Gas prices going up up up

[nightwalker]

Yep, us poor cali sob's are getting it good. 87 is now 2.36 a gallon. I have to use 91 though, and it's 2.60 a gallon. :bite: It doesn't look like gas is getting any cheaper anytime soon either. Looks like we might be hitting the 3 dollar mark soon. Many have predicted 4 dollars by next summer. :bite: :bite:

...in a sick way though, I kind of hope this ends the whole SUV rage. :rant2: Yes, I'm anti-suv.

... and people ask me why I'm not out driving. (Well, gas is really the second factor. The first is that my rear set [previously my front set, but I moved 'em out back because there's less negative camber back there] of Falken Azenis Sports are down to 1/32" left before they're to the wear bars, and I don't have the money to replace 'em. Thus, I'm driving on FAS [my old rear set] up front and Bridgestone Potenza RE92s out back... not a good grip setup.)

My family owns two SUVs and I don't see the reason for either. I hope we sell them and buy that CTS-V my dad's been looking at...

Get ready to pay more if a certain person is elected.

John Kerry's Record of Supporting Higher Gas Taxes:

1994: Backed Half-Dollar Increase In Gas Tax. “Kerry said [the Concord Coalition’s scorecard] method did not accurately reflect individual lawmakers’ efforts to cut the deficit. ‘It doesn’t reflect my $43 billion package of cuts or my support for a 50-cent increase in the gas tax,’ Kerry said.” (Jill Zuckman, “Deficit-Watch Group Gives High Marks To 7 N.E. Lawmakers,” The Boston Globe, 3/1/94)

[Eternal_240Sx]

You guys should come up to the bay area and buy our 2.75 for 91!! :faint:

[thx247]

Makes the gas at the track seem like a good deal atleast.

[XxJaPxOxNeEs23xX]

the one by calabasas off the 101 freeway, that guy is charging three dollars a gallon. nd im not sure what octaine. but my freind said that he was on the news for selling at high prices.

[RedlineRacer]

dang, out here in SC its $1.80 for 91

[G_Fish240]

I spent 20 dollars to put 7 gallons in the corolla : /

[Phlip]

RJF, what would be your excuse for why the fuck the price of gas is going up with Bush as president? I would rather be TOLD that the price was going to spike, in order to appropriately prepare myself than to go to sleep on Wednesday needing gas, then waking up Thursday to find that the price of gas has jumped $0.15/gallon...

... THIS IS NOT A POLITICS THREAD, LEAVE IT AS SUCH, TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE AND LEAVE THIS BULLSHIT TO THE BOLLSHIT POLITICAL THREADS.

[240niz]

Seems like the prices are not going down anytime soon. Avg. around 2 bucks for 91 here in WA

[XxJaPxOxNeEs23xX]

dang 240s niz that girl on ur icon is hot man. nd gas prices are more than 2 bucks here it has always been 230 or more for 91. it sucks. i put in like 1 buck of gas everyday cuz i have no money. and my gas light is always up

[cali240sxdrifter]

i was with a group of 240's here in Melbounre, Fl last week. One of the guys was complaining about 2.20 gas (BTW 2.20 is for the 93). I was like, whoa man, you need to stfu, cause i paid almost 3bucks for 91 this pass year and shit... goodluck to the people in Cali.

[HaLo]

meh...

you guys suck:
2.89/gal for 87
3.07/gal for 91
3.25/gal for 94

We always have the highest prices in North America

[that180guy]

^gas prices are here to stay boys, the more we complain.....well just complian more wen it goes up higher =\
its not so bad if you compare it with europe or parts of asia

[Ritz S14]

As long as it takes SUVs off the road, I don't mind paying the high prices.

[ghostuss]

Yea I being trying to convince my mother not to get a bmw X5, and the gas price seems to be doing a better job than me. :Ownedd:

[ZenkiS14]

:duh: (freakin message length)

[s13driver]

i think they should charge those SUVs or anything V8 1.5~2 times more than the normal price of gas

[Inland180]

CA riverside area is at 2.69/ gal 91oct. it sucks

[dct223]

yea... im going major broke this month.. had to buy a new clutch and get it installed... how convenient the gas prices spiked up at the same time :(

[mutkung]

it's 2.19 for 91 in AL.....this suck

[ca18guy]

I don't see the big deal in gas prices. I "fill" my car up every two/three weeks.

Old 93 cost roughly 1.75 a gallon

New 93 cost roughly 2.15 a gallon

I ussually get around 13 gallons in a stop so instead of paying $22.75 I pay $27.95 for a HUGE whooping difference of $5.20. Oh no I'm going broke now paying an extra ~$11 a month :rofl:

[dct223]

2.19 for 91 is not that bad... i havent seen that price in the bay for quite some time

[Bryants95240sx]

i live in ala and i can get 93 from the gas station down the road from me for 1.98

[nightwalker]

I've read a couple other reports and it looks like its a definite that gas IS and WILL be going up. I forget the source since I was skimming through a couple, but one analyst stated "Even with the rising prices, demand does not seem to dwindle at all".
Which you all know means prices will rise until supply and demand work themselves out again.

BTW, Kuwait is the richest country in the world, easily beating out the US and Japan.

[phrozen]

bay area has the highest gas prices. in US dollars

[phrozen]

cost me 35 to fill up my tank yesterday and im already down to 1/4 tank.. did alot of driving today

[MakotoS13]

i paid 1.83 today for regular. have i mentioned i love Texas?

[brokenben]

BTW, Kuwait is the richest country in the world, easily beating out the US and Japan.
umm.. what source is that from? ..i dont think kuwait is the richest.. they lack other natural resources so they need to trade instead of sell..

[brokenben]

just as another point.. this is all included in cali's cost of living.. thats why we have a much higher minimum wage. (soon to be going up again)

[phrozen]

minimum wage is already 8.50 in parts of the bay area now

[jsr20det]

Well that sux. I was getting paid $5.15 over the summer............

FOR DA BEST JOB IN THE WORLD. WHOOO!!!!

I'd rather walk then drive....








I have a 93' 4000lb gas guzzling boat... i mean buick.
