gas prices are out of freakin' control

[Camaro Dom]

this is just plain stupid. it cost me 45 bucks to fill up my tank.. my mom spent that a few years ago to fill up her goddamn van!
this needs to end... people need to stop speculating on oil, and we need to start bombing another country. :rant:

If you want gas prices to change, you're gonna have to go to Wall St. ;)

Re: gas prices are out of freakin' control

Normally yes, but this time, no.. the price of a barrel of crude oil has been pretty constant the past month or more..

the price fixing bastards of big oil are claiming refinery issues are to blame for all the price increases... in a society where the government feels the need to interject itself into every little facet of its citizen's personal life and freedoms, youd think it would be able to handle an issue that is affecting almost every aspect of our economy.... sad

I know, it's nuts!!

Superunleaded is now $3.99 at some Shell, Chevron, and Mobil stations. I drive a little further down to my gas for my SC bird for 3.85.

Re: gas prices are out of freakin' control

i see it a bit odd that gas stays hovering around $2-2.50 all winter, and once the driving season hits, it skyrockets to almost 4 bucks a gallon... its a little too convenient if you ask me. the oil companies are basically getting away with murder on this one...

arent there laws against price gouging?

Re: gas prices are out of freakin' control

hard to prove and oil companied have lawmakers in their pockets. a simple fact of the republic system

yea, just like how renting beach-side property and booking hotels on the beach is super cheap in the winter months, then it shoots way up in the summer. It's all a conspiracy...the man is tryin to keep us down.


Seriously.
People travel more in the summer.
There's more demand for gas.
Prices go up.

This isn't rocket science, people

Not everybody, at all.

29 MPG is what some people get on Highway miles

Re: gas prices are out of freakin' control

I would be upset if that was my city mileage although its not far off

no. that's how it's suppose to work. there are some laws that prevent the local stations from jacking up prices too much.

the more people use gas and the more they show they are willing to pay $4 a gallon, the less likely we will ever see gas prices drop again.

Gasoline? A "neccessary good"? Way to be the stereotypical American sports car driver. lol @ u. If gas was a "neccessary good," why does the demand for it fluxuate as much as it does? I mean, I was under the impression that if something is a "neccessary good," people would need the same amount all the time.

Anyways, do you not have Public Transit in your area? Cab service? a bike shop? I know of a bunch of people who don't even have their driver's licenses, but still get to and from work and have normal day-to-day routines.
