I Just Paid 1.96 per gallon

The lowest I remember as a driver was 29.9 cents. A long time ago. I drove a Triumph 6 convertible (red) and I had hair. Long blonde hair.
I was so cool.

Yeah; we were on the GOOD side of $1 a gallon for a long time.

It does not seem like so long ago.

Those were the DAYS my friend;
we thought thay 'd NEVER end . . . .

So is there REALLY anything to this alleged savings
from hybrids splitting hydrogen from water ?

Has anyone on this forum succeeded with this ?

How much ?

I remember, driving from Boston to NYC, when gas was right around a quarter a gallon. I drove a 1957 Pontiac, two-tone mauve and white two door hardtop. I had a crewcut. Very preppie, but we didn't call it preppie. We called it Ivy League. Hippies with long hair were just coming into sight.

I think my wife said she paid $1.76 this afternoon.

This is pretty much a myth . Not that it cant happen but splitting H2 is merely using energy to store energy. H2 is best collected as "town gas" from coal mines. However the infrastructure cots big bucks.

Zippo is just someone who cuts and pastes crap and dum stuff.

I am quite ignorant of internal combustion engines
and modern vehicular propulsion systems,
but last summer, I overheard someone who I deem
to have a respectable mind (and much more life experience
with the mechanics of cars than I do) tell some folks that he gets
40% savings on gasoline by having installed a device
on his pick-up truck that separates hydrogen from oxygen,
running an electric current thru water, then supplements
consumption of gasoline with combustion of the freed-up hydrogen.

I have no idea of the ratio between the energy used in
accomplishing the separation of hydrogen from oxygen,
and the yield of energy which can then be harvested to boost
a car 's propulsion, together with consumption of gasoline.

I expect to see him again next February and inquire about it then.
I was wondering whether anyone else had success with this.

Honey, I have good news and bad news. The good news is, gas is back under $2/gallon. The bad news is, they repoed the car.

Prolly the diff between there and here is the tax. North Carolina has MAJOR gas tax....highest in the southeast.

how about the gas shortage during the 1973 oil embatgo ?
cars waiting around city blocks to get to the pumps - and be restricted to 10 gallons - if there was any left !
i had to attend a meeting in NY city that spring and had planned on driving .
instead i took the greyhound bus - oh what fun it was to spend 12 hours on a bus !

2 weeks ago I paid $1.77 at this station about 10 minutes from my house. Yesterday I paid $1.79 at a station 2 minutes from my house. I will be passing by the 10 minute one tonight so I will update. We have had cheap gas here in CO for several weeks.

they did odd number polaters one day and even the next for awhile...my neighbor and I just switched when necessary.... a guy got shot in sleepy little Greenvbille nc over the pumps closing right before his turn.....good times.

we're at 1.89 right...of course a dollar's only worth $.50

you should be paying what the rest of us in europe pay which is $9 dollars a gallon

no we shouldn't....

Indeed not.

$1.76 in Dallas.

Look what just shouting "Drill Baby Drill" did.

in the 70's it once gave me the clap....

I remember getting it for 17.9 in Lynchburg during gas wars....

Just because the govt tells you that you should be paying that doesn't mean you should agree. Fight back we did and look what happend.

What I find quite interesting is that OPEC said they were going to cut production to have oil prices go up a bit and the only thing that happened was oil went down. Now we are under $2. From the highest prices in several years this summer to the lowest prices in several years this fall. God I love this country and its craziness.

I bet you've stayed away from sailors ever since.
