Default RE: gas costs

I have a truck and a mustang. I dont own either to save on gas, its to have fun driving them! It is upsetting to see the prices go so high though[:@] im just planning to get a mid 90's bike, they are only like $1500.

And today one of my instructors who owns a home in vegas said that over in vegas gas is about 2.18, and over in socal hes paying 3.50+ his reasoning is, No matter what happens to gas prices in so cal were still gonna buy it anyways because were so "car" oriented and our population is so ****ing huge.

$3.75 here in so cal. for 91. Doesn't matter if gas hit 10 bucks a gallon, we are so dependent on transportation we would be forced to have to pay that price. God forbid if it ever did.

The people I feel sorry for are those who have to drive for a living. Truck drivers, that kind of thing. Can you imagine how much an extra $1 per gallon costs a trucker who drives several hundred thousand miles a year in a truck that gets 6 miles to the gallon on a good day?

thats why prices for everything go up, because of the shipping cost.

I don't like when people make a huge deal about buying premium over regular, it's like .30 more a gallon. If you're driving a V8 that's not that big of a deal.
