Just a reminder here. You are talking about gas. Save some cash drive less. OK. I am much more concerned about the price of food. I can't even fathom eating less. My electric bill has f'n doubled. **** just costs more. Deal with it....
Haven't had a gas price thread in a while, so...
- Thread starter N8 v2.0
- Start date
Yea, but still. I don't really complain much about the cost of gas for my car (I'm going to drive regardless, so whatever), but when propane prices (that's how I heat my house) double over the course of a summer, that pretty much sucks - I will bitch about that.
did you bike to KT last week?
Turn the heat to 55F in the winter and buy some heavy weight down comforters...........
Or - put in a wood stove, get out in those woods around your pad and start choppin'. Just don't expect to have much time left over to ride.
Yep - that's fine for me, and from time to time I'll be doing just that. But that's pretty hard on young kids.Turn the heat to 55F in the winter and buy some heavy weight down comforters...........

No thanks, I'll save my money for when the gas prices are increased again.
It is not. Hell - it's how I grew up in Michigan. Kids don't care. Sure they might whine occasionally about it being cold, but tell 'em to sack up!
Your wife, however, is another matter altogether.
She won't be there this winter... she's moving out (we're separating) this weekend.Your wife, however, is another matter altogether.
SS deprives his kids of real maple syrup...you think heat is that big of a priority?
that's just means he's a good dad. Log Cabin is the only real syrup.
Damn, dude.
It's not. I like it cold at night.
a gallon a month? sounds like the problem isn't cost; you need some sort of flow orifice/regulating valve on the syrup container.
I'd use real maple syrup if I could afford a gallon a month of the stuff.
do you keep HFCS/'maple' syrup in the freezer along w/ the 3 gallons of milk?
Good to hear! I just filled up for $2.88 yesterday and thought that was good 
I'm sorry to hear this!
Holy crap dude, this w/e.......thats big news
eh - it is what it is. Hopefully it will be better for everyone (especially the kids, which is why we are doing it) in teh long run. Nothing is legal at this point (it's a joint, amicable separation), so if it turns out to be the wrong decision we can rethink things. If it's the right thing, then it's the first step...
SS just needs to down grade from grade A to grade B syrup. We get it in the 175 ml bottle at trader joes for around 5 bucks. 100% canadian goodness.
The worst I've paid is like $3.30 a gallon... I think it cost me $79.50 to fill up my truck's tank.
I was livid, as I drive for work... and while I do get reimbursed for mileage, it rarely makes up for anything other than JUST paying me back for gas.

Hey - my kids like pancakes. And waffles. And french toast. What can I say.
Syrup doesn't need to be refrigerated, n00B.do you keep HFCS/'maple' syrup in the freezer along w/ the 3 gallons of milk?
Ummm........ unless my math is wrong, that's $100/gallon.
You sure those bottles aren't bigger?
Whoops, add a zero at the end. 1.75 L. I was too busy being depressed to do my metric conversion factors correctly.
and now that I think about it, it's probably only a 750 ml container.
SS - you may need to start buting Syrup wholesale in 55 gallon drums. Probably get a sweet price. :biggrin:
Actually, if you have one of those local natural food stores close by, they usually sell syrup pretty cheap. You bring in your own quart jug, and top it off from the gallon containers in the store.

That's still $25/gallon. We'll stick to the "real" stuff on special occasions.
Dude. Only hippies shop there.
Maybe jdschall could go in there and fill my jug.
I will hope for the best situation for all of you. Best wishes!
$2.19 in MA. only a dime more in liberal-land than in the realm of W.
gas is down US$0.33 here!!!
now back into $4.xx/gal!!!!
now back into $4.xx/gal!!!!
i wonder if we are going to get under $2 a gallon?
Haha....Wow, it's almost like a tax cut!
My thifty work commute is 1.2 miles - via bike or footi'm out on my bike.
my thrifty car ways just financed my new camera, which was just delivered.
I go about 10ft from my bed to my office. No vehicle (or pants!) requied.
i'll send you some grade B dark amber syrup.I wonder if I'll get more bacon.
Here we're still around $2.60.
Not to mention right before say some Elections in November.
