Gas will be $4.00 a gallon by Monday 9-05…
This is very reliable information I got from the person who runs my local
Mobil station. Keep in mind this information is coming from St. Louis Missouri. By this coming Monday (in two days) gas everywhere (as in nation wide) will be $4.00 a gallon for regular unleaded. Within two weeks after that it will be $5.00 a gallon. I just wanted to put the word out as best I could to help as many people as I could avoid getting taken by surprise. Thank you and buy a bike. I recommend Trek personally. -- --- END OF LINE.

Exxon-Mobil made $38 billion in net profit last quarter. No telling how much they'll clear this quarter. Can you say "gouging," group? Richard Nixon could. I kind of wish we still had Republicans running things, instead of Neocons.

I just wanted to put the word out as best I could to help as many people as I could avoid getting taken by surprise. Thank you and buy a bike. I recommend Trek personally. It doesn't worry me at all. I commute by bicycle regularly to work every day, and I have a special beater shopping bike with racks and baskets too. I haven't had to put gas in my truck for quite a while now. I started training on my bikes quite a while ago and bought all the stuff I needed months ago. So I am all set. My commute is near the maximun one can do though, 23 miles one way, so I don't suggest one should do that unless they have been riding a lot already. I built up to it over time. Now it is no problem, even in the Texas summer heat. Albeit when it was 103 outside it was pretty tough. Anyway, I figured with all the mileage I wanted to ride during the week the only way to do it was by commuting, it actually gives me more free time that way. I just finished bike riding over and back from our local Cosco, and got several jars of Folger's instant coffee, as it was only $2.97 per 16oz jar. You do know that something like 1.7million pounds or bags or so of coffee was in a flooded warehouse in New Orleans. Coffee prices will be way over the top pretty soon when people run out soon.. of course the warehouse could have been spared, but I doubt it. Anyway I gotta have my coffee in the morning. |

Just to make it interesting: I will donate $50 to the Salvation Army in your name IF you provide credible proof that unleaded regular in being sold on any widespread basis (i.e. not just a couple of wacko stations) for $5.00 or more in St. Louis (or other parts of the area, including St. Louis, St. Charles, or Jefferson counties) at any time on or before September 18, 2005.

With all due respect to the person that runs your local Mobil station, gas station managers aren't in any better position to predict gasoline prices than the rest of us. All of the majors do it the same way: they call their company stations and tell the manager on duty to change the pump price *now*, not next week or in two weeks. Franchise holders (independent owners) get a phone call the night before with the "suggested" price per gallon. Nobody gets two weeks notice. Regards, Bob Hunt |

Hey, Earl, you pretty much described my lifestyle. I have a 15-18 mile one way commute, and I do it 4 days/week. I drive on Monday so I can bring in uniforms(I have a rack trunk and my scrubs get wrinkled). I also do most of my errands on my bike. The rising gas prices will affect us, too, unfortunately. It's going to cost a lot more to truck things to the stores, and the truckers are going to have to pass on the cost. If they're not allowed to, I expect a trucker's strike. On that note, why doesnt' the government SUBSIDIZE DIESEL? Geez, give the truckers a break. |
