What the hell happened to the price gas?!
 

It is up $1 per gallon where I live...

Three things that I really hate:

1) **** YOU potholes. I hope you burn in hell.
2) **** YOU oil companies and your billions and upon billions of profit every year.
3) **** YOU ummm..., oh what the hell, CABIN NOISE!

PS: I reall don't care about cabin noise. But I am dead serious about the first two.

At least you're not in Europe.

Here are a few things I hate:

1) People that bitch about gas prices, how is that going to help anything?
2) People that buy gas eating sports cars and then bitch about gas prices.

Are you really Samuel L. Jackson and not telling us???? Lmao!

YES THEY DESERVE TO DIE!!! AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!
:icon18:

Seriously though... I couldn't agree more.

.... from the country that gave us the Hummer.... lol

Buy a prius...the arab world is in turmoil and a lot of oil comes from the region. Once that settles down, so will the prices.

Slabadoo! If you don't like oil prices and the obscene profits oil companies earn, then buy stock in oil companies! It is a great way to hedge yourself against increases in oil prices.

So damn true!
In Germany 1 liter premium fuel (european models must use 98 octane only) costs € 1,61 at the moment.
That's $ 2,24 for 1 liter, respectively $ 8,48 for a gallon.

So come on, stop that whining poor Americans! ;)

European countries impose a much higher tax on gas than the US (something like 6 times as much). It has been very effective in limiting consumption, and increasing sales of small cars (and their small cars have even better economy/less power than our versions here).

Americans have short memories. When gas was high about 3 years ago people complained bitterly, sold their SUVs and kept bugging me at the pump asking me how many MPGs my MINI Cooper got. As soon as prices dropped, well hello Escalade!

Now on to potholes: They should indeed burn in Hell. Then magically fill themselves.

:rofl2: @ bold part and not knowing things.

The potholes are a freaking nightmare at the moment, I can't even drive my car for fear of destroying the suspension while dipping into the craters.

As for the gas prices, I'm willing to accept the price going up if it means less ugly SUV's on the road. Oh and this summer I'll be towing my car behind a Chevy 2500HD getting about 10 mpg and paying $100 a fill up. <insert face palm here>

higher gas prices = open highways ^_______^

:bowrofl::inoutroflpuke::icon18::bowrofl:

meh, some big truck/SUV drivers actually have a need for the size of their vehicles. But they're usually willing to take the higher gas prices, as they have no other choice.

I'd rather see trendy SUV's than the ugly Prii and Smart Fortwo's, though.

Well i said yesterday in a previous post, get ready for higher prices. All the major banks and investment firms have increased their exposure/investments in oil for this summer, hinting at 2008 gas prices or higher. Here is the article
Analysts expect oil to top 2008 levels | Reuters

yeah, but at least you can see past a prius or a smart car in traffic x.x i think i'm usually pretty close to the guy infront of me... especially if he is a she and she can't find the gas pedal

So don't follow so closely? :confused:

if your gas went up a dollar in the past few weeks, then you should be happy because you're probably in one of those states that has pretty low gasoline taxes. I've been paying 3.55+ a gallon for 93 for months. now its at 3.91 in NY

Lets also be glad that we can alter our driving habits, SUVs get awful mileage no matter what, we can throw it in 6th gear and cruise and maybe get 26-27 miles to the gallon the highway. Then when gas goes down its pedal to the medal again ( yes i am American and this is the way i think ).

26/27 i think may be a bit unrealistic, but i agree. After using the gas cubby app for almost a year, i've come to the conclusion that no matter how i drive (Which tends to be half highway/half local, with a fair amount of spirited driving on a daily basis, i get 19 mpg, which is acceptable. i could shift at like 2.5k and always use cruise control and maybe i'll get a few more MPG, but i dont think its worth the hassle and not enjoying the car.

as far as SUV's being used for other purposes besides transport, that's a valid point. however, i rarely see an SUV with more than 1 person in it, and its usually a mom driving somewhere.

Pot holes definitely need to burn in hell. There used to be 3 on like a 1/2 mile stretch of road near my school that I would have to swerve around everyday. I remember one time I was going around one and some old lady on the sidewalk thought I was gonna hit her :rofl2:

I drive like 70-80 % on the highway and average like 21-24 mpg per tank depending on how I drive. My commute is usually filled with traffic and speed cameras so there's not much time for spirited driving. Just on the highway alone, I was getting almost 30 mpg on my was home from PA when I bought the car. It was 150 miles and pretty much all highway and I stayed in the 60-70 mph range the whole time. I have the 7AT, btw, and I think it gets a little better gas mileage than the 6MT.

Really? You are so awesome man not caring paying high gas prices! Good for you!

I hope you are aware that the only reason our gas prices are so low is because of all the subsidies/incentives that are given to oil companies from the US. I believe that gas would be approximately $15 per gallon if those subsidies/incentives were removed.

Cheap gas is not a right

:iagree:

Im beginning to think the orange barrel should be on the GA flag. Welcome the Orange Barrel state!

i guess im glad i saved up my gas money while my cars were hibernating... :icon14:

i need to do a test run in my pos dd on the roads i usually take on my weekend drives to look for potholes...

Great, so will you be making a donation to the oil companies for allowing us to have such cheap gas?

OK, then we'll whine about the price of German beer. :usa:

im at 3.77 for 93 in Qnz

Some people who complain about gas prices are the same ones that spend 5 dollars at Starbucks for a cup of coffee.

What? I only spend like $4 on a cup at Starbizzle.

but you drive a 5.0 and you're not complaining about the price of gas. so carry on:p

I wish gas was 5.0 dollars a gallon.

Dont be so stupid.

Gas in Japan is $8 / gallon. Last time I checked, japanese dont drive 50 miles one way to their work. Japanese has one of the most efficient subway systems in the world. I can get anywhere in Tokyo in less than 30 minutes.

In Europe, people drive Smart tiny cars and they dont drive 50 miles to work either. Most dont even have to drive on the freeway to get to work.

Why dont you complain to the US government and ask them to build a subway system like in Japan, then I won't have to complain about the gas prices. They can charge $15 / gallon for all I care.

and those same people pay $5 for a bottle of Fiji water when they can get water for free.

Is that a large? Lol

For real.

Come to my gas station, I will charge you 5.0 dollars a gallon if you want me to.:)

German beer in Germany is cheaper than a bottle of water....
