    Oil hit 100 bucks a barrel

    I am preparing my pooper for this one... My services will reflect the current market price on fuel

    Damn, I didn't catch my daily dose of CNN today. I kind of figured it would hit $100

    Yours aren't the only services that are going to be affected. Every single item we buy at the store has to get there utilizing oil. Fuel and utility bills are going to go up....people are going to be needing higher efficient furnaces and AC units...wait a minute, this won't be so bad, I think I may be alright after all.

    I filled up for $2.4x/gallon today but it was with E85, I love my new tahoe it was around .50 cheaper than 87 unleaded

    85 make like 20-30 less HP and 2-3 less MPG. Plus that is making all foods go up in price due to the corn shortage. Cattle feed and cereal both went up.

    I have been watching my mpg and after two full tanks of E85 I am seeing the same MPG as I did using 87

    That is nice to hear. I guess the data isn't always right. Didn't you get the E85 sticker on the dash saying the loss in power and economy? I saw one in the showroom at Reliable the other day.

    The end is near

    Ethanol is a focking joke it takes as much energy to produce it as it provides the end user

    enjoy the cheaper gas while it last the price of fuel has risen over 50% in the last 12 months and is heading north the UK topped $8 bucks a gallon today

    Good thing we are solidifying our oil interest in the middle east

    I paid 3.39 last night at the corner station. I was already pumping away before I realized I was getting screwed. This is not funny.
