I can manifest fossil fuel.

I know there are a lot of dead beats out there. I wonder how many people have chosen gas over their monthly car payment because they cant afford both?

I cannot wait for prices of gas to go to 5-6 dollars a gallon.

I am going to start pumping 100 octane 76 unleaded in the GT-R (you know that a daily driven 100 octane car is dope, do not deny it) . Seriously, i am hoping 7 bucks a gallon will keep more retards off the streets, and the broke people out of cars.

Where do you get 100 octane from locally? I want to make my 7 purr like she was meant to be. whether i go broke or not.

The way i see it, I can Live in my car, but i cant Race my house.

There is a 76 Gas station of San Miguel in Newport Beach that sells 101 Unleaded. It is around 6 or 6.30 a gallon. Much better than the 91 crap...

There is also one i know of in old town pasadena.

4.27 around the corner. I can't wait to own a Tesla Roadster.... 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, a 13k redline, and 135 mpg.

Well ok, I guess a 99 mpg Prius is more likely.

Yup...right off Arroyo....after the end or beginning of the 110. I'm glad my C6 is quite decent on gas. At $5 or $6 a gallon, it isn't much of an issue, but when it reaches $10 a gallon, we should start rioting.

I'm contemplating buying a bicycle and start taking the bus. $40 monthly bus pass sounds pretty tempting since i can spend twice that at a single visit to the pump.

Someone tried to steal gas from my ISUZU Amigo! The gas filler door was opened over night. Luckily the $9.99 lockable gas cap was still sealed TIGHT.

People are poking a hole in the bottom of gas tanks and draining them. Especially in airport parking lots where cars sit for days. Needless to say when you get back to your car u r screwed!!!

I'm glad the 7 is garaged and its pretty much impossible to do this at my work without being seen. I would be soo pissed if this happened to me. especially since i only use premium in the 7.

If you tried to start the car without gas, it could lead to early failure of the fuel pump too. Its settled, i'm buying a trunk monkey.
