How much are you paying for gas today? Is this insane or what?

Question

If only we could ban together and not buy gas on the 25th of the month..............Just 1 day of not buying gas would hurt them and they would lower the price.........Don't you think?

Answer 1

Pah. Amateurs.  Petrol is over £1 a litre here in the UK.  An American gallon is about 3.6 litres so that is over $7 per gallon.

Just be glad that your government doesn't tax fuel as much as most other countries.

Answer 2

Gas was .62 cents a gallon in 1978 in California.  Adjusted for inflation of roughly 3.875% annually and you have roughly $2.90 cents a gallon for 2008.  Tack on the taxes implemented since 1978, add the structural limitations we have in the US with refineries, compound that with increased demands from China and India and $4 sounds about right for a gallon of black gold.

Answer 3

I'm paying 80¢!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... a quart.

Answer 4

If you think this is bad then you sure as heck are not going to like what is coming!

Answer 5

Cheapest where i live is $3.889 per gallon for 87. At least that's what it was this afternoon...

And no, they're not going to lower the prices. Whatever you don't buy on the 25th you'll make up for some other time--unless you stop driving the equivalent of one day.

Answer 6

Not buying gas for one day, will NOT make a difference as said before, seeing as how you'll just buy it tomorrow.

I say that we (as people in general)all together, just line up at all the gas stations at one set time and pay $2.50 a gallon, just calculate what the cost would be for what you pumped @ $2.50 and pay that amount. If they refuse to turn the pump on, go to the next one or bring your own pumb and suck it out of the storage tanks(the colored caps in the parking lot).

Now this WILL "show them", as long as enough people do this at once, if you go one at a time, you will likely be arrested yet applauded by many.

Answer 7

We are lucky to find it in TX for$3.08 for regular unleaded.  I think the only thing that is going to help is if we start carpooling and finding other ways of transportation.  One day will not matter to them.  It would take one week at least.  It would be nice for people to stick together and fill up on a Friday.  Stay at home with limited driving and not fill up again until absolutely necessary.  It might really effect it if we could do this for about a month.  It would take alot of people in different areas to have an effect
