The pisser is that Exxon and the rest will post record profits this quarter:disgust:
I don't know if they were record profits but they have all posted profits so far. Up from last year.
Gas is $3.03 here (or it was last night). I keep reading about inventories being higher than last year but gas is still going up. I guess the Govt. gave up the whole investigation into the price gauging.
I for one am not going out unless I have to. Travel to work and that's it. Maybe once a week to a restaurant. It certainly won't help anything but I'd love to see more people driving less.
P.S.
I hate BS like this:
work closer
live closer
work longer fewer days a week
telecommute
ride a scooter
bike
carpool
Not always an option for people. Some people could do maybe one of those things.
And when people bring up other countries. They pay what they pay, we pay what we pay, our gas has increased in price quite rapidly over a few years. I'm sure those countries would love it if gas prices went up 100% in a few years.
What's BS about this? I've never understood why people live 30+ miles away from where they work and why people who drive in to work and work with people who do the same commute never think about sharing the driving a few days a week.
Or why people don't try commuting by bike, it's great exercise and it eliminates the need for driving to the gym after work to get in some exercise.
How bout the Country go back to horse and buggy?
How bout Rickshaws?
Flintstone mobiles?
