Its times like this im glad I have a Tracker
« on: May 02, 2007, 08:08:02 PM »
The way gas prices are right now and how they are going up im glad I have a little 1.6L Tracker. In my area of this wonderful country of the US we are sittin pretty at 3 bucks a gallon. Now this is Indiana I cant imagine what places like California or Florida may be. I guess this is where Jeep loses because now dont quote me on this but arent there motors mostly V-6 or somethin like that i know for sure they arent 1.6 or 1.3 lol.

and just think, on a global scale the US still has some of the lowest gas prices. Where I am in Canada right now we are at the equivalent of $3.80 US a gallon and even still I believe we are at half of what gas costs in most parts of Europe.

I am stationed in Okinawa Japan and I pay $2.80 a gallon for 93 octane, but all they sell is 93 octane and diesel on base.  I don't know how my mileage because I always have my foot in it.   >:D

I Just got an e-mail the other day and on May 15 Nobody should buy gas. They said that last time that they done a movment like this price of gas droped $0.30 overnight. If everyone just on the internet would not buy gas for one day it would cost the companies 1.3Billion dollars.

Kind of a broken system though, as we all would just buy gas on the 14th or the 16th.  The only way to really make a dent is to have everyone stop buying gas from a specific company for a month.  Like Exxon or something in protest.  They take a profit hit, then drop the price, then you switch to the next company.  :P

Gas at home went from 2.80 when I left on a couple weeks worth of work trips to 3.40 when I got back.  That was a bit of a surprise when I filled up the tank.  :P

Here in Colorado, gas dropped down to $1.99 in Januraury(for one day), and has since risen almost every day to $3.05 where it is now. It's enough to make me think of converting to use and alcohol blend fuel. There are agricultural fuel stations around here that sell E-85 and even straight alcohol fuel much cheaper than regular. Or I could just start going through the Walmart parking lot with a sihpon tube and 5-gallon gas can every time I'm low... ;D

Thats kindof what i was thinking but everyone stop buying gas for a week not just a day i dont think it would create much of an impact becasue like you said sales would spike the days leading up to and the days after so it wouldnt matter.
