They say next year gas will reach seven dollars a gallon. Some thing will certainly give way.

hang onto your hats but even I have been pondering buying a motorcycle, but i want a harley, the gas prices and the insurance and pmts.=cheaper and too think of the fun, there are a lot of women that come through my town on motorcycles, i like the leggings thing they have going on, think i want me a pair

Blame Gdub. If you put it into perspective, yes it's high, yes it's a pain, but since I use almost 720 gallons a year to just get to my work, 80 miles per day, the difference in cost is roughly now $65.00 per month out of my pocket. I try not to dwell on this as it's been going on for years, the oil companies, Entron, every one wants to steal your money. I guess the only real thing you can do is change your life to keep from being gouged, don't drive, let your house get too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, they have us by the balls and there isn't anything the administration here is doing about it other than beg Saudi to produce more gas but we have sufficient oil here to meet our needs, yet the folks that think they know it all, don't want off shore drilling, using the oil we have. I don't agree with that but I can't change it.

Fortunately I can retire soon and maybe move to Venezuela, $.12 a gallon, nice weather, maybe a golf course and hopefully some Pina Coladas on the beach.

Here we are fortunate to have gas reaching $4.00 per gallon when it is so much higher around the world

I live in upstate NY, and we are at 3.99.9 per. gal. Everything is going up! accept wages.
We just voted on our new contract, we get 3% more wile inflation climbs at 43%. How is anyone supose to pay bills and eat too?
But I heard that it was tripple what we pay for gas over in the UK. Don't have a clue how they can do it!

Chaps, I think the legging things are called chaps. My town has a female motorcycle club/gang/groop. The glorious ladies biker club,,, or named somthing like that,,,I forget.

A Harley would be nice but i'm still paying for my gas guseler. (two more dang years, ack)

It was 4.05 now it is 4.15 ouch...and climbing, and that's just regular gas...yep they have us over the barrel.

Yeah!! a oil barrel.

Ethanol?

Pure Grain!!!!!

Around 3.75 here but food is so expensive. They want $3.29 for one cantalope!!! And they were small too!!!!

To my surprise I did spell it correctly. If you want information on it go to wicapedia under ethanol fuel. It is being mixed with gas in my area. An adverage gallon of gas has ten percent ethanol.

Grain is pure untill oxygen gets to it, then it looses one percent or two proof.

I just heard on the news today that people have been stealing old grease from restaraunts here and turning into some kind of fuel....Always somebody with a bright....

It's called Biofuel.

Do we just pour it in, or do we have to convert the motor?, and if so how much is the cost?

Yeah that's it....



I dunno how to make it...they didn't give instructions on the news for fear the whole city would be out robbing all the restaraunts....


The cost is free if you steal it.....

It's called biodiesel, and it's legit, people are getting the used oil from restaurants that would be thrown away and turning it into fuel. Downside is the exhuast smells like french fries, make everyone hungry all the time, they pull into a drive thru and waste more fuel!

Most of the gas around here is 10% ethanol. I paid 3.65 the other day to fill up, $60 for a 17 gal tank is obsene! There's nothing more I can do to save, I'm already cutting down as much as possible on unnecessary driving.

Most of the suggestions I've read about saving gas are BS. Like not filling up, thnk about it, every time you stop and crank back up you use more gas, would have to negate any miniscule savings you might make on MPG. Driving less, driving slower, taking off slower, are just common sense, which is the main thing that seems to be in short supply nowadays.

Well apparently here...whatever they are stealing is worth thousands of dollars...don't know why...I would think they just throw it out anyway!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm sure it's legit...these thieves are just trying to get something for nothing and will likely end up wrecking their cars or something!!!!!!!!!

it is true though, it has happened here too, happens all the time i dont know the process though.

Yeah I know...I just heard it on our local radio news today....guess people are desperate with the prices the way they are.....
