GAS PRICES HERE (Su(/< ) they are high we drive a 94 crown vic their not
real bad on gas but if we even try to run 87,89 the spark knock is real bad
you can tell when the stores are being sold 87 as it is 93 because you almost
empty the tank and fill with what they claim is 93 and still spark knock the
whole tank ! We know what there doing . Has any one else got the spam crap
( chain letter email pass it on CRAP ) that says that if we dont buy gas for
just one day the gas companys will go out of business ! I say we buy one cent worth every day for a week and just see what happens!


P.S. You know during a national disaster they OUTLAWED price gouging .
Why not now!




93 is 2.16 here!


Hope this is not to political !!!!!!!!

I think one thing that would totally solve the gas price problem (though I think it will never happen) is for every American in the US to stop buying gas for about 3 days straight. The gas industries would buckle and be forced to lower prices. But we Americans are too stubborn and self-willed to come together like that. No offense to anyone BTW!

AMEN True, and the others who said it like i did.....i have been riding my motorcycle to work for the last week.....it takes 5gal / 93 (it wont function well on a lower grade) to fill it up and itll roll for 2 weeks and then some....im spending about $11 to fill THAT up with premium....but itll last about 2 weeks if im easy on the throttle even with the stage 3 Yoshi jet kit and 9 tooth up from stock rear sprocket.....i REFUSE to be bullied by freakin gas companies.....i talked to my boss and MY job can be done from HERE at my home.....so if push comes to shove ill just sit it out here for a week or 5....i STRONGLY believe that if this freakin country fulla pus$ies would sack up and just say "im doin it" and not buy a DROP of fuel for a week the gas companies would realize that we aint takin the crap....but thatll never happen with the country fulla soccer moms in HUGE oversized 3MPG suv's and the exec's in their huge gas guzzling luxury cars rolling aroung buyin up gas because they have the $$ to **** down the drain....well im a normal working stiff and a small business owner and i cant afford that $49/week in gas to fill my tank.....i wish people would band together......what happened to the people who used to stand up for what was right......the prez of this crap heap wont stand up and say anything because he has $$ in oil intrests and our pain in the pocket = $$$$$$$ for him.....we just dont realize that.....thats why he dont care thats why corporate america dont care its because the oil industries OWN this country....sometimes i wish we would just run out of oil.....naaaah cause then they would just find something else to jack the prices up on and make us believe we cant live without.....well anyways gas prices here went up to $1.98/gal on 87.. $2.06/gal on 89...and $2.15/gal on 93 from what i have seen around.....good luck to us all and if you have a cheaper old car that gets good mileage drive it.....ill be riding my motorcycle till its over, and makin a truck payment for something thats shading the grass in my back yard.... this sucks

prepping for war

That is the worst bag of hogwash I have heard in a long time. This country doesn't go to war, we go out on african safari's with rifles. When was the last time you actually heard of any move this country made where people died, and the citizens of this country actually stood behind the military and president?? That is what I thought, there are too many friggin liberals in this **** hole that don't care about there own well-being enough to kill off a thing or two to protect it. If we keep it up we are going to be an occupied country ourselves. Good Luck to the unarmed liberals then.

im prepared....how bout you? unarmed indeed lol my friends think im a nutcase with all the assault rifles, rifles, shotguns, SMG's, and pistols i have. Unless they use chemical warfare or nuclear then they should prollay stay the hell out of my range of sight, because chances are that ill be layin low somewhere with my Bushmaster rifle and scope poppin heads. I have no love for people who wanna come to MY country on camel back talking hostile takeover sorry Hasheid it jus aint gonnawork out for ya. Nothing personal to people of that nationality unless you are involved with the terrorist groups then YEA take it personally. Either way i paid 2.01 for 87 this morning and it ****es me off.

Yup, I got a few rifles of my own. This is Texas for goodness sake! I think everyone and their dog has at least 3 guns...including Red Rider BB guns.
