Damn, just paid $4.08 for premium

[baseline bum]

Having been in a motorcycle wreck I can attest that motorcycles are great right up to that last second when they aren't.

Won't get me near one. Seems like half the people I know who ride have been almost killed on them. Luckily no one that actually died though.

$4.08 is what I paid yesterday for regular here in central WA.

You can always make your own gas. I think it cost around 1500 for a still and after all is said and done you save about a dollar a gallon. God bless.

Is there a problem here? I pull 10,000# trailers and can't do that with a ing Prius. It has a performance chip in it and it has to have premium or it pings.

Replace the board? Get a diesel?

I get that it sucks but its $8/g over in England right now.

Here is a good site for international gas prices

You can see that we pay half of what most other developed countries do. China has better prices than us but they nationalize their energy industry. Gas very close to free in Venezuela. Same thing there. If your a country with a low population and oil reserves then you win the prize too.

I love riding a bike, but really never did of the street. I always worried about the idiots who the state is willing to give licenses to. Did a lot of trail riding, and through the woods though.

China does indeed subsidize their gasoline. That is part of why they are getting so many new cars on the road.

Funny thing is that they would pay through the nose, just like we would, if Iran closed the Straits of Hormuz.

I would imagine the Chinese made that crystal clear to the Iranian leadership at some point.

China has, for a long time walked a line of trying to stay above the fray, but their dependence on oil is going to drag them into this, just like US.

Gotta love that. Welcome to the world stage, assholes. Now help us figure out what to do with these nutjobs.

Worry about the rapidly aging population.

They have little situational awareness, fading eyesight, and slow reflexes.

Robot cars can't get here fast enough, IMO.

.....did I miss the GOP bill to regulate oil speculation or something?

I don't see how someone that makes $8-$10 an hour and needs a car to get to work, etc. is gonna be able to do it.

I'm sure they'll figure out a way to get by. The last time gas prices were this high they managed to "do it" by defaulting on their debts. Maybe they'll go that route again.
