gas prices

they just keep rising. consumerism in america rearing its ugly head and why? politicians with deep pockets and bank accounts to continue to stuff.

 

yes yes ohhh boy we're FUCKED isn't it lovely?

love!

 

In holland we pay 6.4 Euro for a gallon gasoline. That is about 8 dollars a gallon.
We have the most expensive gasoline in the world. We are getting fucked by our government.

 

gas has been far too cheap for far too long here in the U.S

 

Our ozone layer doesn't mind the gas prices.

 

gas is 2.99 or so and lots of places are out......I imagine it will go up again with the next shipment

 

i suppose we just got hooked on a substance and then the dealer just put up the price. the whole world moves on oil, without it we can neither eat nor move. the control and aquisition of this substance is paramount and this is why america like any old junkie had to get into iraq. expect to keep paying more especially when the states attacks the next oil shoppe over in iran.

 

in germany, more then 60% of the gasprice is tax.


am I glad I don't need a car right now...

 

and still the dutch go to germany for cheap gaz

 

Here in OZ, some states are at $140 a litre for unleaded which is severe. We have 2 cars, one unleaded and one gas. We now use the gas more since it's only 43c. It's completely worth it, if you can afford the $2000, to convert your car over.

 

we just have to deal with it, walk or take a bus if its affecting your life

 

She means $1.40?/ Litre and gas, LPG.

 

Yep what Bilby said. Guess i should've put the decimal in

 

What did you convert your car over to? Can any car be converted?

 

You can have your car converted from petrol (unleaded) to gas (LPG). It can cost around $2000 but is worth it financially.

 

Now that we've established exactly what the problem is, what can we do about it? From my point of view, I think we just have to adjust to it. Buy a bike, or, as localhippy said, walk. Take a bus. Does anyone else have other suggestions?

 

Well like I mentioned in the other thread: Boycott ½ the oil industry. Don’t buy any oil from Exxon/Mobil, or Hess and buy only from Sunnoco, Texaco etc. I also suggest not buying gas on the weekend.

I hate to sound like a broken record here, but we here but we have to show the oil companies that we the consumers have the power. Not them! If we keep paying then they will continue to raise prices.

 

The question is, how do we get the consumers to stop being sheep?
