I wish it was June or July

Gaz at the pump this morning at 71.4 ltre (2.85 A gal.).. :)
Last july it was at 1.48 ltr (5.92 gal.).. :pissed:
 
Don't worry, I'm sure they will jack the gas prices back up by a couple dollars just in time for summer....
 
Gas is $1.53 a gallon here. However there is 16 inches of snow on the ground and ice on all the lakes and rivers.
 
shoot, at $1.43 / gal here i was thinking on hording some fuel. I just know it will jump back up before memorial day.
 
Guarantee it's 3 to 4 bucks per gallon come springtime
when we start fueling up the tow rigs and the boats:irked:

well the best we can do is enjoy it now........i haven't seen it this cheap since i was 16-17

When I was that age you could pull up to the gas station and get a whole $1.87 worth and be all set for the evening.The hard part was finding someone to buy you a $2.75 sixpack:p
 
When I was 16 & 17 they were having gas wars and gas was .22 cents a gal. It was a good thing because some of the cars that we drove were gas hogs. I had a 1965 GTO 389 Tri Power wish I had it back.:brickwall:

I would take 3 45 gals drum to the cottage For my holdays and i would run out after a week..
 
Back 25 yrs The dude across the street had a 65 389 tri power GTO and I had a 70' 340 4 speed duster.GOOD TIMES:banana:
 
about that time I had a 1967 Barracuda formula S fastback
with a hopped up high compression commando 283 v8 and
serious good times were had! not quite the hp the GTO's
etc had but was quick off the line and ran like a top!!
 
When I was in high school, I was running a 69 Chevelle SS with an LT1 Vette motor. Wish I had that car back these days. Sold it for 2,500 and it would be a ton more than that to replace now.:(
 
Hi-Test Gas

It is nice to have premium gas below $ 2 a gallon. Its been in the 80's this week and I'm gonna do some prop testing tomorrow.

Happy Holidays to All:cheers:
 
A bunch of us are goin boating Friday. I'm taking the little 13 footer. Gonna be 83 degrees here! Enjoy the snow!!
 
Heck It Feels Like June!!! Just passed four people on bikes in tee shirts and if I didnt have the seats out of the boat getting redone I would taken it out on the lake to day!!! And with gas at $ 1.54 I may take the boat and fill it up - Just incase they raise the price by spring:surf:
