Just Paid $4/g for Petrol Today

[Baba Ganoush]

The fact we're still burning gasoline in our cars is the main issue here, it's 2012 for fucks sake! I want my Mr. Fusion!


Seriously though, we should have been weened off this gas tit by now. It's such a screw job, and our entire economy teeters on the price of fuel. Rediculos.

oil is not as easy to get as it used to be. its all about GLOBAL demand for the product. the world uses more oil now so the price will go up. america has been living in a world of cheap oil for awhile and its about to set in that those days are gone.

its fact look it up!!!! this country will never produce enough oil to keep up with what we use. 65% is imported and we spend 1 billion a day on it! why dont you attack me with facts instead of names. it just shows how ignorant you are when it comes to the subject.

Bullshit. Oil is just as easy to find now, the issue is companies not being allowed to drill and pull it out of the ground. The current political regime is trying to force a political agenda onto the people of America by having the EPA strong-arm energy producers and oil companies.

^^^must be in California.

I have to say the increase in gas has been a major factor in me finding a job that allows me to work from home.

Gas hasn't been under $4 a gallon in the 2+ years that I've lived here.

Man, these gas prices would be killing me financially....


If I actually had to drive to work...

With a new born, I'd relish driving to work each day, even if gas was $20/g

Sigh...

"Most people think that when Obama says we have 2% of the world oil reserves, that that means of all the oil in the world, we have 2% of it.

That's not what that means. Folks, with new technology, we have more oil in the ground that we can get than they have in Saudi Arabia. That "2% of the world's reserves" means 2% of what has been brought up, 2% of what has been produced, not 2% of the supply. This has been an out-and-out lie, and I don't know how else to categorize it. He is purposely misstating this. This is a left-wing catcall for as long as I have been alive, and in this statistic is the implied guilt. "Look at us! We've got 2% of the world's oil, and we use 20%, and it's not fair. We are raping the other nations on this resource!"

That's what that means. "A country that has 2% of the world's oil reserves but uses 20% of the world's oil," means that we are raping the rest of the world. We are unfairly taking advantage, and that's not the case. In the first place, 2% of the world's reserves is a misleading statistic 'cause it isn't true. The second thing that you would have to do is -- I'm not gonna dispute that we use 20%, but what do we do with it? Are we hoarding it? Are we not sharing it? Is nobody else benefiting from our use of oil? Do you realize if every one of us... I'm gonna give you statistic I have used on this program before to illustrate my point here.

If every automobile were shut down today and not a single automobile was driven, we would still need five to six million barrels of oil a day to satisfy all the other products and services that derivatives of oil are used in. Even if we stop driving, we'd still need at least five to six million barrels a day. But, folks, this is not an evil country. And the president is trying to say that we have used more than our share, and that's the justification for making us cut back. That's the justification for high prices. That's the justification for us having to drive smaller and smaller cars, and maybe not even drive cars at all but drive batteries -- and maybe get on mass transit."

[SS Junk]

global demand is out growing global supply has nothing to do with obama. this country produces 2% and consumes 20% of global supply. unsustainable

LOL. Huge pile of horse shit. Same shit was said in the 70's and that was nothing but a farce as well.

[Captain Crawfish]

LOL wow what a fucking democrat mouthpiece you are. Just because Obama says those numbers, doesn't mean they're true. As a matter of fact, they're completely wrong. People like you are the reason we're in this trouble. Because you believe everything this administration tells you. I want you to do some research yourself, and find out why they are wrong.

As much as I really hate Obama, it's funny how we blame the President of the price of oil per barrel and gas prices.

Everyone did it when Bush was in office and mostly because he was from Texas.


The blame is on oil companies, and the market of the future market of oil. Those guys over there in Wallstreet are the ones to blame. It's all about economics people. And it's a money game period.

Just be glad we don't live in Europe or Britian was they are paying $8 avg per gallon when you do the math, since they pay by the liter.

[Stephen]

Yup. First time I've shelled out +$4 since mid-2008. And we're only in March. Fuckin' Obama, man.

Whiney ass bitch!

[STROKD]

I hope gas goes to about 25/gallon BEFORE November... I want that fucktard gone, and I know the "people" who voted for him will blame him for it...

Ill buy a Leaf or Volt and save a ton of money on hot rods in the process too.

[idrivea4banger]

The fact that current gas prices rise on oil futures is just mind boggling. It's a fucking racket. Think about it. 15 years ago, not even, gas was about $1 a gallon. It's now approaching $4. There's no demand to it; there's enough oil in this world to meet current demand and then some. 300% inflation of a price of anything in a ten year period is just fucking mind-blowing.

And here comes Jody.....

Shut up and go suck yourself off to sleep. You're putting too much thought into it Geor.
