I can't believe it, had to fill the 73 up today and for the first time, It cost over $40.00. $4.18 per gallon in Redding. I guess they need to get the price up to around $4.25 for the cheap stuff, so they might be able to make a profit this Memorial Day weekend. I wonder why they are just jumping 10-20 cents per day, why don't they just make it $5.50 a gallon and get it over with? I know...I know...no one is making any money off of gas :lol:.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Take a minute and remember all of those that have sacrificed their lives for this great land and don't forget the fine folks in the Military for putting it on the line for us. Peace!
Wow! You are 20 cents a gallon higher than in Los Angeles and probably about the highest anywhere in the US. We will be restoring and riding motor scooters in a few years! Gas was $1.43 a gallon when Bush started this war!
You're a funny guy, Gordie. You sit around and b%^&$ about people putting advertising at the bottom of their profiles, and yet you think it's OK to post your Bush-hating drivel in this forum. If you had your facts straight, you wouldn't be so narrow minded. :wow:
Now, THIS is the kind of stuff that doesn't belong here - political propaganda. Moderators, are you paying attention to this GORDIE character? Personally, I've grown tired of him already. Obviously someone who likes to stir a pot. Gas prices are NOT ONE MAN'S FAULT.

its sad i cant even aford to drive a PINTO !!! let alone my f150. but if every one got rid of there gas gusling v8 for daily driving the demand would go down and so would the price's
Apintonut you hit that 1 just right. Hey is there anyone out there that can keep me informed were not to buy fuel for the next 3 week's after June 2, going I-5 to Canada. Motor home ph#'s are 928-916-1268 or 928-916-1468. I know were to buy in Sandy Eggo but that's it. Thank's Fred. ??? :)
I posted on here a few months back about not driving my Pinto as a daily driver and enjoying the comforts of my F150. WELL THATS CHANGED! I drive it every day 45 miles round trip averaging 24-25mpg. I removed 5 degrees of timing and 5 lbs of boost so I can run the 3.89 a gallon regular and not ping it to death and ,If long time members can remember the post about my divorce and keeping the Pinto (the ex hated it) the new fiancee is just the opposite and loves to make great birthday and Christmas gifts by buying me new carpet, stereo, dash cover and more so It's starting to look like a new car inside.

Not the highest...
We jumped from 3.95 to 4.25 and dipped back down to 3.99 yesterday. I paid 4.09 for mid-grade here in Ohio. Across town it was higher than that. :(
Reg was $4.05 a gal last night.next city over it is $4.25 for reg.
just paid $3.75 gallon here in Minnesota
Got back from Maui Hawaii tuesday of this week. Gas is running 15 to 30+ cents a gallon higher than California for each grade. 91 grade was $4.89. :nocool:
Just paid $ 4.05 a gallon in Washington......can't even fill my truck with a $100 bill....this bites!
It's 3.92 in Florida where I live. I remember just last year I could put a 20 in my tank and not have to worry!
Hi people so what is average for 87 on I-5 for CA, OR, and WA reply thank's Fred. :) ???
I just got in from a Memorial Day Ride thru Northern California. When I fueled the Harley at the Chevron in Shasta Lake City, 91 was $4.59 a gallon. The 87 octane at the same station was $4.26 and diesel was$5.00 a gallon. Right across the street was a Valero and the prices were about 2 cents less per gallon for each grade. I would say about $4.20 was the average of the several stations I passed along the ride route for the cheap stuff. I guess with prices that high, a few cents here or there doesn't really matter. We need to get used to just bending over and NO VASELINE Please! And to think, the oil companies don't make any money :lol:
Fred; From what I see around here, you might need to increase your ATM spending limit, increase your credit limit on credit cards, or carry a vault load of $$$$$$ in the back just to make it out of California! Went to Medford last week and the price in Southern Oregon was about 20 cents cheaper per gallon. Ever thought of loading your unit on a rail car and having it shipped...that might be alot cheaper than buying fuel :D
lost coz thank's for info, I can't go buy rail I haft to deliver pinto part's, so I will be checking this 1 everyday until I leave on the 2nd of June. Fred :)
Hi does anyone else have current price's on 87 for CA, OR and WA I-5. I am leaving Monday AM thank's Fred. ??? :)
yeah the price of gas is getting aweful..just picked up a geo metro so i could afford stuff like beer and cable tv gas went up 17 cents a gallon here in a week,
Hi Dave, were is HERE and what year Metro did you buy. ??? I see you are conserving for the important stuff beer and cable TV :lol: :)
Hey Frank,
Got Laptop and WI FI ? Check out gasbuddy.com. Punch in brands, cities, etc. It's a honor based reporting system, but I use it here in Sacramento, no problems with accuracy from fuel buyer reporting.
Safe trip..

Pintosopher

FrankBoss
I"m in central wyo. the price of gas here was 347 a gallon at noon the geo is a 92 and 93 bought them both for $125
$3.47??? Not bad. Here in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, I paid $3.86 for regular yesterday. Was going to fill up my Durango but chickened out and stopped at $75.00 instead. That should get me through the weekend! LOL
Dwayne :smile:
Do not bllame the oil companies blame the Chinese and India , Between them they want to OWN all of the OIL and why do you ask....Because they can...The price of a gallon of gas in China is $2.29 a gallon.....So who is fu#king us yes they are...Are of course our allies( Mexico etc) because of Stalianiis way of running things ie NO FREE MARKET)!!!! We are scre@wed..........
I would have no problem buying a Honda Rebel or something even smaller to save a bunch in gas but I'm sure some moron late for work or shaving while driving would just run me off the road. Instead of car pool lanes, maybe there sure be scooter lanes.
Another quick update...I left last Friday, went to Sacramento, paid $4.59 per gallon for gas, went to Pittsburg, Ca, Paid $4.62 per gallon, went up the coast, Hwy 101 thru the Redwoods, paid $4.67 in Willits, Fueled again in Eureka, $4.65 per gallon, crossed back into Redding on Hwy 299 and fueled on the way North on I-5 at Shasta Lake City for $4.55. I sure am Glad the Harley got 42+ average on this ride. For the 4 days, including the fill-up when I left for $4.55 per gallon, the cost for gas was just over $100.00. The oil companies really stink! I'm sure glad I have something that gets realistic mileage. :showback:NO vasaline please... :lol:
