holy crap ..so ...i drive an RSX (a coupe ..btw ..for people who dont know) ..and i usually fuel 89 (the 3rd one at QT) ..but today ...i had to get the 2nd one (86 octane) ..and it came out to be freakin $36.44. ..omggggg
usually a full tank of 89 woulda been $25 goddd WHYYYYYYYyyyy and there were long ass lines in every station i passed by ..haha and my dad said that they're running out cause he owns several Citgos himself :p it suppose to be up to $6 by next week T_T sooooo.. whats your experience/opinion? |

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.. |

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. |
