It happened again - Gas prices way up

[andy2812]

When will it ever end. Please let's give someone else a chance to fix this. Bush obviously can't do it. Heck, he might not even realize that gas prices keep rising since he never has to take his limo to get filled up.

$2.49 in SoCal, i hear its almost $3 in LA

Remember that prices vary greatly just by neighborhood. For example, the closest gas station to my house sells premium (required in my car) for $2.32/gal. Drive 5 miles and I can get it for $2.15/gal. (edit: both Chevron stations).

Whhaaa. Poor babies. Don't drive watch it plumet. Supply and demand. You don't need a car anyway, you can buy a bike for what I use in gas in a week and might loose that spare tire

Only a Fearless Liar Supporter Neocon could be happy about $2.15 and $2.32.

Gas is $2.75 where I live.

Drive a more efficient car.. live closer in to the city.. do things to reduce gas usage.

Another Fearless Liar Supporter Rich Elitist Neocon happy about high Gas prices. :roll:

How much are you benefitting personally from the high prices???

LOL, Dave! Now even I am a neocon? :laugh:

Some actual neocons here on ATPN might disagree with you on that.

Anyway, I wasn't saying that I was happy about the prices (nor did I even imply it). Just suggesting that they shop around, and hopefully remember to plan their fill-ups so that they buy at the lowest price.

That is all.

You know darn well that's not the American way, must use as much gas as possible and drive big mammoth SUV's that get less gas mileage than the huge cars of the 1970's. :roll:

All well and good but that still won't make the price any lower. Gas is up about 50% in a year. Anyone who says to drive a more efficient car is missing the point that there is a major problem with this huge increase in a short time

Most of the Neo-cons might be acting tough on the board but we all know that they are crying over this gas because most of them are broke and have little money. Yes, I'm speaking for the people on this board.

Not one bit I think. i invest in "social choice" funds with my 403b and I don't think they have oil. My point is GAS is not a nessesity to live, and definity not an entilement for everyone to have.

Everyone today is driving vechiles that get 1970 type gas mileage in SUV's and Trucks. There are twice the people here now and about 4x the vechiles viing for a finite, or at least fixed supply, resource which is driving the price up. Add in the mix developing countires such as China and India it drives up costs further. Either pay or don't, it won't be the end of world but complaining does no good.


Now if we were talking about food and medicine i feel people should be entileled to that being a nessesity for life.

How can you say that gas is not a necessity? Everything you buy comes from oil. Be it airplanes sending you packages or the semi-truck delivering milk and eggs to your grocery store. It doesn't matter if we had a super car with 150 mpg, our expenses will still go up.

Because for at least 5000 years we did'nt use any? It's a convienance, almost free energy, that's all.

Of course not to the Neocons that have no problem paying whatever Gas prices go up to.

We know Neocons would like nothing better than having open roads all to themselves while sucking down the Gas they are the only ones that could afford it.

The rest will just have to slave to the Neocons getting around on bicycles.

Ya it's not fair I have to fly coach, crammed, next to smelly people, long waits at terminal and airport while those "rich eliltist neo-cons" get to fly in a private gulfstream with beds and big screen TV's and no waits...

With apologies to Zebo, this is the only decent argument in the thread. Yes, the rapid increase in prices is of considerable concern, and will have a lot of weight on the economy. We will see.

Dave, you need to put the crack pipe down. Just a couple of months ago you were arguing that you would like to see $5/gal. gas. Now anyone who even so much as accepts the reality of today's gas prices is a neocon? You're losing it...

 

[Zebo]

Gas is STILL super cheap compared to any other source. Maybe electric comes close for cars. But then you have severe mass and distance limitations. Maybe we all just need to accept the fact the "free ride" is over?

You're right, you remember correctly, I'm touched you've been paying attention. :heart:

I would like to actually see $6 gallon prices, that was the price point the Neocons in here said that it may start to get them to cut down on gas consumption and think about dumping their SUV's.

In the meantime that would still take the majority of the rest of the Non-Neocon poor compared to Rich Elitists off the road.

Agreed...furthermore, as I've said before, higher gas prices are really the only impetus that will lead to alternative ways to power cars...

Word. Gas prices need to get higher for the good of the environment/US in the long run. BTW, are you forgetting that oil is a NONRENEWABLE RESOURCE! The price is only going up in the future. At the moment, it's supply and demand but...

You know it's true. They charge more because we pay it. *shrug* oh well. I drive a Honda Civic HX, still fill-up for less than $25. =P

Its a good thing I bike for food, classes, and work

 

[0marTheZealot]

The real cost of gas should be 5-7 dollars a gallon. It's pretty obvious that we as Americans can't limit our consumption until someone forcibly does it for us.

5-7 dollar gas would probably end up HELPING us more than hurting in the long term. For one, all those giant gas guzzlers would probably go out of style.
