Default Another thought about the gas situation?

Is it me our am i going through more gas than usual. Im getting gas almost three times a week where i was getting it twice a year ago. I wonder if because the oil is so expensive that there chinsing the production standards. just wondering if anyone else has noticed if they are going thru more gas than usual?

try putting more in when you get gas
fill once a week, instead of $10 three times a week

sad reality is, you pay astronomical prices for gas with "filler" ie..

you see the signs, gas contains at least 10 percent ethanol.

or contains mtbe.

---- aint pure, kinda like scottsi's genes

your drivin on scottsi fuel, aka half-a-***** fuel

gas these days burns so shitty, if you look at everyones tailpipes, they all drip moisture.. sure humidity will do that but alot of it is moisture in the gas, the additives and all sorts of government ----.

bottom line gas these days burns like ----.
back in the day , they were doling out 110 octane for 45 cents a gallon.

whered that go.....

Water is also a byproduct of the majic that occurs in the catalytic converter. :P

I agree though, I never though Id see the day when it would take $28 to fill a ------- CRX with 92.

Regular is going to give you better gas milage.

I really don't understand how the gas could be full of filler.... its gas, filling it with filler, would effectively reduce the octane rating, wouldn't it?

You can't use that regular stuff with 10+ compression...

Gas prices are ------- nutty, two years ago I could fill up my car for less than $20, now it's damn near $30. Has anyone changed what brand of gas they get because of the prices? I usually get Chevron, but its tempting not to downgrade in times like these. The thing is, prices aren't gonna go down anymore so you lose either way.

i remember when gas was 98 cents a gallon

what we need is more and more oil production in the united states. open up alaska... the gulf of mexico... ext... more more more oil from the US.

currently the hippie *** guzzeling liberals are blocking oil drilling in a baron wasteland in alaska...

It sucks and its not gonna change anytime soon. 3.19 for 91 octange today what a bargin. I really hope I dont see 4.00 for 91 in cali next summer but Im sure itll happen. I guess its just a fact of life along w/ 500,000 1200 sq ft homes on the west coast. If pretty much accepted the fact that these things arent gonna change hell in california housing in central california went up almost 40 percent average growth in income 3 percent. Reality sucks and Random how long would you think it would take to find key areas of crude oil,pipe it and begin to process it. Atleast a couple years. I personally think we need to go up there and atleast begin more research becasuse the rate were goin in 10 years were all gonna be in some real shitty situations.
