Last week it was in the $2.90 range...this week it jumped to $3.10-$3.20. Now it costs $45 dollar bucks to fill up my car.

FUCK YOU

THERE IS NO LESS OIL THAN THERE WAS LAST WEEK

YOU CANNOT RAISE THE PRICES 30 CENTS IN A WEEK

STOP FUCKING WITH US, ASSHOLES

more threads like this one would be a giant step in the right direction for a solution

2/22/2008 10:16:53 AM

I have a 4-cyl Camry...doesn't get more efficient than that without going hybrid. Still I have to bend over for Saudi Arabia every 2 weeks when I fill up.

2/22/2008 10:17:15 AM

at least you don't have to fill up with premium like i do

2/22/2008 10:18:03 AM

and they wonder why the economy sucks... no one can afford to get to work. It's going to be more profitable for me to set up a lemonade stand in my front yard soon.

2/22/2008 10:20:50 AM

i have a 25 gallon tank, i dont really give a fuck, i drive an F150. I'm gonna drive it i'm gonna fill it up.


But yes, this gas price increase is a bit fucked up. I dont know if there will ever be any change. I dont expect to ever see gas steadily below $3.00 again. fact of life, we fudged our relations with the oil world.

2/22/2008 10:21:16 AM

you are really bitching about $45? Be glad you don't drive an SUV or a Lexus or something that uses premium

wtf happened to tha prices

i usually use like a tank a week... cost me right under $70 to fill up today

2/22/2008 10:24:27 AM

I remember in the late 90's, it was .80-.90 cents a gallon...I could fill up my truck and drive all week for $10. Now that won't even fill the lawnmower up.

2/22/2008 10:26:07 AM

dude i remember that shit from when i was like 5

gas was like 75 cents a gallon

2/22/2008 10:27:13 AM

I'm going to Sam's club later and I'll probably fill up there

2/22/2008 10:33:48 AM

i remember when i was a freshman i could con my dad out of 20 dollar bucks before i drove back to raleigh. It'd fill my jeep cherokee to the top.

i also remember when i could con my dad out of 20 dollar bucks and buy some good pot.

times they are a changin.

2/22/2008 10:35:14 AM

Gas prices are so high, I saw a pimp walking the other day. He had parked his car for a few months

2/22/2008 10:36:29 AM

there are businesses and industries suffering more from this gas spike than your 45 dollar bucks

2/22/2008 10:38:57 AM

^^ I was just getting my interior done up. My homeboy work there he said he gone give me a discount.

you do know that "$" means "dollar" and you don't have to type out the units, right? idiot.

um the fact that he did that and added bucks at the end obviously indicates an attempt at humor (i laughed)

2/22/2008 11:26:59 AM

quit your bitchin, mine costs more like $90 dollar bucks

2/22/2008 11:30:44 AM

at least you don't have to fill up with diesel?

It cost me $53 when it was 3.35. It's 3.55 now in some places.

But I get 40 mpg.

BUT, when he first used it he said $## bucks, not $## dollar bucks, like everyone has started doing. So all those people are messing it up.

2/22/2008 1:06:51 PM

^texas refinery explosion or something in texas that will shut the refinery down for 2 months or so

just driving to work is $120 a month.

who knows what my leisure $$ is

2/22/2008 1:13:17 PM

^3 i think there's like a possibility of them cutting production and that has already changed the prices. but i don't think they've cut it yet. not sure though. i know there was some stuff last week and earlier this month about the possibility of OPEC cutting production...not sure if it happened.

in other news i've been driving around with my gas light on for 2 days.

PREMIUM IS NOT THAT MUCH MORE. SHIT LET'S SAY YOU'VE GOT A 15 GAL TANK. YOU PAY ALL OF 3 DOLLARS MORE. SO THAT'S WHAT ...INSTEAD OF 45...48. BOO FUCKING HOO.

I really hate when people make flippant remarks about how much more expensive premium is. You would have an argument, when we learned to drive. A gallon was only a dollar, but premium was still 20 cents more.

I've heard people discuss that, and also that it could cause a near-collapse of the dollar if it does happen. I'm not up enough on financial markets to know if that's true or if that's alarmist bullshit, but it's a scary thought.

But, really, these gas prices won't last very long. Relax. They'll go up to around $4/gallon soon enough. Personally I'm waiting for it to hit 5...because that will push premium (which my car requires) up to around $5.30 and then it will take me over $100 to fill up. A momentous occasion, to be sure.

2/22/2008 1:26:19 PM

Let's all boycott gas stations for a set day. That'll show them
