QUOTE(asg14 @ Apr 7, 2005 - 9:55 PM) Y'all have the nerve to complain???? Go to Europe and come back, then you will post, "Why the F are the gas prices so low?????" [right][snapback]268050[/snapback][/right] I can care less about europe, its completely to different societies, so many things go into price differences because how they are taxed and what not. But the price of oil hasnt raised that much for the prices to shoot up that much. & according to what i read online, my 2.35 for 93 octane is only getting taxed .46 cents per gallon |

as americans we all think it's our god-given right to have cheap oil. |

QUOTE(SinisterWhisper @ Apr 8, 2005 - 4:31 AM) jets don't use high octane oil only prop planes do so they don't need to worry. As for running out of oil yeah eventualy we will but the problem isn't because of china or the war its because the companies that run the oil industry decided to leave their cap the same so they aren't increasing supply as demand goes up. Sorta screwed here because there is nothing to force them to drill for more oil and this way they make more money. [right][snapback]268121[/snapback][/right] Not true at all, if china and india arent consuming more oil then whey would they need to encrease production? And they have been increasing production, just not enough. Sooner or later the market will take care of itself. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor.../markets_oil_dc http://www.economist.com/agenda/displaySto...tory_id=3831358 |

2.25 in Charlotte. I just think it's ironic that the prices just shot up a couple months after the elections. I don't care that much if it's high because of inflation but it's going towards our president's beer fund.
The US owns like half of the middle east so baby Bush could fix it but why do that he's making money. And the culprit is...duh duh duh...Bush |

Oh good. Someone has already done the "you winging fools wouldn't know what expensive fuel was if a tanker load of it ran you over".
I reckon, with maintance, insurance and fuel my car is getting towards a dollar a mile. Admittedly I drive it *hard* but still. I'm paying 35-45 cents a mile in fuel alone. -------------------- JDM ST205
Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000 Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying. |
