fill 'er up?
Gas price in Saskatoon Saskatchewan today was $108.9 per litre. Or 93.65 cents US. Is it 3.78 litres per US gallon? That would be $3.53 US dollars per gallon. Glad I don't run on premium.

Re: fill 'er up?
wow, and I thought 2.69 a gallon was EXTREMELY high.... I bet it's going to end up something like 3.50 a gallon in the summer here... I'm about ready to go buy a really cheap, really cruddy 4 cylinder and get her runnin fine and prime, so I can get like 30mpg... instead of 10mpg with my trucks

Re: fill 'er up?
In oregon, they aren't able to gas up on there own, they have ppl getting out of the big house do it for you.
![]() I guess an ex con is more trustworthey than a model citizen. ![]() It was 3.02 to 3.15 in cali middle of last week, makes the 2.75 around the corner look quite a bit better. Guy across the street when and bought a newer S-10 to use instead of his C/1500... both late 90's early 2000's trucks. He said he did it for the gas mileage. He felt pretty stupid when i mentioned it'll take a WHOLE LOT OF CRUISIN to pay off the $7,000 S-10 in gas savings. seven grand will buy a butt load of gas. |

Re: fill 'er up?
ITs all BS this time for the price hike. they knew this ethnanol was going to have to be added for some time. Makes me want to park a truck across from conoco/phillips refinery with a BIG wood 8x6 sign thanking them for price hiking and then drive all over town with it sort of like they do around election time. What if there's another hurricane? $4.5 then? This SH*T has got to stop. Its getting ready to bring the country to its knees.
Okay, off my soap box.. |

Re: fill 'er up?
it wasn't BS every other time?
In 2000 (2 years after the gas went up and stayed up) Exxon/mobil's profits was 16 billion. Now, in 2005, Exxon/mobil's profits were 25.33 billion So if the crude oil price is going up, why are there profits going up? Becouse it is all BS I honestly stopped worrying about it. What can you do? Pretty much nothing. They say we are running out of crude.... that's not the reason They say it's becouse of the war/post war stuff.... that's not the reason They say it was a hurricane.... that's not the reason. They say it is the oil country's not giving us enough... That's not the reason. They know, that we will continue to buy gas, regardless of what it costs. Greed.

Re: fill 'er up?
I agree with you 100% they say its because crude costing more blah blah if that were the case their profits would be dropping not growing immensely

Re: fill 'er up?
i picked up a 1985 pontiac grand prix(clean as a whistle) for a couple hundred bucks and it's a 3.8 with 25 mpg. It should be ok for a while!

Re: fill 'er up?
It's runnin about $2.80 here. My truck sure likes to drink gas, that Quadrajet is gonna get rebuilt soon and maybe I'll drop a HEI distributor in. Dad says it won't help the gas mileage but I figure it would since it puts out way more spark. I have to fill the truck up about every 8 to 10 days depending on how much I cruise around. My welding machine is the same way when it comes to fuel. That big old 320CI Hercules straight 6 uses a lot of gas.
