it was 2.99 here last night that e85 is crap hard to start in the cold and gets less mpg. what i do if the price goes up ill stop at the cheapest station and buy just enough to last a day once it drops back again then ill fill up. if the prices hit 4 a gallon here im puting a diesel 460 in my mustang lol

 

I don't consider myself a "greenie" but being in college now has opeend my eyes up a little. And if what I hear is correct (and who even knows), drilling up north in alaska would not solve anything. It would only prolong our problem a few years. Big woop! I'd rather we develop other technologies and if it costs more, then so be it. I think even if the oil companies stopping screwing aroudn with our money and their sky-high profits, it'd only be temporary and again we'd stop developing new technologies once the prices went down again. So iono! Things kinda suck now but we gotta see this as a turning point. That's just my two cents.

 

There is no point in wasting our time in Alaska even though it would help somewhat, but in the gulf you got it. My uncle works with exxoon mobil as an offshore contractor, and he says the restriction that are placed on them hurts them, but the real oil isnt "just offshore" its dee sea oil drilling is where its @. If we put the time& research into that we easily cut the middle east oil companies out of the picture and just the thought of that causes them to throw their money to help out "greenies" complain and get their political counter parts to throw their weight and get the restrictions placed and hurt everyone in general.......Yeah and the profit margins they are reporting should show what thier real intrest is in!

 

Stop moaning about gas prices u don't know how good u have it!!! $4 a gallon my heart bleeds for u pass me the tissues!!!I pay about $7.20 a gallon!!!

 

The one day boycott idea won't work. Good explanation here: http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/nogas.asp

Until we, as Americans, decide to use less fuel all together, nothing will change, prices will continue to rise. It's known as supply and demand. It's how the world works. With that said, and at the risk of upsetting the tree-huggers, when I need gas, I buy it. My Mustang gets an average of 13 MPG and my daily driver is a 2002 F150 4x4 with a 4" lift and 35" tires, it gets about 10 MPG. I don't really pay attention to the price of fuel. I have to have it, and I choose to use name brand, premium fuel in both vehicles.

I do feel for the people on the other side of the pond like kalli and paddy. $7.20 a gallon. Yikes! At that price, I would probably have to reconsider my vehicle choice. On that thought... I wonder if the price of fuel has anything to do with Toyota passing GM as the the largest automobile retailer? I'd have to say yes.

 

I personally think gas prices are great. It ensures I have a job for years to come.

We just had the largest find of our generation in GOM. THere is a ton of oil all over the world butit is a technological challenege toget it out of the ground.

I didn'tget my mustang for gas mileage so why complain.

 

I tried explaining that to a friend of mine...hahah that he didnt understand is all i got out of it that and "your an idiot a 40yr old car isnt an investment"

i dont complain about gas prices where i live its only about 2.71-cheap stuff-------3.04 premium 93 octane.

 

I lied about the price it is $7.65 for premium

 

You think you've got problems, here in the U.K it's £5.50 gal thats $11.00 U.S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! OUCH THAT HURTS
