GAS (gasoline!)
-
so...what's the new energy policy? : It's the oil traders fault...yeah right. They don't control the events in the world. Supply demand & the unrest in the middle east is the cause. Time to do something about it!
-
What a joke - the Pres points fingers but doesn't do anything.
-
He should say from now on all government vehicles should be run on nat gas. Even school buses, garbage trucks, etc.

We need to put gas prices back to $2.50 a gallon first.
-
They got me conditioned to think that the high $3 to $4 range is a good thing They got me swearing Grumbling Broke
-
woohoo We now have the distinction of having the highest priced gas in the nation. whipee. :

Mamby:
What I find the most amusing is....when it went up a few years ago...it was "Bush" his fault...blamed him. But now..I dont hear people saying it's Obama's fault. Of course not...he's made everything sooo much better. Gas is CHEAPER.
-
high gas prices anywhere...suck... for people who truly work for a living
-
End tax subsidies for gas companies...that will help a bill will be coming up in congress to do just that...democrats will be for it so call your republican congress person and ask them to support it ..and good luck

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Our gas (regular) is now at 4.50. OMG! This is getting very bad. I should have filled up yesterday!
-
I am not filling up ..... just putting in what I can .... because sometimes I do not have enough cash to do so. On a semi-humorous note .... There was a sheriff who pulled into the gas station where I was today .... a lady customer pulls up to the pump near the sheriff ... I hear her grumble at the price .... "They are robbing us!" she turns to me and says .... "Should we tell him that they are robbing us?" (With these prices) .... *The gas stations do not make the price .... the oil companies call them and tell them what they have to sell it for ... so don't take it out on the cashiers if you go up to them to pay for your gas.

Pretty soon, no one will be able to afford to buy gas or food at the rate prices are skyrocketing.

If they are trying to get me to buy a new fuel saver type of car .... it is not going to happen. I don't have the money to buy the car - (I do not have a car payment now on my car). and I would not be able to budget the higher cost of car insurance that comes with buying a new car. Realistically whatever fuel or thing they use to power a car .... will go up up up ..... if it is electric there will be grid talk, usage, demand, upgrade to the system, overload ..... the excuses will all be there ..... the costs will probably not go down. (now if I can figure out how to get my car to run on garbage or dog poop I will be in good shape for years and years )

hahaha...run on dog poop! Great idea! Maybe they should look into that! Or plastic bags that everyone is now complaining about. sigh...we are our own worst enemy. Many things that can be used for running our vehicles but we need to drill for a lot of them. Right now we need to explore our own oil & drill!!! AND LOOK FOR AN ALTERNATE.

Too bad we all can't afford to own & horses! Natural "gas"! lol

It is really tough when they keep moving the goal posts I thought I was going to buy a new pair of tennis shoes (gym shoes, sneakers, all purpose shoe) .... Possibly see a movie at the theater. Go out to eat at a moderate restaurant. See a game or a play - but not today or any day as far as I can see it all seems to be going in my gas tank so I can work another day for my gasoline and the bills get put in a hat .... I pick ..... the house payment today ..... sorry car payment, electric, phone bill ... maybe next time ... okay this time .... but that leaves me with nothing. That sucks.
-
Well oil was down $2.00 a barrel today...so ya think we will see any relief at the pump? HA! No way. why doesn't it go down as fast as it goes up? (gas)

Yup, my little raise I got at work last week...it all goes in the gas tank! There is something freakishly wrong about that.

Have 90 cents off per gallon of gas to use tomorrow - accumulated bonus points. That is going to be a nice savings when we fill 'er up
