Just got back from Morro Bay, CA and every where I stopped for gas it was between $2.74 and $2.87 a gal and that was for the cheap stuff and I can't run that gas in my truck so I was paying between $2.87 and $2.99 a gallon. And you all think you have it rough. Please, come to California. :lol:

Have a good day.

Well gas isnt cheap here neither.. 1.25 Euro/liter = or 1.50 USD per liter
so per gallon at 6.00usd per gallon or little over... :cry:

This weekend I was watching "Trucks" on Spike TV and that guy used 30 gallons of vegtable oil to make 20 gallons of bio-diesel for 70 cents a gallon. And it smells like french fries when it burns. This site has a picture of the device they used. It was pretty cool and 70 cents a gallon, that takes me back a few years!

Had a guy come up beside my dock once, on a boat that was powered by coconut oil. He was going around the world, (you run into lots of people that say they are doing a circumnavigation when you live on the water) Anyway the boat really smelled like popcorn, like at the movies. He told me he didn't know if he would make it though because the smell was making him sick. He came from Hawaii, through the Panama Canal and up through the Caribbean. Most sailors go the other way around. Wonder what happened to him.

Just after Katrina the gas cost for 87 octain got up over a $1.20 per liter.
Thats 4.20 a US gallon after conversion.
Right now its about $.85 per liter.
Never could figure how a hurricane in a different country, 2000 miles away can affect out gas prices, oil prices and natural gas prices.
And the kicker is we produce all of the stuff ourselves

Hmmmmm :QM

Because it's the same oil companies trying to get the most mileage out of one disaster. They'll come up with a new one next year.

I think it was just a ploy to push the price past $2.00, they would not do it for the longest time. The price hovered just below it for the longest time but when they went past it, they really went past it. Now if we see gas for $2.00 we think it's cheap.

My neighbor installed a Biodesiel set up in his mercedes the car cost him $1200 the Bio desiel conversion $700, 30 gallons of vegetable oil a week from the Chinese resurant down the street FREE! The resturant usually has to pay to have the oil hauled away so they are happy he comes by. The car can run on regular desiel if need be or you can buy soy oil from Costco for $2.20 a gallon. Side note it does smell like Chinese food when he drives by. And its not reccomended to use oil from the Donut Shop ... it attracts Cops!

Heres one for the books "gas company makes 10.4 BILLION dollars in 4th quarter alone". Largest ever 1/4 earnings gain!!

Unreal.

Driving to work this morning gas was $0.83 per litre
Driving home $0.96 per litre.
For you guys south of us thats a $0.50 per gallon increase.
I guess the oil companies dont like Wednesdays.

Bastards!

Given the current useage that equates to about six cents a gallon profit. It's all about demand.
