****ing Gas Price

[Elkane7533]

$30.00 on a fill up with regular gas... What the ****! :bang:

And it's supposed to go up even more?!?!?! :Blasting_

I should just get a ****ing Jetta TDI.

Now take a look HERE (http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/I/IRAQ_CHEAP_GAS?SITE=APWEB&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT) !
Nice, huh? :)

[SuperGLS]

Don't get me wrong, I'd love if gas was back at $1.35-1.45 a gallon, but... gas prices could get up to $3 something and all of us would still be buying it. That's the problem, everyone NEEDS the gas, no matter how much it is. Oh wells. I can get it for as little as $1.85, so that's not too bad.

Getting a Jetta TDI would be a good call, except they are selling them for ridicously high because of the high demand. You could get a motorcycle that gets a lot of MPG though. Good luck.

[tharptroy]

$2.00 per gallon really isnt that bad. and I think its a hell of a step towards making americans (myself included) more energy conscious. why waste the gas if its not important? why buy a truck if its primary use is to drive back and forth to work? why buy an SUV if you usually only have one passenger? motorcycles are great, too bad its dangerous as **** to ride them in a metropolitan area.

[Elantra2.001]

Norway is the second largest oil exporter in the world and I pay about 5 dollars a gallon over there too. I do remember when i filled up my car for 10 bucks a couple years back though.

[only1db]

the prices around me are going down! ...but that is just politics rearing its ugly head!.....its funny because if it really had a to do with oil production and barrel price...the cost of diesel would have went up just as much as regular gas...guess what??? it hasnt...why because then it would eat into big coporate america's overhead!....anyway...enough with my rant :bang:

[HatchetMan]

my gas prices have gone down approx 15 cents since last gripe thread posted couple-few weeks back, and continue to lower, so I can't complain

[AUTOBOT]

I love the fact that I can get premium as cheap as $1.93 a gallon now. LOL

Beats the hell out of the west coast where the cheap stuff was still around $2.25

[jbird88]

Yeah Im in cali paying around $2.30 a gallon.

[HatchetMan]

I just paid 1.869 in AZ, so ha! Cali sucks when it comes to gas prices, they screw you because they can. What's funny is that our gas (or at least most of it) comes from Cali.

[jameswing]

our prices are goign down. I can get 87 from 76 or chevron for 2.17. I was used to getting 89 for my Prelude and I was paying like 2.40 for that.

Where do you guys buy your gas? What seems to work the best in XDs? Chevron, 76, Shell, Texaco, or whatever? I don't want to know based just on price b/c I want to get this thing to last as long as possiable.

IMO

I think it's higher in Cali b/c of all of the war protestors (at leasst in Fresno). They raise the price to show the wars not about the oil. Go Army!! (My Fiance' is in the Guard)

[AUTOBOT]

Cali gas prices have nothing to do with war protestors.

The prices in Cali are so high because the taxes on gas applied by both the state and the city you live in are so high. People in Cali pay about 35% on taxes for gas. So, at $2.30 a gal, you are paying almost $0.80 a gallon in just taxes.

Thats right, every time you fill up, you pay the government over $10 :abovelol:

[jbird88]

*shrug* what can you do? I need the gas so ill pay it whatever the price is...

[SuperGLS]

I can get 87 for $1.75 now, and like you said Auto, I'm happy with it, haha.

[CaseyGT2001]

paid 1.79 for 87 this morning.

[Jlivan]

Yeah prices are slowing going down here....around $1.89, but I have seen it as low as a $1.82. About $25 to fill up my car on regular.

[jameswing]

yeah but i like blaming Protestors. LOL

I also like to blame SUVs

[XTRAWLD]

I noticed it steadily decreasing, then just shoots back up.....

In the latest Motor Trend they have a really good write up on alternative types of cars/fuels.....such as Hybrids, Fuel Cells, Hydrogen...etc.....I've only got to page 3 but it's really good so far....puts alot into perspective.

[Leviathant]

Compared to what they pay in England or Australia, we still get gas on the cheap, even when we're well over two bucks a gallon.

[rckozma]

I fill up the Suburban every week and it usually cost me about $60 to $70, it has a 36 gallon tank. Company truck also has a 36 gallon tank, I usually have to fill that one every 2 to 3 days, I am just glad that the company pays for that one. Prices here are between $1.85 to $1.95 per gallon.

[rdeleonp]

Where I live, whe pay, as of today:

91 octane: $2.30
95 octane: $2.37

So-So, huh?

But minimum wage here is $250.00, A MONTH!!!

Yeah, we're being ***-raped...

[slow 2K2GT]

here in ontario we pay .82 per L

[ilanpro]

I pay 2.16 for 93 oct

[only1db]

just filled up yesterday....2.07 for 87!! ouch!

[slow 2K2GT]

these prices are per gallon right? what are you complaining about? we pay over 80 cents per liter. those numbers after exchange are almost the same.

[dragonfighter60]

lieterally 5 miles make a 20 cent a gallon difference here. on my side of the mississippi river it is 1.94 on the other side it is 1.74 both for 87. So I go out of state to get gas.

[SilverElantra03]

it is $1.79 here

probably because of gas tax.... :D

[Baseballchick02]

Yeah gas prices suck. I haven't had to put $30 worth in, but I've been up to $25. Gas went back down to $1.79 here. Two years ago it was under $.80. I wish it were that much again. When I had my Neon, I could fill it up on empty for $10 two years ago.

[2BIT]

Vegas $2.21 a gallon.....for 87 octane

[TNT4ME]

$2.36 a gallon here. However Germans are paying almost $6.00 per gallon :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[blupupher]

I should just get a ****ing Jetta TDI.

Why, so you could pay $10,000 mor for the initial purchase and diesel is more than super unleaded around here. At least the XD gets decent mileage. My Jeep gets 13 mpg.

[Jlivan]

I filled up Friday at $2.07. I heard on the news this morning which I didn't have time to watch but they were talking about prices going down. I hope this is true.

Almost $30 to fill up the tank is retarded!

[southpawboston]

amen brother. hybrid technology is the way to go. have a prius on order as i write this.

oh, and if ANYONE is going to complain about gas prices, there are two places to point blame: 1) yourself, and 2) dubya and his neocon cronies.

[SuperGLS]

It's steady around $2.00 here for 87, a little cheaper and little more expensive in different places.

And yeah, everyone stop complaining, if you think it's too much just get a bicycle or walk, haha. I mean, complaining isn't going to do anything...

[Phiber]

Here, diesel is about 8 to 10 cents more than premium. Thank your local gas companys. Or even better, throw rocks through their windows. Or better yet! Throw rocks through their windows while riding a bicycle!

[Gman01]

i am paying 1.89 for 93 oct

[XWRed5W3]

Punk.

I just paid 1.89 for 87 octane - btw, diesel is 2.23 here.

[JacksonJ]

I filled up 4 days ago and paid $37 Cdn to fill up. That's equilvient to a little over $30 US. And that was when it has been the cheapest in over a year. Paid 74.8 cents a litre. Usually it's 81.9 or 82.5 around here. I've put in over $40 before.

[XWRed5W3]

Holy crap - the dollar is down that much against the Canadian dollar? I remember when I went to Canada two years ago the exchange rate was 1.60 Canadian to 1 US. And the dollar stores - hehe. More like the 60 cent store.

[Phiber]

Punk.

That is a crime.

[BlackElantraGT]

I just filled up last Monday at $2.19/gal which is actually cheap for the So Cal area. :(

Turboed !!!!!!! :D

[evan938]

haha...start complaining when you deliver pizzas (like a couple people here)...you wanna talk about *****in payin for gas...yes, we get money for every delivery we take, but if i work for 6 hours, i might take 18 dels, so $18 plus tips...i can EASILY go through a full tank of gas in 3 days, no problem...if i could find a job where i can do as little work as i do delivering pizzas and make 15$/hour, hell yea id take it up, but, as it is, the money is too good (even having to pay for gas) to quit...i need to get a geo metro or a dodge colt...(startin to wish i didnt blow the tranny out of my metro...first car)...7 gallon tank and i know a guy i work w/ has a chevy sprint (i think) and he gets somethin like 50mpg

[Munky]

My, how times have changed.

[evan938]

eh...gas dropped about 26 cents in the last few days at a few places around here, down to 2.73...

im actually checking out a couple places to start deliverin pizza again on the side, 3-4 nights/week. talked to the owner of one shop last night who said hes looking for someone to start within 2-3 weeks

nice thing is, pizza delivery drivers dont go by the "tipped employees min wage scale", and since ohio just passed the min wage law bumping it from 5.15 to 6.85, ill be making a nice extra bit on the hour. ~20 hrs/wk at 12-15$/hr = extra ~1000-1200/mo for evan. nice

[SuperGLS]

Damn, I was getting it for $1.85, wowzers. Like how I mentioned that if it was $3 we'd all still be buying it. I'm cool.

At least it's holding steady.

PS - I miss Elkane.

[slow 2K2GT]

costs me $60CDN to fill up.

[PSUsouthpaw]

Yup. and things are unlikely to change anytime soon.

[DJ Hellfire]

I remember the days when $5 got you half a tank!

[Elantra87]

its like almost 45 bucks to fill up my xd, so dont complain! get a TDI my dad has onehe gets like 40-50 mpg or something like that i dunno

[xdforme22]

At least it's holding steady.

+1. I hate when it jumps around every week. I always feel like I'm being cheated.:(

[jayupark]

sigh...

Maybe we can all put diesel engines in our cars and run them off of human fat...

or would it be a bad thing because it would give people excuses to become even more lazy...
