gas prices



I can't drive my car anymore.

Time to sell the damn thing.

Gasoline is way too expensive.

$3.44 right there,
for a gallon
10c a mile?

Re: gas prices

I agree gasoline is too expensive. I saw it today as low as $2.859 and as high as $3.029 in Worcester, MA.

Re: gas prices

They will spike for summer time.
People will pay it.
It is a common gripe...

"so, how 'bout dem' gas prices?"
What can you do?
Blame it on the War, blame it on supply/demand...

Feel bad for those Motorhome travellers when they pull up to a Chevron with their Good Sam stickers
S'about $3.15 here

Fill er' up,

Re: gas prices

Fortunately, once the weathers nice here, during High Gas Price Season, people can get off their arses and ride a bike, walk, rollerblade, commute, and conserve...or whatever.

What a gas-waste Americans can be sometimes....

Or like Orby suggested, you can just drop your keys in the fishbowl.

Re: gas prices

They are far to high here aswell, currently some argument about dropping the $AU.35 tax on petrol, that may bring it back to a dollar a litre

Over here we've been hovering around €5 a US gallon (which was around US$6 and rising lately), if that's any consolation to you.

Even before it was quite like this, I've long been doing little distance with my old garbage can, it get's me to the railway station!!!

Re: gas prices

Gas prices are cheap they will be cheap until they reach the price someone will push your car for 20 miles. Ask someone to push your car for 20 miles for 10 bucks? You wont find anyone. You wont find anyone to do it for a mile or even a block. Gas is a bargain if you really think of what all they have to do to get it to you. They have to find oil, then they have to pump it out of the ground. ON top of that they have to refine it, ship it over thousands and thousands of miles and alot of times over sea. I dont know enough about how it gets here but its alot and it is still very very very cheap for what all they have to do to get gas at your local gas station for you to pay 2.90 a gallon. I read that logic on aother forum, what do you all think?
