*loud, angry yelling* wish we were the crazy oil rich country. how does it drop 2 cents one day and raise 12 cents the next? when 10 years ago it wouldn't move more than 1 cent every 2 months

Use less gas :dunno:

So true. These people are usually old and smelly or young with t-shirts tucked into their wranglers.
I'd probably bitch about gas prices, too, if I drove around in an RV that gets 6 miles to the gallon and could remember when gasoline only ran $0.40 per gallon.

The reason it changed so much was because recently crude oil was hovering at a little above 105. There was a temporary drop after the Japan quake things went down but crazyness in the middle east with Gaddafi and other recent uprising is caused a spike up above 108. June crude is above 109 right now so expect to pay above $3.75 next month.

This means I'll pay about $37.50 for gasoline next month instead of $32.00 this month (I'm just guessing here. I don't even know how much gas costs right now.) I think I'll manage.

When I went by the pump it this morning it was around $3.60. The real problem I am seeing is July sweet crude oil is at 109.82. That could equate to almost $4 a gallon. The thing you're not thinking about is cost of living. Just because you won't pay much for more car for your gas doesn't mean you won't pay more for other things(Food, electricity, anything that requires fuel to be delivered or made).
It doesn't help food prices when on top of things we are using our food supplies in a futile effort to create fuel. Don't get me started on that but overall it goes back to what people have been saying, our dependence on foreign oil is killing us. We either have to start drilling off the coast or find an alternative fuel source. Perferably one that won't jack up food prices.

Fascinating . . . the previous Neo-Liberal Administration was excoriated over high gas prices, with all matter of conspiracy theories abounding about how they were in bed with Big Oil.
The current Neo-Socialist administration gets a bit of passing criticism and a "oh gosh, well, that's just the way things are" response.

The "oh gosh, well that's just the way things are" response is the correct response for both administrations. Our gas prices really aren't that high compared to the rest of the world.

The reason gas prices in the rest of the world are higher is due to much higher fuel taxes. Our prices should be significantly lower.

the answer to why it swings so quickly is improved market efficiencies.

Are you just pointing out that our prices should be significantly lower because of the lower taxes, or are you advocating that our already low fuel taxes should be even lower?
-

Good answer.
It is crazy to see how the "news" is reported now. I think every news network had a gas price chart stuck to the screen no matter what they were reporting when Bush was pres. Pretty funny that it just is what it is now.

The former, but I would like the tax revenue to be used for what it was intended and not just the general slush fund source it has become.

Its percieved as a high price against the average middle income salary., not against how much it actually costs. If you're spending, say, $100.00 a month on gasoline, that is still one of the easier to manage bills in your household budget.
but, The higher that margin expands between how much it costs for a gallon, and how much money a middle income salary pulls in......the worse it'll get for the working class., who then in turn, spend less on consumer goods and entertainment which drives a whole treasure trove of other job markets. The cycle of money to keep our economy going can't be funneled into foreign oil forever, or we're going to get seriously frackstarted as a nation...Just sayin'.

Gee, I wish we had our own supply of oil and the knowhow to build more refineries.

Gas goes up a dollar a gallon? Usually costs me an additional $10 bucks at the pump, and maybe $30 a month overall at my house. No big impact.
Of course, when I buy a vehicle, I take gas mileage into consideration because I'm not an idiot.

Seems like those guys' companies would pay for their gas or they would consider that a business expense for tax purposes. Sucks for the large companies that have a fleet of trucks that they have to fuel but that's the business they chose.

You'd be amazed at how many cars get over 30 miles a gallon (highway) these days.
So, if you're asking me if I want to buy a gigantic SUV that gets somewhere in the teens per gallon? No. I don't own a boat, therefore, I don't need one.

How elitist of you.
FYI- Those most affected by increased gas prices (i.e. poor people) don't buy brand new cars. Stop being so insensitive, bad person.
Also, lol at someone who's so poor that they have to consider gas mileage when purchasing a car. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why don't you be a nice guy and leave your old shoes in those cars for them. I'm sure a poor family of six would love to have a used Ford focus.

There are vans that exist, used, that get upper teens city and upper twenty highway.
You can make gas mileage a priority when you shop for a car. There are models in nearly every class that are superior to their competition. Sure, a plumber may complain, but does a plumber or electrician really need an F150, or could they have gotten by on a Tacoma or some other smaller truck?
It's been my experience that people who complain about gas prices are the same ones who buy Ford Expeditions or voluntarily chose to live an hour from their job.
I also find it funny that you supported Dave Ramsey in that other thread, and he would tell you exactly what I'm telling you here. Damn hippie socialist.

Tacoma? Pan have you seen a Tacoma lately??
Thing is, nobody makes a decent small pickup anymore, the smaller GMC/Chevy/Ford pickups are CAC.
But again, I am :lol: because you can find about 20 videos of Pelosi and other Dems out their on the floors of the House and Senate shrieking about the price of gas and demanding that the strategic reserves be opened up . . . 3-4-5 years ago.

love my Tacoma, dax you can get the 2 wheel drive version and get about 28 mpg. now the 4x4 V6 is roughly 18. Looked at a Tundra saw the mpg :horrorsurprise:

looking at the costs per gallon or mileage on trucks is stupid.
The real impact is the higher prices for food, clothing, consumer goods because of the higher fuel price to ship those items to the dumps we live in. Much bigger impact on the monthly budget than the difference between $3.00/gal and $4.00/gal.

Yeah, what will we do when the cost of a loaf of bread goes up $0.20, produce goes up $0.10 per pound, etc? I won't pay the extra $20-$30 per month on groceries, that's for sure. I'll probably just starve. :frown:

It most certainly won't affect all of the Warren Buffets on goEMAW, but it will definitely affect poor families. Gas and food are probably #1 and #2 expenses behind rent.

Yes, but then everything we use that is made in China would necessarily skyrocket in price. I think the better idea would be nuke India. We would suddenly add millions of call center jobs and eliminate a huge demand for oil.

I'm thinking a two part solution. Nuke china to reduce the demand of oil, and then manufacturers would have to bring their production back to the US. makes gas cheaper and creates US jobs.

I know you're just being intentionally dumb..and that is funny and all...but its more of a tragedy when a family is doing fairly well..and then they go into poverty...rather than just staying poor their whole lives. So if I were to show numbers which illustrated this trend...would that change your "poor families get this and that" idiotic viewpoint?

I know you're just being intentionally dumb..and that is funny and all...but its more of a tragedy when a family is doing fairly well..and then they go into poverty...rather than just staying poor their whole lives. So if I were to show numbers which illustrated this trend...would that change your "poor families get this and that" idiotic viewpoint?
Families are going into poverty because of the job market. That has nothing to do with $3.70 gasoline or food prices.

looking at the costs per gallon or mileage on trucks is stupid.
The real impact is the higher prices for food, clothing, consumer goods because of the higher fuel price to ship those items to the dumps we live in. Much bigger impact on the monthly budget than the difference between $3.00/gal and $4.00/gal.
Yeah, what will we do when the cost of a loaf of bread goes up $0.20, produce goes up $0.10 per pound, etc? I won't pay the extra $20-$30 per month on groceries, that's for sure. I'll probably just starve. :frown:

gas prices are a symptom of a much greater problem, it has everything to do with poverty
