WTF is up with gas prices?, How much are you paying? Options

[chosen1]

In Chicago, gas just spiked 20 cents. The cheapest I've seen is $2.45 for reg, $2.55 for super (which is what I put in my car) and $2.65 for premium. And usually, I drive 15 minutes to Indiana and pay 20 cents less, but now it's only 3 cents cheaper. It's not even worth burning the gas to drive there anymore. On top of that, I drive a truck for a living and the price of diesel is $2.65 which makes it almost impossible to make any money so all the employees at my company are going on strike on Monday so that we can get paid more for delivering loads. This is crazy!!! It's only the beginning of spring and prices are getting higher. What's going to happen by mid-summer? I heard in Cali they are already paying close to $3.50.

lol amen..

bah. I say don't complain until our gas prices reach the same level as other countries eg; everywhere in europe.

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

please dont regurgitate something you heard some one else say...lol they base this off pop-economics ... realize that europe has a different economical structure than the united states does. mostly a heavily taxed socialist system. there is reason for the united states to have cheaper gas prices

personally it p!sses me off.. basically china is keeping the Ren artificially low by continuous printing, this helps exporting because other countries can buy thing cheap from there. the problem is that the reason they want exporting to be high is basically because they use slave labor to mass produce whatever.. china is going through a major growth right now though .. its like at 10% last year and ppl on wall street start singing praise when we do 3 or 4 % .. i know it doesnt seem like much but imagine an extra 7% of the whole economy just layin around your house..

oh n gas is 2.20 here
