$4.00. (That's how high.)
i have a 350 cubic inch 5.7 liter V8
i am enraged
my chode has exploded and my driving habits changed at $1.80
how high do gas prices have to get before peoples chodes explode?
or before it changes peoples driving habits?
$4.00. (That's how high.)
I've always bought vehicles with good gas mileage.
Yep. That's the secret.
works for me.
youre still spending much much much more on gas now
I'm amazed at how much Americans get their panties in a wad over gas prices. A 25 cent change per gallon amounts to about 5 bucks' difference per fill up. If you're having to fill up enough for that to break your bank, I would suggest trying public transportation or relocation.
dam man you must be doing alright financially, as your post so smoothly let us know
and its not a 25 cent increase, it's a load more
its basic economics, if any other bill was increasing 40% a year would you still scoff
if you dont give a , then,
like i said
how high does it have to get?
When people spend more on gas they spend less on other things. Those in sales are the first to feel the real effects of higher gas prices, but soon price creep starts effecting the costs of production and transportation of retailers for durable and non-durable goods, and it won't be just gas that we will all be paying more - its inflationary.
I'm still three years out of college and my salary is about what you'd expect from someone with a Bachelors in Advertising. So I wouldn't say I'm retiring anytime soon.dam man you must be doing alright financially, as your post so smoothly let us know
And it's not that I don't give a , I just don't think it's the national crisis it's made out to be. Mainly because, unlike other bills that may increase, you have alternatives like public transportation, carpooling riding a bike, etc. I realize those options aren't realistic for everybody, but I also realize that one of those options would probably be realistic for most people, many of the people who complain the loudest about gas prices.
gas barely has gone up if you take inflation into account...
You're insane. Gas has doubled in the past couple of years, inflation hasn't done that.
Look at long term. Like before you were born. Gas prices are in line. Its just jumped heavily in the last couple years.
Anyway you slice it, though...these gas prices make me very glad I no longer work in New Braunfels and have that commute everyday.
And about $160/mo in gas for that kind of commute (as it would have been for me right now) is quite a bite in most normal people's budget, when now I'm at about $70/mo.
eehhh
i usually just buy regular unleaded
and i've only been driving for 6 or 7 years
That chart could easily feed US-Involvement-in-9/11 conspiracy theorists...
While no one likes increases, Spurminator puts it into perspective! Quit driving so much and you won't feel the pain so much. It's okay to tax smokers out of existance but not hold the general population's feet to the fire? Maybe you will finally feel what the smokers feel.....Injustice!
Hey man, I'm all for taxing gas use more. Something has to pay for the military presence in the gulf that is a direct result of the dependency on oil. The chances of that happening? Well, I have a better chance of winning the lotto.
all i know is when i was a teenager i could use 7 bucks of gas for like 2 weeks in my 1999 Mercury Tracer Sport
now 7 bucks makes my chode explode
I don't know what it is...but...
when gas prices rise
it costs more money!
What if you have no choice but to drive a lot. Maybe driving a lot is your job. As a consultant, I drive from client to client and can spend $600 on gas a month. Is it ok to tax me and millions of other people out of a job?
That's because you arent smart.Hey man, I'm all for taxing gas use more. Something has to pay for the military presence in the gulf that is a direct result of the dependency on oil. The chances of that happening? Well, I have a better chance of winning the lotto.
Show me a direct correlation between military presence and oil dependance.
The military has no bearing on us being dependant on oil - we are dependant because everyone has a car - some people multiple cars. This website is basically devoted to a group of men who exemplify that excess.
i couldnt have said it better myself
and mannys pretty sharp 2pac
i remember living in california in 1995 and paying 1.50-1.60.. 10 years later paying 2.10 is not that bad...
i remember 88 cents during the 1997 summer price wars on Bandera, in SAN ANTONIO TX
