No more gas

Sunday, August 17, 2003 by Dreamdesign3d | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Well the NE US may have lost power but for the last week Arizona has been with out gas. They’re saying another week or so maybe more before it returns. As for now there are lines for any gas station that has gas up to 2 miles long. And the ones that do have gas are raising their prices fast. Today one went from $1.62 to $2.09 in 18 minuets.

It costs me about 75$ CA to fill up the 90 litres gas tank on my Chevy Venture. Gas just passed from .72$ to .82$ in one week. The excuse is the blackout from last week. Yeah, like I believe that one second.

Motion: I calculated once. The price difference between a hibrid and a regular gasoline car is about 10,000$ CA. If I save 100$/month in gas (that's a big IF - I really don't drive that much, it would most likely save around 50$ in reality), it would take me more than 8 years to break even. Which is probably the time it would take me to buy a new car then.  Not really worth it yet, until the prices drop.

I can't help but wonder after reading your post paxx...and what I've heard about other cities...I can't help but think they're all coming up with some phoney balogney to jack up prices. Something is seeming VERY screwy!

Glad to hear it didn't hit you MrDigital. We have gas , but it's only regular in my area. One good thing about getting laid off...my tank is lasting a while
Ahhh ya gotta makes jokes about the sucky stuff.

Oh man. Gas prices around here ( WA state ) have shot up to around 1.80-2.10 USD, depending on what type and company gas is from.

No not on a well... geezzzzz I'm not that old David

I have a well, and it's only 3 years old.  It's how people who are not on city water get water

Gas jumped here in Michigan, too, for no explained reason.  It's up $.35+ from last week.  I filled up a week ago Tuesday at $1.49.  The same station is now at $1.88.  It's just so wrong.....
