Finally! I filled up with diesel last night at $4.49/gal. It was $4.79 at that station last week.

Yea, gas was down to $3.54 here, but went up (though oil dropped) and is floating back into the $3.50 range. It's a start. Only $2.00 more to go (aaaaaahahhahahahahhahahahahaha.....like we'll see that again).

ALL OF YOU SUCK!!!

Seems in the Bay Area we are the LAST to see prices drop....and when they do, they NEVER get to where you all talk about.....and the FIRST to see prices rise....and when they do, they are ALWAYS higher than any you complain about......

We are still in the high $4 range.....

Randy,

I hear that Ohio is still taking new residents and we have Mid-Ohio.

Pack the truck and get moving.

Go east young man, go east....

Oil futures speculators suck. They drove the price up speculating increased consumption over the middle of the summer, but the reserves actually increased instead of decreased.

I filled up my truck up 2 weeks ago for $3.82/gallon. Drove right past all the stations in the nicer parts of town showing $4.09/gallon and filled up at a name brand station in the ghetto. I love ghetto gas.

Ghetto Gas

That's an awesome name, actually. I'm going to start a whole chain of them... That could be my first radio commercial.

Hydrocarbons in the 'hood

If you're going to do that, just call the place "Stop and rob".

Here in Santa Cruz, Costco 87 was $4.15 yesterday. It's come down about $.50 in the last 2 weeks. My price hedge has been to put $30 in the tank every 3-4 days - when it starts heading up again I'll fill the 34g tank.

they been dropping a lot... now they are ~ 5.20$/gallon for regular 87 octane instead of ~ $6 a few weeks back

heh, I have absolutly no sympathy for california's high gas prices.. you voted that upon yourselves with that speciality boutique gas.

Its been said standardizing gasoline nationwide would drop prices by 30 cents...

It's so cheap... you should feel lucky.

$3.62 this morning for 89 octane. On the way out of town, I saw $3.42 at Sam's club (member price). Stopping there on the way home.

$5 Gal and 130 miles every day or two, towing somekind of trailer(5K to 10K)!

And I live in oil country!Oh yeah I drill for oil too!

I filled up on the way home today. $3.95/gal for 87, $4.85/gal for diesel... glad all my stuff runs on gas.

Uh oh, the ol' gas vs. diesel argument again! Mark Andy will be along any minute...

We didn't vote on it. The "People's Republik of Kalifornia" decided they know better than the people do.

You guys live there. Vote the morons out, or, move to Ohio with Randy. There's room here for all of you and far fewer crazies.

Trust me, I've thought of moving many times. I'm here for my wife.

The hippies are still a powerful group out here. Us logical people are out-voted every year.

I'm in oregon... so I guess i might not be able to sympathize, but I can empathize...

Still $3.89/gal for 85 octane at the station nearest my house. 91 octane is still over $4.

START DRILLING ALREADY!!!!

I've been working straight for 3 months except for that one race weekend

I was more refering to the government opening up offshore and alaskan drilling. If they do this, the mere threat of the additional supply will likely make prices plummet.

Or we could just tax the crap out of the oil companies and give everyone tax rebates to buy fuel with. Yeah, that will work. The oil companies would never think of raising prices to cover the additional tax, would they?

So much for a capitalist society.

We're the government and we're here to help...

this morning, fuel went up ~0.45-0.50$ / gallon here.
So we're @ 5.50$/gallon for regular and 6.00$/gallon for super

Howdy,



Nah, the hell with it. If folks want to waste money, have at it.

Mark

I hope something happens...

I've been in the boating industry for 10 years now, and we've been on a slow steady slide for 3 years now. This past year has been BAD. We just received word of two weeks shutdown this month, and most are at 4 days per week.

This will give me an oppurtunity to get some work related stuff done that I don't normally have time for, and one of those weeks I was off for my honeymoon anyways......But still........Most folks are quite nervous


BTW the other day we tested a boat that I put a Merc 525 in. N/A big block......That things consumes........................ready...................50 GPH.....On average. And the boat we put it in will actually use more than that by about 5-10% How many of those do you suppose we can sell?

I guessed I missed all those discussions....So I'm guessing that a gas truck saves BIG bucks over a diesel in both long and short term savings.......Any numbers Mark?
