The answer to all three is Yes. People legally have the right to complain about gas prices, weather their complaints are unfounded or not.

i don't think anyone needs to complain

complaining is generally a waste of time

complaining about gas $ is always a waste of time

A rip off is a rip off, doesn't matter what you drive.

Here's one... I drive an '05 Silverado with a V6. I get 16 miles to gallon. THAT'S a rip off, especially when I see a 5.7L Hemi getting the same specs. :disgust:

People with big engines (what's the point with V8?) were probably paying $1.50 when they bought them like me. And no, I am not complaining. My gas costs went up this year. big deal. It's still cheaper to pay more for gas than a new car. But when gas hits $5+, I might start getting angry.

Complaining is sometimes useful when a conversation has akwardly died off and you need to break the uncomfortable silence. Where I live weather is always the same so that is a no go.

my aunt is always complaning about gas prices. She drives an 02 ford excursion with the triton 6.8l v10. it takes like 35+ gallons to fill it. She never has worked a day in her life except around her home. She married to my uncle randy for 20 some years. He makes like 100k+ a year. She has 5 kids but 3 of them have there own cars now, she only has to drive the two younger ones. There other truck is a company own. SO they dont have to pay for it. Any time im around her, and she says gas is to expensive, i just wanna tell stfu but i dont

Your fault for buying a vehicle with sh!tty MPG specs. No one to blame but yourself.
