So long recovering economy

Anyone else hear about possible gas prices this summer? At least $4, possibly more.

Yeah, There will be a lot of hot rods sitting on lots if this happens. The ZL/1 may be dead before it get's here.

I would suspect $4 dollars in the near future, and getting at high as $5 in the summer time. As for economy, well I live in Houston, Texas and the economy is good when gas is high, and I just so happen to work in the O&G field. I drive a honda civic for a DD, and it gets 30mpg, and the camaro is my toy.

If it hits $5 a gallon I will just go buy a cruse as my daily driver. They look nice and get great gas milage.

True we had a meaning just an hour ago about fuel surcharges and increased labor rates do to this BS.

This is the powers in charge forcing their ways on us. Hope you all enjoy driving pop cans around and working just to give half your pay back to the man.

It's already $4.00 for premium here. I fully expect to see it hit at least $4.50 if not more more premium within the next month or so.

The cost of gas in the retailers tanks at that moment has not gone up. They bought it at a certain price. Why do they raise price on something they already bought at a certain price? That's what gets me.
