Gas up again!

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

The gas stations here are all just below $4.00--we'll see today which one will be the first to break $4.00.

Diesel is $4.35

$3.79 here after lent I'll be drinking Miller highlife only if this keeps up. This could be the Miller highlife summer. That's sounds kinda cool

Gas here jumped $.20 today to $4.19 a gallon, that is $.15 higher than 2008 when it topped out at $4.05. Might be walking if this keeps up.

I would be more then happy to only pay $4.19 a gallon.
In oil rich Alberta it's $4.46 hard Canadian currency !

= US$4.66

Oil rich Alberto VO5 ??

Doesn't make any difference to me how much it is a gallon. I only put $25 worth at each fill up!

Wouldn't you prefer to put in 10 gallons instead of only 6?

I am going to show my age here but I can recall buying gas for less than $1/gallon.

I remember 7 hamburgers for a dollar at McDonalds.

I have stayed home the last three days, I was surprised it was $3.99 today at a local station. It was twenty cents cheaper the last time I bought some, I thought the price was supposed to be dropping. I'm thankful I don't live in Canada.

I also remember gas for under $1.00 a gallon seems like a very long time ago though.

It works out both ways.
I might pay an extra 50 cents a gallon, but didn't have a penny to pay at the doctors office today !
That even beats UPS USA insurance !
Not even the $25 you pay... I paid zip, zero !
And don't even need a job !

I remember this, as well. Oh, and I think your age is shown in MOST of your posts, just sayin...

Oh Canada! You can't call him a broken record anymore. Maybe his computer has a virus?

Are you kidding???

You could have T-shirts made up with this saying.

So you never tire of hearing about Canada's wonderful, unequaled health care? I admire that.

Jumped 6 cents/ltr overnight here.
US$4.86 / gallon.

In the UK a gallon of petrol/gas costs over $10.

Indeed, it reminds me of that tom hanks film about a band that rides one song up the charts. I believe the band that repeatedely played the one song was called "the Wonders". Klein's same old song is performed repeatedly by the musical group, "the Deadbeats" of which he is the founder and lead singer.

API (Amer. Petroleum Institute) says its members earn about 8.3 cents per dollar invested, compared to 18.4 cents for pharmaceutical manufacturers and 19.1 cents for beverage and tobacco producers.

There is just so much money, but the actual percent of profit is actually quite modest compared to other businesses.
The oil companies deserve to make a modest percent profit.....businesses have to make profit......although the gov't hasn't figured that out yet.....ie: USPS and GM
