GAS PRICES

[jerry hoxsey]

Well I guess the word is out there is a motorhome convention in the near
future. Gas jumped 10 cents today. That puts us at $1.39 for the (CHEAP)
stuff. Hi test is $1.59. And we make the darn stuff right here (NEW
MEXICO).

Anyone looking for an excuse to have a dish that
allows internet browsing while driving?

See:

www.gastips.com

Since people "E" mail in the results of their visits
to the gas stations there is some risk that the
prices may not be as noted, however this aid will
certainly help to plan the gas stops!

Has anyone found other sites like this covering
other areas?

GEEZ! $1.59.9 here in the Big "O". Is it me or is there something wrong with
this picture? How could it go up 60% in 6 months? Man, filling "The Sweat
Lodge" will require a loan by summertime at this rate!

I paid $1.70 for Hi Test this week and I am still in shock!

Last year about this time I bought a gallon of regular in Perry, GA for
less than half that price.

Be glad our GMC's aren't diesel powered. Diesel on my corner is $2.51 per
gallon. I'm glad my VW gets 45MPG! The bad news is that I hear gas prices
will be going the way of diesel in the near future. UGHHH!

The answer is to stop working and save your gas for Play.

Troops....I ran across an old photo taken after the 1933 earthquake in Long
Beach California. It showed a gas station that had been crushed by a falling
wall. All that was left was the gas price sign near the curb that showed the
price at 10.9 cents per gallon. Sob, sob, sniffle!.....Jim Davis On The
Oregon Coast Where It's Still Raining

I'm not even 40 yet, so I don't know about 1933, but I remember when there
were 2 stations in my neighborhood that used to have "price wars", and they
would get down to 22 cents!. It doesn't seem all that long ago. I have a
diesel VW, and the other day I put in $5 worth and got less than 2 and 1/2
gallons! That isn't good, but at least that will take me over 100miles.
Filling up the GMC is going to require a second job soon.

Rick,
Good Post. If our current 40 cents or so a gallon tax weren't there it
would really be cheap.

Jim,
I sympathize. OTOH, my old Automotive Encyclopedia lists a 1933 Ford V8
as selling for $560 US. I think that works out to about 2500 - 3000%
inflation since those depression days, which would make your 10.9 cent gas
sell for (approximately) $2.70 - $3.25 / gallon!

BTW, that's one of the insidious things about inflation: It makes it
difficult to determine who's giving you a good deal, and who's ripping you
off. The gu'ment compounds this by resetting the base year for their
inflation reports, so we never see just how bad it is. For example, I
automatically use a factor of 500% to readjust prices to the days of my
youth
(I got my license in 1963), when gas was ~30 cents, a new Ford was ~ $3000,
and the average house was $15000 - $20000. But I never consider the
inflation experienced by the generation before me. How much is a $1 gold
coin worth today?

Since the Feds get the inflated money first (they, after all, do the
inflating by printing it faster), they get more for their (our?) dollars
before the inflation works through the economy. Maybe that's why I like
Alan
Greenspan!

OK, I'll shut up now...... This stuff gets me going. ;-)
