stevestojan Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Gas in Saudi Arabia is like what, 12 cents a gallon? Life in Saudi Arabia is like what, awful? My fiance likes to be able to speak and think for herself. But hell, for gas that cheap, maybe she'll change her mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeFerguson Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Gas prices are going to keep rising continuously. Do I find it worth my time to complain as if I'm the only one suffering? No. If people would re-focus their energy from complaining to problem solving the world would be a much better place. It would also be a lot less whiny of a place.

SilverNRed Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yeah...life isn't worth living if we have to pay as much for gas as Europeans have for decades. But life is HARD when there are people with more money than you and the government won't punish them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I do not drive a big gas guzzler either...a toyota Yaris. But with the costs of everything going up lately I cannot help but feel like I am being strung up by my toes. I am just curious....how much does it take to fill up your tank? Mine is about 30.00 for the Yaris tank.... $3.72/ gal. Not bad. About 5 cents/gal cheaper than the cheapest place here and about 15-18 cents cheaper than most places. Was in South SF two weeks ago- $3.98/gal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erynthered Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Seriously, I'm depressed too. I'm going to break out my "I'd rather be in Myanmar" t-shirt today. Its only .60 cents a gallon in Myanmar. Time to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Really??? I'm no where near the top 10%, much less 1%, but $4/gallon gas is not affecting my life really at all. Would I prefer $2/gallon gas? Yeah, I would. But I would also prefer that rain was made from beer and my dog could talk. You don't always get what you want, but its an awesome time to be alive. I feel bad for anyone who thinks times suck because gas prices are moving up. you guys are being ridiculous. that statement had more to do with the fact that Oil companies are setting RECORD PROFITS right now. there is NO NEED for gas to be this expensive other than the fact they know we're addicted to it. again, how are you reading that my view is "it's a bad time to be alive"? its just BETTER for that 1%. criminey pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Wow this thread sucks I nominate LA and KD for the "ummmm where the fck did that come from?" award and Joe for the "I quit cigarettes cold turkey and never complain about anything either" award. Keep up the good work fellas! And I nominate you for the "whiney B word of the thread" award (hardly new territory for you). I feel so bad that you bought a gas guzzler and now have to pay $70 to fill it up. If you don't like it, feel free to take the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yeah...life isn't worth living if we have to pay as much for gas as Europeans have for decades. Boy am I tired of hearing about that. You know what else the Europeans have had for decades that we don't have? A decent mass transit system throughout the continent. If I COULD commute on a train to work believe me I would.

Fan in San Diego Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I have 23 gallon tank in my H3. So if it's running on fumes empty, around $92 to filler up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 there is NO NEED for gas to be this expensive other than the fact they know we're addicted to it. And you're basing that statement on...what, exactly? The fact that oil companies make money? Christ, you people act as if no one else on the planet uses oil. You want the price to drop? Nuke China. Then we won't have to compete with them for the oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, you people act as if no one else on the planet uses oil. You want the price to drop? Nuke China. Then we won't have to compete with them for the oil. The fact that our dollar is in the tank and we felt the need to invade the middle east has a hell of a lot more to do with it than the Chinese, although they are becoming an increasingly large factor.

GoodBye Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Not an option Seriously, the explorer is 12 years old, I ain't buying a new car just to get a little better gas milage. Yukon bought when gas about $2.00, again ain't selling cause it only gets 18/hwy. Crimminy, if you saw $4.00/gallon gas coming 18 months ago, you should be a wealthy man bout now Exactly. I haven't done the calculations yet, but the car payments for the new car may be more than what you are paying for gas for the old one anyway. I've been considering it too cause I have a 12 yr old Corolla but I still get pretty good gas mileage with it so I don't see a reason to get a new car just now.

SilverNRed Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 there is NO NEED for gas to be this expensive other than the fact they know we're addicted to it. Yeah, other than the worldwide demand for oil rapidly increasing. But aside from that, there's "no reason." So you think the evil oil companies just noticed a couple years ago that people need gasoline so they decided to jack the price up and double their profits?

X. Benedict Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Thank your State and Federal Democrats for stopping the tapping of US oil resources so they can garner their environmental whack-o votes. Nancy Pelosi in her grand pronouncements about her "New Congress" claimed they were going to solve energy woes IIRC. Ask her about how the plan is going. Ask her about fixing Social Security, while you're at it. Meanwhile, The Chinese are proceeding with plans to help Cuba grab off-shore oil. http://money.cnn.com/2006/05/09/news/econo..._cuba/index.htm Pay with Pride! Or you can more appropriately thank President G.H.W.B for the Outer Continental Shelf Leasing Deferral, and his son G.W.B. for renewing it. Florida votes matter. (and you can thank Jeb Bush and Mel Martinez for helping deliver it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
