Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss $2.96 Gas...

010 GMC SIERRA SLT Extended Cab 4X4, 6.2 Liter, 3.73 Gear, 4W Disc Brakes, K&N CAI, Heartthrob 4 inch CBE, E85 tune by dynotune USA.

22 highway @60mph, 18 highway @80mph.

Since it was on the dyno, what's the HP/TQ readings too?

Tuesday, gas jumped from 2.52/gal to 2.89/gal Yesterday, only 4 days later, it is down to 2.44/gal. Every week now is the same. We are getting from .20 to .50 per gallon price spikes, and in just a few days, prices get slowly reduced to prices even lower than they started.....insane!

Our local prices finally dropped below three bucks per just this week.

Rex, It bounces like that all the time here. If you get gas mid-week, it's usually the lowest. Friday night the sign said $2.86. Not paying attention to the pump before almost full, it was at $3.049.

Picked up some diesel for the tractor, that was $4.09. I can get off road stuff, but not on Saturday in the area. I won't buy it from the station a mile away... trust me!

On-road diesel is $3.599 here.

3.11-3.29 down here.

I think they change the volatility levels of gas about 5x per year up here. Not sure what they do with diesel.

I was having an issue for about a week or two where there was some hesitation from an idle to moving. WT?, go online and check it out. Ton's of dollars involved for the fix, but it really was scraping the bottom of the tank at the gas station when I filled up. Ran it thru, and all is well.

They say that no price fixing goes on between companies. Anybody know why all stations in an area always seem to change their prices at the same time to the same price?

$8 / gal here. Smile guys...

I was checking into going to Istanbul for a week a couple months ago. No car rentals available. Book a flight from that end and it's expensive. Book two round trip with a two day layover in Switzerland on return, which included hotels from this end, and it was not much more than a dreary flight from Istanbul to Michigan.

Oh, I am sure there would have been an adventure in all of this, if it happened

JKB, we have like thousands of car rental companies here. I wonder why you had this problem .

If you ever come to the Southeast part of Turkey(Gaziantep) , give me a call(Forum call at least) .

Thanks Faith, we all need a wake up call now and then. I remember awhile back when gas was at about $4 per gal the local news was interviewing folks about the prices. One guy they talked to said "hey, we just got back from Italy and that's how much it was a Liter". We all seem to take for granted what a great country(THE BEST) we live in. Ain't gonna have some Federally kick down the door and haul the family away.
I don't have a lot of material things but me and my family are healthy and happy.
Let me be the first to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

Fatih, it was because they were all booked solid and nothing available from an online perspective.

I think it would be really cool to visit your part of the world. You may even think it to be cool to visit Grand Haven, MI. I live here and hate this town, but tourist from all over the world show up here and it get's to be a mess during the summer months.

I can honestly say it's a nice place to visit, but wouldn't want to live here

Paid $2.44 for gas yesterday. Diesel was $3.29, and 100% real gas was $3.39. I guess the market bears the 100% gas prices, but it's worth it for outdoor equipment.

Testify, brother.

2.38 last Thursday and jumped to 2.89 that afternoon...following sunday, back down to 2.44...today, Tuesday, 2.31...insane price hikes/drops

I guess the rioters have good fuel prices to burn down the area now

$2.09 for regular and $3.39 for diesel on the way home.

Asked a gal that owns a station down the road what she thinks is going on? Said many theories about, but she hasn't a clue. She said all she has to do is stay competitive. Told her that she better drop her price 4 more cents.

These are like 2004-5 prices. Hey, did we hit some sort of strange time thing and everything is going backwards? Ya know, I do feel younger today

$1.75 unleaded and $2.95 for diesel

Prices sure are hurting the Russkies. Could OPEC be going along with this to discourage the passage of the Keystone Pipeline project?

My understanding is that speculators drive the market. They'll be back.

Don't have a clue, but if this get's to $1.75 around here, that's going back some time.

One of the theories out is the lower prices are tossing extra bucks in peoples pockets so they can spend more on other things this holiday season.

OPEC is flooding the world market with oil. They want to stop America from participating in the world market. Every time America gears up exploration for our own oil, the Saudies fluid the market. It happened in the early 80's and it has taken a long time to get us back to where we are today. We improved technology (horizontal drilling and fracing horizontal wells). And they do it again. Flooding the market drops oil prices where American Companies can not compete. It's same thing as making tennis shoes in America, we can not make them for the same price as China. We all enjoy low fuel prices but this has already cost several thousands jobs in the energy business and it may cost millions of jobs before it's all over. I think it is time for America to have an energy policy and where we do not depend on the Middle East to provide the oil to America. And as far as the big Keystone pipeline we have been hearing about for several years. Canada can not produce the oil at todays oil pricing, so the keystone and Canada will pump little if any oil through the pipeline is no benefit to America now. Me, I would prefer to pay a little more at the pump to keep millions of Americans working.

I don't understand economics or world trade or any other related matter, but why would we want to participate in the world oil market by selling our oil when we consume so much of it that we have to buy it from other countries. I can understand that we would buy oil in an attempt to conserve our own but I certainly don't understand our selling our own domestic supply.
