gas prices - WTF?

Domino hit the nail on the head there. The Fed continues to pump money into the economy which is decreasing the value of the dollar. As the value of the dollar goes down the price of oil goes up.

 

Exactly! But tree huggers and demon rats want everyone to think "green" and be vegeterian. Ef that...I'll keep my money, my freedom, and my guns. You keep the change...

 

Actually its not. The US, Mexico and Japan are the only countries that convert at 3.78. The rest of the world uses 4.54.

 

In Norway we pay 10.5$ for a gallon

 

and Schwarzenegger hopped on the "green" bandwagon making it even more business unfriendly while the state of CA wallows in a $ 20 billion dollar deficit! What a disaster.

 

Please stop reminding me how much I paid for gas tonight, and I drive a 4 cylinder Acura too

 

my tank cost $40 to fill and the most it was $50 at the last spike sure glad to have a 4 banger, but at the last spike when I saw a friend fill up a g35 with 100 dollars it scared me into smaller

 

My last work van was a GMC Savana with 118L tank. Our gas hit $1.50L at its peak. Thats $177 to fill it. Every 4-5 days.

 

good excuse to start biking again *nods*

 

Biking? I started walking around more often now, while taking pictures of whatever I find interesting in the process.

 

I started driving a loaner car from work I have 5 I switch between.

 

my friend got tdi and says he gets 43-49 a galon. sucks that honda doesnt have diesel cars here otherwise i would get it. even considering getting tdi jetta since had customer tell me he gets 53mpg on highway(2001 model).

 

im sure salary there is bit higher then in US as well

 

my cousin has a TDI jetta, she went from a suburban lol. Anyway she does get really good MPG, but diesel where we live is no less then regular, but you obviously in this case you get more for your money.

 

Welcome to true capitalism where when someone is making money someone else is losing money.

 

Im LOL'ing reading this thread, come to the UK! to fill up my van (in dollars) it cost $194 (£118) and my car $130 (£80)....you guys in the states get petrol very cheap compaired to here

 

but that's because you have socialism - free healthcare, which we don't need, but the antichrist is pushing it, so every alcoholic will have heathcare for which a working man will be paying...

 

Sounds like you are on their side...j/k...unfortunately it's true...

 

But what about the people who are just not able to afford healthcare, what about them? I agree, people who smoke and want us to pay for their cancer treatments can pound sand, but there are a lot of people who need it and just can't afford it. Like Canada, we give hundreds of millions in foreign aid, and we have people dying in our own back yard. Thats messed up.

 

Wow. It really is truly crazy to see how many of us are suffering. I know there are places in the mainland where gas is still I'm the high $3 range. Reading through this thread shed some light on a few different things.

Hopefully the u.s. gets their crap together soon. Here in Hawaii on the island of Maui gas is $4.99 for 87 octane. Not a pretty site.
