God damn. It's like $2.50 here.

D3V 2007-09-05 09:43 AM

2.53 here.

Thanatos 2007-09-05 09:46 AM

I don't know why. In the town over it's $3.40. What the fuck is up with Midwest? We're getting raped.

D3V 2007-09-05 09:47 AM

It's called Price gouging. You guys have additional taxes and whatnot I believe. For some reason though your supplies fluctuate alot more. No clue why, sucks to be you I guess.

Went up to about 3.17 overnight :(

Thanatos 2007-09-05 12:50 PM

FUCK THE MIDWEST, I TELL YA!!

Kaneda 2007-09-05 12:55 PM

2.60-75 Here. It's funny that I consider that low now. Which is exactly how they want everyone to feel. Jack it up to 3.50 then drop it to 3 and everyone is happy.

D3V 2007-09-05 12:56 PM

Yep. I wish we had gas back around 1.85-1.90 like it was when I was in highschool like 2 years ago. Fucking Blasphemy.

Kaneda 2007-09-05 12:58 PM

Ya how can we go from .50 cents to 1.50 in like 50 years. Then in 5 years go from 1.50 to 3.00! Such bullshit. You know depending on the scientist they estimate we've already used half our worlds oil supply or it's getting close.

D3V 2007-09-05 01:00 PM

I wouldn't worry about it, as soon as it starts to become an issue our alternative fuels will take off, until then, the government doesn't really give a shit.


Same thing with Freshwater, we've only got 3%? I believe, if we ever get to the point where we're running low converters that take saltwater and convert it to freshwater will be everywhere, but until that point nothing will happen. Procrastination....

Kaneda 2007-09-05 01:03 PM

Ya it's just a shame.

D3V 2007-09-05 01:28 PM

Hey, you guys know there are like 10 threads you can look at in this same section, go stop by some time!

Thanatos 2007-09-05 02:50 PM

I've never payed lower than $1.70 for gas.

HandOfHeaven 2007-09-05 03:52 PM

If you all have the money, I'd suggest that when the gas prices get low enough, you should buy it bulk. They will let you pump gas for that price each time you go to the pump until it is used up.

It's around 3 bucks here, varying from gas stations around the college. Hopefully it doesn't go too far up. But, since the other Midwestern states seem to be having rising prices, it wouldn't be too difficult to suggest an influx in price.

!King_Amazon! 2007-09-05 04:42 PM

I always fill up my tank when I get gas. Unless you mean buying it in bulk like getting a bunch of gas cans and storing a bunch of gas somewhere. Not only does that sound unsafe, but also doesn't sound very practical, since the cost of the gas cans would probably be more than you're saving by buying in bulk.

HandOfHeaven 2007-09-05 04:58 PM

Oh, I should have specified. I meant that you can buy 100, 500, or 1000 gallons on credit at a certain gas station at one flat rate. Say it goes down to 2.30, and you buy 1000 gallons. The next month it goes all the way up to 3.15. You still will get your gas for that 2.30 (already paid for) and won't be upcharged to the contemporary price. I recall several news stories of people doing that before Katrina.

That and gas goes bad after sitting for about a year, it loses it's potency from what i've heard. o_O

HandOfHeaven 2007-09-06 07:25 AM

Yeah, apparently you can't read. That's not what I was going for.

Ah, I see. That makes sense.
