Petrol?

[Phobia]

If your pumps haven't yet jumped $.20+ a gallon, you may wanna snatch up some gas. Soon.

[|Zach|]

I saw this on the news today....suuucks.

[Donger]

If your pumps haven't yet jumped $.20+ a gallon

That's not going to happen.

[Frazod]

Already hit up here - gas went from $1.80 to $2.00 overnight. My aunt said the same thing happened in St. Louis.

Goddamn arabs/oil companies are bleeding us dry, and it's only going to get worse.

[KCFalcon59]

1.99 for regular in Topeka. Just wasted 30 bucks to fill up today.

[BigVE]

I was "glad" I filled up today before it jumped from $1.93 to $1.99! Pisses me off.

[Donger]

1.99 for regular in Topeka. Just wasted 30 bucks to fill up today.

The fuel goes IN the tank, silly.

[Skip Towne]

It's okay, Russ told me so a few months back. I guess it depends on whose dog gets hit in the butt with a rock.

"Petrol?"

What, are you Brittish now?!?

[Phobia]

"Petrol?"

What, are you Brittish now?!?

Yes, I am Brittish. I presume that to mean Father to a daughter named Brittni?

[Donger]

"Petrol?"

What, are you Brittish now?!?

Watch it.

[Donger]

Yes, I am Brittish. I presume that to mean Father to a daughter named Brittni?

Heh. I couldn't think of one.

[Rausch]

Watch it.

Quiet, "Madonna."

[Beatlemanu]

Well I'm in Nor Cal, so that means I'll probably pay....hmmm... $2.40 or so for regular... great... :shake:

[DenverChief]

[Donger]

I still find it ironic that some folks will pay $4.59 for a gallon of "organic" milk or $1.29 for a bottle of water, yet bitch about the price of a gallon of gasoline...

[FloridaChief]

Glad I filled up at $1.79 last night...

[Frazod]

I still find it ironic that some folks will pay $4.59 for a gallon of "organic" milk or $1.29 for a bottle of water, yet bitch about the price of a gallon of gasoline...

I don't buy milk 12 gallons at a time.

[DenverChief]

16 gallons for me I can drop $40 a week

My old man is like that. He studies the price of gas like smart people study the NYSE. It's crazy. He's actually called me specifically to discuss the price of gas in the past. Now that I think about it, that's what he's calling about most the time.

[Donger]

I don't buy milk 12 gallons at a time.

Heh. With three little ones, it seems as if I do. I actually buy more gallons of milk a month than I do gasoline, by far.

[DenverChief]

Hmmm...what kind of people do YOU know that buy organic milk????

We are complaining about "the man" sticking it to us on something we really have little choice on whether we buy it or not. Gas. Gotta have it. Organic milk? Not so much.

[Skip Towne]

Exactly, and I have to do it every day. Some of these outlying customers might find themselves without the free installation.

You don't have buses? Taxis? Bicycle?

You're forced to the gas station?

Yes, I'm being intentionally silly here, but the emotional reaction to the price of gasoline has always fascinated me.

FYI, over 30% of the price of a gallon of gasoline is due to federal and state taxes. Only 44% is the price of the crude.

Taxi's? nope. Bus? nope. Bike, yeah but the 20 mile trek to work just isnt realistic.

As for the percentages on the price of gas....like I said, THE MAN is sticking it to us...whoever that is.

[4th and Long]

I just grabbed a 6er at the QT down the street and it's $2.05 a gallon. :eek:

[Skip Towne]

Heh. With three little ones, it seems as if I do. I actually buy more gallons of milk a month than I do gasoline, by far.
I'll bet you are in a very small minority if that's true. I have a buddy that had to move to a bigger house as he had more kids. He said he ****ed himself out of his house.

Yeah, I'll take a taxi over to your house to install your Directv. I guess the cabbie will wait while I unload my van into his back seat.

[chiefs4me]

Holding here at 2.05 a gallon for my diesel....

[siberian khatru]

$1.95 here, went up .09 in one day; up about .17 in the last 10 days or so.

[Uncle Fester]

Keep it up folks, I have stock in those oil companies. I fugured if I had to those fuvkers that much money per gallon I just as well invest and try to get some of my money back! ROFLROFL

[Donger]

That's true.

[Donger]

You're forced to install DirecTV?

Again, no one is forcing you to buy gasoline.

[Donger]

Well, whose fault is that? Learn to keep it in your pants.

B*tch raped me three times, and you laugh about it?

[ChiefGator]

We should ****in' invade some countries in the Middle East, and set up our oil companies to collect their oil... oh.. wait.. we already did?

Really.. don't we ****in' own the oil in Iraq now? Why the hell am I paying MORE for my gas now.

Sheesh...

[Donger]

Really.. don't we ****in' own the oil in Iraq now?

No. No we don't. Last time I checked, the Iraqis are getting 100% of the profits from the sale of their crude.

[Donger]

Not that I would pay $4.59 for a gallon of organic milk mind you, but I burn through considerably less milk in a week than I do gas.

Can I safely assume that you don't have three kids, nor a wife/mother that's on an "organic-only" kick?

[Donger]

Well, whose fault is that? Learn to keep it in your pants.

Like I've said, it's mine. I choose to buy that ridiculously priced milk rather than deal with the consequences of not doing so.

Just like people chose to buy gasoline instead of dealing with possible alternatives.

[ChiefGator]

No. No we don't. Last time I checked, the Iraqis are getting 100% of the profits from the sale of their crude.

Not exactly. The profits go into a trust fund controlled by the U.S. and the U.K. Also, we are working to [re]privatize the national oil company, and American oil companies look to gain the most ground.

Strangely, most American companies want Iraq to quit pumping so much oil, so that they can keep the price of Petrol up. Don't forget, that Saddam traded enormous amounts of gas for food, with the U.S., even just weeks before the invasion finally occurred.

[ChiefGator]

Maybe this should have been posted on the D.C. board.. but, I really think this is pretty funny.. Never heard this before.

"CHEVRON TEXACO-California based and the world's fourth largest energy company, Chevron Texaco (along with Shell and Exxon Mobil) was a major exporter oil out of Iraq through the UN's Oil-for-Food program. U.S. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice is a former director of the Company, and Chevron Texaco operates a tanker named after her."

[Skip Towne]

Well, whose fault is that? Learn to keep it in your pants.
Exactly. If you have more kids than you can afford it's your tough shit. We're talking about gasoline here.

[Skip Towne]

You're forced to install DirecTV?

Again, no one is forcing you to buy gasoline.
You're way dumber than I thought you were. You think I should change jobs because we are being raped by the Arabs? Have you ever heard of a Public Utility? Like the Electric companies? They are all regulated because they are essential to the good of all of us. The Oil companies should fall under this umbrella given the recent skyrocketing oil prices. Is anyone forcing you to buy electricity? You are one ignorant son of a bitch.

thank god the government is taking steps to use alternative fuels/power.

Wow.

Like I said, people get emotional over the price of gasoline. Thanks for the graphic example.

As I said, no one is forcing you do perform your present job which requires that you purchase gasoline. In other words, it's a choice.

[Donger]

thank god the government is taking steps to use alternative fuels/power.

..oh wait; that's something I dreamed about last night. Disregard.

I'm all for that, particularly nuclear.

[Donger]

Exactly. If you have more kids than you can afford it's your tough shit. We're talking about gasoline here.

I can afford the grotesque price of the organic milk just fine. I choose to. Just as you choose to buy your gasoline.

I bitch about neither for that very reason.
