Wow, man, calm down....

I'm sorry if I misread/interpereted your post- I guess I missed some earlier stuff. However, that's why I said "I hope you're joking"

It looks like we're in agreeance with everything here afterall. Anyway, it's all cool - no hard feelings.

BTW, I'm not from OK and I'm leaving here in a month so I don't really care about the state's oil/financial problems. (Associating me with this state is a touchy thing )

What? You're not really from Oklahoma???

Yea, I know, you're from OK the same way I'm from Texas!
When are you heading out west, anyway??
BTW, I think gas out there will be more expensive than here, and I don't think the taxes will be any better either. I guess it's a trade off for more sunshine and less trailer parks and tornado warnings.

 

Im a Texas red-neck, & proud of it.

 

I don't think we're ever going to see stable fuel prices in this country until we do one of two things (or both):

1. Start producing more oil and gas here at home so we are not as dependent on OPEC and the Middle East. If producing more here at home means more drilling, so be it. We have allowed anti-car and environmental groups to hold up new drilling too long. And I'm not a hypocrite either on this issue...if it means drilling in MY back yard, go to it, guys....I say drill wherever you can find it.

2. Start using alcohol as an alternative, like they do in Brazil. Alcohol is clean, will not foul engines and spark plugs with carbon, is less toxic than gas, less volatile, less of a has an very high octane to prevent pinging, has extremely low emissions, and can be made from Midwestern corn....and even recycled garbage in some cases. Alcohol's only problems are the need for larger fuel tanks due to its lower energy content than gasoline and the re-engineering of fuel lines designed for gas....alcohol will deteriorate them.

But until we do something to change the status-quo.....buying half our crude oil from abroad....we're going to have to put up with this up-and-down yo-yo pricing and availability.

 

Sorry...made a typo on the last post.....I meant alcohol has very high octane, not less.

 

isn't the process of making alcohol bad for the enviroment?

 

Been sniffing the oven cleaner again, BAZ??

Your not a redneck until you put mud tires on your Soarer.

 

If I could find 91 octane here in Los Angeles for $1.89 a gallon I'd drop down to my knees and thank the heavens for small miracles. I normally pay $2.45 per gallon for 91. Damn near $50 every fill-up. *&^%$#@*&^$#*#@!!!! to these damn gasoline companies and OPEC.

 

WHOA!!!! That's a pair of classic sneakers every fill up......

 

How much beer do you all drink?

 

Baz it ain't possible, you own an SC

 

Funny you mentioned that, listen to this. I get gas yesterday right, comes out to be like $42 for a fill up (I still had a little left in the tank). I pick my cousin up from work near LAX and we hit the mall to do some shopping, and see some chicks of course (I'm still in my 20's so yes, I have no shame in macking a chick at the mall). We go to this shoe store and they're having a blowout sale. I see 2 pairs that I like, normally $65 each on sale for $20 each. I don't need them both but my cousin says "what the hell, get them both" I think it over and finally cave in because the sales girl was flirting with me (a ploy to get the sale I'm sure). So finally my cousin says, "funny, you paid more for your gas than these 2 pairs of shoes! ha ha ha, guess which purchase will last longer!"...and with that last comment I said "gimme the shoes, both of 'em"...when I move into the city I won't have any gas issues, no more 60 mile commute

 

How much you got?

 

Lol.....EM...tee total myself! .yourself?
