gas
 

1.91 for 87 octane in salem today ...... 2.10 for 91 octane

Here in kelowna B.C. it's 87 cents per litre that's 3.91 per gallon that sucks and more than likely the oil comes out of the ground from here. I had a thought if the oil in the ground belong to the goverment which is the people, why are we paying almost 4 bucks a gallon to pump it out of the ground

Every station has gone to at least 203 this week , someone said CostCo was still under 2 bucks but haven't been by there.:mad:
:burnout:

:flag: :bowtie: :canada:

we're at 2 bucks for the cheap stuff up to 2.50 in places for good stuff.CRAZY

It is 2.15 in SF!

boycott gas
 

crazy indeed ......who should we blame ..... i think a boycott's in order....

I agree boycott, but how long do have to stop driving our rigs, man that would hurt.

the key to a good boycott is organization and numbers ..... get the word out ...have people dedicate themselves to driving not at all or only when completely nessasary ...... people seem to forget that they have the power NOT THESE HUGE OIL COMPANIES !!!!!

We got caught in a boycott whilst on holiday in France two years ago. Farmers blockaded all the oil depots and wouldn't let any trucks in or out. It was chaos with no fuel anywhere, so made for an interesting holiday, especially as the house we had rented used a generator for power and lights! It ended in time for us to drive home, and as we arrived back there was the same thing going on in the UK! We limped home with a tankfull of sludge from a french gas station giving us the occasional hiccups and stopping wherever we could find fuel.

The French government caved in and reduced the tax on diesel and petrol, the British government said *** you and ignored the chaos completely...go figure! direct action sometimes works, but the problem in the UK is 85% of fuel price is tax so it's the government not the oil companies making the money.

Im paying $2.14 a gallon for the cheep stuff in san jose. CA
$2.44 for for the good stuff.

guess i'l be driving the S-10 for a while 1.53 here, discounted at Sam's for 1.47, the tahoe sits most of the time and is waiting on a escalade front clip and the 20's i recently bought, but i only drive the blazer once in a while, the gto rarely, and the gmc don't run .....yet. i can't feed em all, but they're all paid for.

Cheap stuff & Good stuff
 

By the way, what's this talk about cheap and good stuff?
We in the Netherlands have 3 different kinds of gasoline:
95 octane (Unleaded)
98 octane (Unleaded)
98 octane (Leaded, well not really lead, but that stuff which is supposed to be good for the enviroment)
(Shell also sells stuff that's called ' Pura', I believe that's also 95 octane.)
Now my truck will not run on 95 octane, I will have to go with 98.
(Normally I run on LPG, which is a lot cheaper)
How come you guys can run the trucks on 91 or even 87 octane?

Cya,

here it is a between 1.56 -163 for the cheap stuff down here in north carolina

Edmond,they must calculate the octain different.At our Sunoco here in south east Pa.,87 is economy,89is regular,91 is mid, 93 premium,94 ultra and 100gt racing.My suburban runs good on 89,which is mid-grade at other stations.My blazer needs 91.

i'm in Arizona and the prices here are 1.89 a gallon for normal, so be happy folks :)

$1.93 for the cheap stuff here. The hell of it is there are three refieries in town so the shipping should be low and we are surrounded by the oil fields so that should also be cheaper for us in an oil town. go figure joker
