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.

$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.

"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.

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.

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.
