It's not just Louisville... :(

I just paid $3.05 a gallon here, yesterday. I'm starting to wonder why the hell I insisted upon getting an SUV. :o

I know someone else who is 'hardheaded' (no pun intended, really :p .)

It IS nice to have the extra space, though... I've been getting about 20 mpg so far, but I've only been through two tanks. We'll see...

I heard this morning that gas prices are supposed to be around $4 a gallon by the end of the summer. :eek:

Yeah it's $2.82 here. Wish the Saudis and Dubya would let go of my balls.

I recieved an e-mail urging people not to get gas on May 15th. It's a gas out. They did this a couple of years ago ( I think 97) and the price of gas dropped .30 cents the next day. Supposably it cost the oil companies billions.

Doesn't really matter... they know they'll make that money back the next day.

lol at anyone who believes this nonsense.

anyone not buying gas 5-15 will either have filled up 5-14 or can make it to 5-16. net sales effect is zero.

if everyone stops driving 5-15 and you could theoretically have some impact. of course this means no one who drives goes to work and we are completly unproductive for a day.

if you want lower prices, consume less gas. it's supply and demand.

btw: i know it's derby week because all the people that roll their eyes when i start talking about horses are now coming up wanting my opinion.

i'm telling all of them i like teufelsberg. it's what they deserve.

Danzig 05-03-2007 03:02 PM

not buying gas for a day would be like a fat ass skipping a twinkie once, and then thinking it'll impact their weight. you have to make a real change, not just wait a day to make a purchase.

packerbacker7964 05-03-2007 04:37 PM

$3.25 here in the 616 Holland Michigan. My cars gets 33 mpg so I ain't hurting all that bad but it takes 12 gallons to fill and I hate shelling out $40 to fill it.

You are very cruel.


Of course, when Teuflesberg wins, they'll be loving you, but you'll be hating life!
