Amen - those IT gestapo bas$%rds! They recently took my access to youtube!

 

As a kid we travelled all across the country in a 1967 Pontiac Safari Station wagon. I remember Dad pulling up to a station and bartering with them for a lower price. At that time gas was 19.9 /gal or there abouts. Nearly every time they would give him a penny or two off.
A few years later travelling with a Motorhome that was converted from a School Bus all through the West and Canada and Dad doing the same thing. I mean you pull up and you are going to take 60gal of Gas a couple of pennies off wasn't much but when you consider then gas was around 30-35 cents a gallon it was a decent discount.

My first tank of gas, was Premium in my first car One I had rebuilt and of course 'BUILT:, that was 1975 and premium at that point was 49.9 gal. and that was the "Real" stuff I think it was 99 octane. There was a race shop down the road (near Seattle International Raceway) that sold 102 Octane and that stuff was expensive at 75 cents a gal but it sure ran well.

Oh those were the days. Now we look for daily drivers that we can strangle every last .1 mile out of that water they call 87 octane or worse 85 octane gasohol.

And all of this so when we ride on the weekend on our Popo's over those vast oil deposits we have in the ground in this country that the environmentalists won't let us touch and more importantly would like to make it where we can't even ride there.

 

4.06/gal today and 4.76/gal for diesel.
Filled my little truck(3.5gal) 2 quads and a 5gal can - $63.00 ouch
Middle of Eastern Ore.

 

ya its mem. weekend for sure as ours went to $3.97 so far.

 

For the first time ever I paid over $100 dollars for a tank of gas. 26.3 gallons in the GMC. Hopefully the firewood we collected will more than pay for itself in oil not burned.

 

been trying to talk mi mom into going to a corn/pelet stove for heat instead of oil whats every one gonna be using for heat nxt year.....btw i think we should boycot gas one day a week every week till gas goes back down to some what cheeper prices like 270 a gallon

 

3.85 today.....I get 12mpg..really starting to stink

Atleast in the winter I'm not dependent upon oil.

I heat with this

 

Diesel is 4.90 a gallon and gasoline is 4.15 here in northern Wisconsin.I heard once it gets to 4.50 it will come with vasoline and a self applicator.

 

its really starting and had been hurting people on tight incomes and having to choose between food or med or gas for the cars and other things this sucks so bad its gonna cause massive problems in the long run
