hey John, gas prices suck. I run two service vans, its going to cost me about $450.00 a week. I have to raise my rates to keep up. I guess all transportation costs are going up, meaning more for food, clothing(just in time for back to school shopping) and every other product that is shipped in.
PS.. thanks for the clutch info

It sucks big time, but when indexed with inflation it is still not at recorded highs (Yet!). Also cars get better MPG then they did 20 years ago during the last big spike. Also ever see the gas prices in Europe.

Fuel Prices In Perspective
Every time I begin to get bummed out about fuel prices, I stop and think about my inlaws in the UK....When I was there in June, they were paying between between 4-5 British Pounds per gallon! In American dollars this is roughly $9.00 plus per gallon!!! I went to fill my mother-in-law's tiny 4 cyl. hatchback and spent about $55.-$60.!!!! OUCH!!!! Remember that even now at the worst of times we still have it pretty good

Who's kidding who?
I can't F'n believe how the Middle East has created this ficticous Supply and Demand scenario which has more than doubled the price of a barrel of crude in a year or so. Then, no more than 2 days after Katrina, Gas prices rise upwards of $.50 a gallon 
What kind of Bull $hit is that? And what is being done to remedy the situation??
Absolutely nothing
Prepare for the worse. Sorry for the rant, but I drive 86 miles round trip a day to work

$2.949 here for Sunoco Ultra 94 in Northern Bergen County.
You peeps down in Monmouth and Ocean really seem to be taking deep!
It might be time for all of you to use 83-84 and throw in a can of Torco.
