lol pinche chef lol, later guys.Orale

 

Im in, i can borrow a kayak! But how to get it to the water with the tc...hmmm

So, i filled up with some $4.03 87 octane on thursday yum. The weird thing was another local gas station(Thrifty Gas aka junk) was charging 4.23 for regular the next day but everywhere else was still 4.03-4.09.

 

bs!!!but its bound to happen..when i i got my first car i paid 96 cents a gallon then it was 1.00 for a bit ...ooo the great times were change got ya a full tank.well over 11 years later gas went from 96-1.00 then to 4.00 bucks so not to bad ..cant wait for my son to ask me for gas money in 9 years when he starts to drive i think im going to start a gas fund bank account for him now

 

I don't even notice the price at the pump yet-- it's bad, bu it could be so much worse. I notice that the combination of ridiculous fuel/oil prices and an $8.00 minimum wage make everything cost more. Two combos and two kid's meals in the drive thru cost me like $23. Two gallons of milk is close to $6. UPS, FedEx, and USPS shipping all cost at least 20% more than this time last year.

The price at the pump is just the insult-- the fact that everything else costs considerably more than the same time last year is the real injury.

 

I say be happy you guys have the 1.5ltr engine and a light car. we get some of the best MPG around. Well the xA had the best non-hybrid mpg on the market. 41hwy 37city?

We have it easy if we take it easy when we drive. Yeah the gas prices SUCK!!!! But the value of our cars go UP as demand for MPG friendly cars keep going up. I am trying to stay optimistic.

 

for some reason my gas milege sucks! Maybe its because of all the hills I have to get over to get anywhere. lol.

 

lol, I did get allot better MPG on the way back from Vegas. It was mostly downhill

 

hell no. I got to vegas with a quarter to spare and the way home I wasted an entire tank! W/o the 18's too!

 

Heh, well I was on reserve when I got to the Scion United hill from a full tank We cruised the whole way. I still had about what 4 gallons left when I got home from Scion United from a full tank and I was going about 80mph the whole way. HUGE diff. I say. I am on 18's as well.

 

I drive my xB way too hard in the city I hate going into 'grandma' mode.

Is it possible to get crap mileage on a Prius? Cause that's probably what would happen to me.

 

You do know that gas stations rose the price mainly because it was Memorial Day weekend right? They always do that, but I highly doubt it will go back down to under $4.10 this week, if ever =\ Gas is the #1 reason why I rarely show up at any events or gatherings lately. I have a crapload of bills to pay off, working almost full time, full time student (paying myself) so.. events/shows/gathering are now on the back burner. Seriously this sucks. If only the wages would go up to offset these ridiculous prices we'd be ok =\

Oh, and the US produces enough oil to where we can rely on ourselves and not depend on outside sources of oil. We just choose to export for the monies.

 

in the valley, i saw gas being sold for $4.28. talk about price gouging.

 

lol, yes it's possible I have seen allot of them in my Mom's neighborhood punching it.

 

i remember when gas (87oct) was $0.85/gal. Im now seriously considering on buying a sportbike due to gas prices, commute, and cuz the permit is cheaping at school for a bike.

I checked my receipt from January 2nd. Gas was $3 something. Im thinking gas will reach 5-6 by Jan of 09. My prediction

 

Gas was at $4.15 regular this morning for the shop car. But dam it if I didn't just spend $4.11 a gallon on my little box a day ago. So why I haven't I heard of any gas companies having money problems or stock going down. I think I know why. They have control of the market and want to ____ off everyone. They know they can get away with it and not have to worry about anyone doing anything about it. They have control of the gas so we are stuck.


There was one president who actually took all the oil company owners, sat them down in a room and yelled at all of them for the high prices. That was Teddy Roosevelt, he actually got in the face of the owner of Standard Oil (Chevron) and told him to knock off the price gouging! Sure enough the prices stayed the same for a bit. Of course the president we have now wouldn't want to ____ off his biggest supporters. Big Oil. Whatever.

 

^ Amen to that "stylis"

 

not gonna happen with Bush. His family and the VP's family are Oil people.

 

yes it is ridiculous here in the valley, i filled up this morning for $4.19 on 87 octane. i remember when i got the car i could fill it from almost empty to full with $30 and not it hits $40 and it's not even near the full line i stopped driving my car out much, instead i take my moms sentra to get those extra miles

 

$40 to fill up a Gen1 xB is murder.

 

I saw an Arco today in Palmdale with diesel at $5.15.
I member my F150 I filled up for .89 once. That was GREAT.

I feel all of you talking about what shows to do. I'm trying get the wife to go to Scion Independence show in Az but I don't know... She keeps bring up gas.
