$2.29/Gal. for 87 Oct. today!

Qetesh 09-20-2006 10:30 PM

That's great...too bad I drive less in the winter :banghead:

oskarjr 09-20-2006 10:36 PM

thats good cause I ride in the winter..

HondaKidF1 09-21-2006 12:54 AM

We had $2.14 here. i drove by it tonight and a smile formed.

John712 09-21-2006 07:11 AM

cheap here to in Union County. we seen Shell at $2.19 and just in case we took all the cars there and filled them up. even took the bikes back there to

sonny 09-21-2006 09:42 AM

this is cheap?

I dont know what is warranting all of these "low gas prices". Oil has only dropped $15/per barrell. 5 years ago when gas was around a buck oil was $20/barrell.

this is BULLSHIT thats what it is. Production has not slowed down, we're not running out. The only thing we're running out of is PLACES TO STORE IT.

shadoxkila 09-21-2006 11:53 AM

oil companies suck.... they just want to keep there profits higher, thats why oil is so fuckin high!! The government needs to step in and start to regulate that shit, but that will never happen cause george bush sucks oil companies dicks!

Smokes35 09-21-2006 12:12 PM

well, shadoxkila and sonny have provided us with 2 of the most uninformed opinions i've ever heard...

Go do a little research and see who really makes the money when exxon and friends does well... Chances are you'll find out that is Union pension plans, private investors, and company personel paid in stock options... Not the president...

Try again, kids.

Gas is down in some spots around here below $2.00. I seen at most locations the average of $2.07-2.30 for 87. Prices are always cheaper down here because we have a bunch of refineries located in Philly-Delaware-SJ area. One of the main ones is Sunoco located in Philly.

If you take a look at newjerseygasprices.com you will notice the cheapest gas is down near Vineland area which is closer to Delaware.

Wow you fail.

You need to do your research first.

tommymac 09-21-2006 02:18 PM

With the prices dropping like this I may be able to swing another track day down to summit since I will my gas costs will be 20 to 30 dollars less now.

As for whos informed and whos not ( I know I am not LOL) I thnke you should be posting sources of some of this to prove or disprove a point.

I was kinda bummed to see that exxon guy get a pension of more money than what all of us will earn in a lifetime, then again he looks like hes been dead for a while but no one had the heart to tell him LOL

You're right.

Except the CEO gets bonuses that, until recently, weren't recorded in a visible way. They receive stocks at their optioned value, and their bonuses given in cash are typically significantly higher than their annual salary.

Ahh, you're one of those, Da'Nile ain't just a river in Egypt, I used to swear by Sunoco Ultra 94 in my 01 gix6, got some friendly advice and switched to 87, bike was much more responsive, yes it was very noticable.

Mike295 03-10-2008 07:39 PM

exxon makes 10 million dollars a minute

gsxryager024 03-10-2008 07:45 PM

did you know Mark up on gas is about 100%. If we marked up a car that much a Accord would be worth 45k. That means in order for the oil company's to break even they could charge $1.50 a gallon!

FDNYDANO18 03-11-2008 10:39 PM

actually... oil companies make 8 to 15 cents per gallon at the pump.

the government collects about $1.50 per gallon in taxes for providing no service in getting the gas to you.... so who is actually :take_it: you?

the simple answer..... EVERYONE involved including commodities traders

Mike295 03-12-2008 08:30 AM

its about speculatin its all being traded on speculation and it is not regulated at all. they are actually trading on a 5% margin and they never take delivery.. put a rule in that if you trade X amount of barrales per month you must take physical delivery of x ammount of barrals.. watch and see how oil prices plumet.

my old neighbor used to trade oil (way back in the day) but basicly said that ships are filled with oil they go out to sea and change ports of delivery 5 -10 times before they offload. I can only imagine how it is now adays...

+1 They were talking about this on NPR on Friday I believe. What sucks is OPEC can't do anything to help either, it's not about oil supply.
