C-bus Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 You're trying too hard, and it's not a requirement here on Ohio RIDERS. Look at Kawi Kid, he doesn't even HAVE a motorcycle! Sadly, I have no Rep to give.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrant Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Interesting just in time for an upcoming election year. Then once he gets back in office (I hope not), the gates will close. Nothing like trying to please the sheeple where it hits them most.yah i mean what the fuck did he do anyway?http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/15/us/politics/15address.html?_r=3&hphttp://articles.latimes.com/2011/may/14/nation/la-na-obama-alaska-20110514http://www.rigzone.com/news/article.asp?a_id=111458and also...http://www.nytimes.com/gwire/2011/01/13/13greenwire-two-thirds-of-federal-oil-and-gas-drilling-per-13123.htmllook. just to be clear. im not saying that obama did it ALL and the increase in production is 100% due to him. obviously thats not true. of course there has been increased production in north dakota which has helped out. but to say that he hasnt done anything, wouldnt be true either.gas prices and oil production are complex issues, and no one party is 100% responsible for either of those. its not like obama sets the price of gas for the country when he wakes up each morning. changes in our oil production do not happen overnight either.i feel that while domestic oil production has a large role in our energy security and our economy, its maybe not enough to change oil prices globally long term.

Gump Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I don't really know but if you ask me, the more we produce more efficient cars the higher the price will go. Greedy bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Ive seen some of you people on here, im sure some of you remember cars not capable of 55mph. Ahh the "when i was ur age stories", gotta lovem. My mom has a picture of my dad posting a gas price of 1.15/gallon with a line of cars, think that was like 20-30years agoIt was about $1.30 in the mid 90'sWhen I had my moped ('86), I was 14 and paying $.75/gal. I couldn't believe gas went up to $1.00/gal soon after that.I started driving in 86. I would drive 10 miles to fill up on $.99 gas. I refused to pay $1/gal. It was the principle, man!

motozachl Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 this is why I got a job 9 miles from my house. I can go to work for almost 4 weeks on a tank of gas.+1 million for this i love it. When I had my moped ('86), I was 14 and paying $.75/gal. I couldn't believe gas went up to $1.00/gal soon after that.Gas was under a buck in the 90's. I was always have to walk to the station with a gas can for mowin lawns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuelit Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I predict 3.89. the 4.00 mark will realy slow sales in the c-store where they make their money! Stations dont like to hit that psychological price point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) OMGZ!?!?! The WORLD IS ENDING and god damnit when are people going to realize the President has ZERO to do with the price of crude oil. Yes he can push an agenda but he can't just say "fuck these people raise the gas prices" and boom its done. And for the most part I super dislike Obama but its ludicrous to put total blame on him Edited March 9, 2012 by Bad324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Just saw this at my local Speedway. I assume by market conditions they are worried about people not paying and driving away. I always pay at the pump so no worries. In fact I know of no other station in Cbus that isn't prepay. Edited March 9, 2012 by jagr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 speedway in vernon does this now...id rather pay a few extra cents up the road at sunoco even if i am going to use my card...guess im just old fashioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) That was the last I believe. Actually in my travels to Wisconsin and Minnesota there are many. Most don't have Credit swipers on the pump and were rolling numbers, not digital. Hell I couldn't even find 92 octane in South Dakota. My baby had to run off 88. Not 89. Pumps were marked 88.

JStump Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 ^^^hell I didn't know there were any gas stations left where you didnt have to pre pay alreadyI haven't seen a non pre pay pump since I first started driving 7 years ago. Just always pay with my credit card because it's easier and gets me money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Haha, you all do realize that in Europe its been over 8.00 a gallon since the late 90's right? I got my license in 1999 and it was over $3.00US a litre. Think about what it is over there now?We've been looking at our plans for Switzerland for our honeymoon and basically will be using rail as our main means of transit. 2.00 mile drive to our hotel, and free parking so we we will still rent a car, but I'd guess gas is about $15.00US a gallon by now.Either way, it is what it is, you either pay the price or you don't. Not too many options out there right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleaveTheGreat Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 When I was in Europe last spring it was still around $3-$3.50 US per liter. Which is roughly $11-$12 per gallon. Unreal. But that still doesn't change the fact that within a few years gas has nearly doubled in price in the U.S. which sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 So, anyone find gas to have risen up? Our local gas stations are typically higher than out by the interstate. They have been @ $.08/gal for the last two weeks. I paid $3.58 last night and need fuel for the dirty bikes today... Was afraid to even trek into town...

r1crusher Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I just got into Chicago and the gas over here is $4.29/gal. Glad I have enough to get in and out of the city. Outside the city it's only $3.86/gal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
