The Gas Situation

[Adi]

What does everyone think about gas getting more and more expensive? How much does it cost where you live? How is it impacting the way you commute?

Personally, I'm getting more and more pissed. I don't see how the government can allow the price to jump so much. I don't know if it's the lobbyists or the Middle Eastern countries, but I can't stand it anymore.

At the moment, I'm paying $4 per gallon. That's probably one of the lowest in the US as well.

I drive a Mustang which kills me even more. I barely get 220 miles per tank (15-16 gallons) when I drive in the city.

The gas over here is $1.35 a litre at the moment. In the summer it's expected to get to a $1.50.

This is not making me want to get my license.

I'm paying 3.9 - 4 a gallon for regular. I live in New Orleans so I don't have to drive as much, but I still do. $20 doesn't even give me half of a tank. I remember when $5 of gas used to be able to get you through a few days. I put in $30 of gas yesterday just to run errands.  :bang: I drive a 95 Toyota...it gets about 25 mpg in the city.

LOL! You guys really shouldn't complain so much, because in Europe, gas is much more expensive.
I get it that it's probably much higher than what you were used to, but for example, here in Croatia, 1 liter of gas is 10 kn and when converted that means a gallon is 8 $... Also, take into account your life standard & the life standard in Croatia, that is - the salaries.
But on the other hand, in Iran a liter of gas is 2 cents, which is 7,56 cents for a gallon. :biggrin:

yes it is, but you all also have much less "space."  you all also have much better public transportation (from what i understand, feel free to correct me if i'm wrong).

a "short drive" for a few of my family members out west is less than an hour (or up to 70ish miles).

when your country is aproximatley 1.98 miles long, you don't worry about gas prices. I usually walk everywhere. :biggrin:

I think it's good that prices are going up. It'll encourage people to drive less and generate less pollution. And also, I agree with Borg. I'm gonna wait a year before getting my licence. I don't need it anyways because Toronto has a great public transit system.

Suffer. I'm on LPG, while my unleaded or premium petrol counterparts pay from the late $60s to the early $90s for a full tank depending on the car, I'm paying $32 full tank. Prices can rise as much as they want I don't care really. If I was those stupid Arabs I would make you pay allot more for it and sit on stacks of more money. Don't even complain like that.

I say we focus more on finding alternative fuels....

Bush wanted to drill in Alaska  :cursing:

This is what we've come too  :down:

[a;sdlfkjas;df]

i want the prices to go down just so i won't have to hear those assholes say things like "don't buy gas on this day so prices will go down."   

actually, maybe i want the prices to go up so these people will explode

[emogirl]

Here it's 3.89 per gallon. I don't complain, my car gets me 35 miles per gallon :D

True that Croatia is much, much smaller than the US, but compare our average wages with yours and take into account that our gas prices are twice as expensive, you'll get what I'm talking about.
BTW, I used Croatia only as an example, you can take bigger European countries like Germany, France or Great Britain where the prices are even higher.
