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?

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

try putting more in when you get gas :-*
fill once a week, instead of $10 three times a week O0

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

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-nigga 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.....

oh god, bitchsi is OWNED again, nice hotrex...very nice 8)

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.

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

spoonfed, youre a stupid canuk, where is your car, you dont have ---- to show for. and hotrex, my genes may not be pure, but my cum is pure sperm when its dribblin down your girls lip

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

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?

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

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.

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

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 cum 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.

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

serously. i doubt 6 oil pumps will ---- up a herd of animals.. they'll find they're way around it. salmon in the northwest anyone?

back when i was getting ---- for hours at work, i downgraded to a local grocery chain's gas.. it was alright, plus i got 6 cents discount whenever my mom spent more than $50 in the store. it's usually about 15 cents cheaper (after deductions) than shell/chevron/76

although that was when it was like 2.60, and i thought that was high.. today was 2.91 for 92 octane at 76 :'(

also because of these gas prices, i've been going out less, since i live in a remote area compared to all my friends and the usual hangout spots :-X

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

i have no idea how long it would take to effec the market.

president bush and most repub's wanted to begin drilling in alaska over 4 years ago. the dems have been blocking it ever since the idea was raised. the dems are blocking all oil production increases the last 20+ years.

all the hippies say oil company tycoons are getting rich from the drilling. but if there was more oil production who would acually benifit? THE CONSUMER, oil is the key to our economy, the dems know this and will do anything INCLUDING ------- us at the pump to hurt the reps and president bush.

i need gas, and unfortunatly i do not know to make it, so i have to buy it from someone. if they make money off me buying gas, thats the way life is. who is really getting rich? sand ------s who will turn on us in an instant, and use oil prices against us.

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

Sad part is we in Canada have ---- loads of oil all over the place.We lack the capital to drill it all, but if Bush got on the ball he would push investment in Canadian oil development and at the same time lessen the dependency on the highly unstable middle east.I'm paying ------- $1.28 a litre for 94 which equals over $4 a gallon US!The oil is taken out of the ground 3-4 hours north of me and processed at a refinery that is 5 min from my house.OPEC can suck my balls.

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

Ya there really needs to be a chnage in the next year a serious one becuase I know for the first time gas is effecting me takin trips that I usually would do now I stay at home. Im sure Im not the only one especially most of the 20 somethins who dont have 60,000+ incomes. 4.00 dollar a gallon is a year away Im sure of it but the only thing I can do along with the rest of us is take it and hope our governement can come together in an organized manner and get something together before its too late

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

Well, there is a bit more to the Alaska drilling idea that needs to be cleared up before it should pass. In effect, it probably wouldn't be a drastic help for our economy given the restrictions on area, the enviroment procautions, the added costs of effective and relatively "pollution-free" means of drilling/transportion/refining, etc... It'd just be a dab of insurance against OPEC hassles. Basically, it comes down to either 5 cents less for gas or preserving one of the few untouched areas of the world..

Now, if oil is the key to our economy, why act like sucking every last bit from the Earth is the solution? Shouldn't more money be put forth for alternative fuel instead of making private companies battle it out for the next big energy supply(beyond that farce of an energy bill that just passed)?

If drilling in Alaska is enough to make someone act like one side is dooming us, how about this? Reps are forcing our society to stick with something that will be gone, ensuring a monumental crisis, putting the hopes in the hands of private companies who might just end up trying to ---- us for every penny once that Dooms Day comes around since they'll want to patent the idea, afterall Reps are the majority that push laws that ensure persons/companies get their money for anything they create...

Oh how short sighted people can be....

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

10 years ago when I first started driving I could fill my car up for a little less than $10.00. Now it takes OVER $10.00 to fill my bike it. Its ------ ridiculous

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

i put in $20 at a wack smart ass.

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

My parents have a Marathon Credit Card and whenever you use that credit card to buy gas it's 5% discount off the price. So gas here is $2.75 for the good stuff. So 5% is what? 13.5 cents? Times about 9 gallons and you get 121.5 which is $1.21 That you save. Not alot, but still something. If you are looking for a lil discount and a credit card it might be a thought.

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

My main concern is when is this going to stop!? For the last five years prices have been going up.
So far I got out less and if I do, I plan out every where I need to go and try to make a big loop instead of back tracking.

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

Oh damn, and I thought everyone said we were going to Iraq for oil. ::)

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

Im all about making gas go down put drilling in Alaska really wont help. If we did we wont yeild oil untill seven years and it will only last us about 14o days. Plus that could be a risk because we could use that oil for our military in case we would need it. :-\

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

the Us is saving their oil sources, when the rest of the world runs out of oil, we'll still have oil and we'll become the automatic superpower. oil is the lifeblood of everything and the one with it wins. why did hitler lose ww2? because he lost to stalin at stalingrad and couldnt get to russia's oil source.

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

If we drill in Alaska, it proves that nothing is sacred. Nothing. That's nearly as bad as the new emminent domain ruling by the supreme court. The government could take your land if it's in the best interest of the people... and now they can take it if it's good for business. The US is such a ------- joke anymore.

As far as the gas prices, we're always looking for that cheap and easy fix, bandaging a problem until something else breaks down and we're all boo-hoo, gas prices are $3 or $4 a gallon? Well quit driving, ride a bike or walk once in awhile. I tuned my car for at least 28 MPG and drive my eco-beater as much as possible. I see the price increases as a way of the US actually catching up with the rest of the world and it all happened on Bush's watch and the blame goes squarely on him and his regime...

To suggest the Dems have had any power the last 4 or 5 years to do anything about it is really a pretty weak statement.

omg RS did u read that :D ;)

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

^ Why do I drive? Faster, Efficient, More Fun, EASIER. yea, im a lazy american, now suck me off

plus, i live in a remote area of my city, so if in 1 minute i got 3 blocks on a bike, it would take me:
12 minutes to get to work
44 minutes to get to school
36 minutes to get to my orthodontist
51 minutes to get to the beach where all the cool people hang out and showoff they're CARS

i do think it's stupid for people to be driving SUV's and v8 trucks. i'm kinda looking out for a CRX to be my next project, and save me some money =\

drive that d15 like a grannie for 35mpg

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

well im about to just invest in a bike. Its fun and the mileage is good. I wont be able to drive it in the winter but i hardly drive that much in the winter anyways. My honda has pretty good gas mileage im not complaining to much. but it takes like $20 bucks to fill my car up now when i can remember it was just $10 about a year ago. I can only imagine how much people are paying that have suv's and v8 engines. :-\

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

Before there were suburbs, towns and cities were laid out in a way that you had everything you needed in a short distance and you could walk. Now people move way the ---- out of town, buy a big huge SUV to cart their lone fat ass and one child around and then complain about gas prices going up. More Demand = Higher Prices...

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

I drove through Georgia a few years ago and regular was 78 cents... 78 cents!

And indians speared fish for dinner.

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

you guys are acting like the place they want to drill is some nice nature spot with deer and elk running arund in it.

ITS BAREN WASTELAND.

we ARE NOT running out of oil on earth. there is still years and years and years and years of supply left.

we have to drill for more oil and start converting to other hippie sources at the same time. you cant just drop one for the other. it doesnt work that way.

no one knows how much oil there is

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

barren? Come on there is grass there... lots of grass. You know if that grass is disturbed there is going to be a global warming of like .0000000000001 degrees within the next 30 million years.

Hitler took stalingrad, twice :-\, the germans came within 50-75 milies to takin moscow.

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

seriously. a good sized area for drilling would probably be equal to or less than the amount of land seen in those pics

Re: Another thought about the gas situation?
 

Oh. My. God.

You're getting your "official" ANWR information from a website that had Google ads on it?

That, is funny...
