Anyone capable of discussing gas without politics? Anyone?

Saturday I lucked into $2.69 (nice) minus.40 cents Kroger off... so I took the 32 gals I could fit. But it was 2.89 by my house and no close kroger fuel, and I was making a trip I didn't want to, but I guess the gas was paid for

Friend in the UK just paid £1.97 per liter to fill her tank. Between the currency exchange and the metric conversion it works out to over $10/gallon.

OMG, $3/gallon. :eek: A little perspective is in order. How about not driving a vehicle the size of a house?

Assuming this chart is correct (I found it with a Google search, so it must be true), gas prices adjusted for inflation haven’t changed a lot since 1978. In fact, gas has gotten cheaper through most of our lifetimes.

All of this, of course, doesn’t account for volatility and temporary spikes like right now considering a major hurricane just hit the gulf coast a couple of weeks ago.

Woman pays $3.10/gallon and runs to Twitter to complain about $84. I paid $3.39/gallon 2 hours ago but it didn't cost me half that to fill up.

WTF is she driving that takes 27 gallons to fill, and most likely gets shitty mileage? And whose choice was that? :lol:

They make tons of vehicles with 2-4x the mpg, but not in the minivan models designed to go off roading that everyone wants.

I own a gas guzzling tundra. I am not confused about how it's going to go
