Yeah, I'm sure Mr. Katsuji Kawamata would be flattered that we approve of the name. If you’re implying that I try to imitate Mr. K, then I guess you got me. Nissan wouldn't be around to make the 4th gen Z if not for him. Oh yeah and thanks to you and the honda f**ker for the warm Zdriver welcome.

Looks like someone forgot to take their anti-******* pills this morning. Better double up tomorrow.

Really, who cares that 2 username's are similar. I know it's hard, but quit being a bitch. You've been on the rag ever since you turned Benedict Arnold and jumped over to 3zc.

Thank You Both! Don't worry, I just had my new Nissan Z delivered from SoCal on Monday so, I'll be needing this forum a lot more. 95%+ of the info and users in these pages offer intellegent helpful comments. Well back to the thread topic. My Z was delivered on empty. So my first fill up on Mon. was @ $2.999. So atleast until I fill up again, I can honestly say I've never paid over $3.

Ouch....$3.19 tonight. Sounds like G.W. is getting richer by the minute.

Did anyone see the TNT movie 'Oil Storm'? It started this same way....massive hurricane in the gulf. This sucks. When is the gov't going to raise the price for mileage expenses. It's still at $.405 per mile.

i just waited in line over an hour for gas. The price changed TWICE while I was in line! Most gas stations aren't even open today, b/c they dont even have any gas...

i wonder how big of a party the oil company execs threw when they basically were given a green light to raise prices and profit even more by a freak hurricane?

LOL........... price controls, or any other government controls are generally against my religion, but, then again, I'm beginning to think they're becoming necessary in this case of record oil company profits.

Yikes
I thought it was bad up here...

1 gallon = 3.7854 Liters
1 Litre cost $1.38 for 87 octane = $5.22/gallon CDN
factor exchange = $4.35/gallon US.

Looks like Canada is opening up their oil reserves with the majority going to the US. We have huge oil reserves up here. Doubt it will stop the greed infested price hikes but hopefully it helps slow things down.
As if

Yay! give us your oil... finally!
Funny how you have your own oil but have always paid more for it than us. In Canada, the government is the oil company, right? Here it doesn't work the same.

I still have oil heat in my house. I wonder if I can afford heat this winter....

Back in April 2006, gas prices in SoCal were about $2.80 gal
At that same time, in Needles, CA the prices were $3.99 gal

With gas at $3.60 gal right now in California what do you think the price is in Needles? $4.80 or maybe even $5.00 a gallon?

Needles won't post their current prices on online websites... maybe the employees mark up the price and pocket the money

The benefits of being a Bleach Groupie are numerous... but here are a few

you get to borrow a reticulated crankshaft mandrel tool
you get tell all your friends that you are a Bleach Groupie
you get to wear a Bleach Groupie t-shirt when they are finally produced
you get to have a user title other than "Registered User"
you get backstage passes to all my shows when I go on tour
