Cameraboy did I miss something? Gas in my state didn't hit $3.00/gallon nor did it average $3.00/gallon in your state or in the United States. See AAA website. Furthermore the bet endend Sept 1st. Finally when it became impossible for you to pay your side of the bet it became null and void.

Facts aside, I can't believe such a kind hearted soul such as yourself would attempt to capitalize on the largest natural disaster this country has ever had.

Unless that Malibu is picking up stranded people in New Orleans you won't ever see one thin dime of mine. Of course you can always volunteer that cottage of yours or part of your house to help out.

Hockeyplayer,

The only reason gas prices shot up temporarily is because of the hurricane. The price increase had/has nothing to do with normal anticipated economic factors which is what the bet was predicated on, not "Acts of God." In Seattle, the price never hit $3.00/gallon.

That is the basis of the comment, without the hurricane, prices would not have increased so dramitically. I sent my money to fill up boats in N.O.

The problem with AAA is that they are not one voice.
Each region has different reports.

Here's what I found on CNN at this time:

ontrider,

Doesn't Canada have more oil than Saudi Arabi? From what I read, we could satisfy all our import requirements for the next 45 years with what Canada plans to export.

ontrider · Ladies Man Joined: 30 Jul 2003 Posts: 16491 City: Russia

lcap, I'm not sure about that... Alberta is the oil rich region, but the prices are higher here because it's taxed more heavily than in the US. I do think in a year or so the stuff will get back to 'normal' prices as you said. I guess around 80cents/L here or so... possibly lower, but who knows eh!?

Here's a cool link for price comparisons - http://www.torontogasprices.com/retail_price_chart.aspx

DunDunDun, every third tank? What is it an A6 4.2 or something?

this probably doesnt conribute to the conversation, but for the cheap gas,today it was 2.05-2.09depending on where you go.
you may continue to argue,i mean,"debate"

pyrocasto · Posted: Sep 05, 2005 11:54 pm Post subject:

lol, try $2.95 here. And that's down from $3.29 cheapest yesterday.

wesgardner · Posted: Sep 06, 2005 4:08 am Post subject:

Ours is all over the board - $3.19 here, just up the street $3.76....the only marina on the Severn ran out I guess on Saturday....I'm sure it's temporary

I hope everyone here in the states realizes we really ought not be complaining when compared to our friends across the sea...

Lcap,

Yea, that's what I thought. You lost. Pay up.

The bet was that gas prices would hit 3 bucks a gallon national average for 87 octane by the end of the summer, which is September 21st.

Pay up.

If disruption of oil supply nullified the bet, that should have been stated as a condition of the bet.
When they took away the star rating, nobody posted that the bet was nullified.

You threw out a bet by your own admission to get someone to shut up. It bit you in the a$$ and you should man up and send the cash.
CB said If he won he would use the the money he saved for that fill up to buy something from the advertisers on this board. He should change his mind and send his winnings to the salvation army.

"It means:

Gasoline will not go over $3.00/gallon this summer, anywhere
Cameraboy can turn the heat up in his cottage and buy the toys as planned.
Everyone can stop the knee jerk panic
I won't be sending Cameraboy and $

And finally it means:

Cameraboy owes me a star for the bet! Pay up"
"oshensurfer,

"It's for the summer and it's for Regular Unleaded."
"Thought it would be an easy way to shut you up. Apparently not, oh wait I forgot you've been elevated to Woodhead status. No winning--just whinning.

Oh did you hear, gas going to hit $4.00/gallon this summer--so says NPR. It has to be true. Laughing Gonna stop buying groceries so I have enough $ to put gas in my car.

Mr. Logical buying into such b.s. Little more thought before flying off the handle please.

I wouldn't have made the bet if I thought there was a snowballs chance in hell I'd have to pay up."
"
Hey now, I know CB has a public but he doesn't need any help...or reminding on this one. And it is US Gas in US Dollars sold at US Gas Stations for US Regular Unleaded."

1. How can an act of god nullify a bet based on the price of a product that has its price set by supply and demand? An act of god can deplete supply, or ramp up demand. This just happened to be an extreme case. This storm has not nullified the contracts regarding the supply of gasoline to distributers.

2. Based on cb's profile, he is from webster, NY.
The closest city with a gas price rating on AAA is rochester, which is at 3.14 per gallon.
All metro areas in new york are over 3.00.

3. Yes, it was not possible for him to pay up had he lost. I guess he will have to content himself with knowing he won on principle.
On the flip side, I beleive that should you have turned out to be right, the people on this board would have come up with an equally demeaning way for him to fulfill his obligation such as an admission of your victory as his personal quote.

lcap, Grow up and admit that you lost. Damn, be a man, not a little girl.

Neognosis · Ladies Man Joined: 13 Jan 2003 Posts: 17617 City: Webster

I assumed that if I lost I would have just come online with you guys and said so and manually given Lcap some stars. No big deal, right?

Ok, I'm done with this. It's been fun. A person's true colors always show eventually.

.85*4 =3.40 cents cdn right?

3.40*.85 = 2.89 per U.S. gallon

my calculator seems to be working. Did you check yours? Rolling Eyes

Broccoli B · Posted: Sep 06, 2005 7:53 am Post subject:

I thought it was 3.8L = 1 Gallon

ontrider · Ladies Man Joined: 30 Jul 2003 Posts: 16491 City: Russia

I thought it was 3.6... but anyway.

Yeah, most people here vote Liberal just to spite Albertans.

Bambamski · Posted: Sep 06, 2005 7:55 am Post subject:

It could be Broccoli quick conversion is 4L to a gallon. I believe a cdn gallon is bigger than a U.S. gallon as well.

ontrider · Ladies Man Joined: 30 Jul 2003 Posts: 16491 City: Russia

Google says - 1 US gallon = 3.7854118 liters
