Re: Oil prices got you down?
The ANWR will slake our -----like lust for oil-for about five years.
At the cost of turning the whole area into a massive pile of wreckage
not worth backhauling out.
If I could buy Jet A for what the airlines get it for-it is still
subsidized-I sure as hell would run a car or truck on it. Any diesel
engine will burn Jet A, all the ramp equipment is and does. Last price
I heard air carriers pay was around $2.10/gal. Civilian FBOs will
charge up to $3 a gallon but some sell it for only a few cents over
cost-look at ads in Trade-A-Plane.Jet and diesel fuel are about the
same price, wholesale, before road or air taxes are added. If we get
Euro II diesel regs-and we are stupid not to, trucks and buses will run
a lot cleaner-they WILL be the same-it'll be cheaper just to make JP-8,
which is what all military diesel and turbine engines burn.
"George W. Bush is a traitor, an idiot, and a moron and I think the
Arabs should punish us for electing the silly son of a bitch by driving
Saudi oil high enough to crash the stock market."-A sign I saw on a
farmer's barn off I-80 out West. Don't remember the mile marker, but I
wish I had a picture.

Re: Oil prices got you down?
did you know driving at 55 verses going the same place driving 70 only results in about a 10
minute difference in a 200 mile trip there is a formula for this thats given to each new
driver going thru training in my area
and i drive a 383 bigblock newport to work
talk to people u know and you will find that people fill the tanks on monday and use up 1/4
tank then drive right bac in and top off the tank thinking they are going to save a few
pennies. because gas goes up everyday, so demand goes up i see it everyday and hear about it
everyday

Re: Oil prices got you down?
did you know driving at 55 verses going the same place driving 70 only results in about a 10
minute difference in a 200 mile trip there is a formula for this thats given to each new
driver going thru training in my area
and i drive a 383 bigblock newport to work
talk to people u know and you will find that people fill the tanks on monday and use up 1/4
tank then drive right bac in and top off the tank thinking they are going to save a few
pennies. because gas goes up everyday, so demand goes up i see it everyday and hear about it
everyday

Re: Oil prices got you down?
yes u are burning the same 20 gallons a week but if gas was say a buc a gallon it would be
no big deal to wait till the end of the week to get gas, think bac to when it was. but people
now have a mind set they will save cash by topping off their tanks knowing that prices are
going to rise, and because of this mindset, they are now buying 5 gallons more a week topping
off the tank instead of waiting to get fuel when the tank gets low so damand goes up big time
it's a simple case of supply and demand. think this is bull ---- remember princess di's
beenie babies when she died they were upwards of 500 buc's if you could find them now they are
a dime a dozen
a friend of mind who works for a oil company tell me that sweet crude is no lomger used to
make gas and the refiners now use sour crude and it's the price of that oil per barrel thats
even higher something like 75.00 bucs a barrel he's say it will hit 100.00 by the end of summer
then it's going to drop big time. i hope hes right
