Son works for gas station, said prices to raise ONE DOLLAR

which state?

texas. said he got it from management to see the price of gas increase by one whole buck.

if its in texas its probably going to be elsewhere.

-sigh-

thanks OP

Most likely it will happen here in Canada too..it's already 98 cents a litre here. It will probably go up a buck in march if there is a war

some are saying 5-6bux a gallon" I wont be driving except for emergencies if that happens.

quick,VLO

time to buy a bike

or walk

If true, bad news for the economy, It
would be an excuse for a failed financial
system though. Would be surprised to see
gas go up before the upcoming SOTU
address.

Yikes thats a hundred buck per week for me....

disturbing, most people will have a hard time making ends meet.

Exactly when is this supposed to happen? All at once or gradually?

oh dearies.......even with 1 $ you live in a "paradise"

1 gallon(US) = 3.78 liter

1 liter superfuel in germany is now around 1.26 EURO

so:
1 gallon (US) costs in germany

5.83 $

!!!!!!!!!!

well this may be reason why german cars have a great motors, so they don't consume as much fuel...as US cars..
(driving mercedes E 320CDI - consume just only about 6-7 liters for a 100km.
do your own calculations. :D)

the high price of fuel in germany is because of extremly high taxes on it...
(nearly 70 - 80 % I think)

It's what the repubs want. To freeze the american people from converging on DC to tar, feather and dis-embowel the Bush/Cheney war machine.

62883

just P.S. for price of fuel in germany and german cars... :D


if you are too lazy to calculate

here is a data sheet...

lol, we can get some hybrid buses down there.

What's the German income tax like?

Americans pay about 30-=60% income tax. The gas is taxed, but not as high as it is in Europe.

<Max Speed 144 mph (230 km/h)>

No diesel powered auto is going to do 144 mph. Not even with a tailwind and going down hill.

Ok, if it had one really huge turbocharger, maybe it could.

have you ever heard of a transmission?
if so, do you know what it does?

Yes, and yes. So?

Are you saying that gear ratios of <1.00 at 100+ mph are possible?

They're only saving it to fuel the war engine.

I've worked at a gas station...you don't know the changes until you're told to change the sign.


I smell bullshit.

As for the war engine, you're right...the M1-A2 Abrams gets 1 mile to 6 gallons!!

dont_use_thisf lucky you don`t pay the european equivalent prices for fuel...be thankful for what you have,which is,the cheapest fuel in the world!!!

<No diesel powered auto is going to do 144 mph. Not even with a tailwind and going down hill.>

I have driven a big diesel-powered Mercedes delivery van at 120 mph. It has the aero-dynamics of a brick!

Why can't a diesel-powered car do 144?
