:disgust:

3.39 a gallon sucks. It's time for someone to start killing gas station workers. It will make me feel better and bring more attention to the problem.

How the hell did gas in the Bronx jump 20 fscking cents in a single day...

Drive less. Make an effort to consume less.

They don't set policy, dude. Do you kill bus drivers because the bus lines don't run near your house?

I drive an ULEV vehicle, and I need my car to go to work. I don't usually drive agressively, my tires are perfectly inflated from the factory.

I do everything I can to save gas. I just paid $40+ dollars to fill up a civic. Something is wrong with that.

It seems until someone really freaks out and does something crazy, nothing is gonna happen. How much will gas be tomorrow? $3.80? For regular?

Good idea then they will have to hire security forces to protect the attendants.

Then gas goes up more....



It's not like the people in the middle east are building Silver Cars, palaces and, snow machines in the desert over there.......wait NM.

Again, that's not the attendants fault. Carry a credit card or $10 bills if you want gas. Just remember, if it pisses you off that much, just don't buy gas.

Well it's obvious that the only solution left is to kill yourself, in an open field, away from people and domestic livestock.

Hop to it!

It'll pass $4 this year. So? Ride a bike, get a motorcycle, or take the bus; reducing consumption is the only "drastic" measure that will make a difference. Look, gas is going to get more and more expensive as it becomes more difficult to extract...in a century, I doubt we'll be using ANY oil for energy. Oh, and check your tire pressure, since they might have lost a bit of air "from the factory";)

haha, funny "fire bombed" good move :thumbsup: The corner store here up the price of bread $.10 so I went and released nerve gas in there. Serves though price gougers right, I mean its like they think they can charge whatever they want for their product.

I work from home because I'm disabled (600lbs). But it makes no sense, my 4800+ cost me $600 so why should I have to pay $400 for 200mhz? I bet AMD fixes prices that's why.

How about people getting fired from their jobs because of gas prices? In NY, my friend got laid off because his company (he is a contractor for time warner cable) can't afford gas, and had to cut down on the number of trucks they can send out every day.

Its bullshit, you people make fun with stupid nonsensical crap, but the price of gas is essential to some people's lives.

Of course it is. We all know this.

However, our current situation in the USA isn't going to change soon. We're in this situation because we've allowed our country to be run by oil men who care more about making as much money as long as possible than planning for energy problems. We've known for over 50 years that the day would come when oil would be a major problem but we've buried our heads in the sands and ignored the problem instead of planning properly.

This is the result and it's NOT going to get better soon.

I agree gas is stupidly expensive now, but taking it out on the attendents or stations isn't going to fix it.

I honestly think it will. I know I am being an ass, but until someone actually suicide bombs a gas station or something, nothing is gonna be done.
