Gas Price Change For You

[clerick]

No offense, good luck. unless you strike lucky like CAP did, anything good on fuel that will last forever if maintained will cost you an arm and a leg.

yep! But I'm a patient shopper with connections. I picked up a pristine Ford Excursion Limited for $5900, heck of a deal.

connections are always good. long as you arent pressured for a vehicle you have no reason to not be patient for a good deal.

I thought you were in Texas where not only do you have your own refineries, but oil fields to supply them as well.

Here in Jersey near me it ranges from $3.59- $3.65. But more as you near the turnpike. The highest I've seen it here was $3.83. And that was about a month ago.

We have our own refineries. But not much in the way of fields.

     Jersey is weird, most of the gas stations use the Bayway refinery.  I would have to pay about an extra dime a gallon every ten miles closer
to the refinery I got.

where does the electricity come from?

     The sky...1.21 Gigawatts Marty McFly!

it is ONLY of bennefit in forced induction or high compression or engines tuned for it. Higher octane fuel doesn't burn better, it is just more resistant to combustion to prevent predetonation.

People who put it in cars tuned for lower octane are throwing $$$ dwn the drain and if they claim their car runs better then there is probably some other issue.

     Used to crack me up when guys would come in trying to buy 100 Low Lead Avgas for their cars.  "It runs better!" 
Bet they never noticed the nice grey residue in the exhaust pipe...100LL has 8X more lead than leaded autogas did.

you say that jokingly......but the last time gas hit 4/gallon, people were punching holes in gas tanks, and draining them. one of my friends runs a napa....they got 3 of his trucks.

yeah I know. now idiots are trying to cut power lines so they can recycle the copper to pay for their meth. 2 of those idiots caused me a power outage but at least they died

Dang Skuzzy,

I'm figuring about 4,000 sq ft minimal for your man cave without future expansions, 480 volt wiring, expensive lighting. You left out your welding and finishing areas, and a massive air compressor and air lines in your posts. With a Vacuum former, you will need either a WaterJet or Laser to pre-cut your material, add another 1,000 sq ft. and machinery costs.

God bless you Skuzzy for keeping our economy rocking! This man deserves a Tax break.(The 1% I depend on for employment) where would we be if the government took all of their money? forced to work at Gunpoint.

Skuzzy has my utmost respect, After babysitting us, he goes home and produces products.(I always thought he was just the "Hitman" for High Tech) my bad.

GL on your endeavors, I'm still trying to crunch the numbers, I'm amazed! This is only part of his garage.

<S>

I not sure what my post has to do with the price of gas, here in Utah,reg 3.59...plus 3.71...Pre.....3.82

It cost me the equivalent of $33.65 to fill my old car up the tank is roughly 26gallons.These prices are in Oman ,the UK cost would be $221.62 , i am very glad i no longer live in the UK.

I have an Expedition, which has a 30 gallon tank. Last year it would cost me $50-60 to fill up.
Now $60 is only three quarters of a tank. So now it's about 90 bucks for me to fill up.
Anyone want to buy an Expedition? Tons of space.
Good highway mpg, but short trips are a killer.
Of course mine are mainly short trips.
The folks in Europe (Germany) are paying more per litre than we are for a gallon.

It sell for 1.41$/L (or 5.34$/USG) up here.

I filled last evening here,Windsor,Ontario  1.30CAD/L  ,4.90 USD/gal.I know you guys always pay more in Quebec. Hmm, Canada is the largest oil exporter to United States, and we are paying 20-25% more, well we have "free" health care.

That one too? I know the one over in Marcus Hook stopped ops and looking for a buyer.

 yea. i think one in pa closed too. i read it somewhere, because between them, they accounted for about 20% of the gas in the northeast.

[ozrocker]

Wow. Prices keep climbing, maybe time to start riding a Horse
I bet the Amish over in Pa. are laughing and saying I told you so.
Kind of ironic since Oil was first discovered in Pa.

Last week, I saw $4.19 for 93 premium.

I just finished a replacement engine for my car that has dished instead of flattop pistons so I can run 87 octane at 6 pounds of boost and bring it up to 15 pounds with 93 and 25 pounds with C16.

The price difference between grades has increased greatly and it makes sense at this price point.

The other contigency I have is a turbodiesel inline six in storage I might install into a 240sx in a quest for 40mpg with the same performance (or better) as in stock configuration.
