catfish99 Champion Author Wilmington Posts:13,945 Points:2,492,525 Joined:Sep 2005	Message Posted: Apr 13, 2013 7:03:11 AM Ignore catfish99 Report Abuse I got all excited when I saw "Gas War in Montreal" at the top of the topics lists. Sadly, it was just a bump of 2012's post, not a new PETROL ARMY being formed.

maxstar Champion Author Chicago Posts:18,459 Points:805,545 Joined:Feb 2011	Message Posted: Feb 26, 2013 12:19:07 PM Ignore maxstar Report Abuse GGG's homesite was actually GasBuddy, same as Nickeybasenji The Chicago region has its share of goofy posts. My point is that it is by no means unique to the Chicago region.

That said, from some minute details in his posts, I never thought GGG was actually from Chicago. I did feel that GGG had multiple accounts on the Chicago site and possibly other GB sites as well. I just felt it an odd coincidence that these types of abusers/trolls chose the Chicago site to sign up, that's all. It's almost as if the Chicago site was targeted for some reason. Then there's that land to the north of Illinois that I shall not name that Trixie always gets a kick out of. There are some real loony posts that come out of those sites.

But for pure entertainment value, I don't think you can get much better than Gas Genius Guy. For some reason, the Chicago site seems to bring out the real nutters.

Mikeyl Champion Author Cleveland Posts:5,147 Points:1,182,445 Joined:Aug 2004	Message Posted: Feb 19, 2013 8:17:26 AM Ignore Mikeyl Report Abuse The "high energy" guys were fun. I miss them, too. But, perhaps, GasBuddy has enlightened them to a higher plane of motoring existence. They have learned that boycotting will never work. They know that the only way to reduce gas prices is to reduce usage (but, then the oil producing nations cut output to compensate at some point to maintain their price margins). Some walk, some bike. Others carpool or take public transportation. Some work from home. We're all growing and changing with the times. We know that we're all in this together and we all need to come up with the solution together.
