wesbed Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 The high price of gasoline has forced me to start listening to more AC/DC. Yeah, I don't get it either. Go figure. Quote
sidewinder Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 My boss at work (who drives a flash Audi TT coupe) has recently bought a pushbike. That is a sign of the times ! Wish too I could use my bike but with 25 miles each way and no good rail/bus service I'm stymied. Quote
GA Russell Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 I haven't read all 19 pages of this thread, so forgive me if this was posted before. A friend sent me a jpeg of a gas station price sign. The jpeg is too big to bring over here, so I'll just type what it said, and you can imagine how it looks. LOL 9/10 unleaded OMG 9/10 plus WTF 9/10 premium Quote
Robert J Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 Well...I must admit I've found a positive side to this gas crunch. The price has gotten so high now that my wife has actually agreed that my getting a motorcycle is a good idea. If you knew her, you'd know what a hardsell I was expecting... In fact, her last comment on the subject was "maybe I should get one too!" ← Just be careful if you decide to go to Newfoundland to stock up on Moosehead. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Wow; I didn't realize there were thirteen of us who had vehicles!! Quote
7/4 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 I just got back from the store, so I took the highway*, to check out the latest prices: 2.85, 2.90, 2.94, 2.99, 2.99 * I like the back roads, less road rage from other drivers. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Posted September 22, 2005 i haven't paid above $2.99 a gallon during the past 2 months Quote
Free For All Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 There are a lot of refineries in the vicinity of Galveston- if Rita causes a lot of damage to them we will no doubt see another spike in gas prices. Quote
BERIGAN Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah, more trouble ahead, it appears. The last few weekends, Atlanta has run out of either the 89 Octane, 93, or both at many stations.... Quote
DukeCity Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 Yeah, more trouble ahead, it appears. The last few weekends, Atlanta has run out of either the 89 Octane, 93, or both at many stations.... ← As I understand it, mid-grade (Octane ca. 89) is literally a mixture of regular (86ish) and super (92 or 93), drawing from the two tanks. So if they run out of either regular or super, then the mid-grade is out by default. Is this correct? Either way, things are looking a little bleak! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 I filled up both cars tonight since gas was at $2.57 and you can bet your britches that it will shoot up again after Rita. Quote

John Tapscott Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 (edited) Gee, I feel like a fool. All day yesterday, we kept hearing dire media reports that the price of gas would double today from its current high level of $1.03CDN per litre. In fact, a couple of rip-off gas stations jacked the price up near $2.00. Some people just can't resist taking advantage of others. Anyway there were long line-ups at the stations last night. At 10 PM I waited 20 minutes to fill my car at $1.03, then went home, took my wife's car and waited another 20 minutes to fill it. Finally got home for good at 11 PM. Guess what the price of gas is this morning? $1.03 per litre. No line-ups. Sometimes the media does us a disservice. Edited September 23, 2005 by John Tapscott Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 $3.15 a gallon for regular 87 octane in Lansing today. On my way to buy diapers, I passed two Citgos. One had the $3.15 price, the other had $2.94. I should've stopped, but I figured I read the sign wrong on the first one. Nope. Now everything in town is $3.15 a gallon. How does gas go up 20 cents in less than a few hours? This is insane. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Posted November 7, 2006 gas is gonna be .95 cents today, mfs need to get elected today Quote
