The worse thing I seen today was somehow a rumor got started that gasoline was going to run out and stations would close for the Labor Day weekend. People were going NUTS blocking flow of traffic, driving in front of vehicles to get into the stations, traffic was backed up all over the area.
My pickup truck holds 30 gallions of gasoline which I wouild run down to quarter tank but now I go half tank now. Alot of stations were holding at $2.99 a gallion but prices prices were going up has people pumped gas.
I keep feeling that its going to get worse then the 70s gas lines which I got caught in when I started driving. Stealing gas, robbery, fights or worse.

A recent study showed that if you take inflation into account, the gas prices are cheaper than they were in 1920-1950. Of course, there has been this recent spike in prices. I'm sure it will go back down though.

Around here, people have been going crazy filling up their cars and stuff because of the rumors of the gas shortages or whatever. And of course, as a result, the stations are empty. Earlier today we went to get some gas in our car, and the stations in the area were ALL out of regular and medium grade gasoline. The only gas they had left was PREMIUM. And the lines were still crazy.

Stupid people.

Edit: Purplemoose, if you read earlier posts, you'd see that coffee is a very bad alternative to gasoline. It's about 10x more expensive. Unless of course, it's at least 10x more EFFICIENT than gasoline. Hah.

I know someone who built an electric car. He's really into that stuff, and it can go at racing speeds. If anyone is interested in getting information about building your own electric car, PM me. (Obviously, it requires a lot of work.)

Sorry

Postby **Slater** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 11:32 pm

lol, ok

Yeah, I gotta go fill my saturn up tomorrow... small tank, but I drive it to and fro SFSU 5 days a week... about a 35 mile round trip.

You guys under $3 are lucky it was $3.40 here in some places close. But the BP two blocks away was $3.18 last I checked. Glad I filled up before all of this, but I'm at like a quarter tank now...

Oh well I could care less really it won't kill me. If this is all I have to deal with while hundreds of thousands of people are homeless and have absolutely nothing left now then I feel lucky.

Yeah, talk about it... cars are a luxury, we should be grateful that we even have them.

Edit: 1000

apparently they have gone down to $2.99 here.

Postby **blkmage** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 5:29 am

It worried me a bit last night when I was going home and the price actually went a bit up to about $1.339/L.

I feel really bad for my teacher... she has to commute from an entirely different county every day to get to school. She said she goes through a tank reeeeeaallly quickly.

Postby **dragonshimmer** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 6:49 am

Yay! Gas finally went back down to about $3.05, which is good. I'm probably going to have to fill up again before the end of Monday :/ *kicks truck* You're so awful on gas!!!

I'm working on a method for teleportation. With my luck I'll get stuck in an alternate dimension or something though, or all of me will get there but my head.

The gas prices are terrible though. We had to cancel a family trip this weekend, and then cancel the compensation for the family trip as well. (Meeting my uncle for canoeing.) I mean, the last time they asked people to conserve gas like this was World War II.

I say we all move to Canada.

Last time I checked it was $3.09 but it might of dropped since then. I echo in saying with Yojimbo (and everyone who said this as well since I skipped over it) that I'm glad the least of my worries is soaring gas prices whereas for the people in New Orlean, Bilioux, and surrounding areas wish that the least of their worries is soaring gas prices.

True.

3.30ish in Maine.

I'm now laughing at myself a year ago saying "What!? Gas is a 1.90!? That's absurd."

*shakes head*

I have a used '98 Cadilac SLS (or whatever the initials on it are). I love that car...but it takes premium...>_< thank God my parent's agreed to pay for 18 gallons of gas per month for me...

If you're moving for the gas prices, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

Yup! Pricing are crazily rising here too! I miss the days when it was like 40 cents a litre. What happened?? And yet we all thought going up to like 70 was high :/ Now here it's about, 116 or so and rising :/ (Although this town is cheaper than many surrounding areas). Still... we're pretty povo around here so these prices don't help^^

Hmmm with the converting of currancy, I'd say we're prob around the same price as US... maybe you guys are a tad more though in some areas^^

Postby **agasfas** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 9:27 pm

Today when I was working the gas station section, the gas price dropped from 2.87 to 2.72 for unleaded. So we were very busy. But I'm hearing that will go up tomorrow.

Postby **Icarus** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 9:48 pm

Two off topics before I get to gas prices.

A: Dragonshimmer changed colors!

Blkmage: good sig.

lastly, gas is almost a uniform $2.99 per gallon.

Canada solves everybody's problems. :grin:

I went to fill up on Thursday, and there were lines all the way out to the street. They had some of the store workers out there directing traffic, and if anyone took too long at the pumps, people would get out of their cars and glare at them. I was afraid this one lady who lost her card was going to get jumped. They were really mad.

Here, all you have to do is walk down the street and see a 20cent differential between stations.

Well to ease the pain of Gas prices move to Squamish, B.C. and you will see that the Gas is $0.99/L.
