    I'm cutting back on driving. I hate the ****ing gas prices!!!!

    i think it is a scam to make their final trillions in the last days of fuel as we transition to alternative fuel souces.

    My office is 50 miles round trip so for the past 3 weeks now I have worked from home and only going to the office once a week. I still drive a lot but taking that trip away is 250 miles a week that I don't have to drive.

    Yeah, I feel sorry for the less fortunate, like 90% of America who lives on a very low income. It's like they are now working just to fill up their gas tank to get back to work again with nothing left. Now how ****ed up is that?

    I have an SUV with a v6 4.3 litre in it and will fill it 2 times a week for for my girlfriend to get to work (6 miles one way) and some casual driving throughout the week.

    Thats round 120 bucks a week right now.

    I have a toyota yaris, 39 miles per gallon and I feel no shame I fill up every 9-10 days vs twice a week when I had the ford explorer. (plus its like 8-9 gallons to fill vs 13-14 gallons each time, I was getting raped back when it was $2 a gallon, couldn't imagine $3.22 like it is now.

    By all means, feel free to enlighten us then. Don't imply that you know a little something more without some kind of explanation.

    Um, and oh yeah, at least 99% of us are already aware that Bush sucks and his personal agenda is costing the rest of us our privileged livelihoods.

    Yeh these gas prices are crazy. I'm cutting off those expensive escorts. One hundred and fifty dollars for a half hour on craigslist was only doable when gas was $2.20 a gallon.

    6.6L Diesel - Don't worry about about mileage or $/gal. I want to drive, when the price of fuel gets above $7/gal then I may start to look at other options.

    and they make 3 times what we do as well to go along with remembering that their whole country is only the size of an average US state. So when a brit says they have to drive across the country it is quite different than the distance in America.

    Not yet. But at this rate expect all prices in the grocery store to be effected. Maybe I won't do that EQ cycle to save on the grocery bill. It is expensive to eat like a horse!

    Funny, and probably a true point.

    I'm not trying to be the antagonist here...But for me personally (and my driving situation) its really not tearing me up inside. It's simply one of the few costs of this privledge that I have.

    I think of all the things that I waste my money on: And if someone told me I had to give up some of that so I could keep my "right" (read-privledge) to drive...So be it.

    I took my Camaro out yesterday. Gets 11 mpg when I keep my foot off of it, but I don't keep my foot off of it. Burned through about 8 gallons or 93 premium in a little less than an hour. So worth it.

    These trucking companies can only carry the extra expense of fuel for only so long before they finally have to raise their deliver charges and thus passing it right on down the line to the consumer, affecting all retail prices on food, clothes and basically anything that is delivered by truck.

    Trucks are what keep this country in business. It is surley going to happen where we will have to finally pay some of their fuel bill.

    ok, one of the major problems is lack of processing facilities in the US or Canada... they cant handle the volume needed cause the sites are old and not big enough, now the problem is no enviromentalists will let them upgrade or even build a new one cause of how bad it is on the enviroment...so that means the demand is greater than the supply so the cost of gas goes up... second, a lot of these oil companies are based outta Europe now, but when they get gas they send it to the US for processing then they charge them for that then they need to get it back so we buy the original product back at a higher cost....tthird, is taxes.....fourth is the US dollar changes as the canadian $ goes up so does gas... hope this helps, i have a lot more if you want.... it is just not all about the gas companies getting rich, not totally anyway...

    il second that, plus all our stuff (food, supplements etc) are the same price in pounds sterling as they r in dollars, so we pay twice as much as you lot on everything! its the equivalent of $2/litre, so $8/gallon!
