Here is a chart of realtime unleaded gas prices.......this is the BASIC PRICE without taxes and so forth added...your local price will take time to adjust to this price:

Here is a chart showing what unleaded gas prices typically do in an AVERAGE year:

So what are prices going to do the rest of this year? Probably start to go down after the current holidays are over (sometime in June?) but they aren't expected to reach the previous low levels.

A lot of people (futures traders & oil business tycoons) think that because of greater demand from China and other countries....oil prices will continue to trend upwards...GENERALLY. Meaning that we'll never see the older low range in prices again?

But trying to predict the future is always fraught with hazards.......mainly that of being wrong. :unsure:


What should a Tercel driver do?

Let's get busy and tune up our Tercels and clean those EGRs!

<span style='color:blue'>And it's best that we start driving like grannies.</span>

So go buy some tennies and learn to knit...posthaste..... Also a good idea to talk in a high cracked voice so you start to <span style='color:blue'>feel</span> like a granny...and then maybe you won't fall back into the old drag racing habits.

Note: The above recommendations are to be followed at your own risk...if your neigbbors and family seem to think you are getting strange...just pay them no mind....you are doing your part to solve the energy problem. So gentlemen...START OUT YOUR KNITTING! :blink:

Forget about that dinosaur fueled 3A-C engine. Think alternative fuel- hydrogen, CNG, etc... I know we can do something with the Tercel like this.
