No kidding. But the people still pay $6 per gallon. $6 is $6 no matter where the money goes.

My point was, in other countries, people are paying three times as much, so quit whining.

I never implied that somehow the price of the actual fuel product was more expensive.

and in most of those countries, a 100 mile drive is a LONG drive, here in the US it can be a daily commute.

Who's fault is that?

nobody's...it's simple geography.

It's hard to blame the oil companies for price spikes when oil is a commodity that is traded daily.

Wrong answer. It's yours for living 20 miles outside the city on a half acre lot.

Many people in New York don't own cars, even though they could afford them. Why? They can walk or take public transportation.

Although I would rather walk. Public transportation is sketchy.

 

[jotosuds]

yeah i saw regular for $2.49 and i thought, "ooh i need to fillup.. gas is cheep 🙂 "

 

[imthebadguy]

hahah, thats so true

Speaking of public transportation, SEPTA (South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) is likely going to go on strike as of tomorrow. What happens to you if you rely on them? That's right, you're SCREWED.

Taxi until they go off strike. Or walk.

Or buy a car, just don't use it as much. It's ok to own a car, but if you live 20 miles away from work, transportation costs are your own fault, unless you absolutely no matter what cannot live near your place of employment,

 

[jadinolf]

$2.75 here. 🙁

Only larger cities have extensive pubic transportation. Here there are buses, but they only seve the downtown and runs to outlying areas.

Taxi? Walk? You're ridiculous. The former is too expensive, and the latter is absurd in most cases.

Then if you live in a small city, why complain about gas? If you live 5 miles from work, gas prices are not an issue, unless you're a tight arse.

I don't live in a "small" city. We have about 150,000 people, and are the capital city. Yet public transportation is poor.

I live about 7 miles from work, but often put on 50 miles a day in the course of business. Others have longer commutes. And when did I complain about the price of gas? I will now since you brought it up. Hard to agree that Exxon needs to raise the price of gas 80 cents because of "shortages" and supply issues, but yet can post record profits at the same time.

Don't be such a simpleton. You read a news headline and you think you know Exxon's entire corporate situation.

Ok. If you drive 50 miles a day, and let's say you get 20 mpg. An 80 cent increase would mean you pay an extra two dollars a day.

Oh poor thing. Two dollars.

You can always buy some Exxon stock to offset the difference. 😛

Times 260 days a year times 100 million people....there's your record profits.

Why don't you explain to us "simpletons" about how Exxons amazing corporate structure enabled them to make record profits despite having it's products wholesale prices skyrocket and in "short supply"?

I'm not entirely sure, but if you'll get off your lazy arse and read the latest 10-Q on XOM (Exxon Mobil), you'd know that most all of it's large increase in income came from international revenue sources. Income within the United States only increase about 10%.

So put two and two together. It looks like they're selling more and more internationally. Can you say "China"?

US income only increased 10%, that alone is proof you're an idiot.

I also didn't think I would have to go this far, but you do know the price of oil has about tripled in the past few years?

No, what's sad is that we once considered $2 and $1 expensive. It's ridiculous how much fuel has been wasted because it was worth basically nothing.
