Sorry bro but thats not the average of gas in America. As of Friday it was 3.97 average nation wide. Gas won't change until Monday usually. Currently gas is expected to reach equilibrium at about $7/gal which is pretty bad.
And Cingal the average in UK is actually about 5.64 not 10.00.
its 3.70 on average in new orleans
the car that i use has about 25 miles to tha gallon

I thought Bush has a plan to get more oil. What happen?
Lol Counting On Bush To Do That Is Like Counting Paris To Not Be A ****
Espada come on, bush doesn't have a magic wand, he can't just magicily move his magic wond to magicly change the gas prices, hes not magical LOL.
I guess Jewish ppl are partying right now??
I like to call the increase of gas prices, the "Bush Effect".
1.35$ here.
Nice.
hasnt the demand always been the same since 2000?
LOL Opolis you make me laugh. Demand has sky rocketed in the last 8 years because of China and India getting more vechicles and production lines which require oil and gasoline.
I just hope by the time in 20 or so, the economy would have adjusted to itself
sucks man
and I still dont understand, why the hell all this new fuel (hydrogen or whatever) so expensive, its pretty much just water right?
I don't want more oil. I want cars that run on a fuel source that is not in limited supply. Something that we can regenerate. That way it might not cost so damn much. Water or electricity please.
Im not going to buy a hybrid because what happens when there is no more gas? My hyrbrid will die! Thats what, and then I will have spent thousands of dollars on a hunk of junk. My car right now hasa 14 gallon tank and i get around 22 mpg so I can live with it. I don't drive a lot and fill my tank twice a month. Thats about 100 a month on gas. I try to drive even less now. usually its either to school or work, and everywhere else I carpool or walk. (Someone stole my bike like 4 years ago... bastards)
Nothing against America but considering what u spend (not to mention India and China) what do u expect?
U all (at least the majority) drive cars that spend 1 gallon (3.8 Liters) to do 10 to 15 miles (16 to 24 Km), which mean u spend a minimum of 16 liters per 100Km. My car (8 years old now) spends 7 liters per 100km and our gasoline costs 1,5€ ($2,3) per liter ($8,8 per gallon) and we think it's too much. And u're complaining for paying so little?
Your government has no respect for the environment (u said No to the Kyoto protocol and u're the county that more pollutes in the world) and spend natural resources like crazy. Oil, even though comes out of the soil, takes millions of years to be formed and, like it or not, it's ending (everyone says it will end up to 2050 but I think we have 100 more years of oil, considering the new wells that are discovered and that the alternative energies will replace some of the energetic burden).
Honestly, I think you should pay more...
your quite the ***** arnt ya? If your gonna insult, please use correct English.Quote:

Now the thing about the American Government.
You realize our government is not a single government right? It is in its general state yes, but it is divided by other parts, that can veto, and carry many different decisions, so do not generalize our government. No one should.
Our government has played a role in being both a plague to the world and a saint to the world. If there is one thing I can guarantee you is that all it takes is one order throughout congress and an OK by bush, and our country could very well become the leading source in clean burning energy.
The problem is like with most governments, and NOT ONLY ours, Places like
China, Europe, Australia, and a whole cooperation of nations pollute much more than America. The major thing is that we need oil, it is the biggest supply and demand product in any modern city, state, region, province, continent. Without OIL the whole worlds economy would drop, fail, and rely on new sources of an economic failsafe.
Now our government is not the only one to blame for cruelty to the environment, right now I can bet you more American companies, and American based companies in other countries, fund more and more into clean burning energies than any other company in the world, based out of any other nation.
We complain because we, as everyone else does, or at least anyone who lives in a free nation, have the right to fight our governments strangle on our daily lives and experiences. If they charge 10 us dollars for a gallon of gas, I can guarantee you Americans would take the real initiative to change.
We complain because we do not want to be taken advantage of and end up like other nations paying 3 times as much as we do for gas.
We complain too much because we as Americans are not all the same, we want change, and the best way to change something is to actually complain about it, because it will get noticed.

How in any way could the EU live up in polluting?
This is, why it's so sad and ******ed, that people still speak up with such an opinion, as the guy I quoted.
To this I must add, that the energy efficiency in the EU is much higher, so that this difference gets even broader when it comes to pollution. Having that and seeing what people think how it is? That's not even funny any more.
Chicago yesterday was up to 4.49 for REGULAR.
Thank god Missouri has cheap gas. 3.76 still.
Anyways I think it has more to do with the millage. You can't help gas prices, but you can help your millage by getting a better car.
That is my dream car. :o I <3 it on first sight.Quote:

Hydrogen Gas is pure hydrogen. NASA stuff.Quote:

Why should we pay more and have the extra money go to the government who's probably going to create WW3?Quote:

Oh, and the "new" wells that are discovered don't have as much oil. Maybe 100000 times less than our biggest one right now.
I doubt we have 100 more years of oil.
PL0X TYPE OUT YOUR DAMNED WORDS.
Go to Korea. Subway + Walking = no need for cars. If you do get a car, its going to be hella expensive. 4 years ago the price was ~$7 for a gallon. Probably like ~$11 now.
Oh and I heard on the news that gas is .13 to the gallon in Venezuela.
It's around $4.00 here in NJ.
@Mr. Black - Damn your sig, I can't all the way down the page without watching it a few times. XO
That's a mature comment, isn't it? and if you're going to talk about using a correct english perhaps you should see what you write... First of all it isn't an insult, it's the truth and if you find it offensive then you should grow up before putting any comment at all. I can understand that you have a limited knowledge about what goes around in the world, after all most of the american TV news splits our planet between US and the rest (yes, I do watch CNN from time to time)...Quote:

In the first Kyoto meeting (I can't remember when that was), U.S. alone polluted more than the sum of a lot of countries and now I bet that if you add up the pollution that comes from all american plants, cars, ect and compare to the sum of the same sources of all european countries, the outcome will be that US pollutes more. I'm not saying US is the cause of all that goes wrong, what I'm saying is that it's unethical, not to mention irresponsible for a country so "civilized" as the US to have such a stance concerning all aspects that affect our planet.Quote:

Simple as that (perhaps I shouldn't complain that much because they do pay my salary in the end of the month, since I work in a chemical company. But that doesn't mean I should shut my eyes to what is going on around me).
