Re: Lower Gas Prices
Gas prices are not as high as the retailers are selling them at.. I own a gas station in Charlotte right now and for the last year or so we've been running on little to zero profit margin per gallon. For the last month or so though we've been running at about 30 cents a gallon... Now I know that seems high but remember... we're just tryin' to recoup the loss that we've been taking at the pump as well... We only make money on inside sales at gas stations...
Today's retail price example
Charlotte : $2.84-2.99
My store : $2.81
Cost : $2.51-2.56

Re: Lower Gas Prices
first fill up, i paid $3.21 but this was for premium. the reggie was under 3, like $2.89
what kind of gas are ya'll using?
Also, when i picked up the H2, i noticed that the avg. mpg was something like 4.3!! OMG!!! i thought i just signed for a gas pipline! however, my best avg. fuel is 14.6 with city and maybe three minutes of 55-6-mph on the HW.. best ALL city right now is between 11.6-13.0 NOT BAD!!! i dont understand how ppl complain about how it guzzles gas, its not that bad. I know of street turbo 4-cylinders that sucked up that much gas when cruising around town.

2 hondas in a lifetime was more than enough, spank me very much and break my timing belt.
If i ever wind up with a gas guzzling POS, i'll be sure to unload it. But for now i just have a pickup and an H2 that gets very slightly better mileage and is probably the coolest thing ever put on 4 wheels.

Re: Lower Gas Prices
I am as cool as a cucumber. You come talkin sheite, now it's time to back it up--be sure that I will back up what I say. You came in here looking for a fight and you definitely found it. I am sure you are all glee and joyful and you 'believe' that I am spitting tacks. I assure you that I am not, but I also assure you that if you ever had the balls to talk all this crap to my face, you would not be so joyful at all. Now, lets take this private and get to dealing with it.

My impression is that mileage is slightly better, and the engine slightly smoother on premium. tank to tank varies too much to really make that statement concretely, but it is the impression that i get.
as low as $2.50 for regular today
