1.97 for the tundra
2.25 for the turbo diesel passat (38 mpg)

Last year i guessed we'd see $3 in 2005. I didn't expect it to come so soon! Just think how bad $4 is gonna suck, and will you still have a job with which to pay it?:confused:

"Gas prices are seen Tuesday, March 15, 2005, at a 76 gas station in Malibu, Calif. MidGrade:"

Thats Malibu though isn't Malibu an expensive area though? Like you can go from town to town here in mass and find prices from 1.91-2.05 for regular depending on where you are

Yes, Malibu is expensive, but if one gets away with it they all jump in. I average 1500-1600 per week because I work in outside sales for a welding supply company and have a large territory. I would kill to have some of the gas prices that you are complaining about. I have a Dodge Ram with the Cummins and average 19.1 mpg but it still gets $$$ at the mileage I'm driving!!!

It should be spelled Kalifornia, **** Eco-Nazi's...

guess I better hurry and fill up the Sequoia and the 2 tanks on the F250 while I can still afford it!

Unfortunately, I agree with Ryanstones. If you think the prices are going to come back down, you're dreaming. Up, Up, and Away!

Edit: Anybody want to buy a good '89 F250 Ext Cab 4x4?!!!!:deal:

I dont know how accurate this is but something to think about.



WHERE TO BUY YOUR GAS,



THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW.



READ ON--





(I haven't had the chance to check the validity of this, but I sort of

remember this coming around last time gas sky-rocketed.)



Why didn't George W. think of this?





Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it.





It might even be good for us!











The Saudis are boycotting American goods.





We should return the favor.





An interesting thought it to boycott their GAS.





Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into

the coffers of Saudi Arabia . Just buy from gas companies that don't

import their oil from the Saudis.







Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up

the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my

family, and my friends.









I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies

are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle

Eastern oil :







Shell............................. 205,742,000 barrels

Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels

Exxon /Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels

Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels

Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels





If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18

BILLION!







Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:







Citgo.......................0 barrels

Sunoco...................0 barrels

Conoco...................0 barrels

Sinclair....................0 barrels

BP/Phillips..............0 barrels

Hess........................0 barrels

ARC0.....................0 barrels





All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and

each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are

importing.
