Gas !

[BladeRunner]

12 dollars to fill up my bike

[scootertrash]

I remeber when it was 12 bucks to fill up my truck back in highschool

[kenwelshons]

$4.50 a gallon by end of June, almost $6.00 if another big storm rapes the gulf again.

That's my prediction. Did you know the pumps cut you off at $100? Ask me how I F'ing know...

Shhesshh, I have 1 yr before I am paying for gas for both me & my daughter, plus insurance on her, then a yr later gas for me, her & my son & insurance for 2 teenagers!!
If I had a brain in my head I'd find a rich man to marry!!
On the positive side of things that's only a total of 4 yrs of paying for gas & insurance for 2 teenagers!!

Now ya'll do go a rant about Oil COmpanies in the US and crap, cause I do not wanna hear it.

Do you know that we import more gas and oil from Venezuela that we do our own?

How much does gas cost in Venezuela?asdf

[nickatnite]

They were talking about that yesterday and is was around 0.15/gal.....

Citgo in LakeCharles is owned by Venezuela, it is actually a place they can send there oil. Seems there not to keen on the stuff. But the point is this big freedom machine is hooked on oil. We (as in a nation) consume more oil than we are capable of supplying for ourselves therefore creating this Bull Market in which were at the mercy of the Oil Companys. But to agree with Nick we import more Sour Crude from Venezuela than you could really imagine. Coffee12 That is all, everyone enjoy these great gas prices we are blessed with....Bable12
Cause basicly we are Owned by the oil company's......Head Bang

The Royal Dutch raised me, offshore put me through college, and Royal Dutch is about to buy me a new Husky 610.

The US's plan for a nation (the whole grass farmers) was wrong since we allowed tree huggers to take over the government. I think that until we produce what we use gas should be $20 a gallon if that's what it takes to make people stop driving.

Ha ha...

Ken, the Brits have been funding my lifestyle and projects since 2001. Did you get that pm about the AR?

Hopefully, in the next 6 months, they will purchase me a BMW GS.

Ken does the numbers 7396 mean anything to you? Preach on about the 20 bucks a gallon....You ever been on I-10 at 5pm. That's way too many cars on the highway.

[kenwelshons]

Boilerman, yea you my source.

I'm all for the European way of doing things. Fast trains, NICE buses, and 100% tax on cars.

Fast trains and NICE buses. We can't have those things as Americans...We just tag and destroy them!!!

100% tax on cars??? Shit, I hope you were kidding!!

And just for the record....THE AMERICAN WAY IS BEST!!!Owned

Not the tagging and destroying partThumbs Down

[DukeRyder]

Only reason I'm not in favor of Gas going up is because how much that increase negatively effects the rest of the economy. Food, TP, clothing etc etc. I could easily make a grease car (very little fuel expense), and run the bike to save on gas; and not take in the ass at the pump, but I'd still have to pay way too much at the Grocery store, electric bill, everything will cost more.

[kenwelshons]

Word up on that DukeRyder, the hippies at work say $6.00 and civil war should brake out, I say that's when the Chinese will invade and we all go from grass farmers to rice farmers.

God forbid that day ever comes, and god rest there souls! The streets will flow of the blood of them. This country was founded and maintianed by people fighting for freedom, and I will not sit back and let it go to the way side to some communist country and or Islamic militants who want to wage that shit on my country's soil.


That and Louisiana has a few rice farmers already......

an idea that WILL work

This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola
executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies
who retired from Halliburton. It's worth your
consideration.

Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to
hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might
go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down? We
need to take some intelligent, united action.

Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea. This makes
MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain
day" campaign that was going around last April or May!
The oil companies just laughed at that because they
knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by
refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience
to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever
thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can
really work. Please read on and join with us!

By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at
about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently
$2.79 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the
oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us
to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at
$1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to
teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not
sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each
day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we
are going to see the price of gas come down is if we
hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their
gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
How?

Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop
buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if
we all act together to force a price war.

Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T
purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies
(which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not
selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their
prices. If they reduce their prices, the other
companies will have to follow suit. But to have an
impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon
and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now,
don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and
I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us
send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and
those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =
3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches
the sixth group of people, we will have reached over
THREE MILLION consumers.

If those three million get excited and pass this on to
ten friends each, then 30 million people will have
been contacted! If it goes one level further, you
guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all!
(If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million
and all you have to do is send this to 10 people....
Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician.
But I am, so trust me on this one.) :-)

How long would all that take? If each of us sends
this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of
receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be
contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you
didn't think you and I had that much potential, did
you! Acting together we can make a difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message
on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL
THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP
THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

Oh yea, why doesn't everyone quit shopping at Wal-Mart and shop at their local stores, which keeps your dollars in the good ol' USA instead of supporting communism. This would put one hell of a dent in China's money source and keep them from being able to pay more for oil which will lower the world market price.

One of two nations will win in the end. The one with the most money or the one with the largest armed forces... oh wait, it's China either way.

Wal-Mart the American way... to communism.

(I got China issues I know, but that's just cuz so many of my fellow country men are idiots.) Hurricanes Katrina and Rita already proved that God hates the USA. I know, I know, but it's true I read it on http://english.aljazeera.net/HomePage

Y'all need to check out the cartoons on Al Jazeera too.

Sounds like an executive from Texaco or Shell wrote thisHead Bang

[Ritten]

The problem with not buying from one company is that it can't be done. What most people don't realize is that gas that you get at an Exxon station, the Shell station across the corner, and the Chevron station down the street all comes from the same refinery. Profits from your gas tank don't go back to one company, but rather the LOCAL people who run that station or franchise. The only difference in the gas at each station is the combination of additives and detergents that each company requires for it's gasoline.

[Katy]

anyone want to buy my suburban? It gets 11 miles to the gallon if you dont accelrate too fast... and it holds a whopping 40 gallons!
ha-ha.

So, I , also know what it is like to have the pump cut off on me at $100, unfortunately.

This is true. Just drive down Scenic Hwy. to Exxon. You'll see Dupree gas trucks pulling out of there heading to other stores besides Exxon!

I'm lucky , I have a company vehicle with one of those free gas cards, but I do feel for the people that don't. anyway talk is cheap and gas is not !

Next idea?

[minig0d]

Next idea... don't elect a president and vice president that have heavy personal interests in seeing gas prices to go up and then wonder why they do... Just a thought I heard the other day on NPR's "all things considered"...

You can't elect anyone that doesn't have personal interest in somthing, and if it's not oil.... well someone will give them reason's for personal interest... ie. money money money..... It's the nature of the beast.

Obama has to sell his Chevy Volts somehow and what better way than to get the price of fuel to five bucks a gallon.

[overrev]

My KLR is about to be a daily rider starting next week. With the new plug and clean air filter she's getting 58 mpg. Can't do that and ride in the woods with a hybrid!

[2Evil4U]

I'm still the slowest car on the road to and from work. When I start passing people, I'll believe the price is causing people to think. Otherwise, keep pissing it away at 85 mph.
