Gas prices

[Mark Antony]

Bush years were brutal, gas was easily close to a dollar for the longest before that. Set a new baseline during those years and never really went back down. Def need some price regulation.

 

[mplsdunk]

Who buys 89 though?

 

[whitemamba27]

it's like 56 cents a gallon tax in ohio. this needs to be cut in half asap

 

[jaymosenvied]

Ooooooh LORD JESUS!

Is this bad? I wish I can pay this

 

[Mark Antony]

Wait yeah why are you buying 89?

Word. He ruined things and the oil companies figured they didn’t need to go back down. My time in OKC showed me how ****ty with budget these companies are. They ball out, fire people when things are lower, hire college kids to drill for them with brutal hours, etc.

I'm pretty sure it's in my manual.

Saved a pic I took last year at the height of COVID when gas was $1.50. I got a 4 cylinder just in case because I knew gas prices fluctuate

Used to mess with this girl back in 2018. When she was buying a car, she asked me for advise on what car to get. In typical fashion, she did the opposite of what I told her which was getting a fuel efficient japanese car

Shorty copped a gas guzzling German SUV that requires premium. Wonder how she's coping with these prices cuz she always had money issues and would ask me to loan her money.

This ***** reads the manual

First car I’ve ever seen take 89.

Gotcha, never seen that, usually I see either a car requires regular 87 or premium 91/93.

It threw me off too because I was taught mid grade was a scam

It's two words that make a difference for automobiles.. "recommended" and "required". If it's recommended, it means you can run 87 as the computer will adjust the timing and other parameters to take the lower octane. If it's required, it means it can't run lower grade for any reason as the computer is set for nothing less than the minimum shown in the manual or on the gas door.

Example, when I sold Fords for all those years, when the first Ecoboost V6 came out (the 3.5TT) it only said recommended and it could run on 87 with no massive power loss (dyno results were less than 10hp on 87 which you won't feel from "seat of the pants" driving. Now the Shelby GT350 and GT500 it's required premium 91 grade (some places don't sell 93). Just an FYI for you.

3.39 at Costco by me, about the same I was paying in 2009.

 

[letsgetit22]

**** is just way too expensive here in LA. My car is a little over 22 gallons and requires premium. **** is bad when you meet the max $ amount at the pump and it turns off automatically before you're done pumping
Some of you in here complaining about $3
The cheapest by me is $4.60

 

[ICE CITY CF]

I don’t think I’ve seen gas in the $3 range since the Bush administration.

 

[GreenNGold89]

This was from like 6 weeks ago, think my last tank was like $120.

Boy do I sure miss peak COVID-19.

 

[Midnitezenki85]

Damn… my local 91 is $5.09.

 

[703 hwy]

I’m sure some of these stations are price gouging as well too. When gas should have been lower they didn’t adjust prices just kept it at a certain amount.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Filled up a few days ago for around $3.55. These prices are closer to the Bush administration than anything else. What gives man?

 

[$tatus $ymbol]

I exclusively buy gas at sams club because they are always legit 10-20 cents cheaper than the average which means their pumps are always crazy busy. Pulled up behind this Asian dude in an older Honda Accord the other day and dude put $60 in that MF I hadn’t even looked at the price before I pulled in but when I saw that I knew I was about to get taken to the cleaners to fill up my F150

 

[adobecs4]

Throwing 20 in the tank don't hit the same anymore smh

Damn, if kirkland signature aint coming through
