WTF is up with gas prices? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #23401 62 posts Started by chosen1
In Chicago, gas just spiked 20 cents. The cheapest I've seen is $2.45 for reg, $2.55 for super (which is what I put in my car) and $2.65 for premium. And usually, I drive 15 minutes to Indiana and pay 20 cents less, but now it's only 3 cents cheaper. It's not even worth burning the gas to drive there anymore. On top of that, I drive a truck for a living and the price of diesel is $2.65 which makes it almost impossible to make any money so all the employees at my company are going on strike on Monday so that we can get paid more for delivering loads. This is crazy!!! It's only the beginning of spring and prices are getting higher. What's going to happen by mid-summer? I heard in Cali they are already paying close to $3.50.
2.67 or someting


THANKS BUSH! hehe

in all honesty i think our gas prices are paying for the war.

it rose so fast all of the sudden that it makes sense that we are paying for the war with higher gas prices.

Y'all have the nerve to complain???? Go to Europe and come back, then you will post, "Why the F are the gas prices so low?????"

Uhmm anyone ever hear of china? They are the reason everything is going up in cost. They buy so much crap now that it is raising the market prices. Stuff like concrete, building supplies, gas, cars, everything, its not bushes fault. Wait till the next president gets elected then he will get blamed for everything. Don't you people go to college?
Let's not turn this into political discussion...make a seperate thread for that.

I read in USA today Today that the prices will continue to rise b/c china is starting to develop a lot more and will need more oil for everything. THis is not good for any country b/c we are running out of oil and if the biggest populated country starts to use 10x what they used to, oil will run out very very quick
u gotta remeber one of china's biggest oil suppliers is sudan and we got a bann on there oil so they get supplies that we don't.

There is enough oil to last quite a while, there are huge reserves in alaska. The running out of oil is just hype, that americans like all the rest of the hype seem to buy into. If an oil shortage was such a threat don't you think that huge companies like UPS, airline companies would be more worried about oil shortages than anyone else?

jets don't use high octane oil only prop planes do so they don't need to worry. As for running out of oil yeah eventualy we will but the problem isn't because of china or the war its because the companies that run the oil industry decided to leave their cap the same so they aren't increasing supply as demand goes up. Sorta screwed here because there is nothing to force them to drill for more oil and this way they make more money.

I can care less about europe, its completely to different societies, so many things go into price differences because how they are taxed and what not. But the price of oil hasnt raised that much for the prices to shoot up that much.

& according to what i read online, my 2.35 for 93 octane is only getting taxed .46 cents per gallon
could be a push toward hybrid cars.

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
bah. I say don't complain until our gas prices reach the same level as other countries eg; everywhere in europe.

as americans we all think it's our god-given right to have cheap oil.

Not true at all, if china and india arent consuming more oil then whey would they need to encrease production? And they have been increasing production, just not enough. Sooner or later the market will take care of itself.

please dont regurgitate something you heard some one else say...lol they base this off pop-economics ... realize that europe has a different economical structure than the united states does. mostly a heavily taxed socialist system. there is reason for the united states to have cheaper gas prices

personally it p!sses me off.. basically china is keeping the Ren artificially low by continuous printing, this helps exporting because other countries can buy thing cheap from there. the problem is that the reason they want exporting to be high is basically because they use slave labor to mass produce whatever.. china is going through a major growth right now though .. its like at 10% last year and ppl on wall street start singing praise when we do 3 or 4 % .. i know it doesnt seem like much but imagine an extra 7% of the whole economy just layin around your house..

oh n gas is 2.20 here >rolleyes.gif>

WAR HAS NEVER SOLVED ANYTHING...EXCEPT FOR THE ENDING OF COMMUNISM, FASCISM, NAZISM, AND SLAVERY.
$2.39 here in Appleton, WI. >frown.gif>

A Jaws4God Creation...
2.25 in Charlotte. I just think it's ironic that the prices just shot up a couple months after the elections. I don't care that much if it's high because of inflation but it's going towards our president's beer fund.
The US owns like half of the middle east so baby Bush could fix it but why do that he's making money.

And the culprit is...duh duh duh...Bush
$2.87 for 91
