Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
I wish people would learn that that one day will not do it. Especially when people fill up all the family cars the day before.
Also just heard yesterday that gas is supposed to hit $10 in two years. Why "because thats how expensive it is every where else in the world". :3 So soon the gas companies will put the car companies out of business which in turn will put them, the gas companies, out of business as well. We'll all be rolling in bikes like scotsis family and the economy will calopse. Thanks for looking. ::) |
Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
Yeah, I heard that on Monday there is supposed to be some kind of strike. These things make no sense at all. People are going to still need the gas that they didn't buy that day. :-\
It sucks that gas prices are this high but you kinda have to deal with it. I feel bad for independent truckers who are taking it up the ass during all of this mess. |
Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
Deal with it? You and I maybe but some people actually still make minimum wage. In lots of states in the south its still just over $5/hr. If I was making that little and still had to pay for gas I would just stay home all day in my underwear watching porn!

Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
Im thinking about buying a bike and just riding to work on nice or manageable days. My wife has a 2007 Boulevard or how ever you spell it and she drives that to work most of all summer. We only live 6 miles from work so i think if I get a Interceptor we will save the same amount in has as the bike payments.

Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...

Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
I've gotten several stupid gas strike emails. The only one I've got that was sort of possible/decent was one that suggested that everyone stop buying gas from 1 or 2 big name oil companys. Then hopefully the boycotted brand will lower their prices. But you could never get enough Americans behind that for it to work, if it would work.

Some days I want to cry and be held. But then some days I don't cause his chest hair scratches my face.

Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
I really can't see why people even do this.
|
Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
the only reason why gas is so expensive in european countries is because they tax the f out of it, and drive the prices up in other artifical ways
the socislists there want to socially engineer people to be better able to control, thats why they want public transportation, they choose where you should and should not go. |
Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
what people dont understand is that when you stop buying gas for a given time...your not hurting the oil companies what so ever. your hurting the local owners of the stations. the best thing that the basic person can do is buy from specific companies...i usually choose BP. they dont buy overseas and they invest into the environment and alternative fuels

Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
lol at people thinking gas companies will lower theyre prices.. gas stations wont either.. because they already have a cunthair thin profit margin they sure as ---- wont make it any cheaper.. gas stations arround here have cash paying prices a little cheaper than credit card paying prices because they actually were selling gas at a ------- LOSS when customers used the credit cards..
this is free market and this is what happends when you live in a free country.. guy blows himself up in iraq raise prices a storm brews in the gulf of mexico, raise prices opec has a meeting, raise prices osama sends out a video, raise prices iaea talks about iran, raise prices invade a country that did nothing to provoke us, raise prices shitty ------- thing is that the iraqi govt has a ------- SURPLUS and were at a DEFICIT and they act like the little bitch and cry when we talk about wanting them to use there own oil money.. we will never get paid back, nor will we ever profit from iraq, or be lucky enough to get out of the multitrillion dollars we spent there.. we wont make any of it back.. ---- it |

the socislists there want to socially engineer people to be better able to control, thats why they want public transportation, they choose where you should and should not go. please at least try to educate yourself before shitting out of your mouth. EU gas is more expensive because of the crude they buy and level of refinment. the european gas companies get tax incentives for refining cleaner fuel (as in 10ppm sulfur as compared to our 80ppm) though we both buy lite sweet crude it typically comes form different parts of the world so the sulfur and other content is different even thoughit is described under the same name. if you want i can go further in detail about how lower levels of sulfur lend to better gas mileage and cleaner emmisions because of the ability to run leaner |

where exactly in the US are we pumping crude clean enough to refine into gas/diesel??? the only ---- we have here is PA and CA crap that can barely be made into motor oil much less something to run an internal cumbustion engine on. |

When saddam was running iraq gas was cheap. Saddam ruled.

Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
gas was cheap way before "dubya" got into action. not saying the fault lays on him....but he sure hasn't done anything to stop it

Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
Why don't people just learn to be lighter on the pedal and buy more fuel efficient cars. I hate seeing people complain about gas driving around V8s and huge ass SUVs and trucks.

Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
or just use natural gas or methane. hmm....
|
Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
Part of the price difference is the additives the different companies put in the fuel. The fuel is all the same until it hits the refinery. It's like paying for natural gas it all comes from the same pipe in the ground, you get choises so you dont feel like someone owns the whole market.

Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
Ooooh look at me, I'm not going to buy gas. The gas companies won't know that I have to get to work, or drive to the store, or anything like that. They'll believe that when I don't buy gas one day, that I mean BUSINESS. And they'll lower the prices, just for me.
------- idiots. |

On average, 60 percent of the price European drivers pay at the pump goes to their governments in taxes. In Britain, the government takes 75 percent, and raises taxes by 5 percent above inflation every year (though it has forgone this year's rise in view of rocketing oil prices, and the French government has promised tax rebates this year to taxi drivers, truckers, fishermen, and others who depend heavily on gasoline.) On August 8, for example, the price of gas in the US, without taxes, would be $2.17, instead of $2.56; in Britain, it would be $1.97, instead of $6.06. "There is really good evidence that higher prices reduce traffic," says Stephen Glaister, a professor of transportation at London's Imperial College. "If fuel prices go up 10 percent ... fuel consumed goes down by about 7 percent, as people start to use fuel more efficiently, not accelerating so aggressively and switching to more fuel-efficient cars. It does change people's behavior." The US authorities, however, "are unwilling to use resource price as part of their strategy" to conserve oil, says Lee Schipper, head of transportation research at the Washington-based World Resources Institute, an environmental think tank. "The biggest hole in our policy today is fuel taxation," he adds. "Tax increases are something Americans should do but don't know how to do, and I wonder if they will ever be able to. "Consumers want muscle cars, manufacturers say they make what the consumer wants, and the government panders to both constituencies," Mr. Schipper continues. "It's a vicious cycle." taxes in France make up about 70 percent of the pump price. Country Tax % of Price United Kingdom 76% France 74% Germany 73% Italy 69% Spain 63% Japan 57% Canada 45% United States 29% |

The gas stations round here only let you fill up 75$ at a time, and its a ------- joke, put 75$ in and im at 5/8 a tank... ---- that, have to swipe twice to fill up.... If you are going to ---- me in the ass, atleast make it convenient. OH and ---- 36 gallon tanks |
Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
in two years other sources of fuel will be mainstream when gas prices go nuts, why would any alternative fuel source company reveal their technology now and have to compete with oil companies, when in a few years they will be the monopoly and have no chance of failure when they can chage whatever they want

this obviously doesn't count the unknown oil reserves |
Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
i dont doubt that there is a ton of oil left, however you will only see a true change if oil companies piss everyone off enough resulting in a want to stop using fossil fuels and right now that just hasent happened, but it will if things continue to go as they are

Drill ANWR, duh. I swear, Alaska needs to become independent. The rest of America is full of idiots. If it weren't for faggots in California, we'd be up to our assholes in crude, and stuffing our pockets with your money. Of course, G.W. would then invade us because he heard that we used to have WMD's 15 years ago. :S

ownage AFTER you add in tax states here in the US add on topof what the Feds tax we arent too far off of what taxes are in europe. like i said in an earlier post cleaner gas costs more money to produce. and once you figure out that our money is worth ---- compared to thiers, yes thier gas seems outrageous. average taxes on gas (including state and local taxes) in the US is 47% and way to get your info from over 3 years ago. and from a "cristian science" website. we all know how sane and trustworthy religious people are. |

the socislists there want to socially engineer people to be better able to control, thats why they want public transportation, they choose where you should and should not go. For the gas strike, it will never happen, before gas striking yourself, pressure local police, transportation department, and fire departments to try and cut down and become more green. |
Re: Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...
What about using Coal to produce oil? Why is this not talked about as much?
Current prices on oil is what, 100+ a barrel rite? If coal company's refined there coal to produce oil it would come out to 50 dollers a barrel. That is atleast half the price, why hasn't it happened? Coal company's will lose money, they make more money selling the coal to power plants etc. to produce energy and noone has pushed for them to make it into oil. Also, GeoThermo energy, not widly talked about one again, They just brought back a plant somewhere in cali that uses steam to spin there turbine, no more coal. Completely 100% green. If all plants used geothermo to creat energy, then caol wouldn't be needed near as much, therefore driving the price of coal down, therefore allowing coal company's to profit by turning coal into oil and our prices would be 50 dollers a barrel again. It all comes down to supply and demand, noone wants to make the decision to make a change because the money is good for the major company's rite now, why take a loss, even when it might make them more money in the long run? Its all about NOW not about the future. |
