Gas prices
-
I just paid $2.82/gallon for 89 octane. Someone - somewhere - fat fingered the wrong price into the system at a local Valero station. 92 Octane = $3.83/gallon 89 Octane = $2.82/gallon 87 Octane = $3.69/gallon (my typical purchase)

Nice, fill up whilst you can! Prices still rocketing here: £1.12 per litre of unleaded :( and diesel crossing the £1.20 mark.

Diesel is costlier than petrol? :wtf:

Hey, rape is rape, and its bad no matter the intensity of the act.

Actually, they cost the same in most countries. It's in India that we get Diesel at a much cheaper price than Petrol.

Very true, it's moreover the government doing the raping, not the actual cost. In the UK over half the cost is down to taxes. It sickens me that it costs nearly £50 to fill up my little 1.1 hatchback.

here the tank reached 22 $ i think we will use bicycles if the prices of gas increases more than that
At some point people will start moving jobs just to avoid the long commutes. This could well cause havoc as smaller towns will suddenly have an "influx" of people looking for a decreasing number of jobs, while the big cities will have jobs a-plenty but no-one being able to afford to get to them. Back to the Middle Ages when people rarely ventured out of their own village and a journey to "the big town" took all day on a horse/cart, except these days it'll be by bicycle.
I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

Yep. In Europe they use ULSD (Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel). Its very clean and obviously it has a higher calorific (not food, energy) than normal Gasoline/Petrol. Its become the same here, only its not clean :(

Well, I caught the discrepancy. Congrats. Did you run over to the hardware store and buy a few five-gallon jerry cans?

Hence the reasons why cities like Manchester and building tons of apartments to house these non-communting workers, I reckon the goverment knew this fuel crisis was going to happen about 10 years ago.
