Posted By: jkyocom Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Tue Oct 07 2008 09:56 PM
In the southeast we are just getting back to having gas.....
These folks are NUTS!!!!!!!Did anyone see the lines on the news? Fights, yelling, etc.
I can just imagine the chaos if the grocery stores ran low!!!!
Still getting raped here....$3.77
It was up to $4.50 last week.
I filled up both trucks before the spike, and made it through.

THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD !!!!
When is anyone going to admit that the world is overpopulated? With everyone looking for an answer to "GLOBAL WARMING" it is strange no one has addressed this FACT.
HMMMM.....less people, less co2 emissions....DUH !!!!
MY 2 BIG CENTS

Nobody wants to admit we have too many people, because population control is unpopular. It is overpopulation that makes out area more expensive and has eliminated most of the great old collectables.
Posted By: Alex Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Wed Oct 08 2008 02:37 AM
Went from 3.39 to 3.29 from my earlier post.
Posted By: JimT Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Wed Oct 08 2008 09:04 AM
See- it worked. Now we think were getting a bargain when we "only" pay 3.00 a gallon.
Posted By: tallrick Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Wed Oct 08 2008 12:42 PM
I am glad that I am just days away from my fuel costing nothing as I am cranking it out myself at home.
Posted By: Dick Bennett Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Wed Oct 08 2008 01:07 PM
But what has the process cost to make your own ?
Can you carry enough to make a long trip ?
Posted By: THE SERVICE GARAGE Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Wed Oct 08 2008 01:13 PM
ITS NOW DOWN TO $2.89 AND HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
Posted By: tallrick Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Wed Oct 08 2008 01:45 PM
It only costs my time as I am using palm seeds as the feedstock, and gathering used cooking oil. My other project is gasification of old tires, or biomass to produce gasoline. As long as I have a source for free waste I can drive. For long trips I can either seek out local restaurants or use the wood powered van with waste wood. But I have older cars so their engines are very forgiving. Most of my trips are within 40 miles of my home so I can fill my tank with my backyard pump.

You have my attention. I have a '95 explorer that i love that, if possible, could be made to run on homemade fuel.

In sweden we pay 6,84 $ for one US gallon, we would love to have your price on it..
Posted By: wfort39663 Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Thu Oct 09 2008 02:19 PM
Yesterday it started at 277.9 per gallon and ended up at 274.9. Haven't been out today to see if it has changed again. Just hope other parts of the country also come down likewise.


Update, down to 268.9

Forgive me for being cynical but it seems like just before election time sorta to me.
Posted By: Esse's Garage Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Sun Oct 12 2008 12:07 AM
$2.77 here just 6 blocks away from my house. And I think it is going to keep going Down Oil is down to what it was 13 months ago. Now if oil would just stay there and the DOW would go back up the 5500 points that it is down from one year ago!!

Posted By: eshaver Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Mon Oct 13 2008 10:16 PM
Well, if you come south of the James River, gasoline really does cost a lot less. I found regular gasoilne for $3.09 at a WAWA station on U. S 60, Midlothian yesterday
Posted By: tx_oil Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Mon Oct 13 2008 10:54 PM
Paid 3.15 here in Lafayette LA. Wonder why it costs more here where it is refined??? makes no sense to me.
Posted By: hotcidr Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Tue Oct 14 2008 01:43 PM
We just returned from a 7000 mile cross country trip. We paid $2.89 in Arkansas and then, just outside Branson, Mo $2.69. Mostly in the $3.39 to $3.69 area.
Posted By: oilmanpat Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Tue Oct 14 2008 07:56 PM
It went down to $2.49 here today,sure makes me wonder why our wonderful leaders can not have anty more control on things than they do. I won't say where I think Bush has his head but I sure hope there is room for our next leaader to join him. I bet you can bank on more of the same to happen in the future. We'll just see where gas prices go after the election.
Posted By: Dick Bennett Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Tue Oct 14 2008 09:01 PM
Until we start using an alternative fuel source in great quantities, oil/gas prices will continue to rise. Less demand is the only thing that will bring the prices down.
Posted By: mMike Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Fri Oct 17 2008 12:59 AM
Was 1.059$ / liter here earlier this week here in Montreal area. (that means +or- 4$ a gallon).

Today.... surprise! just jumped 10 cents higher.

How can you explain that?! Oil is going down and they are finding ways to still boost their prices...
Posted By: THE SERVICE GARAGE Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Thu Oct 23 2008 05:59 PM
Sorry to bring this back up but about 30 miles north of the Twin Cities its $2.26 and know one has woke me up from my dream yet.
This is what I use to call a wet dream.
Posted By: Jack R Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Thu Oct 23 2008 08:24 PM

When I got home from the Peotone show I was surprised to see that gas had droped 28 cents over the weekend and was now selling for 197.9. How far can it go?
Posted By: Ohio Oil Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Mon Oct 27 2008 02:14 PM
Probably going to be short lived, OPEC is meeting with the probable outcome of reducing output = higher prices.
Posted By: Scott Baselt Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Mon Oct 27 2008 02:30 PM
I finally saw gas drop below $3.00 a gallon here in California. On Saturday I filled up at $2.89 a gallon in Santa Rosa at Rotten Robbies.

Hi,
Here in New Zealand it has gone down from about $2.05 a litre to $1.82 a litre in the last few weeks (1 gal = 3.785 litres) approx $6.88 a u.s gallon...
Posted By: Coops 427 Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Mon Oct 27 2008 10:29 PM
$1.99 per gallon in Kansas City, MO today and still dropping. Come around Thanksgiving when people have to travel and the election is over the top brass will make up some excuse to spike the price. For now I'm not complaining.

Posted By: wfort39663 Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Fri Oct 31 2008 02:56 AM
$1.89.9 here today.
Posted By: Wes Hague Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Fri Oct 31 2008 10:13 AM
.90 cents per litre here today,,, that relates to approx. $3.60 a US gallon.. The oil companies got us tricked,,, now we think .90 cents a litre is cheap,, earlier in the year they had it up as high as $1.40 per litre and that relates to approx.$5.60 per US gallon.. You guys in the USA got it made at $1.89 per gallon.
Posted By: bruzer75 Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - Fri Oct 31 2008 11:39 AM
It is nice to see the prices going down but I predict the gas prices will stop lowering November 5th. I'm still riding my bicycle as much as I can.
