Here in the wild wild west... by iluvmysephia1

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!

...oil refiners and marketers don't tell the truth; they're like Congress and bankers and tobacco executives...
 
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!!

Yes I have and think it would be a practical EV for many people. I believe the $7500 tax credit should apply. If the B-zero has 16KWH of battery it will qualify for the full credit. I would love to see the whole $billion tax credit gone before the dweebs at GM launch their Volt. Trouble is getting past all the regulations will be tough for these small practical EVs.

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.

Just topped off the Lexus at Costco. Premium $2.39 up 2 cents from yesterday. Most stations that sell diesel have it at the same price as RUG or Midgrade.

$2.39 is a typical diesel price at the majors here.
 
Regular has crept up to $1.89. I forgot to note the premium prices; probably $2.11 and getting close to parity with diesel.

was for $1.93 at my usual Jewels, which is now giving incentives if you use your Jewel's card - knocks a coupe cents off per gallon.
 
Overall we seem to be riding on the $1.94 or $1.99 coaster. The stations start at $1.94, then some rise to $1.99, then back down a couple days later to $1.94. Must be following this weather pattern we're going through.

Gas here in NY has topped $2 for RUG and is in the $2.02 to $2.10 range.
 
The prices both for retail and wholesale gas seemed to be going ever higher despite a drop in oil prices. Then, just about the same time that people started yelling about this fact here on Edmunds the wholesale price of gas dropped from about $1.26 to $1.10 yesterday.
 
Could we really have that much power?

It would be nice to think so, LOL.
 
In our neck of the woods (central VA), our RUG prices have crept up to the $1.81 to $1.85 range. A lot better than a year ago, but I'm keeping that receipt from December when I paid $1.35 in NJ near where fezo lives as a souvenir.
