Why the hell are gas prices so high?
« on: August 17, 2005, 04:11:59 AM »
They\'re blaming this on hurricane season?

Bullshit. We\'ve had hurricane season before and gas wasn\'t 2.50 where I live.

I love Wal-mart\'s quote in the article. Oh boo hoo, Wal-marts making 439827 billion instead of 532093 billion.

The average price for US retail gasoline is now about $2.55, so the graph you posted is not current.  It appears to be accurate, but it\'s not current.

http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/wrgp/mogas_home_page.html



At this rate, we will be back to that 1980s "Record High" and perhaps beyond $3.00 / gallon before long.  By the way, we\'re at $2.74 in Los Angeles, and I just paid $3.05 for 91 octane a couple days ago.  :yawn:

I rented a Ford Explorer last weekend for some outdoor activity, and before I returned it, I put about 3/4 of a tank of 87 octane back into it.  That cost $47.00 at the cheapest place I know of.  Haw haw, I\'m so glad I don\'t own a damn SUV as my only source of transportation.  :)

why..because oil companies are greedy and they know they can charge all they want and the public will pay.

but like mm said, in the old days people were complaining gas was too high, and it wasnt even a dollar..gas will always be "too high"..why? because you cant produce oil. Just dig it up. and inflation.

im not sure of the working world yet, but im kind of worried about the gas going up but the paychecks not, so it wouldnt balance out.

everything is going up, and I don\'t know about you guys but I don\'t see my pay going up at the same rate....

How can a middle class family anymore afford a decent home.  A townhouse in my area is going for over 310k.  A fucking townhouse.  Pathetic :(
