Cheap(er) Gas

[Jerry]

I have belonged to Sam's Club for many years, but preferred Costco. The Eden Prairie Costco was hard to get to.  They built a new Costco in Burnsville where Grossman Chev was, so I joined.  Filled the car up today for $3.30.9. The gas at the SA down the street was $3.49.9, so after about 17 fills, my membership is paid for.  Just something for discussion.

Burnin Daylight is supposed to be finished today and when I pick her up at Eaton Quade I will take her straight to the pump to fill up with high octane.  With gas prices shooting up the way they have here in OK the last 2 weeks it will be a pricey trip trip to the pump.  We don't have costco here in OK. But we can still purchase 100% gasoline.

I just got $10.00 worth of gas free with the BP Rewards promotion.  Of course I had to buy 4 fill-ups (8 gallon minimum per fill-up)  at BP to qualify to receive the $10 gift card.  Anything helps.

gas prices shooting up

I'd advise everyone to keep their tanks close to full as possible. Mebbe fill up yer gas cans too. We have stations here in town raising the price twice a day. Now's the time to stock up.

There were some purty sharp people saying we'd see $4 bucks a gallon even before this latest bs in the middle east started. Now they say $5 bucks by the end of summer. I have a tendency to believe em.

One has to wonder just how much more of this crap Americans are going to tolerate.

Dang!!  This is probably the wrong time to think about selling the 460 cubic inch fuel pump.

Doug, The price of oil is set on the open market. There isn't a shortage, only a fear of a shortage. Some of this is caused by a colder than normal winter (world wide), and some by the cheaper Dollar. (oil and gold are "Dollar Based") I could tell you what caused it, and how to cure it, but you won't like it.

A few weeks ago, we started hearing rumors of $5 a gallon gasoline.  I didn't really hear a lot of reasons why.  Kinda like they were trying to get us used to the idea.  Soften us up so we'd be better able to stomach it when it got here.  And then, voil?, unrest in Libya.  Gas jumps 30? in three days.  Just what we've been waiting for.

If it goes over $4 a gallon watch the american public panic and start giving away their large PU's, SUV's ect., and then turn around and pay top dollar for a small car.  Hey I just spent/lost 12K selling my Tahoe and getting this great little Corolla. Look at all the money I'll save on gas

I bought this 1.8 liter Celica in 2002 with a 5 speed manual transmission and get 34 MPG. Should last me the rest of my life. Sporty economy. If course, we need the big Ford Crown Victoria for pulling the boat and the 6 cylinder Mercury outboard gets about 4 MPG at the higher RPMs.

Your crown vic should not be too bad on gas. When I had my vic it would get 26 on the freeway. The Marauder gets 22 at best..........Still worth it though!
