• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Gas prices!!!

You got me beat!!!

In Viginia Beach, VA, I'm paying $3.68 for Premium. Surely, no cause for a party, but it beats what you are paying right now!! :yikes::sour:
 
$3.74 here at KWIK Fill if you have their charge card.:banghead::banghead: Will only get worse as the weather warms up. For 87 octane e-10.
 
And just last night i saw something about how much the gas the U.S. is now exporting because we have an over abundance. Would someoine please explain all of this to me. :hun:
 
Yes, gas prices are on the way up AGAIN. It seemed to slow down a bit last summer and did not hit my prediction of $5.00 per gallon.

Yesterday, it went up another nickel to $3.77 per gallon for regular. That is the third .05 increase in less than a week. $4.07 for :spyder2: feed (premium). How high will they go this year? Out of town, 25 miles or so, and you can add .10 to .20 per gallon at any gas station along the road.
 
No, the united states of america is now an exporter of petroleum, Gasoline, what ever you want to call it. This happened about 3 or 4 months ago for the first time in about 35 years.
 
Yesterday I paid less per gallon for diesel than I did for gas. Usually diesel costs about 20 to 30 cents ore per gallon.

No, simple supply and demand.

Profit is not greed and is what makes a free market economy work.

Oh, and its all my fault the price is headed up nation wide. I accidentally mentioned to my oil company client that I was going on vacation for 2 weeks. A 3000 mile RV trip......this happens every time we head out. It will come down again in June after we are home.

I can't wait to see how the supply/demand argument will go on this one because we are now exporting some oil.

Maybe along the lines of...There is a high foreign demand for our product, causing a bidding war for it...therefore...the price of our oil is being driven up by the competition. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
 
Timely. I just paid 3.95 for 93 octane. That was a 5 cent per gallon discount. May is just around the corner. Vacations are going to start cranking up not to mention three day weekend holidays. I may start using mid grade. Take heart though, the economy is improving, jobless rates are plummeting.
 
Ours just went up as well, $1.36 per liter.
4 liters into a gallon + $5.44 !:yikes:

Oh, did I mention I have a refinery less than 5 miles from my house???
Must be all those shipping charges. nojoke

Supply and demand in a global economy. Import or export really has no bearing on the overall world market price. What IS driving up the price you pay is the devaluing of the US dollar. As in it costs more of them to buy oil.

I knew there would be an explanation. Thanks. :yes::yes::yes:
 
$4.19/gal for premium yesterday.

Everyone likes to harp on the oil companies for high prices......................do some internet research on gasoline pricing to see where each cent of a dollar of gas goes to (the split is different from state to state depending on state gas tax). Might surprise you. I would like to see a unitary gas formulation standard, across all grades, for all 50 states. Too many different blends to too many geographic areas is part of the problem, as is lack of refinery capacity (which the oil companies/refiners like to blame on the eco freak lobby; who are in fact; responsible for opposing new refinery construction over a long period of time...........on the other hand; who benefits most from lower production and higher unit cost................that's right; the oil companies/refiners).
 
Well..!!

I live in California.....:mad:....must be why we don't have inspections or need to test or apply for a license to ryde roadsters. They don't want to loose out on us...:roflblack: But I manage to get by though the neighbors are getting real :cus: mileage in their cars...:roflblack:
