    Gas prices what a joke
    « on: May 14, 2006 - 04:22:17 PM »
    I was going to fill up my diesel pickup today and since i live very rural and prices are high at the local gas station,I called a station I will be going by tomarrow just to see how muck higher the local station is(Since its over a hundred bucks to fill up my truck).They told me california state law says they cant quote gas prices over the phone,what a freaken joke that oil companies have that much power.SHEEEEEEEESH the idea pisses me off you cant even shop prices when filling up???

    I believe NZ said it as equal . . one US dollar = one NZ dollar!     :grinyes:


    Update:  One American Dollar to One New Zealand Dollar =     1.58881 NZD

    Yip, 4C has it right......exchange rate doesn't mean too much when we are in our own countries.
    Only when buying, importing, trading etc does it play a part as we deal with each others currency.

    Think it worked out at like 6.30 a gallon so said another Kiwi on this board.
    See, now THAT'S something to cry about!  :lol: For reference Trading, 1 NZD = 63c US.

    The oil companies got us by the short ones dont they. We pay or we walk, its that simple. So i guess we cant stress to much about what we dont control.  :dunno:

    you know at one time there was a monopoly on gas by Standard oil in this country.
    Monopoly does not = free enterprise so they were broke up by the Government.
    60 years goes by and everything is cool.
    Then a few years back you start hearing about all these oil company mergers....
    and we're right back where we started.

    We should be drillin' up in Barry's backyard :naughty:
