They just had a movie about this not too long ago on cable...

"Oil Storm" I think it was

ZK · 09-01-2005, 02:51 PM

Geez, there's a new gas thread every couple of days. And its on every car message board out there. There's nothing we can really do about it. Just try to drive less and maybe get a more fuel efficient car. Lately I've been seeing old Civics getting snapped up really fast.

If cars ran on stupidity, 80 percent of the driving popluation would have free fuel for life.

millworkman · 09-01-2005, 07:25 PM

For once I get to say that you cali guys have it easy. Here in Knoxville, TN we have regular 87 for 3.29. All over the city its that much. I put about 3 gallons in my bike and it was more than 10 dollars. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

Jcb890 · 09-01-2005, 07:30 PM

at least i don't live in georgia, but these prices are fucking RIDICULOUS.

prices of EVERYTHING is going up because companies have to still make the same profit but are spending a lot more for gas. i hope all you guys don't want any parts from japan because those will be more expensive soon too

lucky7 · 09-01-2005, 08:42 PM

life sucks get a fucking helmet.

240silvia · 09-01-2005, 10:07 PM

Well, the reason why it's so high here in NC, is because 2 of the states major gas lines are down due to no electricity. Those 2 lines supply 90% of the state. Now, it's 3.29 for regular 87 octane. Cali guys.... I feel your pain!

What makes this even worse, is that state wide, we are pretty much out of gas. I know that here in Wilmington, we are totally out! I filled up the 5 cars here at the house, spend almost $200, and we aren't going anywhere!!! Home, work, home, work. Until we get more gas, I'm stuck here.

Thrill Capsule · 09-01-2005, 10:21 PM

I personally plan on buying a bicycle this weekend and using that to get back and forth between jobs and friends houses. I will only take the car to college (25 mile round trip) help to have a motorcycle too.

If you guys want a extremely fuel efficient bike all I have to say is Ninja 250r, mine gets 65-70mpg on 87octane

Screw everyone that looks down on the 250 as a "girls" bike.

PS anyone wanna buy my 1995 kawasaki Ninja zx600r? seriously lol...

I am in Greensboro and it is kinda weird here... Stations in the middle of town are charging like 3.29 for regular, but then as you go further east into the county, the stations are charging progressively less, except for where this is GUARANTEED traffic, these stations charge like the "middle of town ones." I filled my tank last night on 93 octane, 3.19/gallon. I will drive the 240 to work tomorrow, I will drive the Caprice if I go anywhere this weekend, which I likely will not, in an attempt to stretch the tank in the 240 2 weeks.

smellslikecurry · 09-02-2005, 07:24 AM

i need to get my 240 running...paying freakin 370 a gallon for premium here in ny is killing me

Saisoku · 09-02-2005, 09:18 AM

Im in Jacksonville NC and for the most part gas prices are anywhere between $3.20 and $3.50 per gallon of the cheap stuff. I guess its a good thing that my injector o-rings leak like the levees in L.A. Then again I want my car running again.

Var · 09-02-2005, 12:07 PM

You guys are paying 50 cents to a dollar more than we normally payed before Katrina. It was about 2.59-2.79 for 87 octane. Feel the pain . muhahahahah.. I pay stinkin 3.17 a gallon right now for premium. Seriously though, it'll pass. And we'll be more expensive again in no time.

SochBAT · 09-03-2005, 05:29 AM

Lucky for me i don't drive so often. WEEE!!!!

MoK · 09-03-2005, 05:54 AM

i didnt fill the tank all the way up few weeks ago because i was hoping it will go down, dam was i wrong. bout to get that go-ped started!

must be nice to pay 3.70, 87 is $3.89 and 92 is $4.05 a gallon. Yesterday after class I went to the gas station and they had a sign on all the pumps. 87 only due to shortage. Sweet.

i8yourfwd · 09-03-2005, 12:03 PM

Gas went down in price here. Went from like $3.23 to $3.10 for 91 octane

Var · 09-03-2005, 02:05 PM

Still floating @ 3.17 across from my work for 91 octane. I thought it would have gone up to 4 bucks right now. Pathetic..i'm actually happy to be paying 3.19 a gallon for gas. 91 octane muchless. poop.

Hikarispeed · 09-03-2005, 02:16 PM

I'm lucky I have a company car for a few weeks: free gas.

Work in Greensboro, live in Gibsonville (between G-boro and Burlington) and the stations near my house are running outta 93, but one that saud they were COMPLETELY out had them all today, so I filled up again.

*Sil-Abc* · 09-05-2005, 02:32 AM

damn ive been meanin to look into some bikes and learn how to ride one. this could be my push into gettin one

anyone wanna teach jon wayne how to ride a bike? (not a bicycle smartasses :P )

i8yourfwd · 09-05-2005, 02:44 AM

Might be my push into getting one also. I was about to check the gas station that was known to have the best prices, but I had a run-in with a pig so I had to makea few detours I HATE PIGS

RSP13-Sideways · 09-05-2005, 03:30 AM

Yea but bikes are even fuxed. I have a 2003 Yamaha R1 and a 2001 Honda CBR 600F4i.

Before all this bs I remember paying about $6.00 to fill the biatch up. Now on my motorcycle at $3.39 a gallon I'm paying close to $10-$11 for my bike! That is freakin' rediculous!

Ohhhhh and I'm faded right now, I just got back from bar hopping in sAn Jose, so I hope I spelled everything ok! BYE !
