i know i know, another gas thread.

i don't know why every one at work thinks i'm a rabble rouser.

i have heard from several people that it will hit 5 here. as of right now it is 3.45 to 3.50 a gal. or unless like me go to BJ's Wholesale club. 3.35 a gal there.

unfortunatley it probably will. Unless everyone in america just stops buying fuel I don't see an end in sight for rising costs.

I've paid over 4.00 a gallon for diesel the last two times I filled up.

mudseeker · 04-24-2008, 08:28 AM

it hit $3.70 a gallon here for regular. desiel has been around $4.15 for a few weeks.

03chevy · 04-24-2008, 08:37 AM

desiel is 4.20 a gallon here and goes up about .03 to .05 cents a week

Gasoline was $4.03 at the Sheetz in Selinsgrove,PA. I almost passed out when I put $12 in my Dakota and only got two and half gallons. If it keeps up like this, I'll sell my trucks and start riding a motorcycle again.

just think, when i first started driving $20 would almost fill my tank. now i'm luckey if it gives me a quarter of a tank.

if it wasn't for all the wack jobs on the road i would ride a bike also, at least i'm somewhat safe in my truck.

When I first started driving gas was about .35 cents a gallon and cigarettes were .40 cents a pack!!

I hate to see it happen too. When I first started driving, leaded gasoline was an option....and cheaper than unleaded. $15 was more than enough to fill up the Jeep! As mentioned above, $15 doesn't touch a modern full sized truck. 26 gallons on my new ride......what, $80 to fill it up?
