ACtually moto-racer, if you jump off a tall building you get supercar performance (acceleration, top speed) for free using no gas at all! You should try it homo!

^^ Or they could just charge by the liter like they do in Europe.

They could go to 1/2 gallon pricing, which will be good for a few years more, up to $8.00 per gallon. Of course, if it goes that high, we will be riding bicycles.

Why will we need gas in 5 years, the planet will already have exploded by then.

When gas hits $5/gal on July 4th… $10 won’t be but about 5 years away.

I have a friend who has a Ducati moto-racer13, the biggest POS ever.

^^^ You must be an old codger. “I remember when you had to walk to school up hill both ways in the blinding snow and gas cost just a nickel, can you believe that, a nickel”

In the 70s people said that gas prices couldn’t ever pass 99 cents a gallon because of the mechanical limits of the pumps at the time.

Nobody cares about your Ducati or your bank account moto-racer. Your a tool….

I’m probably the only once that looks forward to even higher gas prices, it means less traffic on the roads, and more room for me fly down the road. It only costs me $16 to fill up my Ducati and I got the performance of a half million dollar exotic. Also owning stocks in BP and Royal Dutch Shell helps my bank account.

The horse**** method is good, but the tanks will explode when the next administration takes over.

Personally, I rather use the abundance of horse**** that has resulted from eight years of the current Washington administration.

The pump operators actually don’t make a lot of money.

The problem with small rodents is most are awake only at night so perhaps during the day small children could be used.

when will use crystals to power our cars? or a small nuclear reactor? or how about a few gerbils running in exercise wheels?

Just wait until a gallon costs more than $9.99 and ALL of the signs need to be changed. We still have a few years before the price is that high, well maybe 15 years. Best guess.

No problem, just send Dick Cheney, and George Bush over to replace those outdated pumps!

Wait a bureaucracy understanding a technical problem and working with the company? That can’t be right, but it does make you wonder how dumb the manufacturers were that inflation and supply never impact the price, esp if they are digital display pumps
