Gas Prices

Re: Gas Prices

The cost of Oil Barrels are constantly going up. Hopefully we'll solve something soon with Libya.

Think about this. Do we really want the US to get involved in yet another trivial war?

Re: Gas Prices

Agreed. War is pretty much what screwed our economy over in the first place, I'd rather not start more.

Re: Gas Prices

S.A.S suck at fighting and sneaking and stuff

Re: Gas Prices

Gas is pushing 4$ a gallon here, it's gonna suck when I actually start driving, I have no idea how I'm gonna manage enough money to pay for gas all the time, hope my folks will help me out.

Re: Gas Prices

How far on average do each of you drive in an average day anyway?

I work 51 miles away, so that's 102 miles a day if I'm just driving there and back on weekdays, weekends I head to the girlfriends house or to SF so that's up to another 80 miles round trip. Tank of gas strictly going to and from work lasts me 4 days or ~260 miles, 14 gallon tank @ $4.00/gal = $56 every 3.5-4 days.

I guess people should seriously consider going hybrid.

Re: Gas Prices

Could you guys imagine a terrible world where gas was 10 dollars a gallon?

Re: Gas Prices

Yeah gas is getting unbelievable. My dad said back when he was a teenager it cost .50 cents a gallon. Across the street the normal gas is like $3.95 and the premium is like $4.04.

Buying a Chevy Volt when they're available in all 50 states. Or at least the contiguous 48.

I think you're misunderstanding his/her point. The issues in Libya don't necessarily need US attention, and I don't think C@! was saying that; however, they do need to be solved because they are currently the reason behind what is driving up the price of oil.

Truly, I'm not sure why prices have jumped so much. It's not like Libya is a massive oil producing nation. They're lucky to account for 2% of the world's oil production and with what many countries have in reserve (especially the US), they're pretty much a drop in the bucket as far as that goes.

Yes. It's called the UK.

Look at how much gas cost one-six year(s) ago compared to now.

In Houston from July-August 2008 to December 2008-January 2009, gas went from $3.94/gal ($146.43/barrel) to $1.40/gal ($32.00/barrel). Then shot back up after Obama became President. Maybe we shouldn't have a President.
