    I like your attitude. Maybe I should put little stickers on my door, for how many black-smoke-belching pickup drivers I beat the living s*** out of.

    I'd only have one sticker to date

    My training was too good. The bullet wouldn't go through their knee. If you know what I mean

    Gas prices, over most of winter they hovered 79-84 cents per litre. Couple of months ago up to 89 cents a litre. Couple of days before the start of Victoria Day, 94 cents a litre. This week, $1.04 a litre

    If you could ever catch him park where he has a blind side, you could attach some plastic tubes from his exhaust and run it into his cab.. maybe that would help :p

    I paid $3.20/gal two days ago, but that was at our local gas station, which charges tourist prices.

    They always claim those huge clouds of black diesel exhaust are harmless. So, let's prove it. While they're sleeping at night, in their trailer, run the hose from the exhaust into the bedroom and fire that motor up

    What's odd, is that now diesel is much cheaper again. Must be the ULSD upgrades are being paid off. Regular unleaded is now $1.049 a litre, ULSD is $0.89 a litre

    Yep, I just noticed that deisel, oops I mean diesel is less expensive than unleaded 87. Last year it was the other way around. Those diesel pickups are not using enough these days.

    Unleaded 87 is about $2.90 to $3 in the Sac area this week.

    It was $2.64 here in town today. As a side question how much of a hit will my new Prius take on the 10% blend ethanol/gas? That's all we can get here.

    Gas is up to 2.69 here, and with that being said my current tank is 73.1 and is right at the 600 mile mark with 3 pips left on the fuel gauge. :D

    IT'S 3 BUCKS in the SoCal area.

    been reading about some complaints about the SUV/diesel/idiots and i've met my fair share of them. In a morbid sense, i wish the prices were of those a year ago..........i never saw many suv's out there and if i did, they certainly werent driving like they are now.

    sure it took almost 30 dollars to fill up, but the roads were MUCH safer than now. just my two cents.

    Yeah, last summer a lot of the more obnoxious pick-em-up trucks disappeared with the high fuel prices.
