Yes `Randy, you are lucky to have a `bike 4-Sure...I am sure that bike sales are also going 2 increase `if the price of fuel continues on the upward motions

I really feel for those on fixed income (my senior friends) & those with low pay, or no pay : (

I hope our leaders can find a solution to resolve this hike...
Check you politicans in your area & see `if they own stock in the gas companies...Or, how much the gas companies gave them to be elected....

Premium has just shot up to about $3.75 per gallon here but I get decent gas mileage in my 05 - about 20 mpg.

I miss my '03 LS Sport Cavalier. I could use the 30+ mpg right now.

I like the idea of getting a Camaro SS for cheap. Not with you on being okay with gas prices going up though Mike. Sorry.

Same here with my Monte.

The price of regular here in Windsor is $1.14_9 which works out to $4.35 per gallon. Premium is about $1.27 which is about $4.80 per gallon.


The excuse about Libya and Egypt is just that. An excuse OPEC and everyone else in the oil industry is using to screw us at the gas pump. We have to pay outrageous prices to fill our fuel efficient cars so we can drive to and from our low paying jobs; barely making ends meet. Meanwhile they're living in huge mansions and palaces with every luxury known to mankind. That's bullsh*t!!! I'm tired of us being screwed over at the pump.

I just may have to sell my car for a bicycle.
