He has nothing to do with oil prices. Do you even know how oil prices are determined?
Razor's right.
Unessecary Bush slamming is lame.
I know, Milk prices are fucking ludicrous.
I think I paid like $3.70 last time I filled up.
6.7 us$ pr gallon here. Quit whining!
The chicken teriyaki at the deli I usually go to was a dollar more than usual today. When will the Bush madness end?
You live in a tiny country with windmills and tulips, and good public transportation. Americans NEED to drive everywhere in gas gulping machines or we will die. It's a fact.Quote:

To do my part for the environtment, I walk almost everywhere I go. Or I date a girl with a car.

I pay $5-6 USD per gallon.
You guys have nothing to whine about.

Well, I'd like to introduce you to this magical place called Kyushu. You see, it's a pretty big island, and being that it's not the main Island of Japan, there aren't a lot of train lines, and trains don't run on a regular basis. Because of this everyone has to drive pretty much everywhere that you want to go. I average about 200 miles a week... and if I decide I want to go up to visit one of the big cities on Kyushu, it's around a 150-200 mile trip each way.Quote:

$3.40 for regular in Laguna. Prices only go up for the summer, so moving around wont be easy.
Hah, you people whose cars can use regular. I don't even look at the regular unleaded prices anymore.
I ride my bike all over the city. It's great (until I get hit by some douchebag).
Paid about $3.34 yesterday.
I'm driving to Las Vegas (a good 350 miles) next month. God I hope the price drops.
San Diego is a fucking hellhole for gas.
Heh heh, start saving.Quote:

That's $26.
Each way, plus food, turnpike fees, plus driving there during the week, etc. The extra gas cost pushes it over the edge for me. Last time I went it was 2.15 a gallon and the turnpike was $2 cheaper.Quote:

I'm glad my friends never got stupid like that over shit that was less then $20.
I filled up for $3.55 a gallon yesterday, so about $35.50 will last me for two weeks. Go 38mpg!

Gas is more expensive on the way back from Buffalo. It was 62 cents more than the trip to last time. It seems like a retarded thing and trivial, but yeah, spending a lot of money to visit someone for four days gets less desirable when the gas prices get jacked up.Quote:

China's demand continues to rise at an amazing pace. That is and always has been the primary reason for the price hikes. China's economy is growing like crazy.Quote:

Just wait until they make cars that run on air.... then everyone will quit their bitching...
then we'll all die due to lack of oxygen
Glad I don't have to drive that much. 7200 miles in 2 years. Hehe.
If that was the primary reason, then crude oil would be trading around $40-$45 per barrel instead of $66.46. There is a significant risk premium priced into crude oil right now. Months ago crude oil was trading in the mid-$50s. Traders determine the price of crude oil futures based on geopolitical factors along with supply and demand.Quote:

If gas goes over $3 here I'll steal it.
It's a thread complaining about gas prices, so yes, I'll complain about gas prices and associated things. Uh oh.Quote:

You're right. All those farmers and oil producers who sell their commodities are basing their pricing and hedging on magic.Quote:
