Re: Gas Out
Gas went up hear in Santa Fe, NM from 3.29 to 3.39 overnight. I don't think it'll work. They got us and they know it. The way I look at it, is due to inflation gas will never go down below 2 bucks ever. Not sure what the election next year will do. The environmental dems might want to keep it high to drive everyone to buy a "green" vehicle and on the other hand the GOP will want to keep it high to keep their wallets fat. Either way I think we're screwed. This isn't the good old USA anymore. Only the rich and elite will be able to fill the tanks of their RV's, boats, hot rods and such with these outrageous prices. I can easily burn 60 bucks of gas in an afternoon out on my truck with premium and stepping on it!

Re: Gas Out
You know if everyone got their trucks, cars and all other vehicals running right and checked their tire psi and set it right that alone would do more for dropping gas prices than a one day boycote. Plus you would like driving your vehical better because it was running its best. We all know how one little problem that gets fixed makes the vehical seam that much better.

Re: Gas Out
buy it today it will only cost more the longer you wait. i have 5 vehicles here with over 10 gallons each. tomarrow i will get in my 69 with less than a quarter tank and fill it up on my way to work cause thats what i want to drive even if it costs over twice as much to drive. the homeowner where i'm working will pay more for the job they hire me to do because i pay more to run my truck we will all pay more for every thing because it must be shipped who cares just deal with it

Re: Gas Out
I know that prices have been high in other places like cali for a long time. Just a few years ago they were still below $2.00. And then it seemed like in just a few months it went from there to over $3.00 WTF!!!??????
Just a few months back it dropped to the low $1.90's. On another note.....Everytime I drive by one of those emissions vans on the side of the road that are measuring exhaust polution and probably noise, I hammer the living dog poo outta my '68. Put that in your pipe and smoke it! ![]() And yes, I drive the '68 daily and will as long as I can. Exhaust noise, lopy idle, unburnt fuel, 'small' oil leak.....ahhhhhhhhhh heaven. |

Re: Gas Out
the opnly real problem i have with the price of gas is when they post how many billions of profit they made..uh ,,hello, you could drop the price of gas and still make a profit...i know if i was to do a major over haul on my 454, along with new carb, i would still get less than 10 mpg..i will never sell it, i will drive it when i feel like it...and opec and the rest of them can kiss my butt..i hate 4 clyinders, i dont like small cars,,i want to be buried in a pine box, not a honda i got killed in..

Go ride a freaking bike to work, THAT will hurt them. As long as you still use the gas, you could pay them tomorrow, or even wait two days - you still use the product AND replace it. Almost every major news outlet is covering this right now - I saw it on CNN last night - it is FAKE. ![]()

Re: Gas Out
Like has already been said, economics 101 here - Supply and Demand = Capitalism.
When supply is greater than demand the price will go down. Until then, the energy companies will maximize profits like any other buisness would do.
