Gas Prices

It's a state tax thing, looks like most of you are out of luck, but here you go:

You would have to do an awful lot of boating in Missouri to make the work required to get the $.17 a gallon rebate worth while. Nice thought but not really worth the time and effort

Thank Tequilla for the link, you are right not many states participate


You know, now that I think about it, how do they regulate that refund. You could claim all sorts of gas rebates, as long as you have the receipts. There is money to be made by telling a few "white" lies!!

Not that long. Fill the tank up 10 times and they owe you $68. Not a lot of money, but it buys a few 30 packs.

Yea I know, but you got to keep the receipts, and fill out the paperwork.........yea it's easy, I hear that, but another thing to track. I guess because I'm HORRIBLE with paperwork and things like getting rebates from stores, I'd probably never even turn in my gas receipts. Not for $0.17 that is

We have an account at the local marina, they will total it up for us at the end of the month/year, so that makes it less of a PITA. It does add up. I just hate giving the government more of my money. They are in my pocket so deep already, I figure getting my 0.17 is just a thumb of the nose to them.

The In-laws get a pretty good rebate, as their houseboat take 300 gallons to fill it up. I believe you can do the same thing with a gas card, might be something to check into.

What kind of monster truck do you drive? My 8.1L Suburban has been averaging 12 in the city.

F-250 4x4 lifted with 35" Not so good with fuel

[Greg Mallek]

Hey Coach;
Lets see what you pull that beatiful new RZ2 with. Heres a picture of my truck. I think it's the same lift, and tire size as yours.

P.S. 12 M.P.G. no matter what i'm doing.

[G-MONEY]

So..... I don't see a pic of your truck????

[Greg Mallek]

Sorry, Been having trouble with that latley

[Matt Garcia]

I like the rims on that truck Greg. Good looking truck too.

[Greg Mallek]

Thanks!

OK...I am officially pissed. I'm in Baltimore this week for a conference and I paid $2.39 a gallon to fill the rental car at a NJ Turnpike travel plaza today. That's almost a BUCK a gallon less than I was paying for gas in the SF Bay area when I left. I can't understand why gas is so much cheaper anywhere else than California.

sheesh...

Article on MSN.com just now



Analysts say drivers should brace for more increases in the coming weeks. Crude oil, which makes up about half the price of gasoline, is trading above $60 a barrel. Higher demand, refinery maintenance and fears about springtime shortages are also driving up prices, particularly on the West Coast.

“The West Coast will certainly be the wild, wild West this year,” said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for the Oil Price Information Service. Extensive maintenance work at West Coast refineries has curtailed supplies and exacerbated the typical “preseason rally” spurred by jitters about tight supplies.

“In the rest of the country it’s just petro-noia. They’re worried that they won’t have enough gasoline,” Kloza said. “But on the West Coast the concern might be warranted.”
