Yeah even with the gas prices going up I can take the money I save and mod my…well… house most likely. Maybe I’ll turbo my furnas! I hope my house doesn’t need much for a couple years. I’d rather spend my money elsewhere. Every time I hammer my throttle I hear my car scream!.. For a cat-back. Ugh, and to think I just had to spend 100 bucks on my computer because my PS started popping caps on my mobo. That could have had me halfway to a home-rolled catback… [/rant] Anyways, back to being on topic on off topic. So yeah, gas prices suck. ---

it’s all about supply and demand rising demand + limited supply of oil = bad news for consumers it doesnt help when we had to shut down a major oil importing port facility (new orleans) and all of our oil rigs in the gulf of mexico were also shut down, and those may be damaged or destroyed right now so unfortunatly it might only get worse and worse for us ---

> [@BikerFry](#): > > I’m so glad I’m moving to Tonawanda. My commute’s gonna go from 18 miles one way to 13 miles round trip in a month! well I didn’t think about work either, my job is 2 and half minutes from my house. I’m not going to school anymore so that saves me about 25miles a day. So lets say there is really only about 10miles a week that I really have to travel :lol: Wow I waste alot of gas doing other shit ---

Also living closer to work will save you money on your car insurance. I have an 11-12 mi 1 way to work… thats ~24 a day, 5 times a week… 125 miles. Plus all the BS driving I do… which is usually 30 a day… 7 days a week 270 thats 395 a week. Which is still less than I do, so I must do more BS driving than I thought. I’m buying a moped. ---

I didnt mind raising gas prices when it was a few cents here every couple of months. But its realy getting out of hand. I have to fill may tank roughly every 4 days (I can make it 5 days if I stay out of boost), it cost me little over $40 every time with the prices now. So say I stay with 4 days a tank, thats 7.5 tanks in 30 days (average month) thats $300 a month just in gas. So with gas, car payment, and insurance it cost me $821 a month to drive my car to and from work with a trip to the store here and there. Crazy. ---
