i hope gas prices gets to $5 a gallon so there will be fighting in the streets

[Sue]

Gas gets up that high...I won't be able to afford to fly in a plane and will need you to send me my broom you bought for me. You did get the broom in the divorce settlement, right?

[OU812]

and the mop

[Sue]

Yes...how could I forget my mop! Tim...you really know how to make a woman feel special. Don't let anyone tell you different.

[OU812]

you are the gypsy the mopping queen

[love2sing]

yeah...I just get stuck cleaning his dirty underwear!

[Wakddood]

I just got gas at 3.73 thought that was cheap. The gas prices are killing me 'cause I drive for a living. I try to stick to the car instead of the vans. I feel sorry for the guys who have to drive them all the time. All those people that have to drive the gas guzzlers for work are hurting the worst. My neighbor drives a work van and said he paid $140 to fill it. Ouch.
Something has to be done!:pissed:

[OU812]

i never clean them u no that

[Wakddood]

i never clean them u no that
just throw em' out and get new. L2S will never be able to get out the skid marks and other stains.

[OU812]

i remember when they were white

[Wakddood]

i remember when they were white many years ago
all the more reason. you should buy military brown so you won't notice the skids.

[love2sing]

This is really starting to get disgusting...just go commando!

Damn it Mark use your pooper scooper. I almost stepped in that. :yuk:

[love2sing]

just paid $52 to fill up my Hyundai.

[Wakddood]

how much did you pay a gallon? the cheapest I've seen is $3.71 on Wantagh Ave. in Nassau Co. By me the cheapest is $3.77 on Rt. 112 in Farmingville. Gas went down a little recently but that won't last long.:(

[love2sing]

$3.77 per gallon. And Rakish didn't even clean my glass.

[SHOELUVRSIS]

i dont fill my tank anymore - it's huge theres no point
i put in 20-30 every so often and i ride closer to e than i ever have -
so be it
it'll hit 4 a gall b4 summers end

[Wakddood]

there go the prices again. the stations are at $3.89 a gallon by me. luckily the $3.77 station hadn't gone up yet so I topped off. $40 bucks for a half tank, OUCH! Saw on the news that the sign co. that makes the numbers for the gas stations is going crazy making 4's and 5's. this is ridiculous.:pissed:

[Zephead]

Just filled up my car today and it was 4.01. My car requires 93 Octane :sad_3:

that's cheap for hi test. I know a few who said f@&# it and started using regular in their premium only vehicles.

[SHOELUVRSIS]

can't afford the gas can't afford the car

[Doc]

Oil hit $123 a barrel today on predictions it will go to $200. Lace up the sneakers, inflate the tires on your bicycle, cause we ain't seen nuthin yet!!

[ryank]

This is really hurting me. I drive around and cut yards for a living. I'm starting to replace my far away customers with ones in, or very close to my subdivision. It was a hard thing to replace customers, but the time and gas factor just isn't working for me anymore. I can't keep my needle off empty - B.S.

[mark]

$200 a barrel! Then well just have to start charging them M..therF..kers $20 for a stalk of celery! Don't like it? Grow your own on your barren a.s desert that you call your home! Your country looks like a fu.king moon picture with buncha Obie Wahn Kanobi's walking around! :fuyou_1:

[Zephead]

Doc where did you see the $200 prediction. I use bloomberg at work for our investments but ony saw it predicted to hit 125/barrell this week. I also heard Chrysler is going to offer cards to new car buyers through June that cap gas at 2.99/gallon for 3 years/36,000 miles. I hope they have a few traders on hand to hedge the oil futures or can you say bankruptcy!!

[SHOELUVRSIS]

heres an idea - best way to save on gas?
SLOW DOWN -
sometimes it kills me to do 10 over the limit but people r blowin
by me on the lie with their suv's -
dont bitch to me about gas prices

I've been trying to do that as well and yes, it is tough to slow down when you are used to speeding. It really does help though. Anyway you slice it, my 50 mile one way commute into the city puts me at the gas pump every 4 days.

The report was from a Goldman Sachs analyst that said "within 6 months to 2 years it'll be between $150 and $200 a barrel."

A company as big as Chrysler I'm sure has some traders buying futures in oil. It's not a bad thing to do either for us folks.

TIPS ON PUMPING GAS

I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline.... but here in
California we are also paying higher, up to $3.50 per gallon. But my
line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some
tricks to get more of your money's worth for every gallon..

Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in San
Jose , CA we
deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline.
One day is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular and
premium grades. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity
of 16,800,000 gallons.

Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early
morning when the
ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations
have their storage tanks buried below ground . The colder the ground
the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so
buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not
exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and
the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and
other petroleum products plays an important role.

A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this
business. But
the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the
pumps.

When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of
the nozzle to a
fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three
(3)stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping
on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while
you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you
are pumping on the fast rate, some other liquid that goes to your
tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being ****ed up and back into the
underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your
money.

One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is
HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have
in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline
evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an
internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the
gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike
service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is
temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact
amount.

Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the
storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely
the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and
you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles
on the bottom.
Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.

DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS!

WHERE TO BUY USA GAS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON

Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it.
It
might even be good for us! The Saudis are boycotting American goods.
We should return the favor.

An interesting thought is to boycott their GAS.

Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money
into
the coffers of Saudi Arabia . Just buy from gas companies that don't
import their oil from the Saudis.

Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I
fill-up
the tank, I am sending my m oney to people who are trying to kill me,
my family, and my friends.

I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil
companies
are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle
Eastern oil.

These companies import Middle Eastern oil:

Shell........................... 205,742,000 barrels

Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels

Exxon /Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels

Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels

Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels

Citgo gas is from South America, from a Dictator who hates
Americans.
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18
BILLION! (oil is now $90 - $100 a barrel)

Here are some large companies that do not import
Middle Eastern oil:

Sunoco..................0 barrels

Conoco..................0 barrels

Sinclair.................0 barrels

B P/Phillips............0 barrels

Hess.......................0 barrels

ARC0....................0 barrels

Jusat saw it today on the front page of the Business section of the 5/7/08 Star Ledger paper.

:idea: Two Americans pick up one Saudi. Hold him upside down, dip that sleeping bag twirled atop his head in a vast of their own oil, Turn back upright, light a match.

Instant Tiki Torch!

[Wakddood]

I drive everyday and I drive 70-75 in the HOV lane. If you don't people get pissed.:pissed: The cops haven't stopped me yet. The car I drive gets 20 mpg no matter what. It's got a V8 in it too.

[shoeluvr]

i just read the post about never going below half tank, i drive on fumes!!! guess that aint good. but i hate wasting money on gas.,so i avoid it. you would not believe how far i go after the gas light comes on, its like a challenge everytime i got further and further. hahaha.

[Wakddood]

it's bad to run it that low, all the crap in the bottom of your tank gets ****ed up and ruins your fuel pump.

[mark]

Yeah, ruins gas filter and fuel pump. Well one thing not mentioned though is always driving with 3/4 to full tank is more weight to accelerate.
If your like me and have 50-60lbs of junk in the trunk lightening the load a bit might help also. However minimal?

[mark]

And some fuel injecion cleaner every other month can help.

[Wakddood]

there they go again, gonna hit 4 before summer. Some stations already there at 3.99. probably hit 5 by labor day. SHIT!:angry:

that could b a problem? i could literally live in my car a week with all the stuff i have in there. i have back up clothes, shoes, make up and products....not to mention reading material, and stuff i still never took out of the trunk from my move,,,i have x mas decorations , lights and assorted easter and halloween decorations too in there. wow, if my car was stolen, half my life would b gone with it.

[mark]

I could probably vaccum about 5 lbs of pugg hairs out of my car. :zoo_dog:

[Wakddood]

We've broke the $4 mark. I saw the price on a barrel went down a little. Will we see it at the pumps?

oh, sorry, wrong thread NOT!

thanks for that site!

[Wakddood]

I'd try to sell my gas monster but it'd probably not get sold like all the other trucks on the side of the road that are up for sale and gathering dust. At least Hyundai got smart and axed it's idea for a full size truck, now they're building a small car.

[shoeluvr]

did anyone see the "smart car", you would have to b nuts to get in that thing! sure, take it on the LIE, if u feel like getting killed!!!!

[Wakddood]

I've seen a few on the LIE. The way that thing is shaped , I bet it has a cage frame to keep you from getting squished. I don't think they'd let them on the road if they didn't have some safety measures.

[mark]

Next thing you know we are gonna be seeing minibikes on the road! With a liscense plate that says 'F.uck Exxon'

[crizman]

I'm really tempted to convert a deisel car into one of the fry grease mobiles! it's cheap,its easy and many burger joints love to unload that crap.

Drive behind Crizman's car tailpipe for your daily intake of trans fats.

Believe it or not, its not all that easy to make bio diesel. It takes 16 hours to mix a batch. You have to mix it with methane and thats not a lovely prospect. However, if you own a car built 2004 or newer it is already set up with the correct fuel lines for bio-diesel. It stores easily and safely. Like I said though its a little dangerous to make. People think you can just use old cooking oil. It needs to be in good quality. It can't be burnt. It takes 5 gallons of used oil to make 4 gallons of bio-diesel. The waste from making the bio-diesel is great fertilizer. The Government has looked into and might even have plans to build plants to convert the oil into bio-diesel. Studies have shown that by the time they built these plants that OPEC would raise the price per barrel to an unbelievable point. The food companies would love this because all the fat bas*erds like me would be hungry all the time. Smelling bio-diesel emissions is like standing outside McDonald's or Wendy's!

[Wakddood]

there's a kit that helps you make biodiesel made by Fuel Free For America. Search em on the web. There's another kit you can hook up ans use straight used cooking oil. Just pour it through cheesecloth and dump it in the tank. Only during the hot months though. The rest of the year you need to mix it with methane or diesel so it don't coagulate.

NYMEX Crude at $133.57 as I write this.:bangin:

[crizman]

Sick&tired of this nonsense.Gas is over $ 4.00 P/G here.During the summer I look forward to long drives around Long Island.Showing the kids things that make the island great.Dont think that's going to happen this summer.It really ****s!

[rushtrader]

You should enjoy the $4 per gallon gas while it stays that low. The closer we get to the Beijing Olympics, the more demand there will be for oil in China and the higher it will go.

a real bargain yesterday...

The Chevron gas station at the corner from where I work had gas
for 99 cents a gallon yesterday (10 gallons per person for 100 people).
I find out first & told all my co-workers, who left work long enough to
go get their 10 gallons. Since my recent foot surgery, I still can't
drive yet. I asked each of them if they would take my car and get
10 gallons for me - NO TAKERS! That's the last time I'll do them that
kind of favor ever again!!! No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.

Pretty soon, my car WILL be parked. I'm roughly a mile from work, and if the weather is nice, I'll walk.

[Wakddood]

my mom said that she heard that it will go up to $100 a gallon. How long will that take? We'll be back to bicycles and horse and carriage and stuff will happen like in Sheryl Crow's "Gasoline" song.:angry:
