Yeah, but gasoline prices and natural gas prices are not being influenced by the same factors. Gas prices are high because oil prices high. Oil prices are high because of terrorists attacks in Venezuela (#8 oil producer, #1 for oil that is turned into gasoline) and the crazy bastard in Iran. Additionally the greenies that forced the ban on MTBE through with no grace period fucked us. Something like 75% or more of our natural gas needs come from domestic sources. Unfortunately those domestic sources are vulnerable to hurricanes and they’re predicting another busy hurricane season for the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Then dumbasses push for the CNG powered Civic (which we’re getting in NYS) which only adds more to the demand for natural gas. ---

So what, even at another $1/g, for most of you, that’s only another few hundred bucks, maybe you shouldn’t spend $9,000 on aftermarket parts to get worse gas mileage if you are so worried about it. There isn’t much you can do about it. Where you live is a decision, and so is what ytou drive. Being able to pay for a car has very little to do with being able to afford to drive it. Gas prices will never go down. Most people won’t even get that grumpy about it until it gets closer to $5. Even then, will they drive the speed limit instead of 77? No. Will they trade in their truck that they haul stuff with once a year for a civic? No. Will they make an efford to reduce commute, take fewer trips, and use public transportation? No. But you can sure as shit be positive that they’ll fucking whine like crazy about it. :jerking: ---

That’s a big if. lol If im being nice i can still get over 20mpg out of my car. But aprox 20mpg + 93oct. sucks. Last year when prices got really high and i paid around $60 at $3.99/gal its a bit of a reality check when you are still in school with only a part time job. ---

I’m not sure where most our our fuel oil comes from, but since it has the word “oil” in it got to be some form of refined crude, which means the same place as gasoline.
