas and usually stop where ever is convenient for me. Last week I stopped and filled up and the price was $2.85. Five minutes later I pass a station that was $2.59. I have never seen that big a difference within one mile of each other.
I'll sometimes see that at an airport exit vs. the next exit 1 mile up the road. They love to gouge the rental car returners.
The only other time I saw something like this was a few years back at an exit off of I-95 somewhere in the middle of FL. The one gas station on the west side of the interchange was $0.25 more expensive than the 2 or 3 stations on the east side of the highway.
OT, $2.49 in NorthEast FL.
It's a full $0.50 more on the edge of the rez. I suppose they take advantage of their proximity to white land, whereas deep rez uses low prices to try to bring them in. It's still around $3.15 in NY.
I filled my truck with $52. A new record low.
Still kind of sad that we get excited when it nears $3. I still remember bitching when it rose to a whopping $1.29 =(
I bitched when it rose to $.29 :-)Quote: FaceI still remember bitching when it rose to a whopping $1.29 =(
the mid 4 dollar range really ticks me offQuote: Face$2.48, gotta love the rez =)

When I moved to Calif in 1976, gas was .76 and
I almost swallowed my tongue. It was .47 in MI,
a 30 cent difference was a lot 40 years ago.

You could get a Hershey bar, 3 quarts of oil, and a lb. of ground beef for $0.30!
And you could get them all at Montgomery Ward ;)
But you are in GR it's fifteen cents more expensive up there.Quote: EvenBob$2.29 in W MI. A month ago they were
lined up for $2.85, now nobody even
cares, all their tanks are full.

I buy it when I go to the casino near Kzoo,
it's always cheaper the closer you get to the
IN border. 2.25 today.
it puts 1 billion dollars in the pockets
of the American people. And it's showing
in better than expected retail Xmas sales.
It's killing the Russian economy. It's the only
export they make a real profit on, that and
cavier. And vodka.They manufacture products,
but the quality is so crappy they can't export
them.
You forgot Russian women. They're not too bad.Quote: EvenBobFor every penny the gas price drops,

Some guys love Going to Thailand For chicks(and a few brought some back) I used to get invited, but I wasn't interested . If I was in the market for such shenanigans, Thailand would be the last place I'd go.

I know a guy who married a Thai woman.
He never let her learn to speak English so
she was totally dependent on him. She
was almost like his slave. Didn't drive,
had no friends, pretty weird.

It's called having a conversation. Someone mentions something and someone else comments. It happens in every thread. What's weird about it?

Quote: mickeycrimmDown to about $2.74 in. Montana from a high of about $3.60.
Down to $2.60 since I posted this. I just read an article where the price drop has caused a big spike in Hummer and other gas guzzler sales. There are a lot of dumb selfish people in the world. This will only serve to drive prices back up.

The prices are down because production is up
and demand is down worldwide, it has nothing
to do with a few vehicles. Modern technology,
especially in the US, is finally keeping up with
and exceeding demand. It's really that simple.

Quote: beachbumbabs$2.48 on the Space Coast of Florida. Man, Zuga, I thought you were close enough to Russian production and the Mideast that you wouldn't be paying double what we are.
well between the corrupt Gov, tycoons and Russian Gazprom who owns 51% of our national oil company ( NIS ) I am surprised it is not even higher Lol

God bless capitalism, supply and demand. Works
everywhere it's tried.
Kalamazoo. Insane,
Customers stick their gas caps in the nozzle handle to pump hands free but that is illegal. Stations will turn the pump off if they see it and threaten to charge for the cleanup of any spills caused by it.
There now remains one state that still outlaws these hands free latches. Does anyone know which one?

That was a good stab, RS!

Obvious stab is obvious.
I commit crimes daily here. I can't even camp out on my own property for an extended period of time without a permit. If the question is stupid laws, the answer is always NY.
OT, got some rez gas for $2.18. This boon is equal to a payroll raise of nearly a dollar an hour. I dunno who's getting screwed by these low prices, I'm just glad that, finally, it's not me.

The orig oil seller of course. The Saudis
and the Russians and US suppliers, Venezuala
is really hurting. Everybody else up the
chain just adjusts for it, the supplier cannot.
$1.91 here today.
