stupid gas prices
A barrell of oil today was down to 109/bl and yet gas prices are still as high as they were when it was 150/bl. Odds of it going down? slim to none i say.

All of this crap with oil is REALLY making me think I should sell the Cadillac and get an electric bicycle.

Re: stupid gas prices
Gas companies can charge whatever they want.
Personal choices will dictate how much of your paycheque they take. Right now I am running two vehicles 100km/day. I don't like it, but I am planning to change it by moving closer to where I work and cycling on good days.
But when I hear the Albertans around here complaining about gas prices after they've driven four or five hours in their Escalade towing a huge wakeboard boat, it makes me shake my head

Do you have any idea how much fuel a good wakeboard boat sucks? Spending that much on fuel for a day at the lake is making it hard to afford our 450,000 dollar houses
Re: stupid gas prices
It seems to me that these continued high fuel costs amount to price fixing, is that not illegal? Gee, wheres my lawyer, i'm gonna get lawyered up and sue some gas company

I'm givin er all she's got..
Re: stupid gas prices
As was explained to me, this lower oil is 'October Oil'... so we won't see the lower price until then. On a side note, this same guy who explained this all to me couldn't explain 'Why the F' the price of gas goes up instantly when oil goes up. I'm sure it's all legal, and there's no collusion going on out there...
After all, I'm sure the company that refines the gas for Co-Op has the the same exact costs(to the tenth of a cent) as Esso or Shell...

Add the ones who drive pickups with the custom flatbeds who 'show off' by carrying 4 atv's all the time in the summer and 2 skidoo's in the winter. Talk about deadweight.
Having a standard that pilots lose their licence after making a mistake despite doing no harm to aircraft or passengers means soon you needn't worry about a pilot surplus or pilots offering to fly for free. Where do you get your experience from?
Re: stupid gas prices
I always figured the guys that drive all the time with snowmobiles in the back haven't figured out how to use 'em yet, so they stay on the truck.
