[opponheimer]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12400801/

Nothing any of us likes to hear, but we all knew it was coming.. I think pretty soon, gas for $2.xx will be a thing of the past.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

gas under $3 has been a thing of the past for a long time in so cal!

[180sx Fan]

Just filled up today so hopefully it was a worthwile decision.
This sucks though

[opponheimer]

It was $2.74 last week.. Today I got it for $3.02 at mid-day

[Rob's S14]

I so want to buy a hybrid for a dd now. I get good mileage anyways, but 26-30 can't even compete with 50-60mpg.

[S13Zilvia_fan]

A Prius is tarting to look good now :(

[JesusFreakDrifter]

it gonna be like i am legend gas for like 6.95. and a bicycle has always looked good to me

[90KAcoupe]

i wish we had e85 out here or e100 cause i would swap my 240 to it. and never go back to gas.

[cc4usmc]

Thanks Bush.

[SimpleSexy180]

It was $2.74 last week.. Today I got it for $3.02 at mid-day

wow i would have LOVED to pay 2.74

i havent seen that in years.

[Rob's S14]

2.74 would be sweet. I just filled up today and it was like 3.40 freakin $50+ to fill up.

[opponheimer]

I go cheap gas. Kroger 93 octane using membership card

[azndoc]

Shit...... 10 years ago when I first started driving that shit was $1.25 a gallon. Took like less than $20 to fill up every two weeks.

Now it's like $60 91 octane every fucking week.

I'm actually thinking of selling the z and buying a honda fit or something.

Gas is never getting cheaper.

[qt_240]

just paid $3.39 for 93 octane... *Sigh* it was a 22 gallon tank..

[ESmorz]

A Prius is tarting to look good now :(

Not when you need a little bit of horsepower...

I drive a Civic Hybrid as a dd and it sucks, except for the fuel economy.

[projekt_s13]

lol, you guys have had it good, now its time to catch up with california.

I filled up yesterday 91 octane 3.70 a gallon.

[eastcoastS14]

that 600rr is lookin pretty good right now

[DALAZ_68]

gas under $3 has been a thing of the past for a long time in so cal!

yup :-/:-/:-/

even in whittier the cheapest is now 3.20

it used to be 2.70 there :ughd:

[kdashy]

Shit...... 10 years ago when I first started driving that shit was $1.25 a gallon. Took like less than $20 to fill up every two weeks

10 years ago? Gas was 99 cents a gallon when I was a Junior in high school around 7 years ago.

[Drunk Bastard]

I gotta stop driving my FC. Put $15 in my tank. Went to work and back twice (2 exits away) and it's already gone. I think thats less than 10mpg!!!

[enjoidorifto14]

Saudi Arabia here we come :rl:

[Irukandji]

$68 to fill up my Z today. sigh
Time to start biking to class everyday rain or shine

[Dutchmalmiss]

Shit I remember when I first got my car in '03, I was PISSED about paying $1.80 for 91 octane, haha. It doubled in about 5 years. At that rate....

$7 per gallon in 2012 FTL!!!!!

Time to invest in a horse.

[Gnnr]

that 600rr is lookin pretty good right now

its what I'm thinking

[20 til 3]

idk...its been a constant 2.80 ish average all year round(for 3 years now) where i live, i've gotten use to it, i try not to drive much anymore because of it... but i still find myself wandering alleys looking for oldschool cars for cheap

at least i can tune my car to e85 around here w/o a problem, and soon enough there will be something better to use

[Rob's S14]

10 years ago? Gas was 99 cents a gallon when I was a Junior in high school around 7 years ago.

same here...I remember when I first started driving. $5 would actually for a coule days. In an emergency, you could use left over change and still get atleast a gallon or so. Not anymore :cry:

[DreamN]

I'm starting to think a motorcycle is the only way to go from here on. Have always considered it before, but now more than ever.

[posdrift240]

Yup Motorcyle is going to be my daily driver starting as soon as it warms back up! 2006 CBR 600RR. Less than 12$ to fill up!

[posdrift240]

Not only is gas getting more expensive they are Watering it down to Shit! 87 is starting to rattle my valves alot, and It never use to! Dumb ass government!

[98s14inaz]

i wish we had e85 out here or e100 cause i would swap my 240 to it. and never go back to gas.

Do some research on e85 ;-) It's a scam too.

[silviamode]

Gaz is 1.18$ liter today in montreal.....

3$ gallon is a great deal....

[CKAMC]

Heh, you all think prices are bad now, check out how they are for the rest of the world

http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/magazine/1506/st_atlas_630.jpg

thats the newest bit of info on prices I could find around the world (posted may of 2007), done by some corporation that works with Opec

[DOOK]

i'm moving to cairo egypt

[PRADOgy]

Im voting hilary for president.. ..lol


eh...gas and everything is going up.. but my pays still the fucken same?!
Toyota Yaris/Vitz here i come.. cant go wrong with the 1nzfe

[DreamN]

Damn Caracas, Venezuela is where it's at! $0.17!!!

[MELLO*SOS]

http://www.wtrg.com/daily/clfclose.gif

This time last year it was under $60 a barrel...

[Dutchmalmiss]

Damn Caracas, Venezuela is where it's at! $0.17!!!

That HAS to be a typo WTF!!!!! You can't even get gum for that much.

[steve shadows]

wait until it hits 140

Im not fucking kidding

kiss our economy good bye

we have been sold out

Jesus camp is going to win the election, and we are going to become a 3rd world country.

vote for Ron Paul. at least you can say you tried.

remember it's the dollar that is failing not other currencies. The price of oil rise is not having as large as an impact in other currency markets...

Weak dollar + Inflation + Infastructure being strained by huge social program budget, and war budget + open borders. Pretty fucking common sens-icle.

Im voting hilary for president.. ..lol


eh...gas and everything is going up.. but my pays still the fucken same?!
Toyota Yaris/Vitz here i come.. cant go wrong with the 1nzfe

That would be about the worst possible fucking decision you could make.

Register Republican. Vote for Ron Paul.

Bigger Government and Pro-longing the war with more socialism in the United States and controlling of your personal earning is Hillaries Championed horse.

The neo-conservative branch of the republican party will do the exact same thing (and has look at Bush spending and govt policy record) only will argue it in the name of Corporatism.

Its the same shit, you want socialist-3rdworldAmerica Lite or faux-socialistAmerica-corporate.

Yes in dollars dimwit. Thats because our dollar isnt worth shit overseas now. Its in the shitter.

Their money is worth more, costs less in Euros to buy same amount of gas. It's just propoganda to make you think they have it worse off. ITS IN DOLLARS . This reflects the failure of the US dollar.

What are the two most competitive economies with the US? China and the Euro where is gas most expensive on that chart in dollars...

also remeber societies are less spralled and there is more public transportation available, so the class of people constantly owning and driving their own vehicles in say Europe and China are the upper classes respectively. Companies can rise prices as demand is inelastic with fuels in those classes of spenders in most cases.

duh.

[johngriff]

+1 for steve.

The British Sterling is trading at 2/1 against the us dollar, making the price per gallon $3.25 a gallon, which is less than what I paid for 91 today.

[steve shadows]

thank fucking you

[johngriff]

http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/automotive_news/4219904.html


If they do it, probably my next car.

[Dutchmalmiss]

Haha sweet, I think I've seen some driven up here from Mexico.

[steve shadows]

same here, safe, clean, probably reliable.

Who cares what it looks like. I want to eat.

gas is going to get so pricey it will affect your ability to eat haha.

[johngriff]

Its one of the best selling cars in the UK, renowned for reliability.

Smaller Eco footprint than a hybrid, when taking into account disposal of those battery's every few years, which might as well be nuclear waste, and better mileage.

[PRADOgy]

That would be about the worst possible fucking decision you could make.

Register Republican. Vote for Ron Paul.


Tried that once.. look where the fuck were at.. pretty soon there will be no middle class.. its on its way out.
our current president/business man is just that, a business man.

but im open minded, and will hear any ones speach, i never doubt, but never ignore reputation
Im not getting into this.. these fights are endless..

[steve shadows]

but im open minded.

Really?

Ron Paul ran before?

No it's not endless.

Hillary = Bill

Bill = Greatly Reducing Constitutional Rights, setting precedent for violent domestic police actions, Big government, taxing private business and small business more importantely.

You think that is going to help the economy, pull the ectasy out of your ass and think logically for a minute, I know it's hard.

Look check out what a libertarian is. If you think anyone outside of maybe Barak Obama is going to be fresh to washington your lying to yourself. They take handouts from all the same people.

The reason why California has such strict emissions laws is because Liberal Democrats attack Ideas in order to gain power. The villanize everything this, this allows for people to demand a government solution to a private problem. Like "go green" bullshit. The majority of pollution in socal is due to shipping vessels, trains, tractor trailors and industry. Private autombiles (even ones from mexico that are illegallly registered and never properly smogged) only make up a very small percentage (15% iirc) of all potential smog in the south baay.

People like Barbara Boxer (Hillaries best friend) and Feinstien fight for more government intervention because people need it. Punishing tax payers and law abiding citizens for a problem the companies that fund their campiagns are contributing to, or the Govt itself is.

you need to understand what Precedent means. Setting legislative precedent basically means Slippery Slope.

Once you ask for Government help, it translates to less freedom and more garnishment of your earnings.

[status:one]

WTF are you guys talking about....

I am in London at the moment and it's 1.19 GBP per litre last time I filled up the car here (which was today).

so it's 1.19 GBP/litre = $2.35 per litre.

There are 3.79 litres in a US Gallon...

so it costs me...

$8.90 over here in the UK for a gallon of fuel (with the current exchange rate 1/3/2008 (1.00 GBP = 1.97538 USD)

[PRADOgy]

Really?
Yes

Ron Paul ran before?
Noo.. republican smart ass

No it's not endless.
demo orrrrrrrr repub hmmmmm

Hillary = Bill
well actually when it was Bill, It was Actually Hillary .. but yeah

Bill = taxing private business and small business more importantely.
Last i check Bush has an intruiging taxing structure... but thats only an OPINION that one may have

You think that is going to help the economy, pull the ectasy out of your ass and think logically for a minute, I know it's hard.
yeah TAO:tweak: !! chillax fool, you swear :bigok:

True but Honestly chop the mountains down and boom no more smog issues:keke: ,
actions being taken already against truck drivers.. and costing them 20k to burn that desiel correctly

People like Barbara Boxer (Hillaries best friend) and Feinstien fight for more government intervention because people need it. Punishing tax payers and law abiding citizens for a problem the companies that fund their campiagns are contributing to, or the Govt itself is.
Perfect example of one of the many reasons why i am open minded.


I Dont disagree with you , but do not tottaly agree... this is why i dont label myself(YET!) ... and is also why is a never ending battle.. politics.. im over it.. but good points.. i none to prove since i really dont have a side yet..

[jskateborders]

hmmm.... Anyone wanna trade their bike for an s13????

[steve shadows]

HELLO

if it's 1.19 GBP.litre and there are 3.79 Gallons per lire you are paying

4.51 GBP for a gallon in the UK


Yeah it's a demand inelastic product, in a market where people who drive frequently are typically in an upper class portion of the economy like I said.

Again, most Americans don't even know that the dollar is worth HALF THAT of a GBP now.

In an economy that is hell bent on outsourcing, service industry and has all but completely eliminated any homeland production and is still sliding down the greatly dropping exportation (we don't make much at home anymore) you can expect this kind of economic response.

...Ive said this on another forum.

If your in the states: The lobster loves to think the outside is hotter than the pot it's beginning to simmer in.

It's ecological dissassociation. Let's all talk about how "BAD" it is outside of the US. slaps head.

Buy back the Fed, save the economy. No more corporate glass cielings for small business.

You scared yet? you want to see the new Gulliani ad?

Believe me... to me it's common knowledge what you just said. I AM from the outside looking in on the U.S. Only those who are ignorant or who are donkeys wouldn't know or be aware of what you just posted.

Let's all talk about how "BAD" it is outside of the US. slaps head.Don't associate me with those people again. lol I was merely saying the prices in the UK are higher than the U.S in relation to ME personally...so nvm... it's irrelevant.

[exitspeed]

I'm sure this (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/03/gm-cancels-new-dohc-v8-engine-program/) is directly related to this.

[RJF]

Thanks Bush.

No, thank you environmentalist wackos....We have more oil sitting up in Alaska (Anwar) than we would know what to do with.

[steve shadows]

They are one in the same.

I mean "Go Green?"

all that is doing is hiking oil profits even higher.

[yokotas13]

Is that directed at me?

I'm sorry your soo uneducated.

Why don't you do some research on why?

and how the Japanese economy is directly connected to our economy, the dollar and our debts.

...it's only your life and your future. thats all? fuck that right?

Are you going to say "I talk like a fag and im tarded?"

straight out of idiocracy haha amazing. I dont even need to try anymore.

PS. Fox is all about Gulliani, in fact, it seems no other candidate exists besides him on that channel.

Ron Paul is pretty much black balled from most networks for discussion and there is no proactive invitation efforts to get him any air time whatsoever.

[yokotas13]

yeah it was directed at you
All you ever do is politics this, dyno tune that
More so politics than dyno tune unfotunately.

It gets annoying and old.

[steve shadows]

This is Off Topic.

No one forced you to READ THIS THREAD>

If it was tech, I would talking about tuning.

If caring about which way the future of your country is annoying, I feel sorry for you.

[yokotas13]

but NONE of the candidates are going to make the shit better.

Period
Id rather have bush, and get the shit i need while im at war, or protecting anything wherever im at, then have clinton, nad have pay cuts, nad not have the shit i need.

Your view and mine are different, because i NEED shit you could never comprehend.

This isn’t about Clinton or Bush.

They aren’t even the issue. Except for Hillary which is going to be a more civil liberties and monetarily draining version of her husband. Feminazi and all.

Have you looked into Ron Paul? I was skeptical too. But at least it would a move to bring back some balance to the giant over generating bureaucracy.

Don't you care why the fuck were going to war? first?

:ughd:

[yokotas13]

I know why im at war, but hte media reason, and the real reason are two different ones. Im not getting into this argument. I have seen firsthand the shit we do, not what the media says.

[steve shadows]

It's not about what you do. The vast majority is good.

There are Officers raising objections to the way we go about aquiring a secure national agenda outside our borders not just some 'crack pots.'

And for the most part the Media doesnt really cover the goings ons in the war coherently, clearly or presented in a manner that anyone could draw any real depth conclusion on our current policy direction over there.

I don't want to keep debating American domestic politics, but it's the most important factor in determining what our future foreign policy will be.

This argument is like a black balled DIA analyst about to get fired and rank and file good soldier.

I love you guys, but policy need to change for Old Glory's sake imo or the United States needs to become honest with itself and globalize and become an economic union in a more honest way/chain of events.

[yokotas13]

im just gonna stay in japan, solves everythign for me
