-Something just isn't right about this... Need4Speed 04-09-2005, 01:47 PM I just filled up one of our cars, with regular, 87 octane, and it costs me F'n 33.00 ... for a CAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cursin: :cursin: :rant: :rant: r1sharknose 04-09-2005, 02:16 PM With china's economy allowing their people to grow financially we may only be seeing the beginning of high oil prices.Beside the fact that a big OIL man is running things in the u.s. :skep: zx636r 04-09-2005, 02:17 PM if anyone remembers the mustang i posted and wanted to get it back on the road, well fcuk that it use to only get like 12-15 mpg and i had to run 93 octane, i wouldent be able to afford to drive it anywhere.
and my jeep wrangler aint much better on gas.
i now use my bike even if i have to drive liek 2 blocks. lol
somoen needs to get beat down over these gas prices. thirdgenlxi 04-09-2005, 04:51 PM Yea gas prices are getting crazy!! :cursin: I don't drive my car nearly as much as I used to (even though it does get nearly 30 mpg in town) cuz of the rising prices. I just take the bike everywhere unless the weather is bad, I'm going somewhere I don't want to leave the bike unattended, or I need to haul something or go shopping. Last time I filled the car up it cost $32.00... for an Accord!! Luckily now I only have to fill it up every couple weeks instead of every couple days like I used to.
I can't complain too much though... right now we're at about $2.55 for 93 ocatane.... talking to my friend in Los Angeles last night and he said it was $2.89 for 91, and his turbo Supra requires just that :nonod: twisty 04-09-2005, 05:53 PM I was looking @ buying a new sportscar but with the prices of gas I think Im gonna get a Scion. Gas Man 04-09-2005, 11:18 PM Blah Blah Blah... :sob: it cost me $32 to fill up!!! :wtf: you ain't got crap!!
It cost me $62 to fill up the other day!!!
Gas shot up from $2.19 to $2.43 in about 2 hours!!! It's a F'in crock! Don't even get me started!! Cause I know better!!
Heck I had to fill up twice today on my bike costing me $16!!! $2.61 a gal for Premium! Thank god even with beating on it.. the 9R blesses me with about 38mpg!! thirdgenlxi 04-09-2005, 11:25 PM Blah Blah Blah... :sob: it cost me $32 to fill up!!! :wtf: you ain't got crap!!

Yea yea yea, I know, you got it much worse :crazy: I'm just sayin, for a rather small car that's a pretty good chunk. I remember when I could fill this very car up for $12.... that was about 6 years ago and gas was $0.97/gal... I do miss those days Gas Man 04-09-2005, 11:31 PM I hear ya... I remember when it got to $0.97 and FREAKIN out... heck then I had a POS 4 cylinder that got like 45mpg and I was complaigning...
I think I'm doing things backwards...
Gas prices go up and I get a more gas guzzling vechicle... :wtf: is wrong with this picture??? :nonod: jeeps84 04-10-2005, 12:30 AM I don't want to hear crap from any of you.

We have a 31' RV to go to racetracks (Once you do this for a few years, it really makes life easier - trust me).
We get *7* miles per gallon. It has a 75 gallon tank.
Do the math :cry:

Yea
The higher it gets the less $$$ I make! :cry: Gas Man 04-10-2005, 09:37 AM Yeah I know!!! Can you start charging more or somin? jeeps84 04-10-2005, 10:13 AM Yeah I know!!! Can you start charging more or somin?
I already do.
Its called a fuel surcharge.
When the national averages stay up for so long.
= I loss part of that charge.
= less money in my pocket for the same job.
= :cursin: :cursin: :cursin: :cursin: Gas Man 04-10-2005, 05:11 PM I figured...but can't you just adjust your fuel surcharge so you don't get ape raped!! Mudpuppy 04-10-2005, 09:30 PM I figured...but can't you just adjust your fuel surcharge so you don't get ape raped!!
You can but companies get pissed about that **** and start looking elsewhere for more "competitive" pricing, etc. driving the prices down and everyone crazy.. Cheap bastards.. jeeps84 04-10-2005, 11:14 PM The only way to get around it is to raise the overall rate and like MP said I could loss my contract on renewal for being to high. Gas Man 04-11-2005, 09:25 AM :wtf: let's just go smack them like the bietches they are!!! Come on MP we got's work to do!!! :D jeeps84 04-12-2005, 12:11 AM :wtf: let's just go smack them like the bietches they are!!! Come on MP we got's work to do!!! :D
I'll help! :lol: DLIT 04-12-2005, 12:42 AM I just tow my truck around town with my bike cuz it's cheaper that way. I'll do it if I have to move big objects like a keg or something. 2FURYUS 04-12-2005, 12:59 AM I just tow my truck around town with my bike cuz it's cheaper that way.

Keg??? Just strap that on your back! :D DLIT 04-12-2005, 01:20 AM Better yet, I'll just fabricate a "keg helmet" so I can wear it on my head and have an endless flow of beer at my disposile. 2FURYUS 04-12-2005, 08:08 AM Better yet, I'll just fabricate a "keg helmet" so I can wear it on my head and have an endless flow of beer at my disposile.
lol, that'll work. Then you can just piss in the tank for more fuel. :cheers: Gas Man 04-12-2005, 08:40 AM Better yet, I'll just fabricate a "keg helmet" so I can wear it on my head and have an endless flow of beer at my disposile.
Well endless only to some... others just call that a BIG refill!!! :D Gas Man 04-27-2005, 07:44 PM Crude Price down again (http://finance.myway.com/ht/nw/bus/20050427/hlm_bus-l27379981.html)
And WHY aren't the prices at the pump coming down with the price of crude decreasing so much...along with the supplies increasing so much! :wtf: :rant: EIDROEDYR 04-27-2005, 09:12 PM I am getting to the point of where I hate driving my car. I drive my old school, heavy chevy, caprice classic, with a 305 and I stop the pump (89 octane) at $30.00. This weather is preventing me from utilizing my main mode of transportation during the non-winter months in addition to costing me more in fill-ups. This weather has to break soon otherwise I'll be borrowing my son's bmx. Gas Man 04-27-2005, 10:09 PM Yeah but you need to have a big car so that when it falls into the pot holes you can still find it.. | |
