Gas Prices

[FM]

Brace for the worst right now...it may not hit 1970s style, but then again that was because there was an actual shortage...right now, it's more that there's not much of a way to deliver it :?

Re: Gas Prices

Well, around here it?s insane too.

Especially taking into account that we?re one of the countries in Europe with the lowest wages (certainly the lowest in Western Europe, at least), but we still get to have some of the most expensive gas prices in Europe.

Just yesterday I paid 1.25 Euros Per Litre, that?s 1.55$ per litre, gasoline, unleaded.

One year ago, I could double the mileage with the same quantity of gas...

[maddlingo]

it would look nicer in your 401k, but did you actually adjust your benefits to keep the 36 bucks? or would you have adjusted it to put in an additional 36 bucks if gas prices hadn't gone up?

I guess it doesn't bother me as much because I live about 2 miles from work so I only have to fill my car once or twice a month. then again, maybe I don't give a shit because there's nothing I can do about it. an extra 10 bucks a month isn't going to break a person... it's only 33 cents a day.

I did not adjust my 401K. I was using that as an example. That money would be doing me better spending it on anything else except for additional gasoline.

Unfortuantely it's costing a lot of people a lot more than 10 dollars more a month.

Re: Gas Prices

Average here is ?1.10 a litre or ?4.40 a gallon or $5.46 a gallon and its only going to go higher....

Service station manager Randy Schuette is getting quite a workout changing the gasoline prices on his station's large sign.

"I bet I'm not done, either," he said Wednesday, hoisting price placards with a 20-foot pole at his station in Bismarck, N.D. At one point, he ran out of decimals, so a gallon's cost read $317.

wow!

ran out of decimals? did he put two in one of the prices or what?

[skahound]

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe they're disposable decimals and are only good for one use.

PS- true fact about me: I have only been inside a Starbucks once, and I didn't buy anything!! I rule

I've never been in one....and never will. I fucking HATE coffee, and am glad I'm not "cool" bacause I don't spend $3 on a little ass cup of it.



Saw $2.89 gas on the way to work this morning. Never in my life has it been this much. I mean, where does it stop??!! $4?? $5???

Fuck gas.

Re: Gas Prices

Is that real??!!! If it is we are all fucked. I'll be DAMNED if I'll pay $5 a gallon for freakin' gas. I'll walk everywhere. Everywhere, dammit!!!!

My father told me that on the news last night they were showing gas stations in Atlanta charging $4.99/gallon regular unleaded with a 10 gallon limit.

and i bet people were lined up to buy it.

Bush is going to let oil out of the reserve but it won't do anything other than make his oil buddies richer.

i think the nation needs to rethink its plans for this holiday weekend and just stay at home and not travel. we need to have this whole thing blow over. it seems that the people that drive that the market (who have already been worried about oil production) are too worried about what this disaster will effect and driving prices up even more just incase.
