Gas Prices Are Getting High Up Here.

[americanhighlander]

  Well this week our gas prices up here in live oak are almost near 3$ gallon and 74$ a barrier today on stock reports.

But lake city hads hit around 3$ today and last few days hads been so high up in price.

Somebody should start a gas protest rally over in washtion dc at white house or capital hill over there.

Btw my friend works at a truck company and he said:If  gas prices keep going up,
we might have to go on strike.

I don't watch news so much anymore and half time cnn and fox news
talks about noting good on news and depressing crap on news like war in iraq and same old sh*t about presdent  coming on tv making american people calm there azzs down at work.LOL

It's getting too old crap watching news half time and i like local news
stuff on tv and even tallahadsee channels are cool over here in mcalpin.

How high unleaded gas down there  in miami ?

[americanhighlander]

I guess we have to start buying horse buggys going on Interstate highways from tranport soon if  high gas price becomes another europe country.
We might, become another high gas price country here in usa..


This's what happens we support all these third world countries,
with all there oil plants and oil rigs and in case something goes wrong then,
we  have to suffer  to paid high gas prices here in usa and if another country doesn't like us then thats why we will paid high gas prices from those people over there untill we have build our oil rigs here in usa.

Problem here is that the tree huggers wont let you do crap... There is hardly anything left in the lower 48. Now there is potential in Alaska but we might hurt a fish or a polar bear so we cant do that... btw gas in Jacksonville is around 2.85 and rising...

[AintSkeered]

Those WMD in Iraq have more to do with today's gas prices than tree huggers do!

[Thrasher]

and the president of iran is all proud of it too.....

[Brians06grizz]

Just paid  $2.92 a gallon here!!Cost me $40.00 For 14 gallons.

[Exmx54]

Diesel just rose to $2.65 where I live in Palm Beach county.

[americanhighlander]

I hope, gas goes down asap next week or in few months from now!!

Well my dad is looking buy a little used, car if high gas prices don't stop
soon he might turned this car into electric plus he been doing alot google seaching for last few days, so far and you can buy whole kits to put in small cars to run by.

Plus today, we had some good rain storms up here in whole
area between live oak,lake city,mcalpin,But i'm glad dust is clear way
and roads are pretty muddy bad here.

I saw gas prices today,at lake city walmarts 2.93$ gallon and at live oak walmarts 2.85$ gallon.I hope bull sh** high  gas prices stop soon before people have world wide gas protest rallys in each states..

Hybrids are seeming so much cooler every day. Heck, I heard dodge was working on a Hybrid Ram 2500. Which electric drives might actually be a *very* good idea for towing due to higher torque than diesels at 0 rpm. :/ We'll probably end up getting a hybrid for my dad to drive to work since he works about 60 miles away in ft. lauderdale and the F-250 certainly doesn't get 50-60mpg.

My F-350 will get in the low 20's cruzing at 70 on the highway. Now can I go that slow for very long? No, but it's pretty efficient for a big truck.

Consumer Reports did a study on the Hybrids.  There only getting about half the mileage that the sticker says.  Plus the extra 3 to 4 thousand it costs for the Hybrid would not start saving you money until you owned it for about 4 to 5 years.  Who knows how long the electrical components of the Hybrid lasts and how much the parts are to repair them.  I think you end up spending more overall with the Hybrids.  Not worth it.

[ppark350se]

lol hybrids ha. my 4000pound 275hp 300ftq caddy is getting about 20mpg city! and thats with my heavy foot. i dont need a hybrid i got the caddy.

[mudnuri]

It's almost $4 per gallon here in Palm Beach county. Didn't they find out last yeaqr that the oil and gas companies profited way more than ever? Something like 10 Billion over what should have been charged? Nothing ever came of that and now we are paying through the nose again. Little Bush takes the children of America off to fight his oil war and we at home receive nothing but dead soldiers and higher than ever gas prices while the gas companies blatently rip us off and nothing is done about it. I may be totally wrong, but I don't think by much if I am at all.

It's $2.75 Wellington, can't imagine being that big of a change where you are! That's crazy, gas needs to come down on price some, or people will be riding bicycles again.

[mudnuri]

It's $3.11 across the street

[Southern4x4]

it cost abotu $25 to fill up the tank in the buggy :oits like a 10 gal tank

[qt314nfla]

We need to find a way to convert POOO, yes POOOO into a fuel efficient stink free burn.  Most of us are all full of crap anyway and then we only have to feed ourselves.  The excrement would feed our tanks.  Would be hella efficient if we could only find a stink free sanitary way to make it work. 

Here's the million dollar idea.

[mudnuri]

I agree! That would be awesome! Lord knows I am full of it!

[Loven It]

It's almost $4 per gallon here in Palm Beach county.

I just paid $2.83 per gal and did not even get 3/4 tank with $25.00 

[gery350]

dont sweat it. hydrogen fuel will replace fossil fuels.
wait and see(about 20 years).

[Ida_Mann]

I got to about 3/4 tank with a $50 limit around the corner from my house,,,,didn't want to swipe the card again so I just left it that way.

it's alright, my 5.4L V-8 still gets me about 19mpg on the highway and I have a 45-50 mile drive to work every day,,,,,one way.

Id@

[Bigscrb15]

Costs us over $200 to go riding for the weekend now. 25gallons in the truck(thats just the way to the riding spot, usually have to fill up on way home.) 15gallons for the quads and 30gallons for the toy hauler.

$3000 tax credit fixes that. Not to mention they only get cruddy gas mileage with them because they drive them hard. If you drove an F-250 hard you'd get something like 10-15mpg. If you drive a Hybrid hard you get like 40-50 mpg. Although if you drove them both easy the F-250 might get 20mpg highway while the Hybrid gets 55+mpg highway.

[WPBSMOKA]

Just backing up Mudnuri.  Gas is min. $2.9?+(reg) in Palm Beach.  I paid well over 3 in Lauderdale.  Costing me $70+ for 290-310 mi.    What are people ponying up for race fuel?

ILUV my Tahoe. I've invested over $12,000. dollars in performance parts and custom work pimping it out. Now I'm thinking about selling it because my gas bill is well over $400. dollars a month.
  America is a free country...just not when it comes to _UCKING GAS !!
 Everyone thought the war on drugs was bad...wait till people start doing crime to pay for an even worse addiction; GAS !!

[americanhighlander]

(I just, had a idea pop into my head today)

I think they  should do a worldwide gas station,airport shutdown
on fridays starting at 12PM untill midnight, and think about it
how bad oil companys will lose alot money.I think they should do that here in
united states.

I hope alot people print flyers to send our message out there all  over across  usa and past them out to every gas station,airport.

I hope somebody create a web site on it and send out to media.


Well try talk to truck drivers on cb radios on ch 19 that
might help you find out if there was rally protest planning going on
up in washtion dc..

[YAM29C]

This is an email I got, sounds like a solid plan to me.

LETS TAKE CONTROL OF GAS PRICES!!!!
Body: This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day"
campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies
just laughed at
that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by
refusing
to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a
problem for
them.

BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can
really
work. Please read on and join with us! By now you're probably thinking

gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently
$2.79 for
regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC
nations
have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP
at $1.50
- $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS
control
the
marketplace..... not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more
each
day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to
see the
price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not
purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
How? Since we all
rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an
impact
on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.

Here's the idea:

For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two
biggest
companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not
selling any
gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce
their
prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon
and
Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out at
this point....
keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of
people.

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to at
least ten
more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more
(300 x
10 =3D 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth
group of
people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers. If those
three
million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30
million
people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you
guessed it.....
THREE
>>>>HUNDRED MILLION >>>>PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all.

How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to
ten
more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could
conceivably
be contacted within the next 8 days!!!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you?

Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you,
please
pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL
THEY
LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.50 RANGE AT LEAST, AND KEEP THEM THERE.

THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

dont buy form chevron and mobil!!!

[SkyHighT100]

Gas went down a whole 2 cents here this morning, lol... It went from 3.01 to 2.99 

[Ida_Mann]

OK, I have to add something here,,,,the price of fuel has gone up by about $.25 a gallon to trigger the latest "let's get the rich oil companies" campaign.

what does this mean,,,,let me tell you what it means to me and maybe someone can make a comparison......

I drive a "gas guzzling" 5.4L V-8 powered pickup truck, and even with my heavy foot it gets me about 18mpg on the highway which is most of my daily commute of a little over 100 miles.

This means I am using about 5.5 gallons of gas a day,,,for argument's sake let's round it to 6 gallons a day.  This brings my fuel cost before the latest hike to about $16.50 per day,,,,and after the hike to $18.00.

for those without a half of a finger to count that,,,,it means $1.50 more per day I am paying for fuel.

This is someone who commutes over 100 miles per day,,,,I'm sure that there are many out there that don't commute even half of what I do, and some who drive more, but this is my story.

Where could you gain back your $1.50 per day?

==I know I paid $1.89 for a coke at Pizza Hutt for lunch a couple days ago,,,,that's one way.
==Half a pack of cigarettes(whatever they cost now)
==Next time you have a small load of clothes to dry,,,,hang 'em up instead of turning on the dryer,,,one load of laundry is about $1.25 or so depending on what you pay for electricity.

[americanhighlander]

I knew that!! we don't buy gas from companys and we only buy walmart gas or bp or local places here mcalpin places called ready freddys or go to ga line once a great while to save on gas.

[Bigscrb15]

Not buying oil for 1 or 2 days will not work. All that will cause is the oil companies to lose money for that day or two and when your tank gets empty on day 3, they will have raised prices .50cents a gallon and there will be lines at all the pumps because they all skipped buying gas for a couple days. now you cause the oil companies to make an extra 5million that week instead of losing. We as consumers can not change the prices UNLESS you drastically change your lifestyle and stop using gas completely. The gov't can help us by forcing OPEC to drop prices or drill in our own country and make our own oil.

[unvme2420]

3.05$ a gallon in Fort Pierce. 60$ to fill up my expedition. This sucks

[americanhighlander]

Take a look at this news about bush rejects tax on oil companies ' profits.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060428/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush

I just found this on yahoo news today..

 This more bad news on us and bush said:We need get off oil..

[americanhighlander]

I think he's crazy in mind!!!

So how many wars he willl start before he starts other countries when he
pisses, the whole dang  world off at our own country here..We got too many countries hating at us becuase what mr. bush cuase and I think we should stay out own war messes, into other outside counties and don't get inolved with them. I think' bush is a complete war nut in his mind using our troops as like battle chess game on battlefield.I think we should went after bin ladan when that wtc happen back in 01 and we still haven't cought that idiot since he ran away into another country.

I'll be glad in 2008 when bush leaves white house and i hope we get better,
presdent then beside bush..

Well i think, if gas prices keep getting higher in next coming months
i know they going have alot gas protests rallys soon, if this high gas price crap,
don't stop soon if hurts work companies can't efford to ran their vehicles then they start b**ch to washtion .

Sorry guys out there, i was trying explained what i think
it's going happen  in near future and i could be right or wrong on this one.

Thanks,

THINKING OF BUYING A SCOOTER TO SAVE GAS MONEY BUT IT WOULD TAKE ALONG TIME FOR THE SAVINGS ON GAS TO PAY FOR THE SCOOTER.

[americanhighlander]

I saw a sign that made me lmao today and i was heading to mall to gainesville today.

If anybody that lives in north of obrein area and south of mcalpin bp gas station on us hwy 129 heading south and you should see sign at old white pole with feed sign and the sign you will see sticking with wooden pole on side next to a dirt road.

The sign says:Boycot Gas On sunday!!!

It's in big letters you can even see it very well when traving on hwy at 60mph..

Too bad i didn't have digtal camera to take shot on that one..LOL
