gas prices

gas is mad expensive nowadays....how much do you guys spend on it a week? someone should do a poll.

i spend like 40 bucks only going to school and work. i try to buy during the middle of the week (cuz the prices are a bit lower) and i use www.torontogasprices.com ....best site ever! but it's still mad expensive

anybody got better strategies?

i dun use torontogasprices because i only gas in my area since if i go too far out of my area, the travelling distance = the cost of the discount... i get a clear idea of which one is cheaper than others and usually what time the adjust their price... so i'll pump gas on my way.... sometimes i would gas it up even i have just killed maybe 10L of gas if i see anything below 74.0 (otherwise, it is not attractive enough for me to spend my $$$ yet)... i bus to school/work normally and i would only drive to pick up gf or go out at night... i spend like 25-30 a week (eg)... i use 89, no point of using 91 when our engine is not like a b16 or greater... and i shift like old granny 2700-3000rpm shift.... i drive 450km a tank on my EG

if you want to complain stop driving a car. if you can't afford it ohhh well too bad. only way to send a message is to stop driving or car pool anything to save gas or not have to buy it. the less demand there is the lower the price

Use to spend around $20 on gas per week...i travel a bit futher now....i spend $30 on gas per week now.

I think it's moderately priced....78.9 sometimes...highest i've seen it now a days is 87ish? give or take a couple of cents...

If you want gas to be lower then stop selling out by buying cheap chineese and Indian products. By suporting North America, GB, Europe and Japan. You will see more money go back in the economy.

By "saving a few bucks" by buying cheap chineese crap you are only selling your self out in the long run. [rant]

On the topic of ranting:
Then you have these"Electric" cars that are supposed to be enviromently friendly yet the electricity that powers them usually comes from power sources that damage the enviroment. ie coal, nucular.

i don't like when gas prices drop because then all hte cheapo's line up, and I'm forced to wait in line.

I have no problem paying $5 more each week if I never have to wait in line.

Time is money.

He means we get taxed up the **** on gasses because people don't support our economy by buying from our free trade agreements and our industries. Instead they buy from India and Japan.
