Well if your prices have been jacked up by the same percentage in the last couple years as ours, you'd be bitching just the same.

For real, this all started in winter of 99/00. It "jumped" up from $1.20 to $1.45. Since then it pretty much goes up, then comes down a little, then goes up, comes down a little. Theres been days where its jumped .20 cents. I've said it the whole time too, we were conditioned to accept the change.

It wouldn't be so frustrating if the public knew exactly why its going up. Its always lame ass excuses like more people are driving, its driving season, ect. Some where in a dark board room under a mountain this was planed.

jinxy 08-15-2005 07:18 PM

Re: DAMN gas
 
one thing that i dont understand is why the prices of diffrent grades of gas stay at a gap of 10 cents greater for each jump in grade of octane. shouldent it be on a slope? and not binded to the constant 10 cents. but more of a variable number or atleast a percentage? ???

scholvekaleeka:*Fills up tank with 40 euros on a 1.3 liter shitbox*
Bob: So where can we go?
scholvekaleeka: Lets go sight seeing
Bob (30 minutes later circle country TWICE): So what ELSE is there to do?
scholvekaleeka: Lets go sight seeing!

Gas is going up, but why bitch? Not like you can just stop buying it, or boycott one brand.

I remember the days of gas dipping to 99 cents on a good day.

so where all suppose to shup up now because we don't pay as high as you? Then what would be the point of this thread? I dont think he asked how much the WHOLE world is paying, I think he was getting at how much people in the US is paying right now. ;)

It's more than doubled in the last few years. I just saw on the news that Holland is now the most expensive country in the world to buy gas. Yes, holland is small. But my commute here is just about the same distance as it is there.
