gee... what a bargain! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Of course, we're all getting ripped off. Filthy Arabs are ripping off greedy refineries who, in turn, rip us off. And Slimy politicians (who are so far up up the ass of OPEC that you can't tell which is which) let it all happen in order to line their pockets. It's nothing new. I think it's time for the assassinations to begin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

$3.17/gal here in the River City. Put $10 worth of gas in the bike yesterday, after riding.......thought back to '66 when I could fill my Honda Scrambler for a dollar. 'Course back then I was making $3/hr, you could but a new E-Jag for under $6K... a Corvette was that cheap too. Someday, $3/gal gas will seem cheap as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

that sign doesn't even have the biggest shysters on it... EXXON. Notice who isn't saying anything about fixing it, 'cause the leader of the free world has a big dog in that fight.

Try $3.85/gal for 91 octane on the Central California Coast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Makes $5/gal for race gas seem not as bad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

But the tows to the track are a MF (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Several stations here in SF with a "4" starting the price for premium. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Last night, the Chevron on San Pablo Avenue in Richmond said $3.99 for premium. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

That said, compared to Europe, we've still got it pretty good as consumers. Here's the difference:

The bulk of their gas money is going back to the government and (hopefully) the roads and other programs.

Ours is going to big oil as extra profit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/alfred.gif)

I guess those mergers in the oil industry have really been a godsend for consumers oil company CEO's.

Funny how the trust busters broke up Standard Oil back in the early 1900's and the oil companies are getting back together again. Teddy Roosevelt, we need you today!

It looks as though prices at the Petro Can in North Van have gone up again this morning by 5 cents/L

A report out last week was stating prices in the lower mainland are 27 cents/L price gouging based on prices a barrel. That works out in the US to around 90 cents gallon

Time for a North American boycott of ONE OF THE BIG STATIONS BY ALL and watch the price drop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I was in Ensenada last weekend, I got 26 gallons for $58.00 that's about $2.25. I didn't want to come back for lots of reasons, that was a big one.
Also, it was warm, the surf was excellent, and there were beautiful brown women everywhere. Oh yeah, the tequila was cheap too.
The most that my friend and I spent on a meal was $9.00 for both of us, including beers.
WTF am I doing back here?

265 this morning for 89 octane...

It's even putting a crunch on my development work- last year I spent 5K in fuel alone for dyno work and this year will be worse.

I was about to post something political in response but thought the better of it. The D's would probably cover there ears rather that be educated anyway.
