Unhappy Got gas ?

Filled up the Porsche at the Mobil station this morning, $2.33 a gallon. This is the most expensive gas I've purchased EVER! This is like ground hog day (1974) except the last time you can only go to the station on odd/even days, it was $0.75 a gallon and my OLDS 442 got 7 mpg. It's time for that 3rd car, Toyota PRIUS !!

if you take inflation into account gas prices today are not that bad...its just the rate oif increase over hte past few weeks that is too sudden for people to adjust to...

Try this: Furnace Creek Ca.

And this picture was a couple of weeks ago. I would imagine that it is over $3.00 there now.

I doubt it will end anytime soon. No new refineries in the U.S. for the last 20 years combined with god knows how many new SUV's hitting the streets everyday.... Supply and Demand, gotta love commodities!

Two hundred and twenty six dollars?!?! Holy $hit!

With a 16 gallon tank that's like $14 a gallon?! Where was this?
