b300z 04-09-2005 10:42 PM

entropy31 04-10-2005 12:52 AM

2.59. wtf. and have you guys noticed that the oil company's earnings reports are at record highs. "blah blah, supply, blah blah, demand, blah blah." bulls**t! motherf**king price gouging is all it is. straight up highway robbery, period, while the government just sits back and lets it happen. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

CanyonCarver 04-10-2005 07:01 AM

$2.659 at my local 76 on friday. The last that I remember seeing, the friggin' taxes are $.33 per gallon in l.a. county.

dr. buddha 04-10-2005 10:49 AM

tnkrstoyco 04-10-2005 11:37 AM

Premium is 2.49/9 across the street right now. NW Arkansas

RPS13_GZ32 04-10-2005 11:37 PM

excuse my cursing here, but, **** THE PETROL INDUSTRY, $2.89 isnt a price increase, its a straight jack move. And I'm sure all the execs are driving damn vettes. Rich Bitch Bastards.

DarrellBuddy321 04-11-2005 12:17 AM

2.89 for 89 wtf?!?! Premium at 2.99!!! Great!!!
IM POOR NOW! :eek:

Update: $41 89 octane 15 gallons... :(

76 carries 103 octane gas? didnt know that was available at the pump. im used to having to buy it by the drum for our 388 SBC, or is it 110 octane?

$2.67 here in the town. i might have to retire my z for a while and wake up the x-19 to counter the effect this price hike has had on my wallet.:(

tekanitrus 04-11-2005 10:34 PM

thirty five bucks to fill.... when i bought mine last year (novenber) i kept the first fill up slip... 22.37 fill from empty, 89 oct.

i'm going to go cry now.

DynamicJ 04-12-2005 06:52 AM

we just slipped to 1.99 over night. I think its a war going on between these two gas stations down the street. Everyone else is sitting pretty at 2.09/gal for 89 oct. 91 is 2.14, and 93 is 2.19

DoTheDrew888 04-12-2005 07:24 AM

Dude you don't need to be complaining. The lowest I've seen around here for 87 octane is $2.23. This is getting crazy!

bardabe 04-12-2005 03:50 PM

Hey Bob :cool:

91zxtt 04-13-2005 10:11 PM

$2.76 @ the 76 station.

B, fix your car.....that mileage is awful. My truck gets better mileage than that.

Anybody read the article in Motor Trend this month about gas prices? If not, then you should. Yes, prices are higher than we've seen. Yes, they've gone up a lot recently. Yes, there is price fixing involved. Yes, oil companies are making record profits. Keep in mind,.....it could be worse.

im gonna try to squeeze some new 02 sensors in when i do my exhaust. how long would that take me?

lifegrddude 04-14-2005 06:43 PM

I never worked on a Z32, but it'll probably be easier from underneath the car if it's like most modern vehicles. I guess us older Z people get lucky by having the O2 out in the open. If your sensor hasn't been replaced before, spray it down with PB blaster and let it soak overnight. You might have to end up using a cheater bar for more leverage to break it free. Took me about 20 minutes to swap it on my 280zx, but for my friend's Sebring, it took maybe 45ish. Anyways, gas here in SD is about 2.83 for 91. Most expensive I've seen around town is 3.14 and I can't believe some people still fill up there when the station across the street is like 15 cents cheaper....

What are you talking about? That's what was posted at the 76 station up here a couple days ago and it's what I paid today. It wasn't me doubting you.

B-I don't think you can reach the O2 sensors from under the car with the tranny in. It's easiest to remove the passenger side O2 sensor after removing the battery. The driver side is easiest with the brake master cylinder out of the way.

b300z 04-14-2005 07:49 PM

thats what i was afraid of :(

My Fairlady Z 04-14-2005 07:59 PM

Yeah, I get horrrrible gas mileage. I'm thinking possibly bad O2 sensor. Sometimes I realize I do accelerate a little hard. I get maybe 210 on a tank..I should be get 300ish

bardabe 04-14-2005 09:58 PM

pffft I'd get liek 190 on my happy littel tank. my car had poor maintenance I was fixign it little by littel I only had to change the Spark plugs and O2 censors and I was set.

Gas Prices
 
I guess I should consider myself lucky at $1.97 a gallon for regular Gulf in New Jersey....

anlasak 04-18-2005 12:46 PM

$2.43@ BP here in Gainesville,Florida


Sunoco still has race gas for $3.86 though
(Same price it was in January)

If this keeps up I'm switching to Propane.

I have a flux capacitor in my trunk, so my car runs on banana peels and beer cans

entropy31 04-18-2005 05:44 PM

it wasnt the flux capacitor that allowed him to run on garbage, it was a Mr. Fusion. Duh :D The flux capacitor was for the time travel. :p

bardabe 04-19-2005 03:40 PM

76 station.....
Chev..what?....
you guys have some funny sounding gas stations by you. lol
all there is around here basically are BP/Amoco's n Shell stations. The BP/Amoco's are EVERYWHERE. Damn near every corner, any stretch where you might need gas, they're there.
But yeah, gas is getting ridiculous, i don't even go anywhere that much anymore cuz i can't afford the gas. lol

Fast240Z 04-21-2005 09:29 AM

just put gas in my truck this morning...$2.51 a gallon...I remember when gas used to be $1.25.

entropy31 04-21-2005 10:59 AM

i remember when i got my licence it was less than a dollar. i could fill up my blazer for under $20.
