That is funny as all hell don't be surprised if the goverment does bail them out.
Last quarter was there biggest quarterly profit ever and the prices were lowest in a year.Just be prepared for another gas hike.

anyone have an address?
 
i want to send a get well soon card

BatesBCheatin 11-13-2008 06:24 PM

Never did I think I would see sub $2.00 prices again in my life! I guess this is the one positive in a failing economy. OPEC meets at the end of the month so enjoy it while it lasts.

Zeno 11-13-2008 07:21 PM

what's the point ?.....even if it goes to $0.50 a gallon ,the way construction is going, there wont be enough dough to fill the truck.

Rob Rockcrawler 11-13-2008 07:57 PM

I also didnt think i would see it below 2.00 again.

piemma 11-14-2008 03:17 AM

Th F***ing Sunoco station in Harrisville RI is still $2.35 a gallon. He is the only gas station for miles in any direction so he constantly gouges. I would run out of gas before I buy from this jerk.

ilovetwofish 11-14-2008 03:38 AM

AHOLE there is one in every town.

Crafty Angler 11-14-2008 08:51 AM

In high school my folks had a gold '63 Impala - bro, I was pimpin' driving that to the Block (that's West Broadway for you youngsters) to find someone to buy for us on Friday night -

Yup, let's see - 2 sixers of Bud, pint of Tango, a coupla GIQ's - coupla bucks for gas....

Man, I wish I had that car today - I'd be low-ridin' all over town, my main - with rod racks on it, too... :rotflmao:

NIB 11-14-2008 09:06 AM

1.86 a gal here in New Jersey Jets country..:laugha::wave:
Am I supposed to be happy.Can some one tell me how it can go down 120 percent in three months.
The price of fuel surcharge on everything shipped by land is still intact.I have not seen anything that I buy go down in price yet..They got what they wanted out of this..

Saltheart 11-14-2008 09:08 AM

I remember Sunoco economy (octane 1 below regular grade) at 17 cents per gallon! :)

true. Our hall hasn't had a call for a carpenter in over a week. We have 140 guys on the bench out a membership of 430. I've been out for going on 7 weeks now.

Things don't look good at all around here, constructionwise.
