Abq Gas prices!

Gas prices are crazy! The news is reporting that gas prices may hit $3.00 a gallon before Christmas. Have gas prices started to affect anyone? What can be done about it?

 

I have had enough of this crap....they say there is no shortage of oil....it is just the oil companies dictating what they think fuel prices will be! I for one cannot afford there profit scheme! I put gas in my Isuzu on Saturday and I had $45.00 to spend on it...it took it all and wanted more! I am sure the Bush family are enjoying their profits form their oil fields! If everyone in America would refuse to drive to work for one week....price would drop as if it were the year 1982! God I would love to see 75.9 cent per gallon again!

 

About a year ago, I was going through about $20 in gas per week. I don't drive any differently now, (maybe less, if anything), and it costs me $35 + per week in gas now!!

 

lets not get started on this but since somebody already did lets continue...one of the big reasons they say is the speculation that there is not enough supply to meet the increased summer demand therefore the price per barrel continues to skyrocket...bunch of bs according to me...opec has agreed to increase production (more oil available)...the saudis have agreed to increase production to the U.S...they say the war is a problem...hm, if i remember correctly when this war began it would open up the iraqi oil production into the open market (once again more oil available) yet the price continues to skyrocket...now they want to open anwar in alaska to drilling (which i am against even thought i am not a treehugger)...anyways, i guess being a consumer and i need to drive clear across town to get to work...i will just take it as it comes

 

We are going to have to commute together Carlos! Cuz that drive is killing me! That, or get a job at Wendy's across the street?

 

I put almost 500 miles a week on my car. Going from the far end of Rio Rancho to the airport every day. it comes out to about $60-$65 a week in gas, but I have to do it so there's nothing I can do about it.

 

jess, i am thinking we should start carpooling...the prices in gasoline have definately affected me...i was gonna buy a truck but cant afford to put gas in it...this is getting insane already...guess i will have to put a lift on my cavalier and take it hunting

 

i go to work and back home and very rarely go out otherwise... and it sucks because I only go out to places that are close to home and there isn't much there

 

It cost me $31 to fill up my car this morning. I remember when I first got it, it only cost about $16 to fill it up. Highway robbery, I tell ya.

Fortunately I do some driving for work and it is reimbursable on my expense report, but prices have gotten completely out of control.

 

I'm using my dusty old bicycle a lot more to go to the store. And I'm accelerating much slower than my usual jack-rabbit style. This price climbing is killing me!

 

I'm with Jess, its a load of BS. All to oil tycoons are laughin it up while the rest of us are struggling to put gas in our cars to get to work. Sad thing is, that one of those tycoons just happens to be the main person that should be taking care of the people in the US, well he's taking care of his people, just forgot about the rest us.

 

Seems to me that the least the govt. could do would be to remove some of the taxes they charge on gas.

 

Go get an oil change at the dealership and tell them you want you tank filled up if you wine enough they'll fill up your tank for you.

 

The gas has gone up .37 cents in one weeks time at the gas station by my house, it's ridiculous. Maybe they should start raising the wages to keep up with inflation, no wait that would make too much sense.

 

I own a business where I have to drive alot so the gas prices are really hurting my profit margins. I am thinking of raising prices to my customers.

 

A gallon of gas costs now as much as a gallon of milk!

 

Can cars run on Milk then?

 

I'm buying a cow!!

 

this strikes me as funny...barrel of oil goes up $1 gallon of gas goes up $.25....barrel of oil goes down $1 gallon of gas goes down $.05 if we are lucky...we're taking it in the rears friends but i just wish they would be more gentile about it!

Think about it....at the price I pay to fill up my tank ($45.00) After 10 tanks of gas....I could by armor... That just blows my mind!

 

So is the price of lube gonna go up?

 

heh, the price for a damned oil change hasn't doubled...they are doing it because they know we need gas...

lor, lol
