even if it wasnt about hurricane katrina, gas prices are still going to rise.

It's $6.00 a gallon in Georgia.

Where I am it's $3.00+.

That's right. We're running out of resources!

Damn, six dollars?
I thought three dollars was over the top.
Knowing the state I live in, there are going to be more people walking or taking the bus rather than driving their own cars pretty soon. That's not a bad thing - I'm just making a statement.

EDIT//

Dude, I remember that gas went up about twenty cents yesterday within a few hours here. I walked to school and it was $2.79, so that was about 7:30 or so in the morning. My mom drove by there later in the afternoon at about noon and said it was $2.89. I then walked home from school about three hours later (about 3:45) and it was up to $2.99.

Yeah. /end rambly post

In Dallas, gas prices this time a year ago were 1.30. 6 months ago it was 1.56, it is now 3.09. Its killer. It just went psycho.

they piss me off. v6 accord. it takes like 40 dollars to fill it up.

cheapest around here is like 2.89 but it just recently boost up i think.

No, it didn't. The shipment has been stopped because of the conditions of the harbor.

And it's scary, but I've experienced worse. When I was in Guam a gas container blew up and we had no gas for three days. THAT was scary.

Yeah, on Monday it was $2.56 a gallon(unleaded) and today it just went up to $2.99 a gallon! this is crazy.

Duh, it's crazy. But as Americans we've been very spoiled when it comes to gas and it's abundancy. Maybe now this will serve as a wake up call.

Easy, everyday solutions:

- Mass transit
- Carpool
- Biking
- Walking
- etc.
- Blah...

I'm sorry, but I find it quite annoying the way everyone (not just on cB) is complaining. In Europe gas can be more than $5.00 a gallon...ON A NORMAL DAY. In Hong Kong it costs more than $100 to fill up the tank of a small SUV. Think about that..

But I dont wanna think about that. It hurts my brain...and my pocketbook. I have to admit I was pretty spoiled. I just got my car fixed so I hadnt been driving for over a year. When I first started driving, gas was under 1.00

LMAO, I don't remember the last time gas was less than $1.00. I do, however, remember when it was less than $1.10.

indeed

it costs my dad £60 to fill our tank, without a hurricane. you will be fine

The difference is, in Europe, they have a fairly well-developed mass transit system, especially with trains and buses. In the US, a city might have a bus system or a train/subway system, but it's inconvenient and often times expensive, or even impossible, to take mass transit from one city to another; and if you live in a smaller town, forget mass transit. Walking or riding a bike also isn't effective if you have to go a long distance (say, 10-20 miles).

That's precisely why the US government should be encouraging the development of a mass transit system in the US, instead of giving unnecessary tax breaks to oil companies; and why people should be encouraged to drive fuel-efficient vehicles, hybrid cars, or even electric cars, instead of fuel-inefficient vehicles like SUV's.

Americans do it per gallon, ours is per litre. It's actually up to $1.25 at some places where I am.



People in Europe and HK have much shorter distances to travel, and they have a much better public transit system. People in the Americas drive out of necessity a lot of the time, where a privately owned car in HK is a major luxury

wow. i cant wait to pay for gas.
heh

My city isnt all that big compaired to NYC or LA, but it is pretty good sized. Our mass transit system sucks, all we have is buses, and they dont stop in very many locations. My city is too spread out to walk anywhere, so almost everyone that lives here has to drive.

when i drove past the gas stations on the way to school, it was like $2.75 and when i drove by going home i was up to $3.15

something like that. ican't remember

I was hinting at that. Sorry if it didn't seem like it. Whatever.

the gas stuff is crazy.... even with the "shortage"... gas companies are still making profit.. what's with that?

anyways.. im glad i live in houston... Premium is $3.09 right now.. that's the highest i ever saw it before.. i wonder how high it will go.

Yeah. Mostly cause of Katrina.

I think it is already 6 in some states. I know Georgia is because my aunt lives there and she called my mom to complain

yeah, the prices are around $3.40 here.
my parents make me pay for my own gas, so i'm trying not to drive around as much, and the urge is killing me.

Wth ? That's .. wierd.

I rode the bus today to a friends house today because its too expensive to drive my car...grrrr

Umm. No.
