Gas prices >>>

The price of gasoline has risen sharply since late '03 to ridiculous levels. Many years of good average costs and now(insert blame name here) is giving it to us raw. I dont believe any of this katrina or middle east crap. Its been the same ol story over there for millenia,aint nothin new. Heres a graph showing the trend. This is where technology leaves us? It should be easier to work together, not harder.




GW for selling america out also.

they have been saying it for twenty years .This way they can get rid of all these cars that no one can afford to drive. IF they had it their way any car twenty years or older would be crushed.slowly they take away you freedom instead of ripping the carpet from under you feet all at once.they are taking control of everything. i cant say any more they are watching

Looks like the upper red slash crosses the lower red slash at exactly 5250 forming a perfect x.

My mouse has two buttons and a nice little roller. I use the right button in conjunction to the left button. It helped me to eliminate the red "X" and actually see the graph. Does no-one else see what I do on that graph? Gas prices skyrocket...Then plumit about half what they went up...Repeat. They (the oil companies) will charge what we (the consumers) will pay. They jack it up way high and scare us, then lower it to half what they jacked it up to and everyone scrambles to the pumps to buy in bulk. When that buying frenzy tapers off, they jack it way up again for about 2 weeks to a month, then lower it half of what they jacked it up, resulting in a buying frenzy again. I am beginning to ride my bike more often when I can to combat this rape. I also took a job where I live on site, so I have no commute to work. However, I DO have my own business in addition to the job that I work during the day. I USED to have a 50 mile commute for that business. I have moved it closer, so now I only have a 5 mile commute. Which I COULD ride my bike to if I was so inclined. Which, I do about once a week. If prices jump too high, I will simply ride my bike more often and only drive the car for pleasure. I live in downtown, so EVERYTHING is close to me. I miss the late 80's gas prices of a dollar a gallon.

you can buy stock in fossil fuel also...cash in now......there are thousands of american's making mad cash on gas stock

IMO I think we need to tap every fucking reserve we have and start drilling the fuck out of the gulf and Alaska.

The reason the US is not doing just that is simple. We are using up all of the middle east's oil first. Then (theoreticly) when they run out, we'll be the only ones with oil. And we will be able to charge what we want to for it to outside countries. Of course, this will just make them love us that much more.
