217.77 in the flatbed today. the best way is just to boycot one company. and if we could get people to just stay away from the biggest. weather its BP or citgo or exxon. start with them. even when they drop 10 cents stay away for atleast a month. that would destroy them. and would cause them to drop the price. and then everyone else would come down to it. or it could back fire. cause them to fuckin get destroyed. then it leaves one less to compete. who knows. we will never win. thank gawd i drive 2.5 miles to work now. ---

I just put $66 in fuel in my Z and loved every second of it. Gas prices being too expensive is overrated. If it were really that bad every other car wouldn’t be a gigantic SUV. ---

> [@Are the Evolution brakes too good?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/are-the-evolution-brakes-too-good/36243/12): > > It really made sense today. My grandmother is on a fixed income. She couldn’t even fill her tank the other day. She sets her budget on what medications cost and what she buys food with. She does not complain much, That’s bad when an old lady can’t even fill her tank that last a few weeks. I’m sorry to hear your Grandmother can’t buy gas, but at the same time, we’re all on fixed incomes. The only difference is her generation has taken out way more than they paid into Social Security, we’re paying in a higher % than they ever did and we’ll never see a penny of Social Security money because the system is going broke due to mismanagement of funds that happened under their watch. Oh yeah, and our current housing, fuel, food, and living expenses are higher than ever before. So while I don’t like to see anyone suffer, as far as I’m concerned the “Greatest Generation” can enjoy their impoverished old age. They stood by and watched as this country was pillaged and destroyed financially over the past 100 years. We are all reaping the consequences of the inaction and selfish behavior of the “Greatest Generation” throughout the 20th century. /rant ---

I drove almost 1200 miles last week with my Altima for work. I paid about $160 in gas and will get back about $600 in expenses. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fuel-strike/197222.md?page=1)
