$3.49 a Gal Come on this is out of control

[Blackout]

what's going on with these prices other than them going one way. Does any one have any information on whats needed to convert to E85?

[mustangoutlaw]

Hmm just in time for the 3 day weekend! :screwy: I guess we should all stay home and not enjoy the weekend! These oil company's Suck!:mad:

[Holly]

I guess we should all stay home and enjoy the weekend!

That is what I plan on doing. I have a graduation party to attend (my nephew) but other than that, my vehicles will be sitting still this weekend.

['92Stang]

3.11 p/gal wal-mart amelia. Lined up past bob evans:HYF:

[plated]

thats just fucked up now:mad: hmmmm 10speed:cool1:

[Blackout]

It cost me $42.00 to fill up my cavalier at 3.24 a gal. at this rate it will take $50

[mustangoutlaw]

thats just fucked up now:mad: hmmmm 10speed:cool1:


Cleaning my 10 speed up now!:eek: :lol:

[Black Hole]

I wondered why I saw people lined up out onto the street at UDF for gas at 3.199/gal. :dunno:

Now I know.

Gas Companies = :flipoff: :mad:

[Blackout]

If I lived closer to my work I would ride my bike.

[cobrajoe]

:agree: :agree:

[Black Hole]

If I lived closer to my work I would ride my bike.
LOL....It's exactly 7.0 miles from my house to work....6.75 of which is up and down the Westwood-Northern Blvd/Hopple St. Viaduct/Hopple St./MLK.

There's NO WAY IN HELL that I'm riding a bike up and down those hills every morning and night.

Not only would I be shot at or run-over on a daily basis, but assuming that I did make it to work all in one piece, I'd need another damn shower once I would get there. :lol:

[beefcake]

this is really starting to get out of control, no reason at all for the price hikes

2 months ago it was what? 2.39 or 3 months ago maybe, and that was still high

the government needs to step in, take some of all our money, build their own refineries, and purchase the oil themselves and say f off to the oil companies,

The oil Companies and corp. America are runing the government. Paying people off to look the other way.THEY ALL SUCK!:mad:

[cstreu1026]

Well the real solution here, though not immediate, is to vote the people out of office who let this happen. I predict HUGE profits for the oil companies this year even in comparrison to last year. Despite the increased price of gas people are still driving more than ever. They are blaming the price increases on lack of supply yet I have yet to hear of a single gas station not getting gas. Big oil just found another way to fleece the people of this nation but lowering the output of refineries. If you want the oil companies to take notice then drive less. Buy less gas. That is the only thing you can do to affect the bottom line of companies like Exxon. And no 1 day boycot will work. I am talking about a commitment to driving as little as possible. If I had my choice I would be sitting home this weekend drinking beer and enjoying the nice weather instead of driving 400 miles to see my in-laws.

[95redstang]

It's $3.12 at the shell and Sunoco across from Hooters in Springdale...

They said on the radio that about 14 area gas stations were out of gas. My wife went to the Swifty on Rt 4 here in Fairfield and they told her that they were out. She said cars were lined up to get in. They also could be saying that they are out because they needed a break to switch their bullshit prices to bend everybody over like the other gas stations..They want in on it to...

i always say that? shortage? not at any of the 15 stations i pass on my 7 mile drive home

[331TwistedWedge]

i cant afford to race, the good stuff is $3.69 / gallon ... :(

[jaystang44]

yea this is some bull shit the president needs to but a freeze on gas prices like regan ,I think, did. Or like it was posted before boycott but see i think im like everyone else i bitch and bitch but i know i wouldnt/couldnt just stop driving but somthing has to be done this sucks

I love the 10 speed idea or everyone can ride the buses...fuck the gov. and all their shit.....money runs the world now and it blows no one can help the average joe to get any ahead these days. The rich get richer and the poor/average get poorer.

[cstreu1026]

If a local station is out of gas its because everyone freaked out when they saw that one station still had gas for 40 cents less and drained their tanks..

And by they I meant the oil companies...Exxon Mobile, Connoco Phillips, BP,etc.

Oh and I just did the math on whats its going to cost to drive to the in-laws tis weekend....about $120 round trip in te SRT-4 and nearly $200 if we were to take the wifes Grand Cherokee.

[Blackout]

And remember...pres Regan was Republican. The stinkin Senate has to vote to do the freeze.

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I just paid 3.34 for 93 octane yesterday, now 87 is 10 cents more expensive. Does that make any sense? That means premium went up 40 cents on average in ONE DAY.


I tell ya i'm getting closer and closer to full blown anarchy.

[Xuzhu]

I only live about a mile from work...can I borrow someone's bike? (I'm really not kidding here)

[DeckerEnt]

Still 3.19 at speedway here in Fort wright with a line a mile long. I was told by someone who worked there that it will be 4.00 for the cheap stuff by the weekend. Good luck finding a deal... I am heading to Michigan tomorrow. It is already over 3.50 up there..:AR15: Full on anarchy is getting closer than you think.
Keith

[wild87stang]

Yeah this is bull and just cause it a holiday weekend like this they will rape us on gas prices!

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I only live about a mile from work...can I borrow someone's bike? (I'm really not kidding here)

I kid you not, if i were 5 miles from work i would ride my bike on dry days.


Actually...i'll sell you my Haro for $200 bucks :lol:

[bobtsgt]

I can't blame ya. I wouldn't ride a bike down WN or Hopple cause if you stop your bike is gone :lol: but seriously the gas companies can suck it big time

[dedpedal]

Its going to cost me my raise AGAIN this year. I think rations at a lower price would work better than jacking the price everytime some exec needs a new mansion.

[WCKDGT]

bush isnt gonna do anything about b/c he gets rich of the oil too, this is absolutly ridiculous

[venomous_svt]

I have seriously been debating selling my cobra just because of the gas prices..this is insane. It was understandable with katrina, if not acceptable but honestly, their excuse now is a ONE refinery that is at partial production...LYING BASTARDS:flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff:

I just learned a little about this. You will need larger injectors, a larger fuel pump and a proper tune. The main problem is that the price of the e85 still isn't saving any money because of the decreased mileage. The fuel companies are keeping it controlled.
Alan

[Ranger50]

It's 3.659/gal for 87 in my hometown in MI.....

I don't care if the price is $4/gal, it's STILL an "affordable" viable commodity I need to be able to get ANYWHERE of great distance. But gas prices are one of the reasons I am still unemployed. I'm not commuting 30 min one way for $6-7/hr. I would have to "work" 2 hrs just to afford the commute back and forth, no thanks.

I do believe tho there is a bit of back alley collusion going on making the price fluctuate as it has done. If anything, we need to be able to import a refined product across the borders to lower the price in the short term, tariff free. Long term solution is to find a way to make this piece of land attractive to be able to sell more product over other places.

Just my plugged nickel.

Brian

[Timido]

Best thing you can do is combine trips. Leave the gas hog at home. Do what ever it takes to use less gas. Supply and demand.

[boosted 98]

udf loveland $3.19

[DeckerEnt]

Still 3.14 at the speedway by my shop. Still a line almost out on madison. People are getting antsy. I noticed the look in people's eyes. Then it was the same thing after 9/11. Most gas stations had long lines cause people thought the price was going to sky rocket and it didn't.
Thanks for the bad news in Michigan. Going there tomorrow and will be there till sunday. Hope the dakota gets better milage this trip.
Keith

[mustangboy]

I drive a diesel truck:flipoff: :D

[cstreu1026]

Yup even at $4/gal. we are still better off than most of Europe. They deal with it by living closer to work, driving smaller cars, and using diesel more.....all things that Americans have come to hate.

[DeckerEnt]

I think diesel is at 2.75.
Keith

[5.0calypso93lx]

If I could get transfered to Becket Ridge Technical Center, I would ride my bike each and every day.

[Timido]

Last year I was looking for a 1/2ton pickup that could average 20mpg and just drive it daily. I made the right choice buying a 40mpg new Honda and a used 11-14mpg Excursion.

[juiced347]

took 70 dollors to fill my blazer sunday and took 90 to fill up the f150 glad i have one gas effecient family car looks like the stang will sit pretty in the garage all year with these prices

[93Snakebite]

I make a monthly payment on my 01 Lightning and it sits in the garage. I can count on one hand the number of times I've driven it this spring. :( I never thought I would be even halfway interested in some kinda hybrid whatchamacalit dangdoodle but now instead of looking first at HP numbers I check the MPG stat.....how sad. I guess this is what it may take to get us hp/speed junkies to change our thinking. We all know big oil is to blame but all we can do is not use their product as others have said. It won't happen overnight but prices won't come down much for a while, even once that refinery comes back to "100%". Funny how it only works one way like that. There will be "investigations" by state and local govts which will not produce anything other than a token reduction. 2.69 sounds cheap right now.....it was way high 3 or so months ago though. Once they have us acclimated to the higher price they assume we will just continue as before, like sheep to the slaughter or lemmings to the cliff. It seems useless, but I will complain to my elected Congresspeople and start weening myself off gas. It aint quite like the bread shortages in Russia of 15-20 years ago, but most of us can't live without gas right now.

[Gene]

I drive a diesel truck:flipoff: :D

I'm seriously considering getting a TDi Volkwagen or an older diesel Mercedes.

[Sparky]

Last thursday it was 2.99 at a Marathon here in Springfield, and it was just 3.16 last night. I even went to the BP to get some beer last night, running on fumes. I should have skipped the beer and filled up. A friend of mine is making his own "E85 maker" *ahem* I don't think I can make my 03 Ram run on it though. Friggin dodges are still speed density:HYF: I did just move 5 minutes from work however:bigthumb

[cstreu1026]

If I lived close enough I would peddle my way to work. It would be better for my wallet, better for my body, and better for the environment. However, 37 miles each way is just too damn far to peddle my fat ass.

[hart88]

I'm seriously considering getting a TDi Volkwagen or an older diesel Mercedes.

We used to have a 83 Escort that was a deisel that got like 65mpg, it woulnd't get out of its own way but who cares with mileage like that.

These prices are shitty it took $20 for half a tank in the fucus at 3.09 now at 3.49? I figured it will take half a days work just to put gas in my car.

[dedpedal]

Wheres the first gas station to be bombed by some retarded radical going to be? I dont want to be there...

[mustangboy]

I'm seriously considering getting a TDi Volkwagen or an older diesel Mercedes.


When I use to work I would get to test drive VW diesels on occasion and they were'nt all that bad. They weren't going to win any street races but they devinately had some torque down low. I would definatley consider buying one.

[Foxxx5oh]

this is why i dont have a GT...lol...the lowest economy car in my driveway is the bimmer...cause it hardly has an exhaust...but still gets about 20 MPG

[redripper]

:AR15: :AR15: :AR15: To make matters worse Exxon mobile earnings last quater where 36 billion dollars gas prices my ass. Refineries broke down bull shit. Hell the president of Exxon had a 37 million dollar bonus last year. Hell 95 percent of the people in the country wont make that in a life time. I see a revolution coming soon. Guns will be a good thing to own..........:AR15: :AR15: :AR15: :AR15:

[Mista Bone]

Time for the drunken Bone spin on the matters at hand........

I paid 3.149 near Kevin at 7:30 PM last night, Speedway at KY 17 and Highland Pike. Until the assholes in the SUV's decide to SLOW down gas prices will remain high, the company's know you'll pay it.

MILFord to KY 17, cruise @ 68 MPH and people passing me like I'm a idiot (ok, not open for debate!)

I said 3.499 would be the breaking point this summer, I might have guessed low.

Wow, I now make $15 for 3 hours of driving with a car that gets 38 mpg, you think I'm not paying attention?

[Mista Bone]

oh yeah......since I'm in a ranting mode..........

Gas was about $2 a gallon after New Years, after taxes that is 1.50 a gallon. Todays prices are $3.50, or 3.00 after taxes. 100% increase (double) in the cost of gas, yet last time I checked oil was below $70 a barrel. Hell oil is cheaper than after Katina yet we are paying record gas prices.

Gouging = YES.

Honda = YES, I drive one. 38 mpg over the last 2200 miles. I have cruise, AC, power windows, AUTOMATIC transmission even.

Kev, 2:30 beer delivery?

[Black92LX]

the company's know you'll pay it.

that's all there is too it. Gasoline hasn't fallen into the idea of supply and demand. Just the demand side.
We are in no short suply of oil not even close.
Thank God for a company car with a fleetcars that I can drive whenever I want as much as I want.

It started to on 9/12 but the President put the word out it had better not.

I still say write your rep. I got an email from Schmidt about some eating right bullshit and responded with a question about why gas is so high and she had better do something about it or my vote goes to her opponent even if he was Adolf Hitler.

Haven't gotten a reply (yet)

[MrsAPE]

think im going to buy a wagon to cart my stuff to the pool this year. hubby has parked the truck and is driving the green machine cav. just ain't right!! oh and im thinking of not cutting the grass till it drops in price. put that money in the truck gas tank or the lawnmower?! im picking truck!!

[Blackout]

I have been thinking of getting a motorcycle but don't really want to pay the extra insurance. It just defeats the purpose of saving money.

Explain the reason it's stupid? The fact is that gas prices are increasing at a rate that is not explainable by the price of crude oil. We regulate the prices of all other forms of energy, why not gasoline?

It's about time someone in government actually took the oil companies to task instead of letting the run amok like our wonderful President does. :rolleyes:

i agree, although this is funny

The White House called the measure a form of price controls that could result in fuel shortages. It said President Bush would be urged to veto the legislation should it pass Congress.

fuel shortages?

a few months ago at 2.39 we didn't have shortages, at 3.49 we don't have shortages, so, at 2.59 or 2.69 or whatever they regulate we'll have shortages?

why? lol

[dedpedal]

I might rethink selling my motorcycle. 65-70 mpg is looking mighty good right now.

[Ranger50]

You end up with shortages when you artifically cap prices to an "unfair" level of profit.

If you make bread and charge $1.50/loaf, but then the gubment says you make too much off your $1.50/loaf charge, you must lower your price to $.50/loaf and live with it.. What would you do? You can either suck it up and accept you make nothing or that penny a loaf, or get out of the business...

If you get out of business, you have now taken away once available product, leaving a deficit or a possible shortage if the already available supply is stretched to meet the demand.

Now if you continue on making your bread for "nothing", how long does the bread taste the same or stay around???? Again you will have a shortage, since you will be out of business.

Now if gasoline, you have a federal standards to meet which all cost a certain amount of money. You still have a set amount to get it out of the ground, to a ship, transport halfway around the world, refine, and distribute. Plus you still have to explore and drill for more to keep up with current and future demands.... Ya'll think that crap is free? It's not like we can import that crappy messican gas they use straight from the refinery and lower the price overnight.

Just say no to price controls. NOBODY wins. End of story.

Brian

PS- if you really want to make yourself feel better, quit whining about the price and go buy some ExxonMobil, British Petroleum, ConocoPhillips, et al stocks and collect the dividend checks while the hog is fat. You will make out better in the end.

i'm not saying to cap it at $1.00 a gallon, but lets be realistic, at 2.39 they are making billions of dollars of profit, 36k billion bonuses, etc...

So that's evil?

How about you only get $2/car for commission, no matter if that car is $2k or $200k?

The only happy medium to price controls is no controls. Here is the problem with price controls, who says where the "happy medium" is placed? Is it $1/gal over cost? $.01/gal? $10/gal? The only person that will get squeezed out is the guy selling to you directly at the pump.

This was the exact reason I found ignorance in the article. Plus the comments contributed to the article was from an oil state representative. Who intern has the most to lose because of the profits he sees himself and in his state when big oil post record profits and the kickbacks you know he gets under the table...the basic principle of supply and demand is fundamental economics but with no major reasons for shortage and the price of crude being what it is...its obviously gouging when you are making record profits. The refineries in place where not built yesterday...the production of crude to gasoline and other energies have been in place for years, the machines have long paid for themselves many times over...so at the end of the day Big oil is paying for man labor and cost of production, so of course they are making shit-tons in profits. The energy industry should be held to a different standard than the basic retail industry, when there is minimal alternatives to their product...Its not like there is a walmart of big oil to drive down prices with buying power lol.
...Setting a cap...a reasonable cap without any major energy emergencies ie natural disasters, etc would only limit the profit they can make on a product that makes our country capable of operating on an everyday basis.

But its all in my opinion the new ways to eliminate the middle class cause the 4 dollars a gallon I have to pay for 93 octane to drive is for damn sure killing me and my daily routines....:(

[Maximus]

So at what prices do we see "Molitof Cocktails" being hurrled at Gas stations?

I have a Greedway next to the Speed Shop and I ALWAYS see people getting 2.76, 1.93, or some other weird amount in gas, because, THATS ALL THEY HAVE!!

Someone should follow the Executives of the Big Oil companies and when ever those guys try and buy something, there should be an ASSHOLE CHARGE added to their purchase.

Yes sir, that Big Mac combo....That will be $456.:HYF:

No argument there. I can afford the price increases, for the most part, but it does make me rethink things like going to Mid Ohio, going on road trips, etc. I don't mind paying $30 in gas to go up there, but if it costs me $60 just to drive up and back, all of a sudden I start thinking I can find other things to do during the weekend.

It costs me $15 to fill my motorcycle up...I can remember when I could ride all day on $5 in gas. :mad:

I'm perfectly willing to pay $2-2.50 a gallon, but $3.80 is a fucking joke.

[Reef Blue LX]

With the cost of gas going up it is only a matter of time until every product we purchase will increase in price. If it cost more to get the product to the retailers, that cost will also be passed to the consumer!

Yes and no. The cost of diesel affects the cost of goods more than gasoline. Luckily, diesel is staying around the $2.75 mark right now.

I heard a rumor earlier today that prices were going to jump another $0.20 tonight or tomorrow and stay up for the weekend..... :mad:

That wouldn't surprise me. I have about a half tank in the Jaguar, and a full tank in the 911, both purchased for $3.09 a gallon. This should last me through the weekend until prices fall again.

I love playing "fuel price arbitrage". :rolleyes:

[Timido]

I probably wont be filling up the excursion till I need it.

[Mista Bone]

I'll have to get gas tonight after my route......$40 to fill up a Honda?

[dedpedal]

Still 324 a gal this morning at the Speedway near my place, but Im told (by someone who was told) that we can expect prices 4.00 or more thru the weekend.

[MystichromeVert]

PS- if you really want to make yourself feel better, quit whining about the price and go buy some ExxonMobil, British Petroleum, ConocoPhillips, et al stocks and collect the dividend checks while the hog is fat. You will make out better in the end.

Best advice in this whole thread.

[MR.Shibbs]

I do contract work for buckeye partners,(thats one of shells depots in cincy) the guys that work there said it is realistic for prices to be 4.00 a gal by morning on saturday. So it kinda sucks, thats why i have a f250 disel baby. Looks like i wont be driving the stang though 11 mpg.

[R825OH]

Yep the Pony is covered up in the garage , guess it will stay there

So you are going to choose to not drive your Mustang this weekend only becasue of gas prices? How many miles you put on it in a weekend? I might put 50 miles on mine over a weekend.

If it was $2 a gallon, I'd spend $6.67 on gas. It's only $5 more at $3.50 a gallon to drive the same 50 miles. If you have a Mustang as a second car that sits around sucking up insurance money most of the time, is an extra $5 in gas really enough to just park it and not enjoy it at all?

Not me....I'll still drive mine when I'm not out in the Jeep. Lately, I'd rather get the Jeep out, but then I actually park it to get the Cobra out and I remember how nice it is to actually have POWER. :D (2.5L 4 cyl Jeep sucks with all these hills around.)

I saw it for $3.29 in Kentucky at the Speedway on 27 down from MD yesterday. I should have topped off, it's $3.49 everywhere around me.

The Speedway by my house is $3.29 this morning, as is the UDF right down the street from work (Montgomery). I may put 10 gallons in the Jaguar to help tide me over until Tuesday, when I'm guessing prices are going to start falling back to normal again.

[Ranger50]

It was only $3.049/gal for 87 yesterday in Pikeville.... Heck, it's only $3.199/gal at the KY/WV border stations around here......

TG, diesel is only 2.59-2.79/gal..... ;)

[Mista Bone]

Yup, can you say gouging?

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I don't let gas prices stop me from enjoying my car...especially since my Cherokee gets 16mph and the 'stang is roughly around that anyways. I guess i don't really have an alternative like a Honduh or something so it's all the same for me, i get raped either way.

[Mista Bone]

Just checked Speedways website.......

611 Maysville Rd
Mount Sterling, KY
40353-9767

2.899 for 87

I enjoy my "Honduh" but a 2.3L Turbostang is my plan :)

I sold my TA, nothing like a sleeper mustang.

[dedpedal]

I got mid to upper 20s with the coupe as long as I kept out of the boost.

[Katmandu]

Any of you folks check out www.CincyGasPrices.com ??? :confused:

[Mista Bone]

Honestly Kev, I won't accept less than 35 mpg on long drives.

Above 10 in/hg, lean and lots of timing, just gotta keep the right foot in check.

Does the 2.3L have a knock sensor?

[Novi_5.0]

If you are really pissed this is what I suggest you organize...

A peaceful protest where you fill your car to the brim with gasoline... your truck... your van... your suv... or your 18 wheel rig....

You hop into it... you drive it to the nearest highway overpass or highway exchange... and you park it in the middle of the street, you write these words on it... "I am pissed at gas prices!" and stroll off to the nearest bar to start drinking all day long.

I understand some of you are going "Wtf?"

Imagine now 5 million or more people doing the same thing all across the nation. The highway system will shut down. The FAA won't get to work and the airlines will shut down. The docks will close down too. Trucking will shut down.

America itself will simply shut down... without a bullet being fired.

That my friends will get someone's attention.

Pass the idea around.... :)

I'll just drive my 67 Volvo instead it gets 26 mpg and hauls my bike :bigthumb

[Mista Bone]

Hey Kev and Decker, I heard tonight the Speedway by you will be closing the first of the month. Dunno if it has to do with the bridge work or what.

[Katmandu]

Last year I was looking for a 1/2ton pickup that could average 20mpg and just drive it daily. I made the right choice buying a 40mpg new Honda and a used 11-14mpg Excursion. You shoulda just bought a Dodge Ram 2500 w/Cummins Turbo-Diesel like mine! It gets 21MPG! :bigthumb

[DeckerEnt]

The speedway is closing for 10 days for renovations. They are moving the pumps and remodeling the interior a little. They said the beer cave is getting bigger too. Woo Hoo..

[rogers]

[R825OH]

[Timido]

Quitley I would like to find a 12v Cummins for a winter swap project. Cummins Excursion would be ok with me.

[Mista Bone]
