crazy gas prices

Eh, well the cheapest I found here is $3.08 a gal. The most expensive is $3.29. Most of the reason around here is because of tax! We are undergoing alot of road reconstruction... I saw gas prices jump from about $2.75 to $3.01 in like 3 days!

Funny thing is, we all rely on gas because without it, transportation would be limited to only the city. Traveling would be like taking the oregon trail and finding the west! Horse and carriage! Lol... scary...

Eh, or we'll all be biking it soon. Lets be a Japan or china! Just go electric and pedal to charge the generator, so we can still have semi-power....

I think most of the reason gas is going up is just because of the fact the oil companies just want to get filthy rich. I think they are going for the darkwing duck approach and swim in their money!

Pepsi..err Pephen...lol...

I kinda agree with you on the inflation of the gas prices. The price of gas has risen with the cost of living. Back in the day,your $50 000 house now costs $250 000. You could buy a brand new Camaro for $4000 off the lot. Now you'd pay $40 000....and only get a V6.

However,oil is a non renewable resource,and sooner or later,hopefully not in our lifetimes,but we will run out one day. Yes,we have the oil fields,and privatization would do us so much good,as we could supply ourselves and the US with tons of oil. Plus,there's oil reserves up in the territories that haven't even been tapped into yet.

But yeah,ever since 9/11,and also whenever there's a big hurricane like Katrina,the prices go up and come down and go up and down and it's freakin retarded. I filled up at 102.7 tonight at a galf tank and it cost me 26.75.

It all boils down in the end,that the oil companies know that we need gas,and they control the supplies of oil,so they could jack prices up to $10/L and we'd still guzzle it because we need it.

god damn rediculous! i don't wanna sound like a hippie but i'd be down for swapping a hybrid engine into the mazda. get some decent MPG... lord knows the mazda doesn't have balls to begin with, so i really wouldn't lose anything. just gotta figure how to wire it.... ha ha. the govt should give tax breaks for energy efficient (or whatever) motor swaps.
