If it keeps going up I may have to get me a scooter to go detecting on. Vespa is coming out with a hybrid that gets 172 miles per gallon. When I drove out to Harbor Freight yesterday it cost me $4.00 for gas just for the round trip. It's getting to be a real crock.

Be glad your not in Europe. It's 10-11 bucks a gallon.
 
there are 1000's of homeless horses now. People have lost their land and just left them. They are free! so saddle up and go detecting.
Bill you would look good on one.:stretcher:
 
But the big difference is the price of oil there is only part of it. Their government taxes the heck out of them.....Jack
 
Here it's $6.28 a gallon or $1.32 a litre.:thumbdown:
 
I think it's fairly ridiculous, and think the amount of price increase over
such a short period of time is too. You just can't tell me demand is *that*
far up vs supply. It's all them danged speculators driving the price up
more than anything I think.
Also the companies keep making higher and higher profits.
Seems to me, if they kept the sales prices in line with the price
of oil/refining, the profit margin should stay about the same.
Why the constant large increases in profit?

All I can say is I'm glad I bought a Corolla when I got my last car...
It's saving my butt. If I had to drive only my trucks... It would be grim.
On the highway, 16 mpg vs 40-42 mpg...
If it takes me 80 bucks to drive 900 miles in the Corolla, it will cost
me $200+ in the truck.
Needless to say, my trucks have been on no long trips lately...
Shame really, as they have campers, etc..
 
$4.19 here.
 
I could get to about 75 percent of my sites on a Vespa or similar scooter. Problem is that with high gas prices the demand for these things has increased and it is not a buyers market for them right now. I had a 1950s Vespa when I was a teen and it went almost 60 mph. A lot of fun and I wish I had kept it although it was in the shop a lot.

how does anyone know what the future holds.. If they are so good they can tell maybe I could get them to go detecting w/ me so They can tell me whats under the ground so I dont have to dig anymore bad targets. I dont beleive anything I hear and only half of what I see.:rofl:
 
$4.41 here for regular.. Maui , good thing i can't drive too far
 
Do what I did switch to riding your bicycle I can fit all of my gear on my bike and get to my favorite spot on the river in a few minutes, everyone should quit buying gas for a month that will bring the price of gas down!!! We need a big protest we all have to stick together and fight back against the oil companies profiteering, there is no reason for the oil companies to raise there prices, except to cripple the economy, but if you quit buying gas every time they raise the prices the prices will come down but everyone needs to grow a spine and get a pair if the oil companies have no money to run on prices will drop dramatically, and they know it!!!! PROTEST!!!!!!
 
I know what your trying to say but there can be problems. I'm self employed and drive a 1 ton small cab over truck for remodeling. If I don't buy fuel I can't make any money. If I don't make any money then I loose my house and more importantly I may have to sell my detectors!
 
That sounds like a bad dream khouse.:thumbdown:
 
Many truckers are going under. Hard to keep driving when the price of fuel
is higher than the money you are getting paid for the haul.
I use a 3/4 ton truck with a utility bed for work. So far, I'm still charging the
same service call rate as when gas was much cheaper.
So far I've just been eating it, and making a tad less on the call.
Dunno how long that is going to last though. Depends on the distance.
Some calls are very close, so no big deal. But if it's across town it starts
to add up.
