We got mad at Bush for letting gas prices jump. What do we do now?

And you, like Jeremy Clarkson (on that Top Gear clip I posted on your thread in the Lounge), probably have the word "penis" written on your helmet.

Well, yeah, it is made by Fulmer and has Fulmer written on the back.


You probably won't get that if you're not an SEC fan.

Care to explain?

Care to explain?

What, and kill the mystery?

Mrs. Robinson should be able to explain.

Why are you so dumb?

The last time I got gas, I paid $3.23 a gallon -- a couple weeks ago.  I have to fill up today.  Gas is about $3.70 a gallon.  That's more than a 10 cent discrepancy. 

It's why I don't go more than a couple of days between fillups--that and the fact I can only get to/from work for 3-4 days on a full tank.  If I fill up when it hits 1/2 tank, I avoid paying the increased gas costs on a full tank.

I was just under 3/8 when I filled up after work last night.  Just shy of 12 gallons, $41.00.  Two years ago, I could fill up from empty for less than $30.

**** you, Obama.  **** you, DUmmies.

I miss the good old days when a $5 bill filled the tank and I could run 2 weeks on that 5.....

Gas was $0.99-$1.05 when I got my DL's back in 1999.  I remember because it was so cheap to drive to my friend's houses and the mall.

That summer, there was a huge glut of oil on the market... gas stations were cutting their prices like crazy and people were buying it just as quick. For a few days, there was a station in Raleigh selling regular for 75 cents, but the average price for a long time was well under 99 cents a gallon.  I graduated during the end of Bush Sr.'s term and gas varied from $1.15-1.35 that year.  For some reason, I remember filling up and paying $1.30 and thinking it was expensive.  Of course, I was only making six dollars an hour at work.

I remember Mom complaining about how the price of gas had ascended to 65 cents a gallon back when she would stop and gas up on the way home from church.
I think that may have been in a different century.

Damn, since she didn't show up, I guess I have to explain. You asked if I had "Penis" written on my helmet. I said, well, I do have Fulmer. In the small print I said you probably wouldn't get it if you're not an SEC fan. Phil Fulmer was the dickhead coach of the University of Tennessee. I said "Mrs. Robinson", AKA debk, would be able to explain it.
