Thats funny there now. lmfao

 

Higher prices won't really change what/when I drive. I still need to use the dump truck and the other trucks for there respective jobs around the property.

However, if I were to lose my company truck, I would never, and have never in my life (I am 52) considered using any full size truck as a commuter. Only if the job, such as a field service tech type person required a truck and tools would I in anyway use such a inefficient type of vehicle to move only one person.

Otherwise it is the cheapest to drive car (escort/focus currently comes to mind) that I could get my hands on to drive back and forth to work.

The trucks stay as trucks and are used as trucks to carry a load and not just my a**

My two cents - and heres to keeping fuel below $4 a gallon !!

For what it's worth on the topic of gas wars..

My dad, born '40, remembers a gas war when he was 9. It was $0.12 that morning, and then down to $0.09 by mid-afternoon.

Hopefully that doesn't add to much despair we all feel at the pump these days.

 

$3.19 in metro Minnesota yesterday. I'm glad my F250 isn't my DD, thankfully if it were I only live about 6 miles from work.

 

$3.03 in Mid-Michigan for regular unleaded. It was at $3.18ish about a week ago.

I do not care what the price is, I am driving my truck. People drive crazy around here late in the winter and it makes me feel safer.

 

I bought gas here today at $2.929 for 87 reg gas. Diesel prices are hovering around $3.25.

 

Well that's what we get for buying all those cheap chinese products. The chinese can now afford to drive cars instead of bikes like the did in the days of Mao. There's supposedly not enough gas to go around now. Soon enough we'll be the ones riding the bikes!

 

2.85-2.90 Houston,Tx. I daily drive my 97 F250 60 miles a day avg 15-16mpg@55-60. I have a 87 MR2 that gets between 32-36mpg depending on how much I'm smiling but I always find something I want that I can't fit in the MR2 so I drive the the truck until it gets to 3.50+ Then it will be MR2+trailer.

 

thanks to all the progressives and EPA destroying this country ! we should be drilling for oil and this country has more oil reserves than any other country does ! drilling off shore in shallower waters would be great and drilling in the BAKKEN formations ( shale oil ) would be great as would ANWR in Alaska but hey lets all be at the MERCY OF CHINA !!

 

amen to that.....andour president makes things worse....come on 2013....

 

around here it's normally about $3.15 unless you go to sams club or price club and then it's $2.95 i know the more south you go the cheaper it is. I've been filling up like 3 times aweek just about $40 each time. real sucks with a $9.17/hr job and other bills to pay

 

I used to haul flatbed freight so that put me in the oil fields alot with drilling pipe loads, and one guy told me we have enough oil right here in our country to last over 100 yrs. And at the rate of production today if everyone in just the U.S. alone would not buy one petrolium product for 24 hrs there would not be enough storage space and they would have to give it away just to keep up.

 

In west Tennessee 87 octane is running $2.90 this week. Some at $3.00
My dd is '07 f150 4x4. gas prices won't stop me driving it. However, the toys -
'74 Bronco and '61 uni-body will not get "cruised" as much with their mileage.
Fill up what you can in cans, etc. I keep hearing $4.00 + by April.

 

As far as the oil supply goes nobody ever talks about all of the oil and gas the US exports to Countries that are not friendly to the oil producers like Isreal.

 

here in eastern connecticut its like 3.30, i like driving my 97 f350 , but at 8 MPGs i dont want to drive it. Im actually considering trading it for something else, but at the same time dont because i can haul and tow with it. I actually see the gas gauge go down. i get like 30 to 40 miles to a quarted of a tank. only other thing to do is get something thats good on gas. If i could 12-14 i would be happy.
