I got some gas for my dirt bike this morning and it was $3.73 a gallon for 91 octane! Here we come $4.00 per gallon.

I sure hope the damn prices start coming back down, I can handle around 2.8x but damn it sucks being around the $3 mark!


Did we bomb a new 3rd world country and it hasnt made it back to the USA yet?
