CoyoteRed Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Just filled up will the required premium at $2.35 a gallon. That's why I'm riding the motorcycle more. Who's gonna take the wagers of gas prices dropping come fall to reduce the chances of too many people buying more fuel efficient vehicles? OPEC does the pricing yo-yo game to keep the US from building too many refinerys and drilling for our own oil. It keeps the demand up. Me, I flip'em the finger and jump on my bike. It's more fun to ride anyway. Quote
+cudlecub Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Gas prices have been like Wal-Marts so called prices. Falling! Here's the day by day run down in southwest VA. Wednesday 2.24, Thursday 2.19, Friday 2.11, Saturday 2.09 and Sunday 2.05. I hope they keep falling, I work in sales on the road and 3,000 miles a month for work alone definitely lightens the wallet.

+Marcie/Eric Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Well tell some of these gas stations in California. 2.47 and no end in sight for this crap. Lucky for me I still have 2/3's tank. That should last through Friday. Quote
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 My Suburban has a 45 gallon tank and was getting 4 mpg - you do the math! I took it to a carbuerator specialist who rebuilt the carbuerator with smaller jets, tuned it up and increased mileage to 14 mpg - a huge gain. If you are driving an older car, especially a carbuerated SUV, check with a local mechanic about reducing the fuel jets! On another note, earlier tonight my daughter watched a movie named "The Hot Chick", filmed in '02, and I noticed that the opening scene was in a gas station - the sign listed Regular Unleaded at $2.69 and Premium at $2.89 - I paid $2.19 today.

+joefrog Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Yesterday in Queens, NY -- $2.39 and rising! Quote
+M&DofKJE Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Here's one for you. I filled up yesterday near Disney World for $2.18. About a mile closer, prices were $2.53 for regular and $2.72 for premium. Quote
+sTeamTraen Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 OPEC does the pricing yo-yo game to keep the US from building too many refinerys and drilling for our own oil. It keeps the demand up. OPEC has enormous reserves, but relatively low production compared to those reserves. I think OPEC only produces somewhere around 40% of the world's oil. The US produces about 50% of its own needs, so OPEC may only be 20-25% of US consumption. The trend is, however, in favour of OPEC: US reserves are only a small fraction of the world's total, so the US will depend increasingly on imported oil in the future. As long as this is priced in dollars, US consumers at least won't have to worry about the exchange rate. If the Chinese Yuan is the dominant world currency in 40 years time, however... Quote
+Gooose Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Happy driving ! In my country we pay $5.85 for a US gallon Althouh we havn´t reached the limit.. Quote
+Marcie/Eric Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 So the news last night said prices were going down some places. Can anyone tell me where this magical place is, or if it is happening anywhere? I still see them going up. Quote
+Miragee Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 On my Geocaching adventure yesterday we passed through the small town of Pine Valley, CA and regular gas was $2.79. Premium was $2.99. I didn't get gas there . . . The little yellow light is about to go on telling me I need to fill up . . . Quote

+M&DofKJE Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 You know, the thing that everyone does and no one admits to. Finding lots of caches so you can say I've found a lot of caches. Quote
+Marcie/Eric Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 LOL. I thought you meant driving around aimlessly looking for women's numbers. I can't let gas prices keep me from caching. My only restriction is time. Quote
