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:

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:

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

HA! 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: - Roach

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:

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.

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.

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:

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.

Yeah but you need to have a big car so that when it falls into the pot holes you can still find it..
