[oI Overdue Io]

Just like every one else Im so tired of the price of gas

[Mackn]

I pay about $4.20 per gallon... It's rising everyday

[RaginCajun]

$3.75 down here. when obama entered office, gas was $1.80. i bet we go into another recession over here in the US. if the bastards would just let us DRILL!!!!!!!!!

[oI Overdue Io]

I pay about $4.20 per gallon... It's rising everyday

So i may have did the math wrong but

but at 1.42L does that mean I pay $5.30 for a U.S gallon!!!

[bjpennnn]

Southern California is ridiculous. And since i have a nice car ha i use the best gas kinda sucks but whatever.

[Kawigirl]

1.19 per litre where I am right now...but I have to use premium...thats 1.27

[MACHINE5150]

1.50 euro a liter here.. so that is like $9.00 USD a gallon.. i live in the middle of the city though so i don't need a car

[Kawigirl]

i was upset about $5 a gallon haha

[RaginCajun]

yup mackn, you are right.

[JohnnyVegas]

I think I am paying around $4.20 for premium. I have a car that gets 8mpg that is getting extra garage time lately.

[jtuner77]

Natural gas conversion or motorcycle for me!!! Glad I sold all my toys years ago and to think about 2 months ago I was thinking of buying a M3 or IS-F.

$4.43 for 87 where I am at!!!

[calgarian]

$9 oh wow

i was upset about $5 a gallon haha

4$ goes to pay queen's lavish life style

[cyounger100]

4.25 where im at

[MACHINE5150]

4$ goes to pay queen's lavish life style

there is no queen in Ireland.. Europe is just fvcked.. they over tax themselves to pay for socialist programs

[songdog]

Nafta was Bushs wet dream.Gas prices go up.Profits thru the roof.Then they say we will investagate.No need you know wats going on.But they do wat they want to do.

[redz]

You guys have no idea! Here in Canada I filled up my 5.5L V8 with premium gas at 1.57/ Litre (ontario)so with 3.8 Litres to the gallon that equals 5.97/ gallon then factor in the Canadian dollar beeing worth 3 cents more than the US dollar and we are payiog the equivalant of $6.14 US per gallon!

[Booz]

way more than you lot over the pond,you wanna come overhere then you can moan about gas prices lol....................

[tapout417]

$3.84 guess im one of the better off ones. Still cost 85 to fill up and only get 12mpg

[Flagg]

The majority of natural oil on the planet will be gone within 35 years. Expect prices to steadily increase over this time.

This is true nothing ever gonna get cheaper the cost of living can only rise

[firmechicano831]

Here in CA about $4.34 gallon

[Shol'va]

This is looking more and more like the future of travel in America if we don't drill...

[Renesis]

4.15 a gallon here for me on a car that gets 16mpg city yay! I need a bike christ...

[l2elapse]

4,12 a gallon here

[Sage]

$118.00 to fill up on 93 for my X5 4.8. I don't even look at the gas pump anymore.

[jtuner77]

This is NOT true. The reason why gas prices are going up is cause they can do whatever they want and we dont have a real cost effective choice at this time Take into consideration all the oil money that went into Dubai that is not creating a profit. So how do they stay rich? by making more money and how do they do that? Raise gas prices!!! It's like the drug trade if you could only get it from 4-5 different places. Why undercut the competition when your product will sell for whatever you want it to sell at. You gain no ground financially when you sell something that is going to sell anyways for a lesser cost then your competitors, you are just shooting your bottom line in the foot!

The plan of the U.S. is to suck them dry then when thats it we tap our own resources and then charge them rape prices and im sure we in the U.S. s consumers will still get raped but we are hardly out of oil. Considering the pocket we found in North Dakota can substain the U.S. demand for oil for another 30 years alone I think we are good for 50-60 years easy.

The reason why we as an country of car manufacturers are charging our way we power cars is to have something that is more efficient at an overall cheaper cost.

I mean I was just a automotive engineer for a little while so I could be dead wrong.

We have and will continue to have, plenty of oil. Oil prices are rising because the powers at be want more money and the public, generally, is not questioning the price increases. The more we speak up and complain, the more awareness, the more the big oil companies will be forced to comply. It all starts with one!

And how do you know this?

As of 2008, at the current consumption rate, oil will be gone within 35 years, coal within 107 years and gas within 37 years.

i still do not think that this is all relevant. how do we really know when all the natural resources will be used up? you can skew data to read how you want it to read. i just wish my family was in the oil business!

[Flagg]

You know what's the point of any sort of data when people have already made their fvcking mind up about things without even attempting to educate themselves.

I mean hey, perhaps the world is flat after all. I mean we seen photos of our planet, but photos can be doctored!

EDIT: If there was absolutely loads of oil available, enough to last us hundreds of years, prices wouldn't be through the fuvking roof!

[RaginCajun]

just two years ago gas was $1.85, so two years ago we had enough oil? and two years before that it was what it is now, around $4. i have no clue as to why this is, and would love to know the real reason. the speculators drive the price up saying we don't have enough but then it goes down, why??????

How about you source something from within the 2010's. Considering the additional oil found just in 2010 in ND it has almost doubled our oil supply.

[higgy]

personally i dont think we will run out anytime soon. i mean look how much oil was split just from one bp/trans ocean drilling rig in the gulf......and thats just one single oil well.
gas products are so high cause of greedy ass politicians across the globe, whether its europe or america. i mean why not, if you can get rich then do it!

dont let the media scare you into believing the oil will run out

So education is through reading? Shit if thats the case then everything I post should be the truth. Sorry just because you post something from a sited source doesn't mean it's real. Oh and btw the government said we are no longer in a recession pretty sure I can site a source for that BS too.

You just dont get the oil game. If you control it why not manipulate it and the people that need it. You think an oil tycoon gives to shits about you. They care about one thing and one thing only. MONEY and how to get yours and how to get MORE of it. Think about it. You would be one stupid oil tycoon if you kept your gas price low because all yo would be doing is selling your supply that is NOT endless and settling for less money then the rest.

Great way to make some quick cash is the reason why. Supply and demand, supply and demand.

[JohnnyVegas]

In the long run, yes. In the short run, not always. Irrational behavior causes prices to go up as well. Look at silver. It lost, what, 30% of its value in nine trading days because people had inflated the price despite plenty of supply. Oil and gold have lost value lately and will stabilize, probably lower. Actually, I am waiting for gold to plummet.

My understanding is that only 12% of our oil comes from the middle east. I find it interesting every time the news makes a big deal about OPEC cutting production to raise prices, when 88% of our oil comes from other sources.

Another important point is the cost of getting the oil out of the ground. I once read that it costs several times more to get oil out of Texas, then it does in the middle east. Not sure what it costs to get it out of the ground in North Dakota.

Also, oil is a global market. There is a lot of oil that comes from the US that is sold to other countries because that is where they can get the best price. Simply drilling for more oil in the US doesn't guarantee lower US gas prices. We can lessen our "dependance on foreign oil" be requiring that all US oil stays here, but that isn't the sort of government we want, is it?

Just random thoughts.
