$105 oil - Page 13 - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum

What I dont understand is if the cost of oil was dropping,
why did gas prices continue to climb..

I just figured the continued gas price increase was delayed reaction to the previous $135 runup of oil. Gas prices are quick to increase, but slow to drop.

I know california is seeing some crazy prices now. $4.30-$.4.60

last tank was 4.29/per

I've been adding the price paid for fuel
for the last couple of fills on my fuel log..

Anybody remember the LAST time prices were going to keep going up forever?

I will be laughing my ass off when the speculators behind the price run up get their tit caught in the mangle.

I'm waiting for it to pull back so I can buy.

My dad said the worst part is filling the 5 gallon jerry-cans for the lawnmowers. That's because you can actually SEE how little gas goes into the container compared to the $25+ spent in order to fill it

. Crazy ridiculously expensive.

Yeah, spending to cut the grass kills me. That's why I'm considering robot mowers.

Chris D. · 06-07-2008, 03:13 AM

Just get some of that Emo Rocker grass, it cuts itself

I've been thinking that probably the best low-maintenance ground cover that doesn't need mowing would be strawberry plants since they reproduce asexually. Just make add some stepping stones to get around the yard.

Plus strawberries taste good

What about rocks?

Remember back when gas hit $2 a gallon and it seemed outrageously expensive? Those were the good days, right? I'd look at today as $2 gas...It's only going to get worse. Like Matt Simmons says, "Gas is cheap, it's only __ cents a cup!"

What do you guys think? Anyone predict gas is going to get cheaper within the year? It's kind of an eerie thought thinking about tomorrow considering the economic downturn today...
