I just told my dad that you were complaining about gas prices... He said you need to spend less time bitching on the internet and more time at work making $$$$.

You will be waiting for some time... I don't ever see the gas prices going below $3 ever again. Saw the same thing when prices rose above $2, $4 will be here within months, and probably stay for some time...

One reason I took the new job, is because it's 7 miles from my house. The pay/hr was the same, but when considering that the old job was 22 miles one way, and the truck gets about 14 mpg on a good day, now with the prices at 4 bucks a gallon I'm saving over 40 bucks a week, it's like making another 1.50 an hour because that 40 bucks a week is after taxes.

Nevermind the other place was a 40 hour week and that was it, I'm already looking at 50 a week min here not including saturdays when I work them.


This is what happens when you elect an oil man for president.

How many mpg do you get with that 2.8?

Gas/Fuel prices are insane. The only way to save is to drive less or drive smaller vehicles and those two things do not want to be given up by us Americans. But when prices are $4+/gal it makes you think about it.

Ya Its a Gran Sport. Just like a St Tropez just a couple feet bigger.

Gotta get used to gas going up and up. Until the american people smarten up and throw out the democrats who keep 85% of the US off limits to oil drilling and have not let us build a refinery in the last 35 years yet call for OPEC to increase production when they wont let us do it domestically. Every year since he was in office Bush has put forth an energy bill that increases domestic production and every year the dems shoot it down and then have the ***** to say he has no energy plan.
Eventuall the greenies will wake up and see that the only long term answer is nuclear power. Renewable is great but will never provide greater than 20% of total. Electric cars powered by nuclear energy cause 0 carbon emissions and make America completely energy independent. Fck the damn french are smart enough to get 80% of their energy from nukes and the japnese 85. why are we stuck at 12.

Not sure the speedo has never worked. So I have never been able to see. All I know is that it isn't as bad as the camaro and I can't brake it and I never have to work on it. I've only ever put one clutch in it and that's pretty much it and a couple of ball joints. I have had this thing since I was 16 and I'm 22 now and she still runs like a champ slow and steady lol
