2.90 for premium today

 

hasnt gone up for me yet....according to MSNAuto

 

I noticed I been getting bad gas mileage, is it due to the cold and the "winter gas".

 

just went back to So Cal on the 30th. 2.71 at 76 ftw!

 

I spent last week in Montana, never paid any more than 2.50 up there, but places in NV were back up above 3.00 already.

And boy does the turbo motor appreciate nice cold air, I could run WOT uphill in 4th gear without the slightest hint of a knock

 

they're giving us the nice slow knife to the wallet...

prices have been creeping up slowly for the past 2 months i think... first $2.45, then $2.51 then 2.59, then 2.63 & so on til where we are now...

PITA.

 

Now that the midterm elections are over, no one needs to buy our votes by pointing out the lower gas prices.

 

$2.79 @ 76 in hayward last night. not too bad...

 

my gas milage has gone down 1-2 mpg also , i just paid 2.96 last night...

 

see this is what they want.


they jacked the prices up to 3.20 a gallon so we'd appreciate prices like 2.80 a gallon when in all actually there is no way in hell we should be paying more than 2.50. Oil companies are making more money right now than they ever have. It's rediculous.

i feel sorry for european countries getting nailed worse than we do.


the issue for me is that in the u.s. especially in california where you pretty much have to commute to work to afford to live driving is a necessity and therefore gas is more like a utility. With big oil controbutions to politics it'll never happen while a republican is in office and not likely with a demo, but it should be regulated.


we're getting bent over and statements like yours really show that their plan is working on a LOT of people...most really.

But hell...I like driving. I like power. I like speed. I'll keep on driving...too bad they know that....fortunately my family has oil stock.....so I can fool myself into believing I'm putting money in my families pockets....then back into mine..haa.

 

I think the prices have been creeping up a little faster recently since the Saddam excecution.

Turmoil in Middle East = higher price at the pump.

 

who cares.. people make a big deal about 10cents.. its only 1 dollar difference for every 10 gallons...

 

in that case I'd like the gas to go down to $1.09 like when I was a kid. I remember my mom would trip out when it went to like $1.11.

in THAT case, I bet some of you would like to see gas prices from when YOU guys were kids... sub dollar levels

then instead of complaining about a 10 cent increase, I can rightfully complain about a 2 dollar increase

 

That's what they'd like you to be thinking, its an easy excuse but record profits belie the truth.


In the 5 and a half years I've had my WRX, I've pumped in about 10,000 gallons, so that 10 cents adds up to about $1000.

But it isn't 10 cents, since 2001 gas has gone up closer to about $1-$1.50/gallon, so the sheer profit the oil companies have gotten off my gas purchases alone probably approaches $10,000.

 

i got 22 mpg the other day

woot
