Gas up to 3.60 where I live and going up .02 everyday.

Right now, where I live... Diesel fuel is actually cheaper than Regular Unleaded gas.

 

Here gas went up .12 a gal over night, it stands at 3.09. Well it was when I drove home yesterday.
I stuck, because my business involves service in peoples homes and business'. Cant see myself dragging around 6-700 lbs of tools and parts around on a bike.
Did notice the Prez has created the position of "War Czar" today. The cabinet already told there was no need for that position, but Geo. has to have his own way.
1 year 7 months and he'll be back on the Ranch. Unless he thinks he can pull an FDR
and go for a third term on some "war powers act. God help us all.

 

Oh God, knock on wood, please, no FDR for Bush. I think I'd rather eat shit and die.

 

hippy i am:

The big difference is FDR help pull this country out of the "Great Depression"
where as Geo. W is doing his damn best to put us in one.
I'd rather have him getting a blow job in the oval office than seeing the body bag companies working overtime.......Dennis

 

GW is going to be responsible for the biggest recession ever. Quite the republican isn't he. Congress has finally noticed that the oil companies have bilked the American public for 20 billion already this year.

 

He's been on that ranch most of the time the past 6 years.

He's our 24/7 president. 24 hours a week, 7 months a year.

Yeah, the last time I was out, it was $3.29/gallon here...and it's only going to get worse. Man, I remember when it was only $0.99/gallon, and that was only a few years ago... =/

 

well you can be sure petrol prices are cheap now and are going to get much much higher oil companys are making lots of money but the main reason that prices are going to go sky high is peak oil .
watch the end of suburbia someone said america was built on mobility well nature doesnt give a damn and either you adjust to it or it will bring you down .

The whole film used to be on youtube but you can find it online if you can show it to family and friends ....find out about peak oil http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/ debunk this site read through it and find flaws if you can I personally think there are ways to work round things but the picture is very bleak.

soon you will think $20 gas was the good old days

At the moment we in the uk pay about $7.36 a gallon but we are a tiny country and people dont commute the distances they do in the usa if they do they commute by train.

try to imagine what will happen when gas is much much much higher

 

Thanks for the website!

 

$3.60 per gallon, that's about 31 cents per cup (assuming a cup of 33cl). A cup of coffee at Starbucks will cost you ten times that. Small bottle of water - $1.50? After tapwater, gasoline is one of the cheapest liquids you can buy, maybe about the same as buying value packs of bottled water.

Each "cup" of gasoline will get you, you car, your family and all your belongings about 2 miles (assuming 20 mpg). That's 31 cents to take hundreds of kilograms of stuff 2 miles, or in other words to do quite a few man hours of work. Cheap.

Gas is severely underpriced for the amount of energy it contains and in terms of the coming scarcity of this incredibly valuable finite resource. Brace yourself, prices will not be going down.

 

Get a job holy crap.. its not going to change no matter what you people come up with.

 

well I have a job, Im just pointing out that oil isnt underpriced and the only people who can change things are individuals .
if your wise re-position yourself so it doesnt hit you as badly as it could , you can live without being dependant on oil .
grow most of your own food , move to somewhere walkable all the fossil fuels are peaking this includes coal in about 15 years natural gas america and europe are in trouble , uranium isnt far from peak and most of the other fossil fuels depend on oil to get them .
society is going to change whether we bury our heads in the ground or not

 

Has anybody thought about other things that run on gasoline? It takes 15 bucks worth of gas to mow my yard! So, I'm planting lots of trees and bushes to take up space. And putting fencing up to pasture horses. It's not as "pretty" as a well manicured yard, but that's only a matter of opinion. What's "pretty" worth? Unfortunately, it still has to be mowed occasionally as we get poisonous snakes hanging around if we don't.

The rototiller for my garden has sat idle for several years due to using lots of mulch (from mowing the damned yard) and gaining muscle while losing weight by getting out the trusty old shovel.
I have narrowed down those gas powered items that I really DON't want to live without to a chainsaw for cutting firewood, a weedeater for mowing around all those darned bushes, and a chevette which only gets driven about once a week to town and gets great gas mileage. I also got a new ten speed bike, AND there's the horses, but they have to eat in the winter time too...... Guess we should be hitching them to a mower next...

If you have a job it gets more costly by far, 'cause all the alternatives take TIME and lots of ENERGY. I'm sort of looking foreward to this gas price thing. Lots of folks will be moving away 'cause there are "no jobs" close enough by, and the highway Dept. is going down 'cause they can't afford to keep the roads up. So, only the hard core folks will remain. We are already seeing a GREAT reduction in holiday/weekend/sightseeing traffic on our lowly back country road. Once again we can sit outside and listen to the birds and bullfrogs instead of vehicles going by every 10 minutes or less. If we depended on tourists for our livelyhood we would be screwed.

I guess, aside from car pooling to and from work, there is not much else to do except adopt a much more laid back lifestyle, not worry so much about money---Ya can't spend so much if ya can't afford to go anywhere---, and accept the fact that it could take more physical exertion than you are commonly used to to live. So, maybe "peak oil" is just what is just what the doctor ordered to help fix a miriad of problems, from "global warming" to obesity and beyond. What do you think? Let's find some POSITIVE outcomes to something we have no control over.

 

Ever wondered how much oil or petroleum products are used in conducting a war, or what the increased pollution is from the same activity? Think how we could protect the environment if we made war illegal.

 

You got me wondering what a single F-18 consumes in fuel.
You got to love the net.
Consumption is aprox. 2,200 Liters or 581 US gals, for a flight of 140 mins.
Thats enough jp-8 to heat my home for over a year.
Now anyone know how many of these planes are in the air at any given moment over Iraq ?

 

Gas is atleast $6.50 a gallon in most European countries. Y'all should stop whining and enjoy our relatively low gas prices. I am. :H

 

Yah gas by my house is like $3.69-3.79 but by my gf's house its only $3.37.

 

I've never understood why Americans seem to believe they have a right to such cheap gasoline.
