I got a tip from a family member who works with EMR Oil who works directly with Speedway Gasolines and he said gas is about to skyrocket. Id suggest filling up. I think he said over 3 bucks by the end of today or tomorrow. Didnt say why, but hes never been wrong when he alerts us.

Yes but you probabally get paid more. When min wage is 6.50/hr thats one hour for 2 gallons of gas.

To tell you the truth I laughed when I saw the price had risen. My mom turned to me and said, "You know how to ride a bike right?"[devilish]
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit of yourself to get the job done.

Im so tired of hearing about how its so expensive over there. I know how expensive it is. But your cars also use less gas and you have far better mass transit systems. You have to drive forever to get anywhere around here in most cases.

Yes I know your "jungle juice" Petrol (which is much higher octane...wonder why you pay more?) is outrageiously priced. Nothing I can do about it. And I budget myself for around 2.50 to 3 a gallon so this wont hurt me much. I was just letting the peeps know...


And yes, if you live in areas where its already higher, expect a higher increase. Where I live its actually been one of the lowest on average in the country. Right now its mid 2.50's. Im not complaining, just giving a heads up. Id expect in a day or less to see the jump.

yeah, its not the fact of it just going up that makes us upset.
its more the fact that we have been use to $2.40-2.50 so when it jumpos up .50 cents or even a dollar, yeah it doesnt sound much, but its an extra 5 to 10 bucks for 10 gallons.
its the change that were upset about, not the overall price.

Well maybe doing stuff like importing Volkswagon Lupos would help.

Well, since Obama is now bowing down (literally and figuratively) to the Arab Nation, what else would you expect to happen to the gas prices?

Sorry ... had to be said.


Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all.
