And some of you complain about gas prices... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/lmao.gif)

Over the last week in Montreal, it's been ~ 5$/gallon.
and btw, Montreal is among the most expensive in Canada... to make it worse.

I couldn't help but notice. Everytime YOUR prices went up.....so did OURS. I believe you guys are pulling our prices up. So stop it. At least now I know who to blame this on. It isn't the Saudis, OPEC, Chavez, Congress, the Senate, illegal Immigrants, or Bush. It's our neighbors to the North! You sneaky rascals.

Of course we complain about gas prices! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The real question is, why don't you move south of the border and pay less for gas??

I just paid $3.83/gallon for diesel in this wonderful state. It's getting more painful every week.

Maybe I'll ditch the truck and buy a SmartCar - that's sure to tow the Z28...

[Rob Hood]

I saw $3.97 for diesel here in San Jose... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)

[Crazy Canuck]

i paid over $5 / gallon the last week

[Pilot]

Psh, I pay $5.25/gal. for aviation fuel here..... and I burn it at 8-10 gph!

I drove by a gas station today in one of the more well-to-do suburbs and it was $3.39/gal for regular and $4.09/gal for diesel. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I'm really glad I didn't go dirt racing or build a high compression motor. 108 octane was $6.75/gal two years ago at Eldora. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Diesel around here in NY is running 3.85-4.00 a gallon. Regular gas is 3.30ish. 60 to 70 cents a gallon more for diesel is just wrong!!!!!! But with that said my car owner just went out and bought a diesel tow rig to replace the v-10 one we use. 99 crew cab 8ft box dulley, cant get any bigger than that. I can here it now when we go to the track that its cost him xxx to go.... And he doesnt like to travel far!!!!!!!

What amazes me are the driving habits I see. I live at a "T" intersection. It is unbelieveable how many people floor it as soon as the car ahead clears the intersection. I live on the road that is intersected, (the straight), and I just watch them go. Makes no difference what they're driving either. A Honda with a fart pipe, an SUV, dump truck....I really love the lifted 4x4's with the obligatory 3" chrome dual tips, towing a bass boat with a 250hp outboard, just hauling ass. Three dollars a gallon, and folks are driving like it's half that much. We're getting screwed, but at what point do people change their driving styles? I'm no saint, but I hate to waste money.

i'm talking about 87octane, not even 91-92 nor 94

1. I think we're only screwed because certain political groups won't let us get to oil in our own country.
2. However, once we (collectively) run the middle east out of crude, we (and Russia) will become the oil suppliers to the world.
3. I won't change my driving style at any price point - It ain't a waste of money if you enjoy it.

And I did happen to notice last night on the news a story about gas prces. This lady was complaining as she filled her Pathfinder to the tune of $90 or something:
1) Gas costs too much, and
2) Bush should do something (like the government should control every thing)

All this while holding a $4.00 16oz COFFEE.

Check my math, but isn't that $32/gallon? That's what burns my a$$, complete ignorance about what's really important.

[Crazy Canuck]

i agree about ppl bitching about it, while paying 1$ for a can of soda.
What's involved in a soda vs oil refinery ? seriously... why is Coca-Cola way more expensive than fuel ?
I guess we don't notice it since we don't buy 20 gallons at a time.

[rpoz-29]

Yeah, but your driving style probably doesn't include blasting away at wot EVERY time you have a reason to accelerate. I mean a guy driving a 14 mpg 4X4 truck like a boy racer? Maybe it's an age thing. If coke went up in price as fast as oil has, I would simply quit drinking it. I can't do that with fuel. I have a hint for all of the candidates still in the Presidential Race. If you want to win, offer to drill for oil on the White House lawn if there is reason to believe it's there!

Howdy,

offer to drill for oil on the White House lawn if there is reason to believe it's there!

Yeah, lets keep ignoring that oil is a limited resource we're burning through way faster than it can sustain. So we'll drill for oil, and prices will be ok for another year.

Give me the fuel cell cars. You guys can keep your relics. :-)

Heehee!

My Avalanche (non-4x4) sees more WOT than my Corvette. But I am only 41. My dad on the other hand still spins the tires in his Buick AND his Z06. I only hope I can still do that when I'm in my mid-70s.

And I could be with Mark on the fuel-cell thing, but I don't know about hydrogen. No one seems to be putting 2 and 2 together:
IF we have global warming, and rising seas, what happens when we add all the water created as exhaust from millions of autos? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif)

The problem with fuel cell cars is the hydrogen. Where do you get it? If you get it from water, you are using electricity (and a lot of it). And where does electricity come from? Fossil fueled power plants (a lot of it anyway).
