there is an economic factor in selling what you have in stock at current market prices no matter what you paid, look at computer parts, you buy instock a new video card for 250, your price, then 2 months later it hasn't sold, and the retail price is under that 250, you can actually make money by selling it at a lose and replaceing stock with cheaper stock.

BUT, this won't effect oil supplies as most of our oil comes from canada and russia, NOT the gulf of mexico. Aslo, the oil companies are the MOST profitable companies in the US, they can take a small hit and still be very very profitable. AND, why is canadian gas affected, they use no foreign oil, and none from the gulf of mexico, it is just plain gouging or companies pushing market prices around for profit, and something needs to be done about it.

yeah chrude oil prices went up but are the refineries running that were hit by the storm. are the oil rigs in the ocien still there. no right now there shut down. so of corse thats gonna raise prices because there not making there full production numbers so higher the price the less some will spend or none at all so there is more gas for someone elts. also they are thinking there might be a gas shortage. and i belive that can actually happen.

We've all been had! Everyone ran out to get gas last night while it was still cheap. Ange saw about 20 cars lined up when she went, and saw over 30 at another station on the way there. She got Supreme for 97c, because Esso ran out of regular and midgrade.

But when we look at the prices today, they're on average actually cheaper than yesterday! It's bullshiznit, and we were gullible enough to fall for it. Everyone in NA just went out and spent a shiznitLOAD on gasoline for no reason at all.

****, but I'm sick of oil. Bring on the canola!

Not here, if you didn't get gas yesterday, you won't be able to walk straight for a week.

For regular:

Yesterday 2.51  One year ago 1.89  Two years ago  1.19  TODAY  3.09

Gas has never been more expensive here, and we have (always had) the lowest prices in the US (new jersey). However in retrospect, we're finally paying over here what Kalifornny has been for almost 2 years now.

i agree with what i could actually read from this guy  :giggle:

he is right though, we could have all the crude oil in the world, we'll still have a gasoline shortage because we have very few refineries, hell, a boycott would probably would be more helpful for the company than hurtful, since theyd be able to have a supply of gas back up

but do you think theyd tell the public that they had some gas reserves now? hell no, theyll let them thing its a shortage, and keep selling it for the high price
It's Gumby's fault.

i always try to run Exxon in my car, because its the only gas that performs as well as it does in my car, and i dont mind paying a cent or 2 more for it


Off Topic But..... That shiznit runs good in a TC huh?? When I had the 5.0 Mustang I kept hunting a low speed bucking problem. After filling up at the Amoco station instead of Exxon I was frequenting, my bucking dissappeared. That was over 9 years ago and I've bought Exxon exactly twice since then, both times I was away from home and got just enought to make it to a Shell or Amoco...

ive run Shell, Texaco, BP (made from tree leaves or some shiznit), and Crown, Crown ran good, but when i switched to Exxon, my car felt like it had some balls, like another cylinder jumped in there, and 2 more psi

i hope gas prices come down a bit soon being the end of summer and all. i think (sorry to all american members of the board) that canada should close the borader to oil since were one of the biggest oil produceing contries in the world. our prices would come down alot i saw gas for 1.35/Liter today

I have had the same problems with both my 5.0's and in my tempo. I stopped going there after leaving the pump unatended and hit 27 1/2 gallons. I think that the water down the gas too.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Around here the speedway gas seams to run best, (whoever makes it).  But any of the small town stations that buy form Bazel oil (Local?) seem to have the worst gas.  I put twenty bucks of sunoco gas in and it seems to have lasted as long or longer than the citgo and the car idles better.
