Good to hear from ya Andy! I'm tryin to figure out what to do with my Jeep. Its an '01 Grand Cherokee has 107,000. miles on it Straight 6 motor only gets around 15 mpg. Don't owe anything on it, which is the good thing.. I guess I can buy alot of gas for what a payment would be on a newer vehicle, and I doubt I would get much trade in value for mine, but for a ride that maybe gets 30 mpg maybe it would be worth trading?? Whats a feller gonna do?

Hi all... Always so much here to catch up on when I get a chance to pop in, so much O.T. at work. A lot of 7 day weeks. I'm getting a bit weary of work but there's a cut back in hours coming for the next 2 months.
I hope everyone is well. Yup gas is going to climb to $4 by next year, oil hit $98 a barrel at about noon today. We'll be riding mopeds and bicycles in the next few years while China and India out pace us in oil consumption. China signed exclusive contracts with Argentina for all their oil exports. Brazil on the other hand imports no oil, they produce all the fuel they need from sugar cane.
Hmmm... Make my own ethanol from those summer grass clippings???

We seem to be heading towards an economic depression. My theory is crime will increase at exponential levels..........example: a guy in his 50's shot himself in the head when cornered by the cops while robbng a bank. He was not a career criminal, just a joe blow from North Dakota.
The demand for gas by China will kill us and erode any savings people think they get by buying Chinese garbage products.
We will be experiencing wheelbarrow inflation soon.
That trip back from Wyoming was pricey. Woot the hell is it with gas stations close to the interstate? They seem to think it is their right to charge more than anyone else. Another thing that I noticed, in Colorado and Wyoming their octane ratings are lower, you have a choice between 85, 87, and 91.

Last I heard, oil was about $94 or $95 a barrel. May have changed today. But, that's where it's hovering...
On Wednesday alone, crude oil swung within a $5 range, topping out at $96.24 in overnight trading Thursday.

Dave wrote: With oil goin' for $90.00 a barrel Friday, I'm surprised it ain't higher. That $3.00 gas was a "Cheap" gas station. I don't know what 91 is goin' for... I filled up the bike with 93 octane yesterday for $2.92.
