Hmmmmm? Tick, tock, tick, tock! :AH-HA_wink:

Damn. Prices just went below $3 the past two days or so../

Damn. Prices just went below $3 the past two days or so../

darn, in SE MO it's been around 2.50 for maybe 2 weeks?

Damn, I need to fill up quick....

Oh boy, let's start a GAS SCARE! EVERYONE PANIC!!!

Sure, prices could go up with a natural disaster, but I don't recall speculation like this ever helping...

i've got plenty of gas right now and i won't charge you a single dime for it.

If a Cutlass comes along, this shall be fun.

Look at my signature...do I seem like I care?

I care...I just paid under $3 for the first time in months

I'm at school, no more driving for me.

But still, $5 gas is soooooo much better than higher fuel economy standards!!!

I'm at school, no more driving for me.

They don't let you drive at school or no need to?

I paid $2.59 last night at Wawa. Dean doesn't scare me one bit.

They don't let you drive at school or no need to?

No need to. He's got a cafeteria for food, a dorm/house for living, and other close places for partying. What the hell else do you need in college?!

I paid $2.69 last night. I think anything over $1.50 is highway robbery

but what can we do against the power that be...?

Not worth freaking out about.

Sex?

Damn, I didn't even think of the hurricane. Gas prices just dropped to about $2.40 for regular here. But I guess if gas prices really bothered me I would not have bought a truck in the first place.

Fly, do you have shares in Texaco?

We're paying $3.88 a U.S. gallon (.97 a litre) up here. We hit 1.30 a litre (about 5.20) two years ago when Katrina hit. I just bought an Optra 5 for my other half and he only drives about 150 miles a week, so no, we don't care too much about gas prices.

Damnit... just when my car has something wrong with it where I'm averaging 12.5 mpg in mixed driving. MF.

I LAWLed at these.

If it does climb again I'll ask for a raise to offset the price of delivering...did I mention I hate assholes who don't tip?

Oh goodie, goodie! Looks like Exxon has found yet another excuse to further line the interiors of their Lord Buxtons. Hoooo-raaaaayyyyy!

Oil prices are lower than they've been in a long time. Gas is still $2.50 a gallon. Guess they must find a way to justify the cost, as the means do not make sense.

My bull$h! detector hasn't jumped this high since I was blatantly lied to repetitively by my last two ex-girlfriends.

Actually the Bonnie and the Olds ought to be pretty good on the highway.

They are. 26-30 for the Bonnie, 24-28 for the Aurora. Makes me wonder why people deal with the embarassment of a Corolla to get, what, 6mpg more?

I LAWLed at these.

Not likely to happen. In fact Pizza Hut recently changed their commission structure, instead of getting a set amount per delivery (had been as much as $1.25) there is a scale based on number of deliveries per run, i.e. taking a single nets the driver $1.06 taking a double adds an extra $0.76 adding a third delivery adds an extra $0.21. A friend of mine who still delivers was telling me about this a few weeks ago, all of the drivers were bitching. I told him to get out, being a delivery driver hasn't been worth it in about two years, between gas, maintenance and depreciation, it just isn't viable as a full time job, which is what I told people when I left last year. Nobody believed me. Now they're making less than a year ago (even with the minimum wage increase) and I'm making twice what I used to..

Oh, which corner are you working, Satty?

you still nailed them though, right?

I'll be honest, things didn't last long enough with either of them to get that far. One lasted about three months (got tired of me, basically), the other was about two weeks (indecision made things fall apart). Still doesn't mean I didn't try to go as far as I could without being an asshole.

And now I'm about to go down the same road again with another girl. Guess I like the abuse. But, hey, I can't live with a missing rib!

thread=carry on

Oh, which corner are you working, Satty?

I'm looking for a new one since those damned trannys beat me up and took my turf. Maybe I'll grab my Louisville Slugger and get my corner back.

But seriously, I've managed to parlay my experience as a delivery driver/pizza bitch and my half a Bachelor's degree into a pretty sweet gig as a paperwork bitch for a company that sells crap to people who feel they need crap. The important thing is that I have a part-time assistant and a cubicle that I have decorated with Family Circus comics whose text I have whited out and replaced with punchlines that are actually funny.

Speaking of cubicles, you know what's really gross? When I see cubicle hairs on the urinal. Ew.

Here is a question I always wondered about, has anyone ever given you a sexual favor for their pizza deliver Satty? :AH-HA_wink:

I never had it happen in the roughly two years I delivered. I got hit on from time to time and got beer as a tip (or in addition to a tip) a few times, but never had a sex-for-pizza offer.

Shouldn't you be busy bugging Lutz to get us some more diesel Opels?

All work and no play, makes for a dull boy!

*groans*

Here comes a monkey wrench in my financial situation. $5 gas would officially make filling up my tank a major purchase.

They are. 26-30 for the Bonnie, 24-28 for the Aurora. Makes me wonder why people deal with the embarassment of a Corolla to get, what, 6mpg more?

Exactly.

If I was more concerned about MPGs I'd buy another B-body...

You can have a nice big cushy Fleetwood Brougham & get almost

30mpg AND keep your dignity.

----

As far as the sex-for-pizza deal... I';d think that a girl willing to

give it up for $10 worth fo junk food A.) doesn't have much self

respect, and B.) probabyl does have the clap & maybe the 'Hiv.

Exactly.

Hmmm...didn't those V8 B-bodies struggle to get 20 mpg?

Anyway, it's $2.85 here in metro Denver... filled up the GC yesterday, getting my usual 16-18mpg with mixed city/freeway driving...

The guy I sold my 1994 Roadmster to had a nicer, cleaner 1996

that he said got him 28pmg consistantly on the highway... this

was not some retard shooting from the hip, the guy also has a

1939 Pontiac & he is going to drop the LT1 out of my Roadmster

into his 1987 elCamino, he's a real gearhead.

28 to me is almost 30.

Interesting..just hard for me to believe big heavy cars like that getting that much mileage. Though I have seen my 5.0 Mustang get 27 on the highway, so I know it's possible for a V8 to get decent mileage...

I've seen a few roadmasters and other b-bodies get decent gas milage....which surprised me....

Apparently, you don't watch either the Jerry Springer or Maury Povich shows My 13 y-o has been watching that garbage all summer and there are many teenager girls that "give-it-up" for food and/or clothes!!! What they don't get at home, they will seek elsewhere.

I hate those stupid shows...

I'm so sick of this approach the gas companies are taking with consumers, and the sad thing is it works everytime! The media nowadays makes me puke with their sensationalism slants, they don't help with the panic inset either with the consumers. Anyway it looks like I'll be paying $50 - $60 to fill up again

Now it's looking like Dean will go south and miss most of the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Of course the oil companies will come up with some related to this storm anyway and jack the price.

Edited August 20, 200718 yr by Chris_Doane

...always and forever on the jack up the price thing...

Chris

Did you hear that the prime minister of Bolivia's third

cousin once removed, dog walker's father-in-law's

half-sister's manicurists's aunt got a speeding ticket

the other day?

I'm pretty sure that means that gas will be $7 by 2008.

Every fall I take a trip through the mountains of Western PA. Every other year we take my friend's 94 Roadmaster. Even in the hilly terrain we see 25mpg
