[Jibber]

I agree.

93 here as well.........and it can't be as bad as it was 3 or 4 years ago when it was 5 bucks a gallon.

My daily driver takes 91+. I drive a lot too, so it costs me $100-150/week on gas....soon to be $200/week

Then Ed wonders why i don't want to drive all the time :)

93 here too!! I only run Sunoco Ultra. I am getting about 13MPG
if I stay out of the boost I prob get about 15, I like the boost way too much to worry about it, so it is what it is !!!

This is the driving factor in my switching focus from my notch to my SVO. Wont be long til diesel is 4 bucks+ per gallon. Compared to some of you,it's only costing me 60-80 a week to commute to work. Hoping to get alot better mileage in the SVO. My diesel isn't too bad as long as keep my foot out of it. Looking forward to riding the scooter a bit more also to save on gas money

Thats funny, Wil. I also thought about getting ansvo because of gas prices but my issue is I only have room for one car. Not sure I am ready for only having a 4 cyl fox.

Ian, pretty sure it only hit 430ish couple years ago and its very likely to be there by this summer again or more. Or were you talking diesel?

Well this is a new approach to increasing gas prices. Last time they hit us with a constant news borage of steady price increases.......causing panic, and the sensation that all must & shall convert to alternative fuel concepts, electric car, solar cars, and everything in between.

No we get this technique.......planting the seed that $4-$5 per gallon is the anticipated target, as if this is suppose to soften the blow some how, all the while the STEADY & RAPID increase in gas prices are being posted nation wide



I really hope that the American people speak up.......I mean enough is enough. This nation has to stop bending over, and speak up as a whole.

One thing I do know, that me here complaing about this online isn't going to do the trick.

Question: After this nasty deal, "What comes next?????" Trend shows that we just keep bowing dow, which means....."oh that must be acceptable, let's hit the general public again!"

The price of gas is going up so fast that even government reports can't keep up with it. A few days after the federal Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report that the average price of regular gas in the U.S. is $3.19 per gallon -- marking the highest average February price since the government started keeping track in 1990 -- the AAA fuel gauge report on Thursday put the national average at $3.22. The price rose three cents per gallon in a day.

California, which has some of the most expensive gas in the country, and has seen regular go for $3.65 a gallon. Blame the turmoil in the Mideast.

It's funny how gas stations get shipments every few days or week or so, but they instantly raise prices when they can. The gas in their tanks was bought and paid for, but they jack up the price as if they already paid the higher premium.

But when prices fall...it takes weeks because they "gotta use up what's in the tank that they paid a high price for"

Now that we're wound up about gas prices, here's a few cartoons. Perhaps some for news letter (hint).
