THE GAS THREAD- News, Prices, and Feelings (5+ years in the making)

2.65 last i checked in durham

One station jumped a nickel from 3.17 to 3.22 today…and it was 3.21 3 days ago!!! :looney:

Fuck dealing with that moron, Bush…we all need to band together, head to NYC, and pull the heads of the oil companies out of their f’n cozy Park Avenue high rises and lynch their asses. :annoy:

I’m still waiting for someone to go ‘Mark David Chapman’ and wack 'em! :wink:

You know in a few months we’re all gonna hear about how much f’n profit they made…the bastards! :arazz:

whooops… 2.83

SEE!!! gas my my mind all fucced up:rofl::rofl::rofl:

If gas gets to $3 a gallon here, I’m not gonna continue my insurance payments and my car is gonna sit in my garage all summer and collect dust.

Why is gas in New Jersey so fucking cheap for full service?

Anyway, $2.80+ here. I like how this guy comes into my work yesterday and says that he hates the price of gas blah blah… and he drives off in an Escalade…

2.93 for the cheapest of the cheap in the Vancouver/PDX area.

I’m not feeling the pinch quite yet, I’ve got a Jetta VR6 for my daily driver right now and while it does have a good sized V6 it’s not too bad. However when it gets around 3.15 or 3.20 I will not be doing any excess driving.

When friends and I go out somewhere I’m the one to start the “Not It’s!” for who’s gonna drive:rofl:

Please… it doesn’t matter where you live or what kind of car you drive, NO ONE should have to pay this much for gas. Fucking ridiculous that my parents lived to be in their late 50s before gas went over $1.15 or so and I’ve only been driving for a few years and it’s already gone up over $2 past that.

What are some good ways to boycott? Besides standing outside with a poster and getting people to honk :bluu:

I’ve been driving for about 4 years and I’ve seen gas prices rise up over $2 from when I first started. Fucking $12 used to fill up my tank.

Seriously, this shit is getting ridiculous. I’m about to hop my ass on the bus…

ok…the normal prices here in my town are like 2.69-71

now i saw one station i go to sometimes that its 2.60…

when do u know when its shitty gas?

$3.31 for regular unleaded in SF.

yeah i had some dried mango earlier and im getting a lot of gas

The price of gas is kicking my ass! (The new Gas price thread)

We had and old thread for this but god help me if I can find it. Gas it tipping on $3.00 a gallon here and already over $3.00 a gallon in other places. This is getting ri god damn fucking diculous yet there is no outrage like there was last year. Why the fuck is that? Every time I go to fill up the tank I say to myself time to bend over an take it again and Ive been saying this ever since gas got over $1.60. I cant be the only one.

On top of my other problems no I have to change one more thing. I dont go out anymore at all in fact I pretty much drive to work then home and thats it. I used to enjoy going down the to beach on the weekends then I started going only once a month. Now I havent been down there in a year. Anything else that does not require me to drive across town I take the bike and peddle that shit down. I bought the saddlebag baskets and I load up my groceries in that and ride back home. And I am about to get me a bus pass to go across town but even that might not be worth it.

So what are other SRKers doing to cope? What is the price in your area? Is it time to demand government intervention?

I got gas for 2.60 when I was in Ocean City. went to my parents house outside of DC - price was about 2.90 for the cheap shit.

Overall the price is beyond ludacris - its based primarily on ‘fear’ - its more fear than ‘demand’. Iran might do this, Nigeria terrorist might do that. Some places are contemplating on top of the current prices - adding sales tax to it yes I know its already taxed, but that 3-7% state sells tax on top now That will add upwards of 21 cents per gallon. As is filling up is like buying a playstation game. All I can do is invest money into Exxon.

  • :bluu:

All about 1 out of every 5 stations having gas. That was terrible a few months ago.

Public transit!

LOL. You can move to Italy and pay 5 dollars a gallon. Yeah…gas sucks but I can imagine the same topic was done 2 and 3 years ago.

The old guy who randomly started a conversation with me at the gas station the other day said it’s probably going to hit $4/gal this summer. Can’t say I’m looking forward to it.

hahahahahaha! at all of you!

i walk for free :sad: :tup:

fuck man, 65 bucks a week to fill up my truck :sad:

its gonna be hard to save up for that ipod now.

2000 F-150, booooo.

gas around here is at 3.47 last time i filled up. im sure its the same, or higher.

87 octane is at 2.99 where I get my gas as of today :mad:
