Gas Prices

Have you been to the gas pump lately?  Damn!  Those gas prices are outrageous.  For me to fill up, it cost $50.  Ouch!  Back in the old days, it used to cost me just about $20.  I guess those days are gone.

Of course I use regular gas.  None of those super or plus.  I don't care what gas level my car requires for performance, for now it'll be eating regular gas.  In my area, some gas stations don't have regular gas.  Why?  Because they ran out of them.  I guess when gas price is this high, regular is the most popular flavor.

Look at Bush here. He's probably happy as hell.  Why?  His family is in the oil business.  When gas prices are this high, expect the oil business people to profit a lot.  Hell I would be happy too if I was in the oil business.  But I'm not.  I'm in the student business, which isn't much profitable, but rather close to poverty.

 

This guy's probably thinking, "As soon as I fill up my car, I should just fucking jet!"  I'm sure you have probably thought of this while at the pump.  I have actually seen people fill up their cars and just toke off.  What do you expect?  Gas price is damn expensive.  There are people out there that basically can't really afford gas.  So there will be people that will fill up and immediately take off.  I think they call this gas crime?  Of course some gas stations have cameras.  So it would be unwise to do so.  But there are those gas stations that don't have cameras.  If I was one of the owners of these gas stations, I would worried.

Would I want full service at the pump?  Hell no!  At these prices, self-service is good enough for me.  At these prices, I can't afford to tip these pitiful full-service people.

This pic is just scary and horrifying to look at.  This pic is scarier than movies such as The Grudge, Sixth Sense, or The Ring.

How much does it take you to fill up at the pump?

I remember when I first started driving (5 years ago, sheesh!), I could go to the gas station, give the clerk $20, fill up (about 13 gallons), and come back for change.

None of the prices you have pictures of comes close to the price here. $3.25 per gallon. Back in my hometown my mom says it's about $3.60! Eeek!

Thankfully I have a Corolla now (40mpg!!!) with a small tank so it only costs about $33 for 9 or 10 gallons. But still, that's robbery! I live on campus though so I never drive anywhere. Whew!

As of now 0 bucks because I live in NYC.  However, there's  usually a lag time in the city to the efffects of hicking oil prices because public transportation prices will probably go up next year.

You pictures are quite entertaining.  Oh don't drive in New Jersey because ALL gas stations a full-service.

I hope that the prices go down a bit soon because I am supposed to Virginia for Memorial day.

Well, I don't own a car yet, but I'm guessing it's around fifty dollars also.

Man, my dad is so "Asian" that when gas prices were around $2.80, he brought extra tanks (mostly water jugs or milk gallon things) in the trunk of the car and filled up EXTRA gas. Yeah, us Asians are cheap like that.

it take me about $50-55 to fill my tank up and that just regular. this price is just for my sedan car not a truck or SUV....when I took my dad Suburban it about 70 to fill that thing up.....  I should have brought the stock of Mobile or Chevron when its was low, now the profit for the stock owner are about 10G.....

lol, i don't know coz i make my hubby go fill up the cars.  but it's probably abt the same as what you're paying coz the prices are abt $3 per gallon for regular.  i can't imagine what pple in japan, hong kong, sweden, etc. are paying now since prices are so high here!

rcy: thanks for the support.

It costs me $50 to fill up... but I don't care.

If you can't afford to drive, don't. Just don't come bitching to me.
