local prices here are averaging 2.43 to 2.63 for regular.....I'm hoping the Pilot/Loves gas stations are much cheaper in a week and a half (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
I'm guessing I'll be lucky to get 15mpg in my truck if I tow the 914.....close to 900 miles round trip......ouch.... |

It's $2.65 in OC right now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif)
Talked to a friend that owns a gas station and he's been told that it is going to keep going up through summer. Supposedly $3.00 a gallon is in our future. I guess that isn't bad considering you pay $1.50 for a 16 oz bottle of water, that is like $12.80 a gallon. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) |

Filled up the thirsty VW (my fault) yesterday in South San Jose - $2.89/gallon. I thought that was bad until I looked across the street - it was $2.99! Thank God the teener is only a 2.0 four banger!

I saw $2.50 a gallon here today, this summer is going to suck. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) That is the highest that I have ever seen it.

i dont want to hear about gas prices
me 6000 miles round trip milage should be at least 25 mpg so 6000/25= 240 gallons then at 3 per gallon ( worst case ) 720 bucks for gas but i think it will get closer to 30 mpg so who is going to let teri and i crash in there hotel room. gas alone is winding up at almost half the budget |

Let's everybody watch some NASCAR racing this weekend so we can learn how to draft. All 20 or so of us caravaning down to WCC should be able to get a pretty good draft going. Save some fuel. We can pretend like were bike racing and rotate around who leads. Ha Ha.
