The other day, I filled up my '79 NYer, with 93 octane, and it was around $2.19 per gallon. I wanted to whine about the price going up, but then I looked at my mileage log. The last time this car had been filled up was in October! And the cost then was $3.19 per gallon, for 89 octane! So that cut the urge to whine, real fast! I think 87 octane is running around $1.85-1.90 around these parts. |

Replying to: jae5 (Feb 13, 2009 4:54 am) I think I've figured out by now that oil refiners and marketers don't tell the truth; they're like Congress and bankers and tobacco executives. When the excess stock hit them last December with lower usage, they worked to reduce refining to decrease the stock to bring prices up. They succeeded. Marathon/Speedway jacks the price up for no market reason in this area whenever the street prices drop competitively. Then they lower the price down over a few days or week to a little below the jacked up price. Then a couple weeks later they do that all again. Overall they raise the price. Stations are $1.80s to $1.90s after a price rise on Tuesday this week.

Willcox, AZ, Doc's and Mustang and the two Circle K's are all competing for our RUG business, charging us $1.99/gal. All of this talk of manipulation has got me thinking 2010 Pininfarina-Bollore B-Zero again. The Italian-French collabaration is coming to three U.S. test markets in 2009, one of them being L.A. My next point: Will the $7,500 Barack Obama rebate apply to this all-electric car? Has anyone else besides me even heard of this car would be my next question!

Replying to: imidazol97 (Feb 13, 2009 5:35 am) Agreed. I'm actually amazed at how they can just lie with a straight face - they must be damn good at poker!! I just feel sorry for my television; I know it's getting tired of me yelling at it whenever I watch all these you-know-whats on the business channels. Between them, Asman, Cavuto and their cohorts I'm going to burst a blood-vessel!!

I agree, the homogolation and crashtests, etc., are going to be huge for the B-Zero. Oh well, if the Smartcar can make it the 2010 Pininfarina-Bollore B-Zero can, too. We're probably gonna hold with our 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS for a long, long while yet. It's a great compact car and I love it more now than when I bought it two years ago, exactly the date being 03/21/07. Oh, ghastly is resting here at $1.99/gal for RUG...still. Here we're waiting for the next made-up reason for the oil industry and futures-traders to raise the ghastly prices to $2.75/gal for RUG.
