Life is hard to go on.... nowadays...:2 cents:
When the price of gas increase, transportation cost will increase; so price of raw material will increase, finally price of finished goods increase too. :(
Do know when my boss will increase my salary like the price of gas.... :)

What car takes premium only?

Boo fucking hoo !

Check out the ass hat prices we have to pay in the UK ! We'd fucking give our right testicles to get fuel as cheap as you do !

Any high compression or forced induction car requires premium. All Porsches, Subaru WRX's, Dodge SRT's, Corvettes, etc. I have a car that takes only 116-118 octane @ $12/gallon. And I gotta buy it in 55 gallon drums at a time. :-/

America will be fine. There's 2 solutions.

4$ in San DIego~~~

Maybe I should have worded the question, what car do you own that takes premium only?

I would be quite surprised if he owned any of the cars you listed.

You guys have no idea how good you have it, try living in the UK for 1 year and you'll go back to the USA very happy. Simple things like a pack of chicken (enough for two people meal) has went up by $1 in the last 3 weeks. Milk and Bread is up over 25%. As for Gas prices here, well lets just say if you fill up your truck for $100 thats pretty damn good. I drive a bmw Z4 2 litre engine and it costs me that to fill it up. You can hardly complain at paying that for a gas guzzling truck!

Exactly...


Anyway... here's the short version: the value of the dollar is the lowest it has been in many many many many years and in order for the oil companies to keep making a shitloads of money they just raise the prices. But it doesn't stop there. Each time there has been an accident related to the oil companies they use that as an excuse to raise the price again. They are sucking us dry at the moment.

We found a great solution. We drive less.

I'm looking at a new boat with two 220 horsepower engines in it at the moment. It will be expensive to go on vacation in that big fellow... so I'm not buying it anyway.

Many Americans can not really drive less often. Serious urban sprawl, lack of any decent public transportation, and well many people drive 60 to 120 miles to work. That does not even take into account food transportation and such. Getting something from West Coast to East Coast is not exactly cheap on the gas, specially when refrigerated trucks are involved, and then the damn food itself is wrapped in oil byproducts.

You know they make Foxnews sound like dangerous tree hugging lefties? :1orglaugh

News World Communications, Inc. is a media corporation described by the Colombia Journalism Review as "the media arm of Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church." It is widely believed that Moon has funded it at a loss to provide a political voice for the neoconservative wing of the Republican Party and the Church. :helpme

In South Jersey it was under a buck a gallon during much of that time.

BTW how was it that big oil exec's came up with peak oil hitting at roughly april of 08?
Guess it was a long range conspiracy set years ago, just like same prediction for peak US oil in the 70's.

They don't need to drive around in those gas guzzling trucks they call people carriers. Driving on the 5 or 10 up to LA from OC and you soon see where the problem is. As for all those open back trucks and four wheel drives that look like they have never seen a field, well.

Half your fuel bill, drive a more economical car.

I American's rode bicycles, there wouldn't be so many unhealthy overweight ones. :1orglaugh

Last weekend I filled up My BMW x5 which has quite a big tank. Cost me £92 (approx $185)

Now that hurts!

exactly :2 cents:

Flippin pocket change to a man like you. LOL

Why webmasters complain about gas prices I will never know...

I havent driven in days LOL my vehicle gets very little use compared to my family who fill up twice a week, a tank of gas last me all month, maybe more :)

Glad I got out of LA though, sitting in traffic takes up more gas than I use down here running to the bank, grocery, and ATm if I need cash...

Probably trying to make us think they don't work in the living room. :1orglaugh

101 Fucked Up Gas Prices

shit, I wish i did, if i worked in the living room, i might actually use my HDTV, 6 months old and been used maybe 20 times, never seen a single tv show on it, only DVDs LOL... i keep everything (business related) in the office (locked door) after getting out of the apt lifestyle...

now with a house if im not in the office, I am in the yard in the garden... lots of vegetables this year, organic vegetable gardening is my new hobby...... weird moving from LA-living to the South and relaxing and living the outdoor life a little while having the internet pay for your home :)

gas prices? They dont bother me anymore, gas is much cheaper down here than in California

We gotta get up one day man. Glad you're getting into the "Southern Groove". Planting some organics this weekend myself with the missus. :thumbsup

I will agree that most do not need gas guzzling trucks. I also do not live in Southern Cali, I live on opposite side of state right under Oregon. Very different demographic and many trucks around here do see dirt and even snow. Other big differences is wages suck in comparison to down south, with about only thing being cheaper is actual housing.

Personally I wish I could just get a more economical car. I already had to add some 14k in additional equipment just to drive my vehicle and that is above the cost at dealership. I am sort of stuck with dealing with a van like it or not. My days of using a car are long gone as I am just to old for that much bending and then having zero room to store anything beyond my chair and maybe 1 passenger.

Then we also have one full size truck that is rarely driven, then some smaller trucks that are driven about 60 miles per day each on average with them pulling heavy loads on trailers. Then add in about 14 pieces of mostly 2 cycle engine equipment that is ran daily with about 3 hours usage for each of them. Passing so much onto customers is possible, yet we are screwed on most of our commercial accounts this year that were bid mid last year. They all pay a fixed yearly rate and that rate was set about a year ago.

I paid over $100 to fill up my Tundra the other day with regular unleaded. Luckily I only drive a few times a month.

gas prices are up like 15 cents since 4 days ago when i filled up previously ... 30 cents off 4 dollars!

Soon.. my engine that runs on urine shall be complete! Just a couple more test runs... I don't know how many more gallons of Gatorade I can drink...

It cost me almost $15 to fill up my bike the other day.

That's not bad at all. How many miled do you get out of a full tank on your hog? just curious.

Yesterday it took over $14 bucks to 2/3rds fill my 5-gallon can for the lawnmower (@ $1.20/litre). :Oh crap

The dude at the gas station says, "Don't you have a hybrid lawnmower?"

Evidently he's appearing in the Starlight Lounge doing stand-up all week.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
Try the veal

Yeah I just spent 100 dollars too on my truck. It sucks

Wait till you discover the price of poo!

Gas costs less than bottled water or beer.

Yippie, I get water from my faucet and I do not go through that many gallons of beer a week. I am fairly certain I do not even go through a gallon of beer a month.
