Default gas prices..ouch!!!

well i don't know about all of you but i am seriously pissed off about gas prices....there is no good reason why we should be paying up and over 4 bucks a gallon for fuel!!

i really think that at the rate gas is going i do not think that there will be anybody driving in the next year or two....ohh yeah and gas prices are causing the recesion not the war!!! but to get back on topic...in my home town the cheapest gas is 3.92 bucks per gallon for 91 octane!!![][:@]

and from the economic analysis they say that gas will fluxuate between 4-5 bucks per gallon this year!!! I can hardly stay afloat economically this year because 80% of my paycheck goes towards gas...i don't make much but what i do pay gets me to college and back...but soon i might have to drop out because i cannot pay for getting there and back...ohh yeah and the stupid california transit system sucks...i don't know about other ppl but there is only one place they pick ppl up at in my town so i have to travel like 5 miles walking distance to get there...and they don't go 24/7 either!!!

i wouldn't mind paying the high prices if it was going towards doing something constructive like fixing roads in america...because i think most accidents on motorcycles are caused by ****ed up roads or maybe fixing education in america....but noooo we gotta pay higher prices so ppl in opec and other gas corporations get better pay checks...

i was wondering what others felt and if they can reply with how much they have to pay for a crappy gallon of 91 octane????[:'(]

We all feel your pain my friend. I blame deej cuz he drives a bigg **** truck LOL. its 3.55 here for 93 octane. I deliver pizzas for a living. The owner is trying to EFF us in the A. by reducing our milage the distance the house is from the store. Right now i get 1.25 everytime i take an order out the door but soon i wont get that if its right behind the store. but i will get that if its on the edge of the delievery area. Which is bogus cuz they are just trying to make more money. cuz the delivery charge is gonna stay the same im sure of it

I feel you in the gas price area. Being in northern CA we are getting shafted in gas also. A lot of people think we are at the oil peak thats why its getting more and more expensive.

You think it s bad now? Wait until we are completely socialist and we have no control over anything. Everyone bitches about what the government does, then they bitch about what the government doesn't do. What is the right answer? Everyone keep voting for Obama or Hillary and see just how bad it gets. Then there will be something new to bitch about, although we won't be able to do it here because the liberal big government will be censoring our speech. The gas prices are a reflection of what happens when we depend on others to take care of us. How bad is health care going to be? How bad will the economy get when we are spending even more money that we don't have? It's coming...

zzrick > did the reds come and take over Ohio, or what are you talking about? They are not going to censor you on this or any other privately held website.

The money isn't going to to the government... do you know what all the major oil companies posted in profits last quarter? Had nothing to do with oil peaks blah blah blah... it is greed, and ***-raping people because of something they need. That's all it is. Until the government does in fact step in and start seriously penalizing the oil companies in addition to the people taking a stand - it is going to continue. Don't be so quick to bash the government on this - no matter who is in office... you will need them in order to take on the oil companies - and it needs to start happening long before billarobama or anyone else gets in office.

Revolution.

Oh - and zzrick> as of a few weeks ago - your next post was supposed to be your girl. Post it up in the appropriate thread.

I am holding out on the wife pics...sorry. I really do need to post it, I promise that she does really exist.

The reds aren't taking over, in politics, or (unfortunately) baseball. I am just tired of everyone blaming the government for not solving all of their problems. When the government does something everyone complains, when the government doesn't do something everyone complains. It is just getting old.It isn't the governments job toprovide for everyone. I agree that they shouldmake sure we aren't just getting hosed by the oil companies, that is enforcing the law which IS their role. Maybe the congress should be investigating the gas issue instead of who used steroids in baseball, how is that relevant to our lives? I think the whole steroid investigation is infuriating!

I'll stop here nd let the conspiracy theorists take over. They aregoing to say that it is the president letting this happen so that he can make money, I guess he also blew up the WTC. The fact is he doesn't control everything, just like all of the candidates cannot possibly do all of the things they promise during ther campaignunless they get support from the congress after the election. Unlessthey don't have a platform and just say they are going to change everything...what in the hell does that mean anyway?

Sorry guys. I am done, didn't mean to get so crazy tonight, just tired.
