screw getting sponsored by smartwax and weapon r...

let's get sponsored by shell

 

haha. i was just having this conversation with my wife how shows should start raffling off gas cards!!

 

Gas Cards FTW!!!

 

Actually the profit margins of gas companies are 7% which is not high by any means. You just hear the high profits because it is one of the few things that people have to buy to live (work, school, food, etc.). Think about it, there are some software companies with huge profit margins but no one complains about the money they make from people buying (no pirating!) their software. If anything, its the individual gas station owners helping the oil companies gouge us.

 

gah I need to fill my tank up tomorrow >.< At least I can just go to Costco and fill up haha

 

 

Regular at Costco hasn't broken 4 dollars yet . Which I'm glad because it seems like everywhere is about 4 dollars now

 

So ExxonMobil spent $572 billion last year to make their $40 billion profit (which would mean their gross sales well exceeded $610 billion)? Let's accept that as true. They still made more money than the GDP of about 25 countries.

 

man the costcos in my area are wack because they don't have gas stations and alot of people talk about how cheap it is there

 

Ahh that sucks. I guess it depends on the Costco.

 

i got 2 that are like 7 mins away from me and the ones with a gas station are over an hour away

 

there a chevron by my house last night (5/26) gas was 3.99 today (5/27) went up to 4.07 i live in buena park in o.c. this is crazy blasphemy i tell u!

 

Damn you Oil Companies...Up here in Sac it is currently $4.20 a gallon....that is for 87 octane....its complete and utter bullsh** I hate filling up on gas. so for the moment I went back to stock.

 

Pushing past 4 dollars a gallon. How high must it go before no more traffic jams or rush hour. Imagain it, only those intelligent enough to find a job long enough to collect unemployment will be able to aford gas. NO longer will we be cursed by brain dead morons slowing down where they should be hamer down. I long for the day when I can drive the costal highway alone and unhindered.

In the near future we will save up for cruises instead of performance. But those will be some sweet cruises with no one on the road but a couple houndred scions, like something out of a movie or a comercial?

Ya F all that I just want to drive.

 

'The Good Ole Days'

The Good News:
I remember when gas was .28 a gal for Regular.

The Bad News:
The Mininum Wage was $1.65 an hour.

Everything is Relative.

MR LUV

 

that is true mr. luv. with high prices comes higher wages. california didn't raise their minimum wage to 8.50 for nothing

 

hahaha true

 

No, it used to be relative. Then, an hour's labour would buy you about 5.5 gallons of gas-- you could fill a tank by working 2 hours. Now, an hour gets you two gallons. When you get to your soul-sucking minimum wage job on Monday morning, the first 6 hours are just to pay for the week's gasoline.

That's messed up.

 

Regular was $3.83 this morning.
91 was $4.03

Comparing to Shell right down the street
Regular $4.17
V-Power(91) $4.37

 

lol, Chris man you must be kicking yourself though What's you MPG with that EVO X.....?
