Gas Prices

---

holy shit thats expansive!!!! well, if anybody needs me, ill be takin a gas run down to venezuala...

You said it. Gas prices are crazy. Right now I have a Kia Rio... and looking at upgrading to a Honda Insight. 60+ miles to the gallon baby, yeah!

Im so sick of hearing about gas prices. The way I see it.. no offense to anyone if you don't like it then walk!

lol. So you like paying more money for gas?

I honestly don't even care. If you want something you gotta spend money..If you wanna go somewhere you gotta get gas.. and spend money. If you don't wanna spend money then stay home.

well what about the people who have to go like an hour or so to get to work?

they need to suck it up im so sick of hearing about it when we cant do nething anyways

I take my bike pretty often, but Im out of shape fro winter if its more then about 3 miles Im taking the car, and when i say 3 miles i mean round trip. last summer it was nothng to ride 7 miles into town and 7 back, now I do the 3 and I feel like Im going to die.Your problem si living at home and not having all the bills of an adult who lives on thier own and has kids to take care of.the money I spend on gas is less I can spend on food, the house, the upkeep of the car, vacations, clothes all that other shit. heating bills are up, good damned thing winter is pretty much over and I only have to pay for hotwater now instead of heating the house, but now I gotta pay for central air to keep the house cooler, that jacks my electric to over 150 a month with all the other shit I got going and two freezers in teh garage and the computers and all the electrical shit I use inthe garage fhelping to make a living. the worst part is that the over inflated cost of gas is not needed or warrented, simple price gouging, corperate greed that makes it harder on everyone to have a better life.

I think people need to plan their money better.. I see TOO much careless spending. I can't even remember the last time I bought myself anything.

I cant argue against that, its mostly true, but why should anyone pay more for something then they have to? we are only paying to line the oil execs pockets, record profits all of that.Im careful about what I spend money on but how about truckers who have to have that gas to deliver and get paid ? independants suffer and contract drivers get laid off from smaller starting companys as they can afford to keep employees running when the gas goes up. they pass it on to consumers and clients, but that leads to new contracts with new bigger comapnys who can absorb some of that cost and keep prices lower rather then the independants who used to be able to be competatively priced.its all a circle, everything affects everything else and gas is done ona major scale that fucks with everyone.

Im not saying I dont agree with you, Im just sick of hearing people bitch about it when we can't do anything.

well fuck!thats no good.I thought I was in for a long argument rather then you just saying, I agree Im just sicko f hearing people bitch! I agree though, Im sick of hearing people bitch and noone taking any action, do something or shut up.what that something may be I have no damned idea.

Take the bus.. there are soo many other options

Pink I agree that people do carelessly toss money into things. Gas is not really all that bad...I spend 40 bucks to fill up my Jeep but since prices have gone up I drive less and feather foot it b/c there is no point to floor it...Good points Pink!!

as do i.. but i still floor it

hahahahahaWell I cannot do that b/c my V8 would love to eat up the fuel....but none the less...good stuff.

yeah I always hear my mom and sibs complain about it, and she screams in French like a mad woman. This is one thing I dread when I get my permit. Too bad automobile gas doesn't come with a gift card. "50% OFF gas at any gas station" ya right.

My buddy has a truck that consumes gas like you wouldn't believe. He gets something like 6 miles to the gallon. Because of his current situation, he can't afford to buy a vehicle for himself. It's actually his dad's truck (RAM 3500). Anyway, believe me when I tell you I hear about complaining about gas prices all the time.The things is, the complaint is quite legitimate. If we all remained silent, the gas companies wouldn't have a reason to drop prices, ever.

Honestly....Having a big V8 is going to be worth the extra $$$ in gas....

lol. If you have money to spend. At one point my friend was spending $1,200 on gas a month. Now that he doesn't have a job, his driving consists of going between his apartment and his parents house, which is about a 4 mile trip one way. In my area, that's about $4 per trip there and back.
