Oh I forgot it was 0.55 cents a litel for Premium when I started to drive. Yeah! and even back then we were like “0.55 cents a liter!!! What the @#&% !!! That’s expensive!” Now we are like “1.15 per liter for Premium! Damn that’s cheap I better fill up!” I think this hurricane thing was the perfect excuse to raise prices, personaly I don’t think gas will ever drop below 0.97/liter again. Okay so who wants to start on a SR20DET hybrid project? It would be cool! An SR20DET with 85 horse power!..at the wheels! ---

If prices continue to be so high, it can have some serious consequence. Spending habits, consumer consumptions, real estate can seriously be affected from the high costs of gas, which in turn could really screw up our economy. It isnt just a simple matter of “ok, we are making a killing off gas now with the increase, so we’ll just keep it that way”. The government will put these factors into consideration, because there’s no use in making a killing off gas when everything else is going to go downhill. Just my 2 cents. ---

If gas continues to go up like this you will be watching the crash of the economy in no time. If it continues like this this almost all of the gas related businesses (trucking heating everything like that) will go out of busineess people will loose jobs cutting spending on products with an ever rising price tag, then the people who work in the retail jobs get let go and then its just all down hill from there. ---

It will only add to the cost-of-living index, and you can bet salaries will remain flat… As if car insurance doesn’t suck enough! I’m gonna keep driving however I feel like driving though, and this isn’t going to stop my turbo project either. ---
