How much you pay for gasoline?

[scoober]

boost = fuel

yeah, but boost also = FUN. (cost associated as always)

I swear there was a thread exactly like this 3 or 4 months ago, and just like this one, it turned into a conversation/argument about octane.

[Viva]

Just paid $2.81/gallon over in the UCSD part of San Diego.

Where exactly? Is that where you live? UCSD student? I was in Golden Triangle area for several years before moving to Clairemont Mesa.

[rightcoast]

I just paid $2.67/gal.
Highest Ive ever seen it around here.

[Powder Seeker]

How many lives did it cost to start your car this morning? Bring our boys home.

Seconded!

[Tippster]

$2.999 for Premium. Fucking Audi.

Gas is still cheaper than bottled water.

Depends on the size of the bottle that you purchase.

In CH wine, beer, and bottled water are cheaper than a litre of gas.

"The main factor in price disparities between countries is government policy, according to AirInc, a company that tracks the cost of living in various places around the world. Many European nations tax gasoline heavily, with taxes making up as much as 75 percent of the cost of a gallon of gasoline, said a spokesperson for AirInc."

I think we were always in agreement:

governments meddle with energy pricing via price supports, stockpiles, industry tax breaks, and at-the-pump taxes. I prefer to let the market (people's choices) dictate the price of energy. If it becomes painful, then alternatives will be developed and offered which allows people more choices.

For instance, sailing may experience a boom if high energy prices make powerboating too expensive for the average joe. Not a bad choice to harness the wind and quietly cut the waves.

At the Cheveron over by Nobel and Regents. Not a student, I was too tired from my time at SDSU to continue with grad school, but my brother is student over at UCSD. I'm just down here during the week (usually) for work near Mission Trails and the Bases down by the bay. The rest of the time is wasted either in Santa Monica or Mammoth/Sierra's.

And it's probably still cheaper up in Bishop (out in the middle of BFE Cali) than down here in San Diego.

[midget]

$1.54 NZD/Litre = $80 to fill my 15 gallon tank. Stop whining

[bad_roo]

$6.35 per gallon. Poor folk like me get whacked for trying to run a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.

[Buzzworthy]

$2.38/gallon with Maverik discount card for 87 yesterday evening.

[Mountain Freak]

Invest in an energy mutual fund... It provides a great hedge. In the last year and a half I'm up 70% on the investment! I think it's time to get out soon.

Will you fucking answer my PM/emails? Jesus. I hate you.

You bastard. You have no right to complain about gas prices.

[sea2ski]

Yeah but I can operate without bottled water, can't say the same about my ability to operate without gas. (slow pitch)

Sounds like CT may be losing it's title for most expensive gas in the lower 48 from the looks of some of these quotes.

[72Twenty]

It just went up (again) here. Earlier today, all the stations on E. Grand Ave. were at $2.47 .....

[Nohillsnearby]

$2.66 - $2.69 for 87 octane in NE Indiana.

[grrrr]

3.06 for 87 this morning.

And I just sold my v10 F350 for 17k. Bwahahaha

(that almost calls for a fingermoustache)

[rtp]

$2.53, not as bad as $3.06 but still sucks.

Another Methane Move

Unless you live in the Rocky Mountain West, it's hard to realize just how pervasive the push for new petroleum leases in that region really is. Although a vast amount of land is already under lease - and most of those leases have not been developed - the cry in the oil and gas community is for still more access to new territory. The Bush administration has been encouraging this constant push for more drilling, almost entirely without regard to other values. A case in point is the growing pressure to open Valle Vidal, a part of the Carson National Forest in northern New Mexico, to coal-bed methane development.

Valle Vidal is an open expanse of valleys and alpine meadows in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, often called the Yellowstone of the southern Rockies. It was given to the nation by Pennzoil in 1982 to be managed as a wildlife habitat, and it is home to the largest elk herd in New Mexico. The move to open nearly half of it - some 40,000 acres - to coal-bed methane drilling is being proposed by El Paso Corporation, which was one of the chief companies involved in the California energy crisis several years ago. There is coal-bed methane development on private land nearby, but the thought of drilling in Valle Vidal has created an unusual coalition of opponents. Even the former head of the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association opposes it.

There is a chance that with concerted public opposition, this particular drilling plan can be stopped. But the Valle Vidal situation is a reminder that the oil and gas industry - particularly the coal-bed methane sector - sees no natural limits to the expansion of its leases, no matter how pristine or environmentally significant the land it covets may be. The White House has given the industry no reason to consider restraint. Its energy policy is based entirely on expansion, extraction and consumption, with little thought for conservation or the environment.

[tranzformer]

Crazy how oil companies have a 89% profit compared to last year, inwhich they also had a very large profit %.
