CHARGER69O1 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 $3.19 for 93Gas Prices suck. but I think it's funny when people who pay $8.00 for a cup of coffee from Star Bucks and then oh yeah! about the gas price :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javadoc Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Now that's just sad... Big Oil has got us thinking that 2.59 is cheap. In Columbia - a self-sustaining oil country - they pay $0.16 per gallon. Venezuela? $0.70 Of course the average income is rediculously low... IIRC Columbia was ~5k a year.This is a great illustration of supply and demand. They can afford to sell their fuel cheaply in-country, because they make so much for it by exporting their surplus. It's a double-edged sword for domestic oil producers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azinwa Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 True HoweverStarbucks NEVER lowers thier prices, then raises thier prices, then lowers thier prices. AndThe price is always the same from store to store ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 So Starbucks doesn't jack the prices in 'high-rent' areas like McDonalds does?I know the airport locations of most chains are usually higher - but I've never been in a Starbucks...

Chris_R Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 your 745 looks really coool! grrrr!Thanks! I'm a big fan of the Olive Green T5R wagons too... The rarest of the rare in the US, no? My wife gave me a gift last night... No you dirty boys, not THAT kind of gift...She's been driving the 745 and we met for dinner - I got there first. My 'gift' was seeing my car drive up. Great stance, the wheels tuck in nicely, and it sounded good. Not bragging, I didn't build it - just rescued it, fixed it, and cleaned it up. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 20 mile commute to school and 20 miles back EVERY WEEKDAY! not to mention any other driving I do during the weekSince you are turbo'ed...all I can say is keep a very close eye on the motor and listen to it. It only takes that one time that you decided to do that one quick spirited run to make a piston look like hiroshima. I hate to say this in midst of how gas prices are...but regardless, you got to pay to play. S Edited May 15, 2006 by maximase86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
