Gas is now 3.48 all over the state. Mooney Oil of Lansing says we'll be PUSHING OUR CARS IN TWO DAYS!!! Its on the front page of the Lansing State Journal.

I'm not sure how much of this is actually true or going to happen, but its something to think about. I'm taking things with a grain of salt right now.

 

Gas prices are high. However I haven't noticed any real decrease in the traffic on the roads...

 

I say we all just quit driving for a week and put an end to this BS. Opec still only has maybe 4 bucks in a barrel and they are getting 70 plus bucks for it come on! I know it will be impossible to get everyone to participate but if everything shut down from people not driving maybe it would have an effect(possibly bad).

 

I agree, man on the way to work i dont let my truck rev higher then 2 grand, and I do the speed limit. But yet there is morons flying by me racing to the red light so they can stop again.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img].

 

Right, i used to stop at the 7-11 on the way home from school to grab a snack and a slurpee, but now i come straight home to eat. i now take the school bus once a week now instead of driving everyday, since i cant work as many hours as i did over the summer because of school, so my pay checks arn't as fat.

 

This is what amazes me the most, most complain but wont do anything to use less gas. It is amazing how much less gas you can burn if you drive and accelerate slower, coast to lights, etc...

 

I'm really missing my 4 cylinder stick 2wd s-10. I find myself shifting into neutral well before offramps and coasting in, but I'm not driving much slower on the highway.

 

This almost gives me a good enough excuse to go buy a civic or accord 2dr or some such sporty little econo car. But, by the time you pay license and insurance etc I'd never make it pay in fuel savings since I drive just a few miles to work, but nonetheless filling the truck up for over $70 makes you wanna do something different.

 

Went from $2.79 to $3.12 for reg unleaded in just a couple of days.

 

MWQ is right. People just need to slow the hell down.

I had to make a 78 mile trip up north (one way) on CA 99. The rigs we're all pushing 65-70. I was supprised. Most of the time they run low 60s to keep the CHP off their back. They only slowed down just north of CA-152 as they approach the scales. I was trying to keep it at 65, or a little less if I could. Felt like I was going to get run over!

I'm one of the few lucky people in that my work pays for gas. The field guys have been ordered to car pool (well, truck pool would be correct) to save on fuel. We were running 5 trucks to the jobsite I went to. They cut it down to 3 trucks.
