wouldn't know, I hardly ever go to bars (mostly b/c they are more expensive tongue.gif) Plus, you have more of a choice w/ the bar instance. Gotta love the liquer store.

I drink WAY less beer than my car does gas! Plus, who's paying that much for a beer at a bar? A cocktail is five-ish...

Anyway, 4.19 today for 87. Blah. One of my coworkers (he's from Libya) was telling me that in Libya last summer, he payed TWELVE CENTS A LITER for gas. And that the gas there is so pure that it lasts longer and you get better mileage. When he went, he bought a Ford Windstar off eBay and had it shipped to Libya so he could drive it while he was there for 2 months, and then sell it when it was time to come home.

TWELVE CENTS A LITER!!! That amounts to a little less than a dollar a gallon. And it's NOT because of the exchange rate or the dollar being weak. It's because they have SO much oil there that it's cheap as hell!
$5.50 for a beer over at buffalo wild wings, $5.00 at the applebees, $5.00+ everywhere around here..

i just drink some beers at my friends n walk to wild wings..nice atmosphere as well as the ladies wink.gif

yea..the gas station by my place is up from 4.75 to 4.79

hmm..maybe Libya is the place to be? lol

Man! Why does Cali get so screwed on gas prices? that's a full dollar more than what we're paying here in Houston and I'm talking premium for me - low grade is still under $4 at good stations.

I am going to take a wild guess and say because...

1) higher Taxes on gas in Cali?!?!
and/or
2) some of it has to travel from the Atlantic through Panama and they increase the cost to cover transportation?!?

3 post spoiler for sale:Click here
Shell V-Power (95 octane) NZD$2.15/Litre (NZD$8.13/US Gallon) works out to about USD$6.12/Gallon


If it's up to 5 bucks in America at the moment, that equates to NZD$1.75/Litre which I haven't seen since late Feb - early March

It's just us lower states. Because folks like us, and florida, have a little thing called "The Gulf of Mexico" & in Texas, we have "Texas Tea" wink.gif

We have oil, and Fcuking Obama dont wanna go mine the oil right off of florida mad.gif Says' it'll take up to 5 years for it to effect gas prices.

THEN WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?!?! In 5 Years gas will be like $20/gal mad.gif mad.gif mad.gif We need to start planning for the future.

Atleast then when i'm old i can afford to drive my car to the store and buy something too. And how am i gunna teach my Daughter to drive if i cant afford to drive myself?

This is getting outta control...

[/bitching & ranting]

EDIT: on a positive note, especially for Texans: We are mining our oil. I say we exercise our right and succeed from the us, drop our gas prices back down to $1.00/gal and sell the rest for $20/barrel cheaper than the middle east. wink.gif We'll be rich!! laugh.gif

On Topic now - $4.23 this morning to the tune of a $65 fill-up (runnin' on fumes, mind you). I'm ready to go against the grain of my stereotypical and relatively leftist ideaology and contact my local Representative in support of off-shore drilling. FCUK OPEC COUNTRIES! Mark it on your calendars, I think this might just be the third time in 8 years I've agreed with Dubya. Too bad Pelosi is just as much of a dictator and it'll never pass.
