This is so much BULLSHIT! lets think about gas prices for a min ok? This is effecting our ENTIRE LIVES! Not only is the price of gasoline going up but at the same time airlines are forced to raise their prices, trucking companies are forced to raise their prices which effects prices on everything that is shipped. Things like ... food ... clothes ... medicine ... you see what I'm saying? We're getting FUCKED in every single way! The middle east said they were going to drop the price of gas back down to resonable prices 2 MONTHS AGO!!! and how has it changed? It's gone up another $6.20 a barrel!!! I don't understand why in the fucking world we have to change our prices so much over the middle easts gas when it only accounts for less then 15% of all the oil that is used in the united states! over 50% of the oil we use comes from.......... AMERICA!!!!!!!!!! with over 80 million barrells of oil coming out of alaska EVERYDAY. i just don't understand why we have to rely on these fuckers in the middle east... Sorry, but I had to get that out... I just put $30.50 worth of gas in my fucking 96 SONOMA! this is a fucking outrage! |

Speaking of outrage, visit IL! Its, on average, 2.20 for the first level. My beamer usues the 2nd level (premium), and it costs a FUCKLOAD. It costs over 40 dollars to fill my my gas tank. I pay 2.55~ per gallon. OPEC should fucking drop the prices dammit. This is really starting to tap the funds! |

Its hit 2.00 even here, a few cents over. It still costs $40-50 to fill my truck because of the size of my tank. Yup, not fun. |

heh, maybe so... but it takes 3.8 of our Liters (litres looks funny...) to make one U.S. Gallon... I saw something really annoying on the news the other night... gas in Iraq is 9 cents a gallon....  EDIT: so if 99.9 cents Can = 73.6 cents US.... then we're payin... $2.7968/gal (U.S.$/gal)  ouch?

Lol... My dad has a new expedition and it costs $50 every time he fills it and it's in GA. GA guys... lowest prices in America. Glad we don't live in CA where it's Over $3 now lol. And think about the people that said US went to Iraq to get oil... ah what dumb shits. Maybe we should start taking there oil. |

| Didn't we just take control over IRAQ? A country filled with gasoline? Wierd.. |
| Posted By tacoX on 5/26/04 @ 4:59:53 PM |

Considering we just 'took the evil dicator' out of iraq, and such - we should fucking GET SOME MORE GAS from them. OPEC Should lower the fucking gas prices becuase Im spending all my fucking money on it. In my bank account, my savings are : 98$. Fucking christ. I buy a car. I pay for gas. I pay for insurence. I fucking pay for my broken ass transmission. FUCK CARS |

| I only know of one place with the most cost for gas which is mexico. When we went there it was very expensive. |
| Posted By lincolnluxor on 5/27/04 @ 4:01:30 PM |
| really? When I went to Mexico EVERYTHING was cheap as fuck lol |
| Posted By tacoX on 5/27/04 @ 4:12:17 PM |

Everything is usually pretty cheap -- although the Gas is $5.00 per gallon (comparable to US currency). All the gas is controlled by one government company called 'Pumex'. Its kinda communist, considing the min. wadge is $5.50 daily (12 hour day) |

Gas is way to fucking over priced ... and btw never drink the water in Mexico you could get ill =X I dont even have a car and i know gas is over priced... can you imagine that... we just need to steal all of iraq's oil and bring it to america ^^ |
| Posted By LoneSoldier on 5/29/04 @ 3:44:57 AM | ||
heh, do me a fav... when you steal all the gas in Iraq... send a few tankers full north of the 49th... ok? (& if you got ill from water in mexico, you fell victim to "Montezuma's revenge"... ...& no, I don't mean the video games...) |

| Between gas(2/gal here) and insurance (1400 every 6 months just for ME) I'm going to have to work 16/day 7/week to make enough to cover it. |

K_A -- what kind of car do you drive? I only pay 2000$ insurce yearly, and I have a v6 195 HP BMW. Its a coupe -- but still. I use about 20 bucks of gas per week -- it makes me cry. |
| Posted By AutumnTwilight on 5/29/04 @ 11:29:22 AM |
| Ah $20 a week isn't THAT bad. But with other expenses it might be alot. |
| Posted By lincolnluxor on 5/30/04 @ 2:26:06 PM |
| my insurance is $100 every month, but it should drop to about $65 in mid Jun (my last wreck will drop off my record) I only use about $15-20 in gas a week, unless I'm going home to Tennessee, then I'll use 60+ in one weekend |
| Posted By logic on 5/30/04 @ 4:51:31 PM |

It takes $40-50 to fill my truck up per week. Insurance is around 350 for me a month, but i had my dad put it under his name, and i'm still covered as his son even though i'm not on it, so now it's only about $60 a month. |

I thought I was saved from going to my cotage with the gas price so high. But my dad still insisted to go. It doesn't really matter to me, I can't drive anyways. |
| Posted By AutumnTwilight on 6/01/04 @ 7:16:26 PM |
| I drive sometimes (I only have my permit). I filled my moms volvo s60 yesterday and it cost $38 something. Once I get my car my dad says it'll cost $2000 + a year (Insurance)! I told him i'd rather not get a car then, but he insists I need one... |
| Posted By alien-workshop2 on 6/03/04 @ 10:59:10 PM |
| Well i can't drive, but the gas prices are REALLY high, i just use a bike to get around, its fast and easy to use. |

People say that gas is cheaper than it was in the late 70's and early 80'5 with inflation. I still think it's too high thiugh. Not saying that the prices are good by any means. I don't own a car, but over here it costs my dad $60 to fill up his tank. Everyone is going to go poor. 
|
| Posted By lincolnluxor on 6/09/04 @ 2:31:55 PM |

No... gas is NOT cheaper now then it was then... after gas prices broke the $1.92 mark we passed up what it was (with inflation) in 1972 when it was at it's highest. |

Yah that is bad. But maybe people will start walking or biking. Saves the enviorment. I hav heird on the news that people are driving over the boarder just to get gas that has gone to far.

I'm not sure if a month's oldness counts as bumping articles up...Please don't do it. However, sinc eit is up, they were godly high, in Canada, I think there is a new long being placed that the oil companies have to pay a percentage. |
| Posted By vines4life on 7/12/04 @ 9:07:54 PM |
| Whats a new long? Anyway no way they will pay. Law or not. |
| Posted By Morbid on 7/12/04 @ 9:41:05 PM |
| If law yes. Because then what is the point of law. |
