I'm driving my other car at the moment (97 Saturn SL1) until my car is back in action. BTW, to anyone thinking about buying a Saturn for a daily driver, think twice! They break alot for a daily driver.

It went up slightly where I live. Right now Sunoco 94 is about $1.75/gallon. Just be glad we're not paying what they charge in Europe. I don't remember specifics, but it's way more expensive over there.

Right now I try to keep the cost of gas out of my head and just put it in when I need it. Whatever she fills to she fills to. I think right now it is 1.79 or 1.81 for 91 octane.

Default Re: How are you guys dealing with the gas prices? (rjardy)

gas here is 1.60-1.90

here is a copy of one of those spreading emails for ya......
Every little bit helps I guess...


Subject: gas prices

We are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the
summer. Do you want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some
intelligent, united action.
Phillip Hollsworth, offered this good idea:
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas
on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May!
The oil companies just laughed at that because they
knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It !
was more often an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT,
whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.
Please read it and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super
cheap. It is currently $1.97 for regular unleaded.
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations
have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at
$1.50-$1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS
control the marketplace....not the sellers.
With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to
take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is
if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And we can
do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But
we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price
war.
************************************************** ********************
Here's the idea:
For the rest of this year, DON"T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest
companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any
gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their
prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

************************************************** *****************
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally million! s of Exxon
and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now, at this point... keep
reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it
to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least
ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches
the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION
consumers!
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends
each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level
further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!! Again,all you
have to do is send this to 10 people and DON"T purchase ANY gasoline from
EXXON and MOBIL.That's all.
If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to
do is send this to 10 people.... well, let's face it, you just aren't a
mathematician. But I am... so trust me on this one.
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten
more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could
conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you
didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you!?
Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please
pass this message on.
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND
KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
