$41 for 13 gallons of gas this morning in south Sacramento.

[AlCzervik]

So i'm driving slower and consolidating errands and not spending much on anything else except the essentials.

[XemaSab]

1. It's a ripoff

We're going to Canada next week and it's gonna be UGLY. :(

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

5. Hi Xema!!! Have a wonderful trip--we made it home from London

we had a wonderful time.

[XemaSab]

10. Suweet!

:bounce:

[Selatius]

2. How does it feel to be stepped on by the elites in this country?

It doesn't feel too damn good, does it? In this country, it seems the poorest and those in most need of help have always been abandoned when times were at their worst.

3. Iam about to go out and fill up my car. Have to stop at the ATM first.

Have no idea how much $ I will need :shrug: :cry:
Better get at least $50.

[AlCzervik]

6. i actually had cash on me so i guessed $35--wrong answer, i was looking

at the receipt muttering WTF and was joined by 3 other people also filling up.

[BrklynLiberal]

18. It cost me $55!!!!!! @ $3.05 per gallon. For regular.

:wow:

[IKScott]

4. Yeah

So about 3.15 a galleon, it's about 2.85 a galleon where I live.

21. Hi IKScott!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[fasttense]

7. The last time gas prices were up over $3.00 a gallon,

the freepers went around saying, "Adjusted for inflation, you are spending less per gallon then when Carter was President," or "In Europe they are paying a lot more." or some such nonsense. I haven't heard them say that lately. I wonder if they still like supporting the pResident with their gas dollars?

[AlCzervik]

9. i don't know how they afford to fill up their suv's, i have a Honda accord

cyl. manual and it cost me $41, imagine how much it must cost to fill up their vehicles.

[TAPat]

8. Yeah, and my 91 year old father-in-law

is blaming it on those damn eco-liberals - behind our backs, of course - and to our faces it's "use my car to take the kids to school" and "sure, I'll loan you some money so you can buy that scooter that will help you save money with your business and is so much better for the environment".
Uh huh - he knows what side his bread is buttered on - we completely uprooted our lives to come live with him and take care of him and his house and yard so that he wouldn't have to go to a *home* and so he's free to play golf every day.

Typical Repug hypocrite! :rant:

Now that's out my system, I do have to say it's very nice of him to offer to help out with the gas thing as our business requires alot of running around :)

[LSK]

15. by that logic, gas should have been $3 10 years ago

Sorry, thats not gonna fly with a Republican Congress and President. Some people cant stand to face the truth that is smacking them right in the face.

[bullwinkle428]

11. "Shoot the enviro-wackos and build more refineries" - direct quote from

a Freeper on another board I post at! :banghead: And these pricks have the balls to act offended when we bring up the word "fascism"...

[LSK]

16. ive seen the refineries excuse too

Are the oil companies building any with their record profits and tax subsities?? NO.

[MuseRider]

12. $84.00 a few hours ago

and I did not fill my tank. Diesel here in Kansas, 35 gallon tank. It will last a week, well less this week since I have a meeting in KC.

[Dunvegan]

13. Why is it everytime I see a "Support the Troops" ribbon...

...it's on an SUV? And usually it's a guy driving it in the city, single-passenger, and wearing a suit?

I think in a lot of cases THIS sticker would be more appropriate:

[Brewman_Jax]

14. Price jumped 10c in 3 days here

i.e. Atlanta, from $2.79 on Monday to $2.89 on Wednesday. :crazy:

[corporate_mike]

17. If Chavez make a few more alarming statements today - you'll pay 20% more

tomorrow

[LSK]

20. ...

[BrklynLiberal]

19. kick for the rest of the world

[bainz]

22. no need to kick...

I am sure this thread will kick itself.

42.00 to fill up my HONDA! Time to get a used del sol.

Now is the time to be sure that our tires are inflated properly. That extra 2-3 MPG is really adding up.

[BrklynLiberal]

23. kick
