Members Hulston Prickle Posted May 3, 2011 Members Share Posted May 3, 2011 How about people who talk about nothing but the price of gas, ask you how much it is at your local gas station, and then are annoyed that you don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ron Burgandy Posted May 3, 2011 Members Share Posted May 3, 2011 For those of you who are only paying a few extra dollars per week or per month and don't think this is so bad, consider yourselves very lucky. I envy you your gas sipping cars, short, consistent commutes, public transportation and parents/spouses who pay for your necessities. For someone like me who is a contractor I have no choice but to own a truck in order to haul tools, my commute might be 10 miles one day and 50 miles the next and the price to fill my tank has gone from @ $50 to closing in on $100. So paying an extra $20 per month??? Sometimes for me it's an extra $100 or more per WEEK. Adds up really fast and that's a lot less for me to spend elsewhere. And let's not even get started on heating costs or the rising cost of EVERYTHING. Gas and driving, in my part of the country at least, are not luxuries. They are necessities. And these gas prices are KILLING us. When it spiked the last time it started our economic disaster and now it's going to derail whatever recovery hopes we may have. So damn right I'm going to bitch about it. sorry, man. sounds like you're caught in the crossfire. Part of the cost of doing business, which sucks for your bottom line. sorry to hear.

Members uppercasenoises Posted May 3, 2011 Members Share Posted May 3, 2011 The problem with America is that since the end of WW2 our country was built upon the idea that cheap gasoline would last forever. I don't mean the idea of cheap gasoline would last several hundred years, or several thousand years, or even several billion years. I mean FOREVER. The problem with Americans is that so many (possibly even most) of them bought into the above idea - hook, line, and sinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KCTigerChief Posted May 3, 2011 Members Share Posted May 3, 2011 I don't think anyone thought it would last forever. That's an asinine statement considering it's a non-renewable resource. Anyway...The real problem is the government not offering any real alternatives TO gasoline or oil...So auto makers build what is readily available to people. Had the government provided them with an electric grid that would support millions of vehicles, they probably would use electricity powered motors. So yes, I blame the big wigs who are vested into oil companies...maybe even oil companies themselves. Other ideas have been presented, but they always mysteriously disappear.

When it was easier to just tuck your tail between your legs and pretend it's not happening. I respect people who bitch. It's not right. When ExxonMobile starts to feel BAD about the profits they pulled in last quarter, while there is no end in sight for the high price of oil, something isn't right. That means they are selling it WAY above what they are paying for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GAY movement. And they're making progress.

Carter's long term plan for energy independence was fantastic. Unfortunately that was cut short when Reagan was elected. And instead of spending our money on our energy independence, we spent it on bombs, military aircraft, and entire battle fleets of aircraft carriers/destroyers/submarines/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kowalski Posted May 4, 2011 Members Share Posted May 4, 2011 the price of gas makes our starbucks and chipotle cost more too How is it you're the only other person on the internet that understands the price of gas impacts more than just filling your gas tank:cop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So damn right I'm going to bitch about it. +1 I work in concrete and have to drive a huge van to haul all my tools. Couple that with the fact that i drive anywhere from 20 to 150 miles per day and i pay quite a bit more than a couple extra bucks a month. Gas is a necessity and shouldnt be allowed to double in price in less than 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kissmyace Posted May 4, 2011 Members Share Posted May 4, 2011 Yea the price of gas blows...but why do people complain about gas prices? Some of us have to actually go to work and school and wonder how we are going to be able to afford it. If you are in a position to not complain or worry about gas prices, then more power to you. I will always have some stupid {censored} that tells me to buy a more fuel effecient car. That's just bull{censored}. You can't save on gas by making car payments. I mean think about it, you buy a new econobox, make a $300+ payment a month and then you still gotta buy gas for it. Not to mention, collision insurance,new car taxes and on and on...Yea- real smart. All my vehicles are old but I'm not making those god awful payments on them just to say I have something new. Working a job and buying a new car is like "working for a way to work"...very pointless. Damn good post. This is exactly why its truly hurting so many people. Some people have to play the hand they're dealt. You can't just buy another car or move, etc....
