Gas prices...again
 

goin up at the wrong time...then again, when is the right time for them to stick it to us...

Bad thing about it is that here in the DC area, we have the 3rd highest gas prices in the country, behind Cali and Hawaii.

I'm wondering why the government can't do something about this. I did hear that if we stopped driving as much, by just a small percentage, that gas prices would go down over time.


In the meantime, I look at 30 dollars barely fill up an economy car's tank.


yikes

3.25 over here for mid grade... shit's retarded

Mid?

In DC it's 3.15 - 3.20 for regular...

So yea...approaching ridiculous

Eh... 'round 2.79 - 3.10 in Florida. In between there, though.

try living in new zealand.
we get third hand oil, for roughly 4US dollers per litre.

but on a better note, A guy here has invented a car that runs off vegetable oil. But hopfully he wont be brought out by oil companys like aguy ten years ago that invented a car that runs off water.
Oil companys brought him out, so legally he cant tell people how or what he used to make it work.

Nz'ers are so wise:)

why are the prices going up in the first place? there's still no explainaintion for that, while the gas industry recorded record earnings in the bilions for last year alone.

Because of the oil lines in the Gulf supposedly. Apparently they are producing about 50% less than what they did before.

I think the prices are just to keep people who are driving to try and not drive as much, cuz if people drove as much as they use to, then we would probably be out of gas again...OR they are taking advantage of us. Probably #2.

O snap

It's official...Gas here in DC is the highest in the nation


It feels like it too...and it seems like the gas doesn't last as long either


YIKES

DID any one hear what the owner of exxon mobile said and i quote

I dont want to hear from them when prices are 10 dollars a gallon or 40 or 50'

I'm glad I make good money.

Yeah, I got gas in Lathrop, Missouri last night, just over a half tank, Regular, at a Shell Gas station, for my '95 Pontiac Bonneville, $24. I think gas here is sitting at $2.77 a gallon.

Fucking rediculous. I live a half hour outside Kansas City, where I go to College and work... it's getting to the point where I have to move to KC to keep from going broke. That's rediculous.

crazy man...gas is basically 3.15 for regular here...I remember when it was 1.69 for regular back in 2001...Then, I thought that was high.

I WISH
WISH gas would go back to ONE ANYTHING!

I remember when gas a dollar.

*sigh* The good ol' days.

yep, i remember the 1.60 days.......here in long beach, it's 3.19, regular!

the reason behind rising gas prices is simply, we don't have enough oil on earth. i mean, get the february issue of macleans and theres an article that talks about how by 2010 gas will be so expensive that 90% of the population wont be able to afford it because its going to be so deep and so expensive to drill. look into it...
