Gas for $1.99 a gallon around here.

I was paying less than $1.31 for it in ‘97. If you base inflation off what I was paying for it, it would be at like $2.00.

 

And if you used 2006 as a baseline, you'd be paying $28.16 today. My point was prices fluctuate, both up and down. What's yours?

 

You did less than a 1st grade job at making that point the first time. Thank you for clarifying though.

 

My point is every time you enter one of these threads, your logic is screwed up. Remember your $7k oil change reference in the Tesla thread.....yeah....

 

Logic? Inflationary calculations are facts, math, in fact. It's not a matter of opinion from which logic is required to extrapolate the meaning. I don't see the relevance of replies stating 'once in X I bought Y for $Z.' Ok, great personal anecdote, buddy.

All ya'll want to drive giant vehicles and have the hutzpah to complain about gas prices. That seems illogical to most.

 

Diesel fuel, you know...what trucks use to deliver your stuff.

 

Inflationary calculations are as good as the input data, which means they are pretty much all personal anecdotes cherry picked to prove whatever point you want to make.

 

500 ml is larger than a U.S. pint by about 0.9 oz. An Imperial pint is whole 'nother thing (20 UK oz. or ~568 ml).

 

I can vouch for the fact that an Imperial pint is more debilitating than the American version, although some of that is probably due to chemical composition.

 

I always buy vehicles with big motors that get shitty gas mileage. Hell I do it intentionally. I know the gas mileage will be shit going into it.

And I have never once complained about gas prices.

 

Dangit, that's right.

Fuckin metric... That shit caused one of the space shuttle crashes, didn't it? Or was that some other rocket? I forget.

About the only conversion I have a firm grasp on is ounces, half ounces, quarter ounces, and grams.

 

Neil Young fan, eh?

 

Nope. Southern Man don't need him around.

 

Ten years before 1982 the price was $1 a gallon cheaper.

 

Anyhow, back to picking up shit.

 

I went from a Passat TDI getting damn near 50 miles a gallon to my truck which gets 15 miles a gallon, maybe.

Couldn’t care less either way.

 

It ain't just gas, I figure I'm burning about $23 per day in heating oil.
I filled it a week ago with almost a quarter of a tank left and it cost $660, and I've already burned almost a quarter of a tank.
Getting the tank filled dropped my credit rating.
We are not amused.

 

Wow, I avg $5.50/day, in Maine, with a large airspace?

 

I'll go through 3 or 4 gallons a day, which is somewhere in the $11 neighborhood.

 

I have my windows open.
