Good! Now maybe more people will use mass transit, or at least buy smaller cars - then we can get those stupid SUV's off the road and convert them into housing for the poor! They're certainly big enough!

Unforunately that is not going to happen here in California; where I live, I am paying 2.20 for a gallon of unleaded gas, and still people are running out to buy SUVs

I'm getting a little tired of this crap.

I'm pretty comfotable tanking at $1.94. It's not great, but hey, It was $2.25 in August and this is the cheapest in town. Go out to the other tiny mountain towns and you can't find anything cheaper than $2.30. Gotta love touristy states.

I hear it's supposed to raise as high as ~$3 a gallon in some states. My guess would be in states with higher cost of living - i.e. California, etc.

It's already nearing $2/gallon in Albuquerque.

Since I live in the glorious state of California; already in some areas the gas prices are as high as $2.75 a pop..The average price of a house is over 500,000 bucks and soon the gas prices are going to be 3 bucks...this state SUCKS

Sterling Holobyte · 03-09-2005, 03:16 PM

It's already at $2.01 here. And that's the cheap stuff.

Looks like it's time to buy one of these little puppies...

It's about $2.25 for regular out here in the Los Angeles area. I'm glad I don't have to drive far because I'm keeping my Cadillacs no matter what!

You are lucky, since I do a lot of driving between San Diego and LA...

Yeah, I haven't even driven any of my cars that far. The farthest would be from the San Fernando Valley to Palmdale (about 45 miles). And that's been only a few times.

I've always had a back-up plan. If I had to drive many miles each day, I would buy (for that purpose only) a 1985-'87 front wheel drive Cadillac limousine (yes, they made those).

They would get at least 22 mpg on the highway and could seat 7-8 people.
I'm not fond of FWD cars with little engines so hopefully it won't ever come to that!

This a 1985 model...

A Cadillac limousine 22 mpg on the Highway!!! WOW...
As it is now, I am paying over 25 bucks for a full tank of gas and I drive a small car, but since I commute once a week from where I live to Los Angeles, which is exactly a hundred miles..that full gallon of gas does not last very long...
