holy crap...it was that cheap back then? oh, doh...you live in texas. it's always atleast 2.50 here.

edit // btw, i think the last thing on peoples' mind right now is the price of gas...

It's $2.89. This is really pissing my parents off.

Jeezus, we own Iraq now, Bush saw to that (note the sarcasm)... pump us some frickin oil from over there! What else are our troops dying for? Certainly not for us to suffer over here.

Releasing oil reserves might not matter a whole lot. The prices aren't due to a lack of oil. We have plenty of oil. The capacity to refine the oil into gasoline is down, though.

oil reserves don't last that long, prices will comeback up again

and it takes weeks for the refinary's in Florida to rebuild, and second, INSPECTED to ensure saftey.

It was around 6 bucks here (around ATL, GA) for a day or so. Now it's between 3-4:stubborn: My grandparents (whom I live with) have a van & whenever they get gas, the pump stops at $60 dollars & that doesn't even give us a full tank!! And that was when gas was around 2.80. Luckily, they filled the tanks of both vans like, an hour before the price jumped three more bucks.
AND it's rumoured that we're going to completly run out of gas around here, so there've been lines of cars going out into the street from people trying to get gas before that supposedly happens. And because of that, gas stations are actually running out FASTER. Most of them won't get more gas until Monday/Tuesday.

Alright, I'm done ranting now...

I suggest investing in hybrids. Seriously.

It is estimated that by 2029, countries will be fighting over the very last barrel of oil.

Its amazing how you people blame Bush for the lack of oil in the world. The real main reason why its getting expensive is because its being used up.

Honestly. What the f**k. Did Bush killed the dinosaurs too?

Ariel, some people even blame Bush on the hurricane. How cuh ray jee.


But gas here is like 2.76ish.

That was one of the most ignorant things I've heard in a while. Don't talk about things you don't know about.


Yeah, um, I live around Atlanta, Georgia..and I haven't seen gas prices that high yet. I think you're overreacting.

where in atlanta? i've heard people say it was $8, but i don't know where they get gas, because that's nuts. it's in the low 3's (although the one station by school i can see best is probably wrong- it's been on #3.15 for an awful long while now

prices at my local station (aug 29 - sept 1)

Monday
$2.39
Tuesday
$2.45
Wednesday
$2.79
Thursday
$2.99!!!!

im thinking of going to get a truck that runs on diesel and steal gas from unsuspecting truckers

people are actually stealing gas out of other peoples cars here now...3 freakin dollars...jesus

^ people love exageration.

it's hit 2.99 here.

i think we'll top out at 3.50

when the stations run out of gas, and have to shell out extra to buy gas, that's when we'll see the increase

so next week it will get worse.

i think its 1 out of 1,500 or so fill-ups at gas stations are thefts

it's almost 4 here, i believe.

my mom and i stopped at the gas station on the way home from the grocery store and we couldn't get gas because they ran out of regular! it's INSANE. tomorrow we have to travel far for a family reunion and i dont even know if we're going since there's no gas.

You are a f**king idiot. First, we don't own Iraq. The people know perfectly well that we're trying to help, and if they think we're trying to take over, they would definitely rebel. The only people who are attacking soldiers now are Islamic extremists and anti-Americans. Also, the flow of oil from Iraq is doing fine.

And, holy crap. The troops are 'dying' for our protection, not for oil. If we wanted to take control for oil, why didn't we go for Kuwait or Saudi Arabia? It was plainly visible that Iraq had its eyes on America. It would have happened one day, but it was prevented.


Oh, by the way, this is also largely OPEC's (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Nations) fault. They caught that people will pay a lot for oil, and therefore, they raised the prices. Saudi Arabia also recently decided to raise their prices. The price of gas will continue to go up until the country threatens to stop transactions with OPEC. I believe that at this point, OPEC will be forced to lower prices or lose their large profit.

However, I don't think the US will be able to risk that much for a while.

Its between $2.99 and and $3.15 here.

when i went to sf
before the hurricane(like june or may)
the price was 6.15

you're not going to believe this....my mom had to use premium gas today since there's no regular left...and it came out to $80 to fill 3/4s of the tank! (we have a ford excursion and are traveling to a family reunion tomorrow)....omg it's crazy.

^

5 bucks a gallon, 20 gallon tank= 100 bucks.

yup, gas bills are going to top triple digits.

It costs my dad over $80 to fill up the tank in his van every time he needs to, and since he travels around the country for work.. He almost spends more money than he makes.


Pure bullshit.

over here in MO is like 3.19 per gallon it jump like 20 to 30 cents in the past day crazy shit!


.:tony:.

$50 to fill up a little more than 2/3 of my Jeep. where am i going to get the money for the last textbook i have to buy for school... *sigh*

So update, gas here is now 1.40$ per litre, which is roughly 5$-5.50 per gallon....who should be complaining noww??
