What amazes me is the fact that as soon as gas prices go up, people blame the same president who is trying to open up more drilling on american soil to help the high gas prices. Whatever happens, we can never blame the hippie eco-freaks, I'd like to shove a spotted owl right up their a**es.

 

QUOTE from spudley: bc is also a huge lumber producer and yet I pay just as much, if not more, for a board as you do, figure that one out.

I know thats right. I see it all the time, Canadians coming down to Minnesota to buy Canadian made products such as lumber, shingles, etc. They pay an import tax at the Canadian border on goods produced there, but it is still cheaper for them to buy it here and ship it back. That's your liberal govenment for you. Don't think for a minute they are any better than the "evil" corporations.

 

u guys think you have it so bad.....

i dirve a 67 camaro small block with high compression pistons and it needs premium/race gass mix

and i get less than 8MPG

and i cant stay of the gass!!!!!!

 

my diesal f-250 is .75 to a buck a gallon

bio-diesal

 

I feel your pain, my mustang may get 11 mpg, but thats why i drive my Nissan Frontier everyday.

 

ya but i cant afford anoter car
i just finished building the camaro

while building it i was like SPEED SPEED SPEED

now im like MPG MPG MPG

 

Yeah i actually thought about MPG when i put my rear end in the stang but i'm still glad i went with the 4.10's. It used to get over 20MPG until i started messing with it. The fuel injection still is a little more efficient than a carb but when it comes to drag racing fuel consumption really is a non factor. You can't go fast and worry about how much fuel you are burning. LOL

 

i got a 4:10 in mine with edlebrock carb

i am thinking of doina FI conversion

 

4.10's pull very hard thats why i went with them vs. 3.73 course sometimes i wish i had a sixth gear. Maybe one day i will go with the tremec six speed who knows.

 

Stop sniffing paint dude. We are not other countries. You do know the normal income in those countries is far greater than here don't you?. I say if we start charging them $50 bucks for a bushell of corn, intead of like the buck fifty we've been charging them since the 70's this crap would end. I cant figure how an increase of $2 for a 55gal barrel of oil causes gas to rise 25 cents a gal., it's rediculous. And oil companies are showing record profits, I know because my stock has went up like $8 a share, and it still doesn't cover my fuel costs. Private companies are taking advantage of us because of the war. It's like "look this way, while we pick your pocket over here". I have a Dodge Ram 5.7L hemi (that I need for towing 4 atv's, and a really heavy trailer), and a 5.2L in my Durango, both get driven to work every day, and it's really starting to eat into my budget. I can't imagine how a couple with kids making 9 or 10 bucks an hour each are making it. It's attitudes like the one above that is screwing everyone. Do you really think that prices will go back down if you just smile and say "yes I'd love another plate of s**t for dinner." I don't think so. So when you lay down, and take it, it just opens up the door to the rest of the wolves. Say something, be heard, it's a right that men have died for. Write your mayor, governor, congressman, senators, anyone you can.
