Avg. $4.03 here and only will continue to increase. Maybe the dams will break in China, wipe out 1/2 the pop, then demand won't be so high......just a thought, and not a serious one.

I got some plans from a friend on that water hybrid, seems easy enough to build, but hooking it up correctly is the biggest prob. Another friend ordered a set and he says his is easy to build and hook up. I just have to get around to getting over there and compare his to these. What do I have to lose? He wants to hook up one to the ranger for a test, sure, I am game.
 
Don't we use more gasoline than China does?
I may be mistaken though.. I'll have to check on that.

the only thing i have to say is be glad you are not in the fishing industry, our fuel price at the dock is $4.89[untaxed]:bad:, we get a price break at 200 gallons-400gallons-600gallon. needless to say when we fill up it hits our wallet pretty hard. our last fill up cost $1400 and some change for two weeks, and that was after the price break:bad:

I just don't understand, if gas has doubled in price, then how can I still buy a 35 cent Debbie cake?

Who is taking the hit? I don't see higher prices in stores yet? :dunno:

Gas is $3.99 here in Illinois.

you're kidding me right?
 
i work at the local grocery store an high fuel prices have sent many items to increase prices.. a 6 pack of fresh bagels used to get 2.99 now their 3.99 nabisco crackers used to be 2 for 5 now their 2 for 6.. those are just a few items theirs MANY more that have gone up
 
High fuel prices haven't fully soaked in yet- with diesel fuel approaching $5 a gallon, you will see most products you buy go up in price. What some manufactures are doing now is selling less product for the same price. Consumers don't notice the "increase" because they don't look at how much product they are getting. Ice cream is one- used to get 1/2 a gallon, now get 1.75 quarts or sometimes even less.

I'd like to know where you go shopping. My grocery bill has gone up quite a bit.
 
I try not to bitch about prices cause it just makes it worse. Were just gonna keep getting fucked over cause everyone thinks the American people are a bunch of retards.

Congress sets up these meetings that they say they are trying to lower prices. those are a joke. You think congress gives a ****. there gas is all paid for and they are in bed with the oil companies.

You know what i say. BRING IT ON. If they dont wanna help me then i'll make it on my own
 
Regular is $4.26 here.

My buddy's uncle spent $100,000 filling a couple of his tugs the other day....
 
$4.23 average here... $4.89 avergage for diesel. Makes it hard for truckers when they're spending almost $1200 to fill up... When my dad quit truckin couple years ago it was costing $600 a fill up.
 
Have you bought milk lately?

yeah no shit..does this guy even shop for food?..i have 5 kids..


damn cotage cheese deal last one meal...8 bux....thats one side item...luckily we buy meat when we can bulk from the amish and local herds which helps...but 5-6 gallons of milk per week is 20-25 bux here in northern mi these days, must be nice to have cheap food still...


shit goes up anymore and i will have to live at work..:no2:
