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

gas is fuckin 4.41 cents in chicago its bullshit its all over the news this morning im so fuckin sick of this shit…

the only reason i still drive is because i would never make it to work on time depending on the cta or a bus or train

4.41 for what??? premium or diesel… i hope thats not regular…

That’s more than likely Preimum, but Unleaded ain’t too far from it :looney:. Out here in the South Suburbs of the Chi it’s just reaching 4.00 :annoy:

I watched the prices go up since monday. Drove into work, saw a BP at $3.61; Exxon right next to it was $3.69. Went home yesterday; both of them at $3.71. This morning, both at $3.75…

Diesel is $4.41 here; Prem is $3.95. If it gets to $5 i’m getting a Harley

Regular is $3.95 over by me.

Damn… im mad gas is calculated into everyones plans now…

know what… i hear all these trick an tips an stuff… but overall… shyt ain’t helpin. an people who say oh we got it made cause their[overseas…another country] prices are higher…PLEASE UNDERSTAND… reality in my mind is that we are hurting an complaining cause WE live here an are taking it hard. i had to get on someone the other day here at work with that damn statement… like yo… your ass lives in Gaithersburg… not France… i live in germantown… not germany… so my brain only focuses on here… an since we work at a place that handles 48% of the nations economy u should fuccin know it would hurt us even harder if we went over there cause our dollar is some shyt right now…fucca…

anyway im bout to join one of them movie dvd clubs that send you stuff… which is better blockbuster or netflix cause me an my shorty are gonna have plenty movie nights…

Netflix>>>>>>>>>Anyother service. Hell if you get a S-Video out on your vide-card you can stream alot of movies and TV series like Heroes for free on the television. There is a wearhouse somewhere in the area to so you get stuff within a couple days.

I’m about to get a FIZAT check from Uncle Sam actually 5 of’em maybe that wil lbecome motorcycle money…too bad my ass wont’ fit on a moped. I could get a cruiser and put a decent system in it. No I’m not joking either…

netflix it is then…

It hit four bucks here last night.

Umm…XBOX 360 stream with Free content from the internet…Netflix should be an after-thought (or for those movies that you can’t seem to get)

Unreal: Don’t be like 50% of the USA and buy shit with the stimulas check, pay off some debts with that shit.

please pm on details on how to do this sir… thank u

I havne’t seen shit for free on the 360 outside of a few music videos. I can watch shit I DLed, but truth be told, Netflix was actually easier and better for me than DLing - they freaking had 5 Deadly Venoms, I couldnt’ find that shit on the net.

Not getting into it here, but at this point fuck debt. I’ve done a good job thus far cutting it down, I’ll continue to do so at my current rate, but currnetly my savings are pitful and you have no clue how far behind I feel in everything. Like seriously. I don’t own shit from an equity stand point, I don’t own anything from an entertainment stand point, I don’t have anything tech related thats up to date outside of my 360. No Wii, no PS3, No HD television, no laptop, nothing. In short I need to spoil myself a little bit. I’m not complaining or anything - justsaying I need to do me for once.

reg unleaded is 4.41 in some spots in chicago. the prices range from 4.19 to 4.41 its ridiculous

I tried putting banana peels and other garbage in my gas tank, but that shit didn’t work. :-((((((((((

I spent ~ $70 filling up yesterday.:wasted:

Is your flux capacitor fluxing? Better get that checked, son.

I’d get a bicycle and ride my lazy ass to places, but insane asian drivers might run me down.

My plutonium meter is on E. =(

65 bucks to fill up my tank in brooklyn. i’m thinking about getting my skates and just blading it to work. but i work in manhatten and it would be like 1 hour to 2 hours to get to work. but the only down side is that i’d be mad tired and too tired to do anything.

Like many of you, I hate it when people say that we have it better in this country than others. Fuck that noise. I live in Lebanon, TN. We DO NOT have a public transportation system. If you want to go anywhere, you DRIVE there. Plain and simple. There are taxi cabs here like anywhere else, but the yare the kind you have to call in advance and charge a cock and aleg for their service. So either way, you are getting screwed. Yea, people in England have to pay more $$ for gas, but at least they are a very small country that has a LOT of public transportation…

Oh, and $3.67 here. I feel sorry for the diesel owners now, though. even if you have a super efficient turbo diesel, that shit still aint adding up anymore:sad:
