    I used to love driving my sports car, but 14 MPG in a new Z ain't cuttin' it. I put in $20 yesterday and got a WHOLE 1/4 of a tank. :rolleyes:

    Now granny driving, 1st, to 3rd to 6th, all before 40mph. Now I'm up to an astounding 18.5 MPG in city.

    Impeach Bush.

    No it's everyday. I have to provide my own transportation for work. I'm a lease operator in the oilfield. I do get paid by the mile(also per day) so it makes up what I have to put in every day.

    You can thank the FED and our lawmakers for making our money worthless. Everyone thinks it's about supply/demand or hostilities in foreign countries that are the cause for the increase in oil when in fact it's actually the value of the dollar dropping like a brick in relation to gold that is jacking the prices of commodities up. I feel bad for the working poor.

    Since the beginning of March, the price of oil is up about 20-25%, while the dollar is down about 1 or 2%. There's a lot more to it than the falling dollar.

    I usually only drive my car on the weekends. For the most part I ride my bike.

    I paid $3.59 the other day for regular. $50 usually lasts me two weeks though. I drive a Chevy Colorado and just don't drive much.

    in germany the gas price right now is on an all time high. we're paying about 1.45 euro per litre which is about 8.5 $ per gallon.

    and yet you guys are whining. ;)

    $3.76 at a Shell on Crosstimbers and 45.

    How is it $3.76 there, then like not even 2 miles down the road theres a Texaco that has it at $3.59?

    [Fully realizes that this probably belongs in D&D]

    It's down 1 or 2% against what?

    Here's the increase in the price of oil over the previous eight years, ending in January.

    We've printed a lot of money to avoid a recession. It shouldn't surprise anyone that prices are going up. We're destroying the dollar to save a few bankers.
