Over time it's going to go up and up and up. It's gone up what--a dollar in the past 12-18 months? Just let that sink in for a minute and you'll realize what's going on. [/ QUOTE ] I think Johnny Cat said we paid $1.52/gallon on our way up to SCR7...this year, on our way to SCR8 at the same station, we paid $3.00...

Re: better gasoline?
There will be always be car shows, car events, and car collectors, etc........but with gas prices at these levels and rising at a HIGHER rate than the cost of living index....I feel that attendance at ALL shows, tours, auctions, cruise ins everything will go down measurably........
People dont speak out yet publically too much yet, but Ive had several recent phone conversations, where people didnt go to one event or another, due to fueling up their tow vechicles and/or cars. Chuck S

Re: better gasoline?

Re: better gasoline?
Well, to my surprise, it looks like gasoline is not immune from the laws of economics, ie., supply and demand. More people are opting for fuel efficient cars, motorcycles, and scooters for errands and parking their SUV's for use on non-essential chores. Not everyone, but many that I know of.
As far as car show attendance, well, our cars are our recreation. Yesterday, in Alameda, the annual Park Street car show had more than 400 participants,..and not one of them had mileage in double figures. Everyone I talked to was willing to sacrifice a second or third $3/cup Starbucks frappo/crappochino for a gallon or two of high octane. They weren't happy with the cost of gasoline but no one would even think of giving up driving their muscle cars.

Re: better gasoline?
$43.00 to fill up the Camaro today, $3.15/gl for Sunoco 94.
I like to tell people that it'll pass everything but a Sunoco.  I'm sure glad that I don't live in France!
