Post by: 87swb on March 19, 2005, 08:03:00 am: yeah, but nobody's gonna do that.
Title: Re: gas prices in yall's area
Post by: kel on March 19, 2005, 04:00:00 pm: Here in SW Missouri its 2.04. 2.13 for diesil. Cost $300 to put 140 gals in my big truck.

Not buying fuel for 4 or 5 days won't effect anything. What we don't buy, China, Japan, and all the other developing countries will buy it up. The problem is more countries other than the US and Europe are purchasing more oil than the did 30 years ago. Its really not a matter of OPEC filling more barrels a day its that fact the nobody can produce enough oil to meet the demand.

The next family car we buy will be a hybrid.

Anyways, fuel prices will probably come down in a year or two but none of us will see prices below 1.30.

Post by: 87swb on March 19, 2005, 07:32:00 pm: so you don't think gas prices will ever go below 1.30 ever agian, they won't ever go back to like they were in the old days???

Post by: Snuke87chevy on March 20, 2005, 10:05:00 pm: In Georgetown KY gas is $1.10-1.19. To make it worse, I run hi-octane in my truck so tack an extra 20 cents on that price.

Title: Re: gas prices in yall's area
Post by: Blazin on March 25, 2005, 08:06:00 am: My Yamaha 225 enduro gets about 40 MPG if you drive it like a human. If you drive it like you stole it it gets about 18 to 22 MPG.

Post by: 87swb on March 25, 2005, 06:57:00 pm: i got gas today at Exxon and it's 2.08 for regular and i put 10 dollars in it. about the bike 90mpg is what the specs. said but it's probably not that now being a '91 model i'd say around 70mpg now, it's only a 125cc single cylinder.

Title: gas prices in ya'lls area
Post by: 87swb on April 04, 2005, 08:13:00 am: now gas is $2.25 for regular . i have a question, if you put your tailgate down, don't that save gas mileage due to lesser wind resistance?
Title: Re: gas prices in ya'lls area
Post by: cooltoolguy on April 05, 2005, 06:20:00 am: most places are still under 2 bucks here, 87swb, want better mileage, just pretend theres an egg between your foot and that skinny pedal on the right, It helps, I was getten around 16 mpg in my 94 ext cab 4x4 with 3.73 rear and 33's on the highway during my last trip south on 81 and 77, also with about 800 lbs of tools in the bed

Post by: 77DuallyCowboy on April 10, 2005, 09:41:00 pm: its 2.27 + around Binghamton NY for reg. I also live mile an half from cheapest gas in area too. Its 2.35 at the pilot over the hill in conklin. And yes 87swb it does improve mileage, but you will only notice on highway trips. When i took a 01 chevy 1/2 2 wheel down to florida last fall i got 20MPG with the tail gate dropped, the other truck (identical) got 17MPG or so.
Diesel is anywhere from 2.45 to 2.55!!

Post by: woodys86sw on April 29, 2005, 07:50:00 pm: I live in Western Kentucky and the gas here today (just filled up) was $2.18 per gallon. I think moonshine would be some cheaper. Might even run better at that.
Title: Re: gas prices in ya'lls area
Post by: micrys5150 on April 30, 2005, 09:34:00 am: Here in CA, we're paying 2.79 a gallon. Sounds like everybody is fed up with gas prices...I think it's only gonna get worse...It's not an infinite resource and we've got kids dying for it in Iraq...there's more to getting Saddam Hussein out of power there than him just being a dictator. We'll make Iraq a puppet regime and control their oil and keep tabs on the rest of the region. Don't be surprised if Iran or Syria are next. With all of our American know how there has to be other ways to create a fuel that will still allow that seat of your pants rumble and roar of a Chevy V-8 to snap your head back. Things are definitely changing in the world today...
Title: Re: gas prices in ya'lls area
Post by: BruceLopesJr on April 30, 2005, 11:59:00 am: Filled up for $2.13 today. Its been hovering around 2.09-2.15 for the last few months. Kinda sad to see, but it had to happen one day. They're paying over $6 a gallon in Europe, and have been for some time.
