I don't have any reason to think we'll realistically see extended gas prices of $5 and up in the immediate future...we'll probably get an exaggerated summer bump

Getting hammered with fuel surcharges though at work...really don't wanna have to pass that along to the customer but it's getting crazy

gary88 · 02-26-2011, 06:02 PM

I bet we see $5 in the summer.

BTM · 02-26-2011, 06:06 PM

I think it was bloomberg who forcasted a 10% chance of $4/gallon in 2011...granted that was a month ago but hitting and sustaining $5 is pretty extreme

Also keeping in mind that's a national average...while we do face some of the highest gas prices in the country I think 4.25-4.50 is a reasonable estimate for summer prices

UdubBadger · 02-26-2011, 06:14 PM

like I said, mid $4's in the summer then come Christmas you'll see a few $5 pop up.

BTM · 02-26-2011, 06:17 PM

highest prices of the year are typically summer...if we're gonna hit 5 it'll be then

Brians got my thoughts on it down.

Now I'm tempted to go back and change them all to gay shit but given we are actually having real thoughts I guess there's plenty of future opportunities for that

No...took Al's advice and checked on my fees and by the time I had the funds available it seems too late

Probably for the best.

BTM · 02-26-2011, 06:29 PM

Yea...so that money (wasn't gonna be a large position) has been reallocated for getting my kw's put on and a few other things for the car

ghosthi32 · 02-26-2011, 06:30 PM

they always say that but its late winter and we're about 50-65 cents more than avg this summer.

they always say winters heating costs effect the gas prices. in summer they claim its more travel.

I think it's all BS to just keep jacking up the price.

Seth, all things being equal you are thinking correctly, but they are not equal.

NYCGP · 02-26-2011, 06:48 PM

That tire can certainly be patched. I can't tell exactly how worn it is. But for a 10-15 dollar patch. I would say you are probably better off spending the 10-15 yourself and selling it as a patched tire... If you don't want to go through the trouble you can give it away as is.. I will say this. They warn you not to patch run flat tires. I am not fully sold on it though. Especially when they can cost upwards of $300.00 per tire.

I patched tires on my 335 and I have patched my tires countless times this year for nails and screws.

BTM · 02-26-2011, 06:50 PM

pretty sure patching runflats isn't a huge deal...at least my mechanic says so
