local prices here are averaging 2.43 to 2.63 for regular.....I'm hoping the Pilot/Loves gas stations are much cheaper in a week and a half (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
I'm guessing I'll be lucky to get 15mpg in my truck if I tow the 914.....close to 900 miles round trip......ouch.... |

It's $2.65 in OC right now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif)
Talked to a friend that owns a gas station and he's been told that it is going to keep going up through summer. Supposedly $3.00 a gallon is in our future. I guess that isn't bad considering you pay $1.50 for a 16 oz bottle of water, that is like $12.80 a gallon. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) |

Filled up the thirsty VW (my fault) yesterday in South San Jose - $2.89/gallon. I thought that was bad until I looked across the street - it was $2.99! Thank God the teener is only a 2.0 four banger!

I saw $2.50 a gallon here today, this summer is going to suck. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) That is the highest that I have ever seen it.

i dont want to hear about gas prices
me 6000 miles round trip milage should be at least 25 mpg so 6000/25= 240 gallons then at 3 per gallon ( worst case ) 720 bucks for gas but i think it will get closer to 30 mpg so who is going to let teri and i crash in there hotel room. gas alone is winding up at almost half the budget |

Mostly driven by per barrel price o' crude. Sources tell me $100/ barrel is coming, and won't be going away.

Let's everybody watch some NASCAR racing this weekend so we can learn how to draft. All 20 or so of us caravaning down to WCC should be able to get a pretty good draft going. Save some fuel. We can pretend like were bike racing and rotate around who leads. Ha Ha.
