Default Gas Prices

Came accross this clipping and got to wondering what everyone else was paying for gas these days. Regular unleaded here in Mobile,Al. is at $1.559 with diesel for the powerstroke dually at $1.749. I hope this thing with Irag is resolved soon. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

I paid $1.77 for a regular this morning, 93 octane was $1.99. I thought the biggest thing driving up gas prices is that oil production in Venezuela has all but halted.

Forget it...with the refinery fire in Indiana and the blast in New York you can bet they won't be going down anytime soon.

Damn,and you guys in Norway never bother anybody,For some reason the Oil Barons don't like your Country neither.I don't think there are many Countries that the US has helped out of JAMS in the past care too much for us anymore [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img]
Look at South Korea,the young people there do not like the USA at all,and if it was not for the USA the young generation may not even be here with us today!!

Norways high gas problems are not cause by oil barons but a far left liberal/socialist agenda of a cradle to grave nanny state. Most of that $5.80 per gallon is taxes. Another cause is the wacko enviromentalist "greens" in many of the European countries have gained power in the last few decades and through legislation want people out of their cars and into mass transit. High gas taxes are one way of doing it.

Sad to say but the US is heading in that general direction of a cradle to grave nanny state. What's worse is most American people are sheeple and don't care.

P.S. Just talked with a Mustang friend of mine in Victoria Australia and they have banned sandblasting because it hurts the environment.

82z I've been living here in Mobile all of my life. How often do they meet and do they have a big turnout. What is their agenda at the meetings?

Cool, basicly they goof off. Actually, I have yet to go to an offical meeting, just a club event. So not sure of there agenda. You can go to the offical website if you want to try and find more stuff out:

There is also a big Trans Am show that they are going to show cars in Pcola on March 14-16 2003.
Hope to see ya there. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Government and Taxes!

In Norway as said before we pay almost 5,80 US$ for each gallon, and that is pretty much the same if its diesel or gas!

Concerning cars, if the cars are newer than 30 years, they double or sometimes tripple the price you payed for the car in taxes before you get plates on it, so a 50 k$ new US car like a Corvette is 200 K US $ in Norway before it has license plates on it!!!!

THEY ARE CRAZY!
