Thanks Obama!

Gas currently costs the equivalent of $8.44/gallon here in Sweden. I guess Obama is to blame for that too?

Don't drive a SUV?

Learn what the rest of the world has learned about fuel economy... Large and powerful vehicles are stupid unless you actually need them, which most people who have them don't need them. It would also be cheaper for them to just rent a uhaul the 1 time a year, maybe, they actually *need* a large vehicle.

Spectacular truth.

Fwiw, I don't think op is serious, it's not like we can control the growing demand of China and India, or the rampant speculator inflation that comes sometimes. Gas prices have been dick for a long time now.

The president doesn't control the price of oil. OPEC does. Additionally, the companies that bring refined fuel to the pump may or may not have an agreement with OPEC to keep barrel prices at a standard for X-number of years. Additionally, the president doesn't dictate what those companies charge for their product and doesn't force you to go to the most expensive one in the area or dictate what octane you purchase. He doesn't force you to drive, either (additionally

).

PSA: Gas prices hurt everyone and everything. It doesn't matter what type of car you drive.

Taxes are high but haven't changed, while the cost of gas has still kept increasing

Blaming the president for the cost of oil imported from halfway around the world doesn't make sense.

I'm sure Obama would have a surplus in the budget without those wars.

And I want our troops out of Egypt and Libya! (for the record I think Bush made some pretty shitty decisions as president. I think Obama has been every bit as shitty, he just seems to be given a free pass)

We have troops in Egypt and Libya?

See, Palin woulda gone in to Egypt with guns blazing, and shut down them dictator-hatin' terrists right quick!

Once she'd brought peace back to Egypt, them other countries woulda stayed all peaceful, and gas woulda stayed cheap!

Go GOP!! Libtards suffer! Palin 2012!!!!! WE THE PEEPLE!!!!!

My car is as opposite a SUV as you can get. Also, ask anyone in the Garage, my car is neither large or powerful...lol.

For some odd reason it does suck more than the highest gas guzzling SUV though. :hmm:

Obama sets the price of oil? Damn this whole time I thought it was OPEC and the commodities markets.

TwiceOver · Mar 10, 2011

Drive a small car, you won't even notice. I think I pay ~$4 more per full tank. WoopdyDoo.

thegimp03 · Mar 10, 2011

$77 for me last night pumping regular gas.

Nope, it's the President. He also decides exactly how many jobs there are and what they pay.

IT's in the constitution, READ IT OKAY?!

Yeah, I'm only a few miles from work so I decided this summer I should get my fat ass on a bike.

Hmm, let's see... as I recall, gas prices were at their lowest in the late 90s during the Clinton administration. Once Bush took over, they started rising from less than $1/gallon all the way up to above $4/gallon in 2008 when Bush was still president. Then once Obama took over, they dropped again to the $2-$3 range, and only now are they starting to rise again.

Not that gas prices actually have much to do with who is president at the time. Before you blame Obama for $3.50 gas, remember that Bush was in charge when we had $4.50 gas.

WEll to be fair, it took 8 years to screw it up. It's taken Obama 2 years.

Bill Clinton laid the ground work for the destruction of the American Economy. George Bush simply failed to stop the destruction from coming to fruition.

Everyone knows this.

You have a Mazda RX-8. Rotary engines are not fuel efficient.
