Whats your opinon on high gas prices?

Question

Whats your opinon on high gas prices?? Right now in Tulsa, Oklahoma it's 2.77 a gallon

Answer 1

It sucks, but with inflation the prices aren't that high. Sure cost per barrel of oil is a record high, but so is gold. Want to know what's at a record low? The value of a dollar.

Answer 2

My opinion is the government can't function without their money in taxes from the oil companies.  They are just raising the price per gallon until it equals the same amount of revenue for them while they slowly raise the mpg on the vehicles.  We'll be paying $10 a gal for 100 mpg cars by the time the government lets us have that kind of mileage.  Why do you think they squashed all those inventors that came up with 50 miles per gal. carburators for v-8's back in the 70's and 80's?  Now they are working on an engine that will have a compressor, and the fuel will be in a vapor form and that will supposedly give us higher mpg and less bad fumes out the exhausts.  Why can't we use turbine style motors with air foil control like the planes and choppers.  Gearing can do wonders for rpm with air flow channeled just like it lifts tons of metal into the air.  We are being ripped off by the greedy politicians.

Answer 3

My opinion is that I have absolutely no control over gas prices among many other things.

Answer 4

The higher the better.  I dont burn it, I invest in it.

Answer 5

I think people need to quit complaining.  We waste it, which is why it's expensive.

Answer 6

You're editorializing. Do you know what that means? It's when you inject your personal opinion into an otherwise objective discussion instead of just giving the facts. Weather announcers on TV do it all the time. They say things like "Today it will be raining, but tomorrow it will be sunny and the weather will be better." They're assuming that sunny weather is better than rainy weather, which is only true to some people, not all, as the weatherman is assuming. What you should be asking is "What is your opinion on gas prices?" That would indicate that you are not inflicting your opinion on everyone else, and your question would be welcomed by all readers, not just the ones who agree with you. Please reword your question in a less-offensive way so that those who do not share your opinion will feel like answering.

Answer 7

You're lucky; in Southern California, it's 3.20/gallon.  I'm sick of everybody blaming the high prices on everything else but the actual cause - the fact that we still get oil from overseas and do not drill for it in this country.  As I understand, we have plenty of oil up in Alaska, but the stupid environmental wackos won't let anyone drill up there.  We need to rid our dependence of foreign oil; we actually need to do it and stop saying that we need to do it.

Answer 8
