WTF is going on with the price of gas??

[morg]

The difference between $2.50 and $3 a gallon when filling the tank on your Apex is about $5.

Buy less beer.

Less beer.....ARE YOU NUTS.....lol just kidding.

What's nuts is watching a tanker truck from Canada drive across into Minnesota and unload into their tanks. On this side of the border the price is $1.10 a litre or $4.16 Canadian dollars for a US Gallon. (3.78 liters per US Gallon) for 87 octane. The Canadian gas the tanker dropped off in Minnesota sells for about $2.80 US a gallon. With the current 5% exchange thats $2.94 per US gallon. Even if the exchange goes to 10% its only $3.08. And it's 89 octane.
On the other hand is that going to break anyone? Say you drive 5000 miles a year and get 10 miles per gallon. You will use 500 gallons correct? We will call the average difference in cost $1. Grand total $500. Now that is better in my pocket I agree. A new Boss seat. 2 years worth of insurance. A mild weekend in Vegas....ok...a mild evening in Vegas...lol
BTW I don't know too many sleds, especially Yahahas, only getting only 10 mpg.
Not looking for a fight, just bored here.

It is all such a big scam. The U.S. used to export oil in the 50's. Why did they stop? I think the government decided "lets use everyone elses oil first". To bad there isn't an agency that can regulate all this crap! Remember when gas would go up 1 cent in a two week time frame? Now it goes up 14 cents in two days!!!

[Dimebag]

Yeah. Im in! hehe

So - no offence. But really I'm the one who should be complaining? Not you guys. I pay almost 3x more for the same amount of gas.

I bet if all the people who voted Obama new promise and change would be followed by for the worse they may have thought twice

Price of gas

Filled up the truck today and paid $2.40/gal. What's up with that? I think it has went down $.25 since Xmas. Dang democrats and Arabs are going to mess things up for big oil and the republicans.

 

[journeyman]

Looks like I'll have a real nice Apex for sale in a couple weeks. I can't afford to ride at $3/gal. Goddamn democrats and arabs f up everything. Looks like it'll be another summer of anchoring the pontoon boat in one spot and not cruising just like two years ago. F**k this pisses me off!!!

gee, two years ago it was over $4.00 a gallon. Who's fault was it then?

 

[yamahas]

the reason is the dollar is losing it's value due to obama printing money like never before. When the dollar loses it's value due to over saturation of the market, investors run to commodities like oil as protection against the falling dollar. Oil is trading in dollars.

This countries monetary policy is so WRONG. It's so short term that it is going to cause huge inflation in the future. A $100 in the future is going to be worth about $10 if we keep printing money and bailing everyone out. The FED Reserve used to not be affected by politics. That all changed.

I believe that would be correct, it's been going on for a long time but we used to call it uncle Sam. Now we just give Obama credit for everyting.
