gas prices ...

lurch70 · August 8th, 2005, 05:27 PM

I don't know how it is in your neck of the woods in the US, but gas is topping $3 a gallon here in NYC. Now, I drive a MINI and it's almost $38 to fill it up. I have seen SUV drivers pay as much as $80 at the pump (fuck'em anyway) ... and they are saying that prices are going even higher.

Just from todays CNN .. http://money.cnn.com/2005/08/08/mark...ex.htm?cnn=yes

I know our European brothers are laughing, as they always had to deal with this, but they also do not rely on cars as much as Americans and distances are not as big in Europe, etc, etc.

So I am imagining a huge SUV selloff in a few months if this keeps up ... being able to pick up trucks for ridiculous prices.
Already people are alwaus asking me at lights how many mpg's my MINI gets

gas prices (once you convert litres to gallons and canadian to US) are still more expensive here in canadar than they are in the states.... at least in vancouver.

yea, same. a buddy of mine who lives near the border does, it adds 20 mins to his commute to gas up in the states, but saves him like 15 bucks.
