Price of gas[views:14614][posts:90]______________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 8:56am - the_reverend ""] $2.62 in Portsmouth. I also have a 13.2 gallon tank that had 1+ gallon left in it. the pump was really slow and I somehow magically put in 13.4 gallons. something's wrong there. where can I repost broken pumps? |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 8:57am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] I thought there were record profits last year, it will never go down to under $2.00 again. |

| ______________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 9:46am - the_reverend ""] I'm guessing I have to find a different gas station to hit. the pump being that off is a serious issue. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 9:46am - anonymous ""] Arnt the Europeans paying like $5 a gallon over there? |

| _______________________________ [Apr 10,2006 9:59am - honk ""] This upcoming hurricane season is gonna blow big time. We'll probably see $4/gallon (easily) and what the fuck do we do then? Stay home and stop living? Most people cant all of a sudden afford to buy "earth friendly" fueled cars. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 10:06am - the_reverend ""] it's all the soccer mom's blowing fuel to drive the kids around in a huge car. not only did they probably waste $30K on the car, but they blow 12-18mpg to do it. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 10:09am - thedeparted ""] $2.67 i saw yesterday in Warwick |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 10:58am - Jugulator ""] $2.55 in my area.If gas prices hit $4 I say we start a revolution!!! |

In Mass. pumps have an inspection sticker on them with the number to call if you feel you've been ripped off. I'm pretty sure I've seen similar stickers on pumps in New Hampshire |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 11:18am - thedeparted ""] gas has been over $5 in some major cities...where was the revolution then buddy |
| ______________________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 11:22am - Robbieofthedeparted ""] it wouldnt be that much of a problem if everyone got a raise when inflation took over but no dice prices go up hourly rates stay the fuckin same |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 11:23am - wade nli ""] c'mon now this is easy. that's so we'll all use credit cards! they pay good money for their government. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 11:24am - wade nli ""] people living paycheck to paycheck isn't good enough for Citiback, MBNA and the rest of those fucks. |
| ______________________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 11:35am - Robbieofthedeparted ""] yeah my credit is ruined and I barely make it with paycheck to paycheck my car used to be $14 bottom to top it cost $42.10 now its a fuckin accord good thing I didnt buy that XLT Bronco years ago |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 11:46am - Messerschmitt ""] i just paid 20 bucks for not even half a tank. i go to 7/11. the aboos give me a free coffee between 11am and 2pm with 20 bucks or more in gas. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 11:58am - the_reverend ""] and think, this is the time of the year that gas is the cheapest. oil companies and making all their cash of heat and it's before the big driving season. lame. |

WEights and measures, their phone number is posted on the gas pumps. However, if you're one of those retards who keeps clicking the handle after it stops to top off your tank or make an even dollar amount, don't bother calling. When people do this, what they don't realize is that they're actually sucking gas OUT of their tank every time they click that handle again. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 12:06pm - the_reverend ""] no, you aren't sucking gas out, you fill up the neck and then can damage your emissions system if the temperature changes. I just listened to the car talk guys talking about this. |

I wonder what their combined mpg is. Maybe all those extra gears help them out at highways speeds? Honestly, I've never seen people talk about how much gas those trucks use...I NEED STATS! ;) |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 12:23pm - the_reverend ""] they get about 2mpg |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 12:23pm - succubus ""] once it clicks...STOP putting gas....car talk also said that mr aaron... |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 12:24pm - Messerschmitt ""] the 18-wheelers are working. soccer moms are busy driving around their 2 kids in an excursion for no good reason cunts |
| _______________________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 12:27pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] What the hell is the clicking noise? Sorry I don't fill up my tank Mr. Millionaire. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 12:30pm - honkTres ""] Messerschmitt said:the 18-wheelers are working. soccer moms are busy driving around their 2 kids in an excursion for no good reason cunts still doesnt change the fact of terrible gas mileage. a single minivan and the gas it uses it DWARVED buy the tons of gas used by a single 18 wheeler. what if that truck hauls pop music around? is it justified then? not everything hauled is worth something. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 12:43pm - the_reverend ""] you obviously didn't watch 3.2.1. contact where they had the compact car vs the school bus. |

And fuck those soccer moms too, they can fit their yuppie-spawn in the back of a compact car no problem...even if they're fucking FAT! What really pisses me off is that none of those retardedly large trucks are ever used off road or to haul shit around, you know, like what they were made for, instead they have brats and groceries in them. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 1:38pm - anonymous ""] DAMN THE MAN! STEAL GAS!!!! I highly recommend it....it's very easy and if done correctly can work out fine. What I do is....cover all indentity markers...like stickers...whatever makes your car stand out from the rest. I use black electrical tape cause I have a black car. Next....take your front liscense plate off before you get anywhere near the gas station. Leave the rear one on. It helps to make the plates easy to take off (wingnuts are great, cause you can do it by hand). Find a crowded gas station that has a lot going on....I like doing it around the evenings when ppl are getting out of work. I always map out the station a bit to get an idea of escape routes. Once you know where you want to hit take your rear plate off very close to the gas station...make sure it's close though...so you don't get pulled over for having no plates. Wear a hoodie...sunglasses, whatever...in case you're on camera (most likely you will be) I like to look like the unabomber pumping gas =). Fill that fucker up with the HIGEST GRADE of gas....get in the car...and just fucking take off. Simple. Stop somewhere as soon as you can and put your plate back on. I know it may sound a bit sketchy....but overall it's been very easy for me. It's saved me tons of money as well! I try to do it every few weeks in between paying for gas. Oh yeah...I don't recommend hitting stations in your own town...find somewhere you wouldn't commonly get gas in the first place. Stay away from your local stores that you frequent. I know it may sound too risky to some of you. But damn, once you steal that gas....it really sucks paying for it ever again. Anyway...anyone got similar methods out there? |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 1:43pm - HailTheLeaf ""] haha, rock on...I personally wouldn't try it, but hell yeah, stick it to the man! I'll be driving around on used veggie oil this summer, fuck the oil industry. |
| ______________________________________________ [Apr 10,2006 1:48pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] If you use the highest grade of gas on a car that doesn't need it can't you actually reduce your fuel efficiency...DAMN THAT CRAFTY MAN!!!! |

With the price of gas getting more and more ridiculous, this is becoming more common every day. More and more stations are switching to the pay before you pump policy because of all the theft. I'm not saying you shouldn't steal gas, but don't fool yourself into thinking you're getting over on "The Man". All you are getting over on is the poor schlub who owns that particular gas station. If you want to get back at the oil companies you'll have to buy a long-range rifle and take out a few executives. |

How does it feel to have your entire way of life depend on criminals in suits? |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 18,2006 5:13pm - the_reverend ""] it's getting closer and closer to $3 |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 18,2006 5:24pm - mOe @ work ""] i saw a place on my way home from Worcester that had $3.01 for Premium gas |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 18,2006 5:24pm - mOe @ work ""] i just dont get it, they had a good excuse with Katrina, but whats their excuse now |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 18,2006 5:28pm - mike............ ""] in the netherlands its around 1.70 euros for a liter, which comes out to approx. 8 dollars a gallon. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 18,2006 5:36pm - dertoxia ""] It's been 3 dollars a gallon for the past week here in Albany. The cheapest i've found lately is 2.89 |

| ________________________________________________ [Apr 18,2006 5:44pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] there excuse now is we use to much and they need to raises prices for supply and demand. also stealing gas was the way to go for me down in VA, fuck if im trying that shit up here. this is also the one reason im glad im taking the T around. |

| _____________________________________________ [Apr 18,2006 6:25pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] sean, i heard prices are up because of the situation in niger or someplace around there in west africa; i could be wrong. either way, this sucks. good thing i'm slightly crippled so i don't have to do that much driving for a few weeks, haha. cheapest i've seen is the hess near my school, $2.69 a gallon. highest i've seen is $2.89, not including premium prices |
| ________________________________________________ [Apr 18,2006 6:29pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] i dont even look, after the summer i plan on switching to either cambridge or fenway so i dont need to take the T or drive anywhere i can walk or ride my bike from now on. i lose too much money taking the T to work or driving. also i heard the thing about supply and demand on fox, so you know how well that information is. |
| _____________________________________________ [Apr 18,2006 6:38pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] fox is the most reputable and reliable source for the most up to date bullshit i mean news in the world. |
| ________________________________________________ [Apr 18,2006 6:40pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] dood but they got fox sports, family guy and the simpsons. how could they be wrong |
| _____________________________________________ [Apr 18,2006 6:42pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] i never said they were wrong. haha |
