Already $2.99 for premium at some stations, barrel price is $70+ again:shocked: :mad: :wall:

Heard on the news gas hit record high today per barrel and will go higher. Time to sell the pickup and look for a Jeep or something.

The Sand Sled is now for sale... I will get something else - full size - for towing and beech creeping but I am wasting miles on the truck doing 80-90 miles round trip per day just commuting for work...

AD in the Classifieds shortly...

BTW - two things I have done which improve mileage, drive 65-70 on the hwy instead of 70-80 - worth 2 mpg on average, and the other thing was to get a Scan Guage (http://www.scangage.com/ ) which allows me to watch my instantaneous mileage and drive more efficiently... Between the two I can push into the high teens on the highway...

Yer low:poke:

Here in Jersey whee we have low fuel taxes the price at the pump is $2.67. That is for no name gas pumped by guys that can't speak english. The only thing they do well is fill out deposit slips for the local bank!!!

I'm gettin pissed too now....:wall:

With oil at over $70 bl now, Im guessing this is just the excuse they need to raise the prices to a new high.
My guess is $3.49 by Mem day, and $3.89+ by July4.We may even see over $4.
Biodiesel is looking better & better every day.

Up:af: to $3.05 today

2.89 self serve here in Cumberland. I expect $3.50 by Mem Day.

I get 18 miles per gallon in my Blazer. Burn about 1000 gallons per year. My truck payment is $200 per month. A new hybrid car would be free based on the gas savings. In fact the car will be free and I'd still pocket some money per year.

you went and bought a Ford when you already had a Chevy that got good mileage :huh:
take the wifey's car to work:think:

it's 2.79 here in Middleboro so I filled up at 2.69 in Easton today, and of course the pump stops at 75 bucks because I used my card at the pump:fishslap: didn't even fill it up:(

Everything is more reasonable in Easton.

Ya well sunoco was the station that was 2.79 in Middleboro, the sunoco in Easton was only a penny cheaper at 2.78
the Mobil was 2.69

75 bucks to not even fill up hurts.

Last summer I remember putting 100 dollars in once when I was on fumes, ONCE!:fishslap:

Easton is full of yuppies:p

$2.69 today at the Hess next to Mike's shop--cheapest in the area.

$3 by Memorial Day? Try by April 30. It's been going up at least a dime a week since early March, and there are stations that are already in the mid-$2.80s.

In what other industry does a price increase in the raw material it's made from, that hasn't even been delivered yet, result in an instantaneous price hike?

Not to get too political, but what other industry has the leader of the free world making broad idiological challenges to demand radical change among the primary supply base.

Can anyone say hedge fund?

-spence

time to put rod racks on my super beetle :hihi::sled:

the trick is to
 

get more miles to the gallon....

don't grab yet another brownie....:hihi:

and leave the spare tire at home.

Morning of errands... N. Eastham, to South Chatham, gas prices were all over the place, cheapest was 2.75, most were 2.81, saw one at 2.89, and :eek: one at 2.97 :eek:
cumby's in Orleans was 2.79 when I went by at 9:30, 2.81 twenty minutes later :doh:
all mixed up :as:

Paid $2.69 this morning....thought I died and went to heaven!:hihi:

Saw 2.99.9 today..WTF

premium $3.09, up .10 in 2 days:conf:

Yep, just paid 3.08 to tank up the buggy...the high compression engine requires Super :poke:

-spence

I'm going to revise my estimate of April 30.

I say $3 a gallon for unleaded regular by this weekend--up another 7 cents today.

WTF is with this? It was 2.87 in Newport.

I am thinking of giving up working in order to save money on gas!:fishslap:

$3.79 by Mem day. After that you will see rationing or possibly the govt step in but I doubt that these bloated idiots have any intention of not letting their buddies stick it to the American public. These guys are testing the limits of the higher end of what people are willing to pay.

i love expensive gas.. Keeps out the riff raff :hihi:

then how do you explain this ?

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/sto...p-346997c.html

I was wrong when I first guessed $4, I am changing my guess to $6/gal by july 4.

Thanks by the way, to whoever posted this link originally.

Its not funny anymore. Im dusting off the moped.

The SandSled is for Sale: http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...ad.php?t=30873

(But when it sells, I will buy an econocar for work and an older 4x4 for play)

"As New Yorkers lashed out against the skyrocketing fuel prices yesterday, Sen. Chuck Schumer called for an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission to ensure that rising gas prices are not a result of corporate greed."


And just like last year they'll make a big dog and pony show and say the American public isn't being screwed over. Then the rates will go up some more while we watch these fat bloatbags take home $400 million cuz they cut a freakin hangnail off right.

Whats a moped?:hihi:

Amazing and we thought marina prices were bad last year.
I tremble everytime I go to the station to fill up. 2.85 at the pump in Mansfield today.
I am trying to get my office switched to BOS so I can take the train.

Bill

i had a cool moped
 

it was called a mobat....and it did 35 miles per hour

i remember one summer and get this NEBE...:heybaby:

i was livin way up in the mountains and was workin on my VW bug

so i split the motor case and needed to have it line -bored ok

but i had no transportation to get it there... so being the radical

wild child that i was at the time i decided to transport it via moped all the way to the machine shop and i strapped that sucker down to my seat and headed down the mountain.

it was a strange lookin setup i can assure you what with the head bolts stickin way out on either side.... and i had to be careful or i'd wipe out and wreck everything including myself because of the weight..... But....i made it ...it took me an hour...but i got it there!
it was a one way trip though...no way to drive it on the back of a moped up hills that steep.
