If This Keeps Up I am Riding my Bicycle

[blessednxs65]

The cheapest Regular Unleaded in my neck of the woods is $3.48 per gallon. This, along with the rising cost of food, is cutting into my cigar fund!

3.48? That's just insane. But I suppose it won't be that long before we're paying that here, too.

 

[mnelson]

gas in my area is 3.17 for regular, and my truck gets around 14 mpg if i drive her easy......

$3.48 is INSANE. It's much less here, for sure.

I'm glad I bought a car with really good gas mileage.

$3.95 for diesel #2

the ironic part is, #2 is whats left over after making the gas.

I never understood why diesel is so much more than regular gas. There must be heavy demand for it throughout the world.

3.19 for unleaded up in the woods

 

[oldglory]

$2.98 for reg. here..........

Do you remember, for years-diesel was cheaper than the gas. Then, I think the oil companies got greedier (if there is such a thing for those cs'rs) and figured that they sold way more diesel, so why not charge more.

Think about all the trucks, ships, trains and ag equipment used. Hell I think even jet "a" fuel is a high grade diesel. Now take into account, most DOT vehicles that use #2 get around 6-8 miles to the gallon.

Supply and demand...........

So why is the economy all F'd up?

And washington stands by and watches, as the oil companies shove it right up our a@@, take our money and report their highest ever quarterly reports.

Sons a bitches, I get so pissed off just thinkin about how the average american taxpayer, just gets royally screwed. And the takers, just keep on takin. :cursing: :cursing:

How much do you think our fuel would be, if we didn't have to buy it from the other countries-that smile as their busting out the KY.

Plenty of oil here, but the tree hugger left manage put the kybosh on that.

aarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:gangfire: :gangfire: :gangfire: :gangfire: :gangfire:

Yea, I remember when diesel was way cheaper than gas. I think it started to creep up around a year ago. Good theory with all the heavy machinery/equipment.

 

[Headbanger]

I'm pissed, the Prius dropped to 49.1 mpg on the ride home.

 

[Black Dog]

3.25 here in Eastern Panhandle of WV. 3.05 to 3.15 just over the state line in VA.

 

[Halon]

Here in northern CO it's right around $3.00. A little lower or higher depending on where you're at.

In the Bay Area it is even pricier (San Jose $3.77, in San Francisco $3.82). My Jetta Turbo take Premium and it ranges from $3.75 - 3.91 here in Tracy.

 

[surfish1961]

We just popped past $3.00 a gallon here. I feel fortunate:sarcastic :scratchhe considering what the rest of the country is paying.

Leadfoot! :squinteye

Hey Steve, have you noticed a marked drop in mpg over the winter months? I have been seeing a 3-5 mpg drop over the past 3 winters. I think it's a combination of the oxygenated gas here in CA and the increased use of headlights, wipers and heaters.

You go Steve, good deal. Scooter cars don't fit my needs (towing/hauling).

My truck's a 3/4 ton 4wd, I'm figurin my odds of surviving a collision are pretty good compared to the gas pinchers. Another reason I don't ride street bikes anymore. California commuters are clueless.

OK, I feel better now-those $$ I spend on #2 are cheap insurance.:scratchhe

I can't believe the trucking industry takes it, without pitching a bitch. The oil companies are making more than ever, and their not regulated as far as boning the consumer. Where's the cap's-----------

pricks

 

[BamaRed]

3.05 here in Bama

 

[Angry Bill]

I have a Dodge Ram 1500 Quad with a Hemi.. God bless the gas companies.... hehe And my harley gets horrible gas mileage too, but thats because Its built for speed!!!.lol.

Not to be all doom and gloom, but it will likely exceed $4 nationwide in a month or two.
