All I can say is its making race gas more and more attractive for my turbo charged car. Race gas prices haven't changed much in the past two years. If premium unleaded gets into $4 range I may just switch.
$4 a gallon may be the point where US starts truly developing alternate sources of fuel in commercially viable ways. The thing that is sad about out of control gas prices is that it hurts rural and suburban middle/lower income America. Most Urban populations are already seeing great improvements in public transportation, alternate fuel vehicles, etc. Guess it wont be long before Wal Mart starts offering shuttle service to its super stores! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have been reading and hearing about more and more gas related crime in rural and suburban areas. Some gas stations have stopped taking at pump credit cards due to large amounts of fraduelent gas purchases. Wont be long before you can buy black market gas cut with paint thinner on street corners! |

It's kinda pissing me off actualy. I want to buy a VW lupo right now and I can't. 90mpg!!! Is there some reason these types of cars are not even for sale in the US? Instead we got these bullshit hybrids that right off the bat sounded like a horrible idea. |
