GAS (gasoline!)
-
Gas here is inching its way up to $4 gallon, wouldn't be at all surprised if it hits $5 by summer. For more than 3 years now, we consolidate errands & walk whenever possible.

OMG! I paid $4.15 for regular this morning! This is not funny! I heard a truck driver said he spent $700.00 to fill up!

In the US we need to transition away from fossil fuels like gasoline asap. But the clog is that the oil companies have put too much money into buying politicians votes in their favor (guess which party). Gas prices are no way relative to the price using gas is costing US taxpayers. We need a green energy policy asap http://www.icta.org/doc/Real%20Price%20of%20Gasoline.pdf

yes, but in the meantime we need to drill in our own country. We need to stop depending on foreign oil. Right now! Transition away yes...but let's use what we have. I can't afford all this & I need to drive constantly for work.

It's a good thing that Bush is not President of the U.S. right now --- he would be excoriated. President Obama gets a free pass on this. (From the media). Their conditioning has worked. They hike it way up .... lower it ... talk of raising it and see how far everyone can be pushed. $4.00 starts the breaking point .... every nickel and dime it goes up just hurts that much more. We as a country should try to be more self reliant .... do our own drilling and cut back on our demands of oil on those who gouge. There have been warnings and signs since the late 60's and early 70's and not a thing was changed, or any attempts to do anything to improve this condition. Plain and simply it sucks!

There's no way prices are going to be low again. We're dealing with a finite resource. All the low hanging fruit of oil exploration has been taken. Any exploration and new drilling now comes with extreme risk and cost. Time to face reality. Jimmy Carter was so right.

It is about US$ 0.75 per US gallon.

Why doesn't someone do something to make all those dunderheads with supreme gas guzzlers like Hummers pay a fine or get rid of them?! Grrrrr

I think an extra tax on 'fun' vehicles. Boats, RVs, etc.

Time to give the speculators a long vacation -- so that we can bring down the cost of oil
-
Some supermarkets & convenience stores have been giving small amounts of cash off on gas, as long as you rack up enough points & use their gas stations.

Won't be a bit surprised if it hits $5/gal by summer

still $4.15. They need to speed up our drilling & also work on some alternatives. why aren't all the school buses on another fuel source? Village trucks, etc. Come on!!! Why tax me so much. I'm just a working stiff!
-
With the nice weather coming, I walk whenever possible & save on gas

Get the Gas off the Wall Street Market - send these Speculators to the Unemployment line - and you will likely reduce the cost of Gasoline per gallon by $1.00 to $1.50 per gallon. What the @#$% a 41% Profit for the Oil Companies!?!? (During these hikes).

and remove all the fucking taxes they keep piling on this stuff. we don't have any leadership for the people in this country.. In the 70's they flat passed laws stopping the oil companies to charging more than Opec. Who fucking new the oil company would get Bush elected go into the middle east and take and drive opec rates up. Why hasn't Obama restricted all energy from being traded. 911 happen to the financial district why cause of our crooked politician politics.

minimum wage in america is around $7.50 usd an hour...no one anywhere should pay more than 1/3rd of their hourly wage for a gallon of gasoline
