[:@] you know this is a bunch of crape,our guys are fighting and dying over there everyday
in the second most oil rich country in the world, we have spent BILLIONS of dollors to rebuild
that place,and we sit here watching gas go up on a daily basis's,i think they owe us a few
thousand barge's of oil.we feed these people while people here go hungry everyday,
we protect them while our border's go unprotected,gas in bagdad is $.81/gal. U.S. and we
will be paying nearly $3.00/gal by the first of may.maybe we should start a boycot of
one certain brand of gas and spread the word not to buy gas from that brand,once the
word gets out across the u.s. and there sales drop to almost nothing they will have
two choice's go out of bussiness or lower price's ,hey maybe it will start a good old
fashion gas war,if not go to the next brand to boycott. sorry guy's for letting this message get
out of control but when i think about all the country's that gain from our aid,while we pay the price in higher gas price's ,loss of jobs,higher tax's it just really get's to me.

Your not alone in your thoughts my friend....


IMHO.....

I think we need to start poking holes in our Alaskan reserves to play our trump card with the middle east.

One of our buddies in San Diego reported gas prices as high as $3.50 a gallon with summer projections reaching the mid $4.00 area.

This has been going on every summer for a while now and IMO it's a money grab for the middle east oil companies.

I think our focus should be directed towards tapping our own resources and secondly to look at alternative fuels.

i am one of those guys that has faught for this country over there not to mention will be going back in julky to fight again and i am with you guys all the way and then the sad thing about it is that they charge 225 for a gallon but if you play close attention sometimes they short you but a couple of milliliters which over gallons add up to money lost.

I have official said the hell with this fuel issue.

I have resorted to using the lowest grade possible as of today. Gas today is $2.20 low $2.35 mid & $2.45 HT.....

I don't know what you guys are talking about premium is cheaper in Ill. I cant figure it out your guys are going to hate me for saying this but gas is 1.93 in LeRoy,IL not to day this was monday. but then I drove down to Ft. Leonardwood Mo and gas was 1.99 it seems like I cant win I fill up from LeRoy or Ft. leonardwood by time I get to the other place gas is 10 cent more expensive there. and it not just a mistake I put 2000 miles on my MC in the last two week and everytime I fill up it premium it cheaper. man I put a lot of miles on my monte [X(]
