usually buy from arco there the cheapest in las vegas where the gas is 2.05 all the way to 2.20 depending on the part of town.ill love to do it but 7 11 sells gas rebelstations and such where do they get their gas from thanks for the idea :cool:

Just go to stations that are not exxon or mobile these are the big two but the no brand ones could get there gas from these two big companys but just do what you can and this will work I have it going here on the east coast with quite a few people and i tell who ever i meet to do same gas here is any were from 1.65 to 175 for lowest grade so we are a little cheaper but to make this work the work has to get out to a lot of people, these oil company cant eat the gas they have to sell it to us the poeple or consumer.

I live in Australia and gasoline here which we call petrol is reaching the 1 Aus dollar per litre again. We talk in metric dimensions over here insted of imperial. Thats about $5 Aus dollars a gallon, its outrages. My car runs on Gas, (LPG gas) its only bout 30 cents a litre or $1.50 per gallon. It costs bout 2 grand max to convert ur car to gas but it pays for itself in the long run. Peace :)

So you are not in need of gas from the pump but pass on the other info to people who buy gas its going to get pretty expensive if we the people of this planet let the greedy oil co's get away with this again like they have been bousting the prices up for the last 4 years and we the people are taking it I piety the person making minium wage and most of there money would go for gas or to feed the kids.

At the moment it's about 90cent a litre which works out about 3.40euros a gallon.

around here it's 89cents a litre canadian..

Personally, I think everybody should drive more, hastening the end of global petroleum supplies (which is coming in a few decades anyways) and bringing the whole polluting system of industrialized society to an end quicker, before all the ice in the polar regions melts and floods the world's lowlands and then we nuke ourselves off the face of our deforested, desertified, industrial-waste-filled planet for whatever reason.

Gas prices are high because Bush wants to line his daddy's pockets with money. We need to get Bush out of office. It's the only way.

Um, here in Texas, gas is $2.11. I crap you not.
