smally Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Not a long time ago it seemed they were going down, now they are up again. And I hate spending that money just to transport to work or school. Any hints, ideas, predictions?...

smally Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 How high did it go in Cali? It is about $2.35 in Nevada. Right now the regular one is $2.43. But it's not been the highest. I guess it would be fair if all the companies (including schools) started to consider providing employees with a fixed amount of payment for gas only. Wouldn't it be nice? ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kars Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Besides, I would never think that that little cute thingy you’re driving should cause any concerns, in this regard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smally Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Well, I still have to fill it once a weak. And it's called not socialism, but забота о собственном кошелке. It's really cute, isn't it? It was hit from behind just recently The mexican driver didn't manage to stop his kachalajka after I pushed the brakes very suddenly. Later while I was trying to pull over and get out of the car, he made a U-turn and drove away. It was one of the most stupid situations I've been in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kars Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 And it's called not socialism, but забота о собственном кошелке. That’s what you call it. I call it «заинтересованность в кошельке kars-а», since I will be among many other taxpayers to subsidize your drive to work or to study! That is dirty socialism! It’s also commonly known as «жить нахаляву». It's really cute, isn't it? Yes, it surely is. Even I – who never liked smally cars – liked it. Looked good, fresh and stylish. I am sorry you had this accident. Hope you have the ”uninsured motorist” clause in your insurance policy. If you need a good lawyer, let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lady-An Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 In my area prices starts from $2.11 and up close to DC or Baltimore. I drive a lot ,so like a Smally I have to put gasoline at least ones a week. What kind of car do you have sister? :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voffka Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Думаю, нормальная цена на бензин должна быть в интервале $1.80-$2.50 за галлон Причем мы находимся в лучшем положении, чем те кто жил примерно 50-80 лет назад. В пересчете на нынешние цены они платили ту же цену (если не больше), но малоэффективные двигатели пожирали гораздо больше топлива, чем сейчас. В то же время в последние 20-25 лет были очень низкие цены на нефть, и мы как бы привыкли к низким ценам на бензин. Поэтому нам теперь кажется, что бензин слишком подорожал. Придется привыкать Еще радует подлая мыслишка, что наши северные соседи платят за бензин немного больше Кстати, отличный сайт - http://www.gasbuddy.com/ - вводим зипкод и находим самый дешевый бензин поблизости.

Usually it is about $.30 higher in LA than in las vegas, and it's currently $2.37 in vegas. I think the gas price went up because of holidays (high demand).

smally Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I live in Las Vegas. Are you in Glendale? No (как это ни странно) I used to like Glendale but soon realised that the further you are from the Armenian gossiping community, the better. Though even in this neighborhood all of our neghibors are Armenian, but it's at least possible to keep the distance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
