All this stuff is driven by the commodity market... supply and demand don't mean anything anymore... if they did, gas prices would've fallen through the floor last year when we had an utter crap ton, and were using record low amounts of our supply...

I'm not sayin that $2.69 a gal is breaking my bank, if that was the case I certainly couldnt even afford to own an Evo... I noticed that it went up .10 cents at the station in Boca in the corse of a week but I guess that the whole point that the oil supply goes up in the winter months makes sense... just hope that the price drops when it starts to warm up elsewhere...

If it is because of the winter months and demand it sucks that it effects us down here in south florida where we dont exactly have a winter...

Which seems crazy since we haven't lifted the $.54/gallon import tariff on ethanol from Brazil.

If they arent going to subsidize, they need to just even up the market.

I really hope gas prices don't go up as much as they say or I'll be getting a Moped to go around campus lol and last thing I want to see is Chavez handing out oil barrels to those communist countries like they were hot cakes.

^ the power increase is well worht it, if you are really doing it because you want to save money more than making more power then its not a good decision, I did it for the power

In Europe they use a RON octane rating while we use an AKI rating here in the states. 98 in Europe would still be ~93 octane across the pond
