Re: Gas Prices

Guys u really have no idea the difference in how many 5-6liter suvs u have in the states compared to the rest of europe. when i was living there i couldnt get over it...

sure whats the most sold car in the world... i think its the ford F-series pickup's.. i could be wrong but i heard that somewhere... it sounds harsh but i think people should have to meet certain criteria to buy an SUV/pickup nowadays in the states.

put it this way i recently traveled 650km across spain in one of these



i did it in 6hours and i spent a total of about ?45 euro to get me there... id say the same journey would cost about $150 in a SUV... it just seems crazy to me..

i mean im no hippy and id rather people spent oil money on sportscars than SUVs.. at least they'll be getting somewhere fast..

hmm.. the probable effects of green house gases affecting weather which in turn raises the price of gas/oil/petroleum/deisel the main contributer of emmisions . which in turn reduces consumer and comercial consumption .. nature is one clever bitch ..

Re: Gas Prices

had a local gas company convert to the ethanol type (10%) which is about as 'pure' as you can get by car standards vs. cleaner burning styles.

Gas station by me (of said company) was $2.40 there on Sunday; $2.50 on Monday, then $2.99 yesterday , now it's $2.92. And that used to be THE cheapest gas around by FAR...lines would be spilling out into the street. Of course they probably could only purchase so much to start, hence needing to drive up the price initially. Bad timing on that count.

After it went up on Tuesday, the grocery store (Stop & Shop) several hundred feet down had it going for $2.49 regular...local police had to direct traffic because THAT'S how bad it was....yeeeeesh.

As for Atlanta, here was one idea off a report..

At the Chevron gas station at 10th and Spring streets in Midtown, drivers were limited to buying $10 of gas which was selling for $2.99 a gallon. A sign inside the station said "Due to fuel shortage, we are having to restrict use."

Although situations will be in flux quite a bit over the next several days, I too, heed a possible Martin-type effect...maybe not to the extent of the 70's, but some areas will at best have to limit consumer intake because they themselves won't be getting much shipment-wise.

History always has a tendency to somewhat repeat itself, no? :?

sounds about right. that gas station you mentioned is just a few blocks from my gf's work. nutz!

1. the cost of my truck and the expense of driving it i can live with, it's my choice.

2. i need it for work, a 4 banger tin can just won't cut it.

3. if i pull up to a construction site to talk to a contractor in a fucking Mini Cooper, i'd not only lose a sale, i'd probably get my ass kicked.

4. soccer moms with SUV's are who you're talking about chief, and i agree, they suck.

not neccessarily. some of the cows i see driving around in Escalades are driving in them cos they have the most bling of anything else on the road.

damn right. i moved downtown and walk to work. i have put on about 2500 miles on my car since feburary. i only drive to the store, or to get to friends/clubs out of town. have to fill the tank about once a month.

i do miss the good ol days when i would get bored and drive just to drive, but not anymore. gotta stick it to the man. if he gets greedy. i take my dollars away.
