Title: Gas Prices!!
Post by: Scyler on October 13, 2008, 12:21:19 AM
Sorry if this has been done before.

List the gas prices in your local area. Let's just see how low they can go!

$2.75/gal is the lowest I've seen.
$2.83/gal is the highest in my area.

Btw, I know why prices are falling. If you really wanna know, send me a PM. It makes perfect sense.

Theres a surplus of oil, and the recent high prices have made us use less.

The gas prices range from $2.10 - $2.75 here.

I've seen $3.80 per gallon on-base in the UK. Off-base is even worse since you get into pounds-per-litre.

$3.49/gal last time I got gas I think.

It would be right around 2.80-3.00.

Gas dropped to 2.63 here!

Hmmm... Gas prices are around 3.40 a gallon where I live.
Title: Re: Gas Prices!!
Post by: Scyler on October 23, 2008, 12:05:33 PM
OMG!! Gas where I live is now under $2.50!!!1!
YEEAAAAHHHH!!!!

Post by: ¿ Jesse Pawman ? on October 23, 2008, 03:10:25 PM
We finally have some help!

But remember prices right now were the same as they were about this time last year.
Title: Re: Gas Prices!!
Post by: Scyler on October 23, 2008, 07:52:19 PM
Yes, but prices never got up to $4.00/gallon where I lived last year. Hopefully, the trend of declining prices will only continue. But I'm betting that after Nov. 4th, they'll start to rise again.

Exactly! Oil companies aren't too fond of Obama's alternative energy bill so they're supporting the republican party which has the off shore drilling policy.

We need to stop relying on oil because its bad for the earth AND the American economy. Just look at the situation now, If we were energy independant, then I don't think that we would have stayed in this war as long as we have...

Unfortunately, no matter which candidate we elect, we'll have about a ten year wait to get off of our dependancy on foreign oil. I think electric cars(electric & gas) would help out the environment as well as the economy but those blasted oil companies are so set on greed and getting more money, they'd contribute to our economic downfall.

Sorry, I got a little off topic.

I've heard of people gone missing after finding a way to get a car to get 100mi/gal.

Thats what happens when you pis.s off a company with a lot of money, they'll either make you disappear and buy the silence of your family and friends, or they'll try and bribe you into just forgetting about your discovery. And yeah, it is scary.

OMFG! Gas is down to $2.09 a gallon here! It's still going down!

I know, but restruant prices won't go down sadly. It'll just say "Hay look at us! We're in the money!" All over again :/

I would like to go to Olive Garden, but my parents won't take me, and I hate public transportation...
Title: Re: Gas Prices!!

I love Olive Garden's bread sticks! They're the best! xD

Post by: ___ on November 03, 2008, 05:18:28 AM
I know!! And their pizza! :drool: People laugh at me when I say I go to Olive Garden for their pizza, but its THAT GOOD! I haven't noticed any drop in food prices because of the gas prices...
Title: Re: Gas Prices!!
Post by: XXLordXXInuyashaXX on November 03, 2008, 05:21:25 AM
They don't drop, they raise, and we end up paying more money that we could need for other stuff. I still think salad+breadsticks = life. I could live forever on that stuff!
Title: Re: Gas Prices!!
Post by: ___ on November 13, 2008, 10:56:20 PM
They're down to $1.99 here!
Title: Re: Gas Prices!!
Post by: DaiRraito IS, FurryLAE. on November 14, 2008, 01:04:07 AM
Yeah, me too!
That's nearly HALF the price of the old gas prices (like, 3.59 REGULAR.  Diesel was like, 4.00.).

Post by: ___ on November 14, 2008, 01:55:46 AM
I hope that they go back to $1.25 like back in my day (Feels quite old)
