Little old Honda Rebel would be perfect to get my ass to work all summer.
Edit// I haven't been around bikes in 30 plus years. Any suggestions on something like a used Rebel would certainly help me.

Yeah I have a year old Ford F-250, crew cab, long box, with the 7.3 gas engine in it, for a company truck. Tons of power, but it sucks a lot of gas. I filled that thing up yesterday and the pump automatically shut off at $150. Thank God it's on the company credit card. My truck is a Chevy crew cab long box with a Duramax diesel. It's got a full tank that I filled up long before the gas prices went nuts. Thankfully I don't drive that truck much, other than to haul around my toys to the mountains. Can't wait to fill that thing up when I run it dry. ![]()

On, how can this happen. They likely didn't put more gas in the tanks during those couple of hours.

$4.25/gallon national average.

Replacement cost/pricing is what I understand. The price we pay at the pump mostly consists of what the station or company thinks the next shipment will cost them.

That's what a friend of mine that used to manage a few gas stations told me.

Some potentially good news, but probably temporary. Crude is $117/barrel right now, down 5%

Thanks. Well that's bullshit.
You pay X per gallon of fuel and yes you do deserve a markup of some sort in order to make money. But that fuel in that tank was still paid for by X, not what "you expect to be next time". That's price gouging. Monday I paid 3.59 per gallon of unleaded. Yesterday was 3.79, today its 3.89. That's bullshit.

You're missing my point, or most likely ignoring it for your own benefit, as usual.

No, I'm not. How is it gouging if they base their pricing on replacement cost (and I believe they do) and gasoline is going through the roof because of crude going through the roof?

My only question is, does the price drop in the same manner? So, the minute that crude drops (like today) we should see a pump price drop too, right?

From below. I paid 3.59. Who knows what it was when they purchased it and put it in. But say it was whatever and they based it off of 3.59 for their margin of profit. They raised it to what it is today, 3.89. They're making 30 cents more a gallon than their original profit margin. Is it fair to be charging 4.59 by the time they need to fill the tanks again? No. That's price gouging on the base price they paid originally.
