Can y'all put some gas in cans and send it to me? Can't get it here unless you happen to be driving by a station when the delivery truck comes. Some people just park at the pump in the morning and hope that a truck will come...eventually.
usually it would cost me around mid 40's to fill up my tank. now with the gas price increase cause of hurricane katrina.....it cost me 78 bucks to fill up my tank the other day!!! so crazy!!!!
You know what's even sadder? I PREFER to drive my V-8, gas-guzzling Silverado on a day-to-day basis so I can save the Z for the weekends and roadtrips. You wanna imagine what that's costing me? $6/day just to get to and from work. Crap, I never did the math before. This sucks. Maybe I should have bought another motorcycle instead of a Z and used that for commuting.
update to my post....on my way home froma BBQ tonight I stopped at the same station by the shop. I guess someone caught wind as super was back up to 3.59. Congrats to anyone who got in at the 'low" price
ya need to buy a Scion...hahah....if ya want one in the Houston area, hit me up and tell me what you wanna get...hahaha....and of course, you can bring your Z in to me and we'll trade you out of it....haha....
i filled up the day before katrina hit the gulf @2.79 for 93 octane....3 days later it was up to 3.79...what makes fuel cost so much in the u.s is taxes and additives that the epa requires for cleaner burning. also if you go to the department of energys web site you will find out that 40 to 45% of the oil we consume comes from the gulf. the problem is that there is so many retstrictions on clean burning fuel that know one wants to build more refinerys. if you crack open a motor that has lets say 50000 miles on the odometer today it would be pretty clean, but 10yrs ago if you did this the motor would be covered in carbon deposits. lets save the trees..



Still can't make me buy a hybrid! lol
