There was an article about this in the paper yesterday. The article said that "Americans aren't phased by increased gas prices".

The article said that spending hasn't gone down, and SUV and truck sales are higher than ever.

Seriously, people just aren't getting a clue about this ----. And oil companies know this, they have economists working for them. They will continue to push the price up until they see a decline in spending either on gas or other consumer goods, then the price will level off or go down.

Funny that Exxon reported the highest earnings ever, yet their C.O.G.S. is higher than ever as well. Go figure. Bunch of douce bags.

my tank was a lil under half, and a i needed a car wash cuz the tree i park under at work is pollenating again (basically it takes a ---- all over my car), so I figure $10 for gas, $6 for the standard car wash. 3.159 for 91 octane. my needle is now just over half tank as opposed to just under it was $10 ago

a dude from a nearby small parts store was walkin there to get some candy and snacks for the guys over there, and he stops to complain to me, and tells me about how supposedly if everyone started buying gas from the smaller companies, it will go down, since the big companies are just raking in the dough.

this was at a shell, and i used to goto 76 just a block away but it shut down.. i think im gonna start going to safeway, since the gas there isn't too bad, but it's like 10 cents cheaper than shell, plus if my mom spends $50 there I get like -.05 per gallon

Ok where is this article from


Sales of suv's/trucks have been down for quite some time from the Big 3 us car companies.


http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,171108,00.html


Thats a pretty old article when gas was almost a dollar cheaper. So your tellin me since gas has gone up sales of 8 mpg trucks has gone up. Once again I would love to see some proof of this magical land.

the cost of oil is the higest it has ever been, sets new records almost everyday.

stop blaming the oil companies, blame the government for not letting them build infrastructure to be able to produce enough gasoline, blamethe govenrment for not allowing them to explore for more oil

My Dad just informed me of the $10 I spend in gas every time I go to see my girl. I took like $3 to get "emergency" gas and ended up praying I make it home and ate McDonald's. LOL.


$3.19 --> 93 SW PA

I was feeling bad about not getting a bigger truck today, but right now I am glad I didn't, even if my commute to work is only 2 miles.
