662623 2008-04-25 22:29:00 It's getting pretty bad here...we are paying $1.03/L (NZD/Litre or about $3.90USD/US gallon) right now...and the pre-Summer/vacation season is just starting when they rake us over worse than normal.

How's it going there?

662625 2008-04-25 22:36:00 The last time i looked, we were at almost $2/L..... although most of price is in tax... a@#H&^#$ password (5384)
662626 2008-04-25 22:52:00 We used to be at $1 . 30/Gallon or about $0 . 44NZD/Litre .

I burn 75+ US Gallons (283+L) a week of 87 R+M/2 octane .

In USD that is: $295 . 00/week and in NZD that equals about: $378 . 38 .

THAT hurts! No matter what dollar or container youse guys use .

662627 2008-04-25 23:18:00 I remember when I first filled up my Suzuki 50 back in 1966 it cost me 39 shillings a gallon. Yes our currency was Pounds Shillings and Pence until the 10th of July 1967.

My 1986 K5 Chevy Blazer (full-sized)

I need to have it to haul all my tools and supplies for my hobbies of "helping" out contractor friends and to get a little physical activity that my doctor ordered .

But today . . . I went fishing in a local lake! No fish to report . . but it was good anyway .

Ya gotta remember that almost everything in the US is miles and miles away from where we live . Travel and gasoline as so entrenched into our lives that any little burp of a price increase really hurts .
