I spent 65 bucks yesterday, and it didn't even fill me up completely... fuuuuu

3/2/2011 10:52:10 AM

Can we still blame this on Bush? Or is O'bama in bed with the oil companies?

3/2/2011 10:53:16 AM

we are looking at buying a house a little bit more in the outskirts of Raleigh, which will mean about a 30 mile trip to work each way. Used to be this would just mean, "oh man, I'm going to spend more money on gas driving to work", now its like, "we are going to have to change our whole spending budget to accommodate the extra cash it will cost to drive to work"

OR, I could just work from home a couple days a week, or use the company credit card to pay for my gas

either way, it sucks that its even a factor at all

3/2/2011 11:08:29 AM

6 dollars a gallon here.....stop bitching.

3/2/2011 11:10:06 AM

where are you?

3/2/2011 11:10:45 AM

^^^^ I wish gas was that cheap

RAWR STOP BITCHING THE PRICES ARE A LOT HIGHER IN EUROPE WHERE THERE IS ACCESS TO MULTIPLE FORMS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND IN LOTS OF CASES YOU CAN JUST WALK EVERYWHERE.

Better? I shouldn't be so cynical. I suppose there's hope that prices may drop down to that awesome $3.25 again some day.

The price at the pump right now is fast approaching summer 08 peak prices, this year's summer peak prices will be interesting.

i didnt necessarily limit "better" to lower gas prices

alternative technologies or sources could be "better" as well

i think the breakthrough (and acceptance of) with alternative fuel will come when the oil prices are stiflingly high

Guess we can accuse every other president during high gas prices of doing the same thing

3/2/2011 1:52:12 PM

just filled up

$61 and change

3/2/2011 1:55:53 PM

I usually get cut off at $75 and have to start over to fill it up.

3/2/2011 1:58:16 PM

^what are you driving?

3/2/2011 2:01:32 PM

2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 HD
I think it has a ~26 Gallon Tank

Once I pay it off I might get a car for everyday use and keep the truck for hauling and towing.

3/2/2011 2:21:24 PM

I so don't miss my '81 Silverado when I'm at the pump these days. It had twin 16 gallon tanks. I remember bitching when the cost of gas first hit $40 to fill it up. Sigh....why can't we have those days again...

[Edited on March 2, 2011 at 4:03 PM. Reason : btw it got like 8-10 MPG]

I'm very sad panda about this price jump. What is causing it?
I will also be sad about food prices because of gas prices. Hurting our hearts and budget.

3/2/2011 4:37:09 PM

fuuuuuuu....

3/10/2011 5:55:41 PM

^^^ Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and the general uncertainty surrounding all their bullshit. There isn't actually that much of a supply issue but control of the Suez Canal is a big thing to watch.

It's mostly speculators and commodities traders trading up the price like in 2008 right before we had the stock market meltdown. Speculative trading on oil should be illegal. That fucks the world up like crazy.

Thank you.

I am a pretty free market guy, but this is just like the horseshit with trading in speculative power production courtesy of Enron. All we have to show for that is grid manipulation in California to drive up the "price" of electricity on the supposition that there was a power problem causing blackouts and a company that was so full of horseshit that it collapsed under its own weight. Fuck them and fuck speculation in these markets.

3/10/2011 9:33:49 PM

^^ how else we gonna do it when it's 7000 miles away? If we built a pipe across 2 oceans around half the globe we could fix this problem

3/10/2011 9:33:55 PM

Well as of yet there's been no disruption of supply so there's no legit reason the price should be spiking like it has.

3/10/2011 9:36:29 PM

Oil prices went down today.
