WTF ??? Gas... Sigh.....
I understand all the political ramifications of gas prices...
But Jesus H. Christ 21 cents in a single day ??? At 7-11 no less.. I know that's all Citgo and Joe for Oil Bull ****.. But 21 cents ?? In a f'ing day ????
I;ve got six five gallon gas containers in the shed. I'm gonna fill em all up tomorrow, for my lawn tractor and other manly man " play toys".
I'll have to pay $5 a gallon to travel, but I won't have to pay $5 a gallon to mow my lawn.

Be glad you do not drive a diesel
If you had ever told me diesel would be twenty cents more then super unleaded - I would have laughed.
Not being smart - watch storing gas too long. Heard the E-10 breaks down in about 60 to 90 days unless treated.

If we pay this much for gas, we should not have to have than damend E10 anyway....I have already replaced one engine becuase of that...I would be happy to pay a little more for ethanol-less gas...
I hate the hysteria...Its all an excuse for someone to make money.....Egypt has a bad president prices go up, Egypt might become a democracy prices go up, Libya may lose a guy we have been trying to take down for 30 years, prices go up, Al Qaida is doing drugs, prices go up, we have electric cars, prices go up, the weather is good one week and bad the next, prices go up...
There is only one common theme here..Prices go up and somebody in some foreign country is counting his billions along with the few guys that run Exxon and Chevron, while the rest of us get stuck paying even more taxes...Gas prices rising like this are only one thing, a tax on our work and leisure travel....
I just hope to heck that they start to go back down over the next couple of weeks...
Sorry, I tend to rant.....

Wish I could find the info.
Remember reading how much the oil companies make for each penny fuel goes up. It was millions and millions.
While ranting - What the F... is up with the 9/10 ? Just round it up. Love to pump exactly one gallon and demand a 1/10 cent in change.

Dammit; I knew this was going to happen. I buy a new 4x4 truck and.....
Just look what happened in 2008 when I put all my savings in the stock market ![EEK!](images/smilies/eek.gif) .
As soon as I buy an electric car, Alaska will begin drilling in Anwar and gas will be 32 cents a gallon.

Well then sell that truck and buy that electric car ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif) I'm ready for some 32 cents per gallon gas, oops make that 44 cents per gallon. They want to add 12 cents more tax per gallon, hell if gas was that cheap they would make it 1 or 2 bucks a gallon additional tax.

Jay Leno, lover of cars, loves electric cars. because saving fuel is what makes it possible for 700hp supercars, etc to remain viable.
I suppose it applies to our boats as well. Average non-boater would probably be appalled at our mpg. But it's all these folks driving priuses, (sailing - ![EEK!](images/smilies/eek.gif) ), etc that 'save' enough fuel that the rest of us can enjoy our thing. hey, no reason not to at least return their friendly waves and smiles,...

When's the last time you heard a petroleum company claim losses in quarter? (Not counting BP last year.)

i hope it gets better towards spring but i think that's traditional season for gas prices to go up; the claim being more people driving.
i forget the percentage, but i believe the majority of each barrel of oil is refined to become gasoline. and as much as i hate the e10, can you think of another way to reduce gasoline consumption by 10% when no one wants to give up a thing?
i keep thinking that the sooner i can talk all you guys into sailing lessons, the cheaper it will be for me to run my boat,...
