We can complain all we want.. i've just learned to except it. Me, personally, cant do anything to change that. I'll be getting something that has great gas mileage soon. I find myself filling up every couple days, not cause its going empty, just cause I try and take advange of the price at that moment cause if I wait til I go empty in a week, gas would have gone up 2-3 times. Its sad to see gas jump up everyday to couple of days

This sucks royally! Something has to give! Any news cause I dont have time to read a paper or watch TV <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

On a side note, I have a bike too. I better get full leathers, heated panties and learn to ride in ice and snow

News? Yeah, it is going to get even higher.

My dad just gave me my old Montero back. Chelsea will drive that to school and work and I will start driving her car. My black 91 is a POS and not reliable for her to drive. My old blue one has 60k less miles. I think it is good enough.


I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

Michael, you must be going to Chevron or one of the other top tier gas companies. Get a Costco card. Much cheaper and they get their gas from the same tankers that refill chevron tanks. I paid $3.95 for 91 octane yesterday. Still a +$50 fill up. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

The worst is yet to come. They said the national average is going to be $4.00 a gallon so out here in california is going to be around $4.50 or so and that will really suck. I also remember awhile ago they said they found enough oil in the rocky mountains to get us off the dependcy of forin oil but they wouldnt tap it cause of were its at.And what ever happen to oil in alaska and the oil feilds in taft and bakersfeild area.
