Has the price of a gallon of gas reached your team number yet??

[Elgin Clock]

I saw a news clip the other day where low grade gas was $2.37 a gallon, and usually when I see my team's number I let out a Homer-Simpson-like Whoo Hoo!!
As you can guess, I did not this time, cause it was pretty sad/scary.

Has anyone else seen their team number at the pumps lately?

Oh, and for you 4 digit team numbers, you can include the last 9 from the 9/10 in the sighting.

A long time ago I remember when the gas was 1.51 a gallon but not now...

I don't know if the price of gas was ever 67, but the price of gas in my town is Thunder Chickens!

Yep - Gas in Michigan is $2.17. I never thought it would get that bad around here. Just be glad that it isn't Las Gurillas prices yet!

$8.65 per Litre? Maybe 200 years later , lol

I'd be glad if I got the money you earned from your job

I went to the Citgo station by my house the other day and they had taken the signs down to change them. Needless to say the sign was blank and I figured it was one of those things, if you have to ask you can't afford it! I gave the clerk a $10 for 93 octane and got just under 4 gallons.

Oh, and the blank sign, for those of you who put #0000 for your team number.........yes, it has reached the point of your team number too!

Okay! Here goes that "old guy" stuff. As a senior in high school in 1966 I remember paying as little as 28 cents a gallon. That was the main reason we had all those "screaming monster" V8's running around town. I do not recall gas going over one dollar a gallon until the early 70's.

According to the inflation calcuator:

What cost $.28 in 1966 would cost $1.54 in 2002.

I don't know how accurate that is really, but it's kind of interesting...

The wierd thing about gasoline is it never has followed the trends of inflation in the usa but has increased in price over time...

[Lisa Perez]

Whoa guys.. $0.01/gallon! Cah-razy..

.. or $5.73/gallon.. Mm maybe not

[Wetzel]

$1.16 a gallon..thats about what it was around here when I first got my car 4 years ago. Now it's between $1.89 for regular if I am down south a bit at by my girlfriends house, to over $2.90 for premium at pricey stations in Arlington.

This is where I am glad my car still gets 28ish MPG at 14 years old. When I really run it, that will drop to about 18 or so. Just another reason to drive easier.

Premium at the highest stations 'round Syracuse have been close to $2.50-$2.60

Sucks that my family drives nothing but minivans that get 20 mpg highway, 12-15 mpg city.......

[spears312]

In the Tampa Bay area its hovering around $2 (reg.), but since I dont dive yet...

If this keeps up (increase?!? ) when the 05' build starts (I can drive then) goin out to where we build the bot is gona hurt the wallet
but it'll all be in the name of FIRST
