Probably the reason for all the firetrucks going by Sat nite.

Gains were also fuelled by news of a fire at Exxon Mobil's 150,000 barrel per day Los Angeles-area refinery in Torrance, California, which forced the closure of a hydrotreater, raising concerns about summer gasoline supplies.

Good thing it didnt happen 2 months ago, they would have gone nuts.

Whew! I was afraid you were going to pick on the firemen, too!

I also read recently that airplane gas is up 60% and some small airline companies have been forced to close. With the summer racing coming up, does anyone know what 100 octane costs lately?

And this is thirdgen related how?

injdinjn · 04-07-2008, 11:57 PM

The first was related to the meeting
Cant say for the rest.

JulieGTA · 04-08-2008, 01:59 AM

I asked what 100 octane costs nowadays, because we run it.

I guess next time I'm sitting in a meeting watching Friday qualifying I'll ask how its thirdgen related.

Kevin91Z · 04-09-2008, 12:25 AM

Sorry Chris, but I had three people report this post as non-thirdgen, and your dad is infamous for his off-topic stuff, so I had to tease him a little.

Julie, no idea on the prices but I would suspect its close to $8 a gallon. It was close to $7 last time I filled up our cans.

So next time something happens while we are standing in the parking lot at our meeting, such as a SUV full of hot looking women drive by honking and waving and I happen to find out were they went, I not gonna post it.
