Hehe, any of you wonder what'll happen when we run out of gas?

 

Yes, and it's scary. Not for cars...we can use alternative fuel sources for cars. I'm more scared for the military.

 

i thought more people would know this. but judging by the replies, most of you have no fukcing clue.

yeah, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday are the days you wanna avoid the gas pumps. Weekend travelers, paydays, etc. all increase the demand on these days, so gas suppliers take advantage by jacking up the prices.

Even if I've only got a dollar and change in my checking account (happens quite often), I'll go to the pumps as late as I care to go on Wednesday night to fill up. That way by the time the actual $15 - 22 charge hits my account on Friday, I'll have the money to cover it. Gotta love "Pay at the Pump".

I've been surprised on some Tuesdays and Wednesdays, though. Go to work in the morning rushing to make it in and see gas for a good, good price. Fukc around and try to get gas on my way home, and the prices done gone up $0.10 - $0.20! But then I know of two places--a BP and a Shell--who are always a bit late in the price change. So if I see that gas has suddenly gone up in price in the middle of the day, I'll retreat to either of those gas stations.

Yes, I may ride around 30 minutes looking for a better gas price if I was caught with a middle-of-the-day price change. But my satisfaction from saving $1.50 - $3.00 ($0.10 - $0.20 x 15 gallons) is much greater than the $1.399 gallon of gas I'm burning running across town looking for the cheaper price.

Also, there are some parts of town that allways have a cheaper gas price. I usually fill up there even if I have a half-tank of gas!

 

Just stick with "name brand" places. I've heard that their gas is purer and higher quality, and the little places just sell refused stuff. :dunno: Not often that much of a price difference, so I usually go to Exxon Mobile.

 

HAHAHA once i went to this place called "MERV's Gas Station" its on the back of Knott's Berry Farm here in S Cal. That gas did a number on my engine.:madfawk: Merv's Gas

 

Merv's Gas Station :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: So I guess brand does matter.

 

I hit up two places. Kroger and Sams Club. Usually sams club is cheaper just depends where I am at. If you pay with a sams card you get 5 cents off already the cheapest gas in town. At kroger if you use the kroger plus card you get 3-5 cents off depending on the type of the gas.

 

The problem with that is that it's usually a mix of all different brands of gasolines from different refineries to make it so cheap. I use Sunoco, Hess, or Citgo...Mobil gas always ran poorly on a car I had a few years back, so I shy away from them now.

 

well everytime i have been there and the truck was there it was always from the same place. The truck had the same name written on it. TIger Fuel, they supply all of the gas in my area.

 

You guys think you have it bad paying a 1.39 or even 1.55 a gallon for gas come to Northern Cali and see some of the gas stations have regular at 1.79 a gallon which makes supreme 1.99 and one day i was running short and on the gs light and had to fork over 2.05 a gallon so be happy with a 1.55 a gallon.
