GAS PRICES!!! (CHEAP GAS THREAD)

[RIROCKHOUND]

Ok, so since I just paid 225 in 'gansett for regular I figured I;d start a thread on cheap gas, as I know people are starting to fill boats up and get ready for spring.. CHeapest I have seen the last few days:

Hess, on 1A, in North Kingstown just before the Jamestown Bridge (where Heffies used to be) 207.9 for regular... Anyone else find cheap petrol?

[cheferson]

Just went up $.07 at the hess there rock its like 2.14 now.

[Karl F]

[Hooper]

Going to be doing a lot of fishing in the river this summer...

[fishaholic18]

This is exactly what they want.
They want us to think that $2 + a gallon is cheap! eessed:

Tell the ragheads to go skrew themselves.

Cut back your consumption. Take mass transit if you drive.

Car pool with a friend to the beach.

Isnt this about what we were paying last year just about all summer. I made atleast 3 trips to the cape a week last summer and the gas station at the sagamore bridge, mainland side was always about 2.12-2.22 a gallon. For some reason if ya went to M&D's yoiu could save 20 cents or so a gallon. The real pisser is that i dont make a lot of cash but will still make two trips a week to either the canal or soco, and if its gunna cost me 35 bucks round trip it just gets put on the credit card. The is always a lot of talk about the mounting debt our country has, like 8K credit card debt per american, if gas one of the biggest comodities was more affordable i bet the debt would atleast level off a bit, and if plugs didnt cost 20 bucks .

[fishweewee]

Nope, higher.

Unleaded on average is expected to hit $2.30 - $2.50 per gallon by Memorial Day, assuming consumption doesn't change.

I just read (the now infamous) Goldman Sachs energy report that said that under certain circumstances, crude could hit $105 per barrel (double where it is now).

$105/bbl = $5.00 for a gallon of unleaded!

I'm serious about the fishing car pooling thing (kinda like splitting gas for an outing on a friend's boat).

Think maybe its time to start burning french-fry oil?

[fishweewee]

Some engines don't care what gets burned - a carbon chain is a carbon chain!

Used fryolator restaurant grease is often collected for re-use as a component of livestock feed (it can't be flushed down the sewer - plays havoc with the wastewater treatment plant).

This is weird, but I just saw an ad in a nearby town advertising "soy fuel" for heating oil burners. This alternative fuel stuff is really starting to take hold.

Those were Memorial Day prices last year. So far this year we are 25-35 cents higher per gallon than THIS time last year... Yes, Cesspoo, errr, Carpooling....

My favorite place to buy gas is the Mobil station at the NY end of the Merit Parkway. Always the cheapest NOT!!!!

I am always scanning for low prices, but in most cases driving out of my way for cheap gas uses up the 20-60 cents I'll save.

Funny how most people have no problem going out for beers, and spending 2.50-5.00 per ber for 5 or 6 beers.....

Yeah, but the problem with that logic is that you're not consuming 15-20 gallons of beer every week. At least I hope you're not.

It's all relative, wants & needs......

WHERE TO BUY YOUR GAS,

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW.

READ ON--



Why didn't George W. think of this?


Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it.

It might even be good for us!


The Saudis are boycotting American goods.

We should return the favor.

An interesting thought it to boycott their GAS.

Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into
the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't
import their oil from the Saudis.

Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I
fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to
kill me, my family, and my friends.


I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies
are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle
Eastern oil :

Shell............................. 205,742,000 barrels
C hevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels
Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels

If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18
BILLION!

Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern
oil:

Citgo.......................0 barrels
Sunoco...................0 barrels
Conoco...................0 barrels
Sinclair....................0 barrels
BP/Phillips..............0 barrels
Hess........................0 barrels ARC0.0 barrels


All of this information is available from the Department of Energy
and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much
they are importing.
