This is bad news, not only because gas prices are high, but also because people seem WILLING to pay those prices. If the gas companies see drivers willing to pay $3 a gallon, what incentive do they have to lower prices?

What do you expect us to do? We need gas to drive to work so we can make money, no car no money (unless you live in city, walk or use public transportation).

The thing that pisses me off is that they could build cars that run on water and yet we still burn gasoline.

I'm hoping the OP was referring to hydrogyn fuel.

Even if he was, it takes more energy to extract hydrogen and oxygen from water than burning them produces.

Hahaha, people are getting to know me.

 

[thujone]

even better than biking or walking... if i really wanted to... i could kayak/canoe to work.

might try and arrange this sometime soon... but the building i need to go too is a lil farther from the river than i had originally hoped.

?
Am I the only one who caught that?


EDIT: Anyway, heres a tip, if youre heading to Long Island from New England, take a ferry over. Its alot faster that going through the city, and probably a little bit cheaper.

... Hit quote instead of EDIT

 

this is why my next car will be a hybrid. With gas prices continuing to rise, hybrid cars will be more and more viable.

No... He didn't. Not everybody lives in the city. I, for one, have no public transportation options - and walking/biking/whatevering 30 miles each way is undeniably impossible.

Diesel owns hybrids when it comes to gas mileage

I said Unless!!! I personally don't live in the City, i live out in the suburbs where a car is required to get to work since its 32 miles away and i'm sure that is the same situation for others.

Fixed. That is, assuming the manufacturers get up off their asses and realize that people would honestly buy 60MPG diesel cars in the US.

Truth.

Anybody else still consider the price of gasoline a bargain when compaired to other products? Go check out how much it costs to get a gallon of soda, that's where you're getting ripped off. Gas still seems like a bargain to me.

Doesn't seem that way when the memory of only paying $0.88 per gallon is still so fresh in my mind. I find it hard to believe oil production costs have tripled in six years.

Well, relative to what it used to be it's expensive. I'm just saying that if you compare the price of the product and how much you'd think it'd cost to make, versus something like Soda, it seems like a bargain to me.

$2.52 at Costco here in Seattle. Definitly expensive but my Mazda gets decent mileage (32ish). The wifes explorer is the gas hog but she only goes ~2 miles a day to the park and ride so it works (filling up only once a month is nice).

It will drop a little after the summer is over and demand has dropped again, but I don't expect huge decreases.

[CTrain]

It does suck to be paying such higher prices but since the gas hike, never once did my conscience tell me do this or not do this because of gas prices.
I go where I want, when I want....the gas hike hasn't affect my lifestyle one bit.
Oh, of course I drive a Civic

 

[PingSpike]

I floor my car and drive really aggressive, just like back in 2000...an extra $5 a week is gas isn't going to make me drive like an old woman to try and save $3 back.

I don't know what everyone is b|tching about, the cost of pretty much everything has gone up over the past few years...gas is probably the one that hit my wallet the least. Cable TV, groceries, all that stuff has gone up.

You don't buy 15 gallons of milk or soda a week do you? Besides, you can live without soda, but its pretty hard to live without gas (though i suppose it is doable if you really tried)

No, of course not, but you do pay for gas by the gallon and people are complaining about the price by the gallon. Granted, you are complaining because the gallons add up, but I'm saying that overall the price of gas compared to other things doesn't seem so bad to me. Apparently others agree.
