paid almost $50 dllars for gas for the crown vick, $2.93 9/10 for a gallon, why are they still putting up the 9/10 with today's prices, when gas was $.35 i can understand, but now ,PLEASE, CUT THE BALONEY! RANT OVER. :angry2:
 
i don't even wanna say what it costs to fill my 3/4 ton pickup!

OUCH! And the say prices may go up again due to Katrina hitting the coast... bastids!
 
I haven't paid for fuel in 3 yrs :cool: for my Toyota Highlander, I am FORTUNATE to have a company gas card (cost 48 bucks to fill). I have to pay for gas when i go on vacation and on weekends, but I will never biatch about that. :thumbs:
 
Cadillac Escalade and it cost me $65.-70.00 to fill. Glad the company pays for it. But, sh*t ! I own the company. So I am paying for it anyway !!!! :angry2:
 
While I was driving back to California last week, I paid $94.50 to fill up my Yukon XLT @ $2.99 a gallon.

Back here it's still costing me roughly $75-80 bucks.
 
...my diesel VW TDI was pretty cool until diesel prices headed through the roof. Good thing the car gets 40+ MPG or it wouldn't be much of an 'economy' car.... :angry2:
 
Costco... Paid 35 to fill up my Jetta VR6... I didnt know this, but the price of gas varies even between different Costcos in LA.


****Bush needs to release some of the strategic petroleum reserve to offset the increase in prices.... otherwise, we're going to be looking at some nice steady consumer price index increases as well as inflationary pressures****

That is just for emergencies, though I did hear he is considering releasing some to help the companies operating in the hurricane path.

I guess you can say right now we are paying the price of being Americans. If you have been on the interstates, it is laughable the amount people driving huge autos and being the only occupant in the vehicle.

Consumers are finally are stepping away from the selfish reasons of buying autos and considering more reasonable ones. IMHO the government should stepped in years ago and taxed the living hell out of large autos that were not used for commercial purposes. We are way too damn reliant on petroleum for other uses to waste so much on our huge ass autos.
 
Dennis Leary says it best.... your worrying about the price of a gallon of gas, when you spend $80 on a gallon of mochaccino.

I couldn't agree more. Funny about people complaining about gas prices when they drive huge SUV's. You didn't know they are bad on gas and that gas prices go up?
 
The strategic reserves are just a drop in the bucket. There may be a short term decrease in prices but in the long term there will be little impact. Our problem is a problem with refining capacities being maxed out at 98% and no new refineries coming on line or even being built.
