Gas anyone???

Question

Oh my word! Has anyone filled up with gas in the past two days?!! It jumped 16 cents in one week and another 4 just last night! It's just plain ridiculous how much gas is costing these days. One explosion in Texas and they hike the prices up like they are going to run out tomorrow!!!! AH!

Answer 1

ya the gas companies made a 5 billion prophet off of the gas (thats pocket money)

Answer 2

Yes I have noticed. It's $3.16/gl here outside of Chicago where I live. We won't even mention diesel prices. It's getting near $4/gl. Jeez!

Answer 3

Well one thing you are not considering is the price for 1 barrel of oil hit 100.00. Anytime there is a ripple in the oil companys the price jumps and thy know no matter what we will pay it.

Answer 4

Heck yeah, This really sucks. I like driving bigger cars, trucks, and SUV's and this rise in prices is just killing my wallet. I have a smaller car but it only gets about 25 MPG tops, so I'm getting only about 14 MPG normally and if the prices go up any more I'm gonna have to sell all the cars I like and buy newer smaller more fuel effecient ones.  Many have sent me text messages about when not to buy gas on one particular day and the government will have to lower prices. Totally agree with you. We need to do something about this, which I believe we are by inventing new cars like the Chevy Covalt that run on electricity alone, or get 60 mpg. Bikes, Anyone?
