4 bucks, and it is still somewhat of a bargain. Consider this, my truck weighs 5000 lbs and it contains approximately $80K of equipment I need for work. For $4 I can move that 18 miles from where it sets whenever I want to. I have in my lifetime paid $0.25 for a gallon of premium and gotten a free BC drinking glass with a fill-up.
When gas prices get too high for people to waste fuel driving around shopping mall parking lots looking for a space close to the store so they don't have to walk.
Sorry about that last part but I am starting my 3rd week here in Orlando and I am just p*ssed off!

[Brian Moffet]

I happen to agree.  The fewer people driving around alone in their Hummers, the safer I am on my Vision...

[Night Vision]

remember the '73 "oil embargo" when the price doubled into $0.50 range?

[motoracer8]

I live in California, premium has gone beyond $4.00, reg now $3.75/$3.85, not far off. I have a friend that lives in London, gas there is almost $10.00 a gal, Thats $50.00 to fill the average motorcycle.

Boy, and I thought Exxon was screwing us.  BP is really putting it to their own.

Gas is not getting more expensive; money is becoming worth less.

$0.02
"No price increase in 58 years!"

1 liter of gas is about a $1 here in the US

1 liter of beer is about $1.90

1 liter of bottled water at a gas station is what? $2? $3? (I don't buy much water)

1 liter of Scotch is $50 (high test)

I'm glad I don't run on Scotch  :D :D

[Brian Moffet]

I'm going by San Francisco prices, where I now live.  My last fillup of 87 was at 3.96.  (I think that was Wednesday...)

[kwells]

hey packman
is there anywhere to rent a bike out there?
I am coming there in sept for about 8 days and wanted to do some tooling around.

[packman85]

When I checked online it was about 250-300 a day to rent a bike.  However I saw a bike outside a shop on the north shore in Haleewa Town that said "Rent Me 99$ Special"  Dont know if that was a day price or hour price, looked like a harley.  Im leaving tomarrow After noon, Back to Washington, and Its Snowing there, in the middle of April, Im so Pissed, I was hoping to have riding weather.

I got my Aerostitch catalog today and it has a T-shirt in it that shows a gas pump holding the nozzle to itself like a gun with a splat coming out the other side.  I may get one.

[IAIN]

should be

$ 1.85
$ 1.91
$ 1.99
$ 1.51

oop's put the decimal point in the wrong place.

Iain

[Walt_M.]

Yikes! But a misplaced decimal will do that. In the US, due to refinery capabilities and increasing demand, diesel is higher than gasoline. It has been over $4 per gallon for some time now while we are paying around $3.40 for 87.

[vadasz1]

What really amazes me is that when the nes are covering the rise of gas prices and comparing them to European prices , they fail to mention that here in North America (CANADA, USA ) our lowest grade of gasoline is 87 octane.  While in Europe, NZ, England and anywhere else the lowest grade is 91 octane.  So why don't we also have 91 octane as our lowest grade?

Ever wonder why cars,bikes make more horsepower across the pond?  Not just because of different emmissions but also because their lowest fuel rating is stronger than our lowest fuel rating.  If we had 91 octane as a cheap fuel than allour engines would run better and most likely longer.  The hell with additives in the fuel at the pump.  I think that the gasoline should be as close to raw form as possible and let the owner put a can of what ever additives/cleaners he wants into his fuel every fourth or fifth fillup.  I think the price should be cheaper because there wouldn't be the need to mix all those dtergents/additives/cleaners into each brand of fuel.

But hey, the price won't drop because every stockk investing monkey will put more money into oil stocks instead of investing in other stock that can help USA and Canada come back to being the juggernaughts they were.  Could be that it's just our time to get a good whipping ang have our eyes open to the way we were/are wasting our precious oil supplies.

BTW, I wonder if anybody has tried to findout if a motorcycle motor can be made to rum on diesel or propane?

I'll get off my soap box now............... ;D
