i was reading my Forbes magazine the other day and the economists think oil prices will top out soon and start dropping. right now we are in the middle of a three way between opec and wall street and the new world economy.

Thats about to change. the Logging trucks have quit moving here and the rest of the truckers are threatening a stopage if something isnt done. With the prices as high as they are now, drivers arent making eough to keep the trucks on the road.

hah try living in canada. 1.09 cents per liter

and 1 US gallon is 3.79L

so it works out to over 4$ a gallon here. and thats for regular:o :rolleyes:

[Mxjunkie]

psh i put 20 dollars into our canyon while I was out driving it, only gave me 7 frickin gallons :mad:

[Woodsrider]

j/p with ya nacs;)

[captain mike]

2.56 here in southeast ohio. i've been buying all my gas across the river in williamstown, WV, it's about .06 cheaper. got a 32 gallon tank on the van, so every little bit helps. looks like i'll be working a little overtime at the plant before the GNCC's start back up.

[speedracer350X]

Bottom line is people, we are still buying it. America isn't slowing down any. Like I said to the guys at work, I don't like paying any more for it than you do, but do or did you curb any of your activities? People are still going out to eat, to the mall, kids still driving their cars mom and dad just had to buy for them, young mommies just have to have that Expedition, Tahoe, Durango, etc... PS, I still drive my 98 Dodge Ram too. Thank the Lord I only live 8 miles from work. But on a serious note, the US in general has to tighten up a little. We are the only country in the world where our poor people are fat! I've been to Japan and Korea twice, Germany and Austria once. Don't get me wrong the US is the best place to live, and I hope it always will be, but some of those foreign countries don't have it as good as we do. I looked and looked when I was over in Japan for ATV's and stuff, they don't have that kind of stuff, at least back in '95 they didn't. And it seemed they only had 1 type of car they were driving, the majority of people anyways, all you had was a choice of colors. Oh well, sorry for the histroy lesson. Seems like history is repeating itself, ask anyone who lived through the 70's, and they will tell you about the gas crunch and all. I was born in 73, so I don't remember, just hear stories from my dad and uncle who used to run Roadrunners and Barracudas back in the 60's. Hang tough though, things will get better!! Sorry, didn't mean to ramble. Just my $.02 on the subject.

[Trevor]

here in Nova Scotia Canada it is 107.9 per litre

I just saw this post. Youre right they do get to write off a small portion of the cost of thier fuel. Just like I get to write off a portion of the money I spend on tools every year as a mechanic. Now, I havent asked my neighbor who is a trucker, and goin broke, but I'm willing to bet he gets back about the same % as I do. My biggest tool write off for a single year was $6300, of that I recovered less than $500 on my tax return.

[spincr4hire]

jumped to $2.69 here for regular...Shell V-Power is now $2.91...:mad:

[Davids440ex]

through out california lowest i get is 2.62 highes 3.09 all for 87

thats about right, we dont get much of a kickback at all, surely not even enough to offset the rise in cost for a single month. we have cut trucks, consolodated routes and generally tried to avoid any unneeded runs to conserve fuel. prices have been increased to offset a percentage of the cost of fuel, but we cant keep increasing in our business everytime the fuel jumps.

most trucking firms and OTR owner operators have added a surcharge to cover the increase and companies are paying it and passing it on to the consumer. this is reason #1 you dont have a major strike with the truckers like we had back some time ago. as long as they are getting the surcharges they really havent lost anything. other companies are not so lucky and we are all paying more for almost everything we purchase.

if diesel reaches $3 you will see things get crazy

the exxon/mobile corperation made 8 billion dollars last quarter. Thats the last 3 months:ermm:

but how do you argue that, they are a company out to make money. trust me i dont like the prices, but i wouldnt want someone telling me i need to do something because my company was to profitable.

i believe the demand side of this issue is driving the profits, we simply suck fuel down in this country like nobodys business.

80 billion*

[spincr4hire]

I see a recession in the future:eek:

[FHKracingZ]

WE should just stop driving for 3 hours in the morning one day, just EVERYBODY stop driving. Prices would drop like crazy. Remember anybody old enough back in the 70's how truckers just stopped driving, or how people would shoot at the gas trucks with guns. It will level out at about $2.15-$2.20 and we all think its cheap but last year when they did this it leveled out at about $2.05. so there still tricking us.

IT just hit 1.12 a litre here in Dartmouth Nova Scotia Thats 5.04 a gallon

[Quad18star]

I had plans to buy a truck ... but screw that .. I'll stick with a small car . I remember just a few years ago , when gas was at about 45cent a litre , which is about $1.20something a gallon . Now prices are close to $4 and on the east coast like someone said nearly $5 .

What needs to happen , is the major manufacturers like Ford Corp , GMC , Chrysler , etc all need to start pressuring those that have control over the price of fuel .. then maybe we'll see a drop in gas prices . My buddy drops $600 a month alone on gas for his Avalanche ... needless to say it's up for sale right now . Bus passes are starting to look better each and every day . :ermm:

[Warnerade]

[RobbRacer]

gas was $2.41 before work and now it is up to $2.66 this sucks it takes me 34 gallons to fill up thats $90 a week, this blows. i am also looking into getting a motorcycle. hopfully that will help on gas.

[roostin_dale]

I just drove through town and its up to $2.85 :( :(

[crday98]

i have a silly question. how is it that the price of gas can jump .10 a gallon from 9am to 7pm yet the gas station never received a shippment of gas? you always see it going up a few cents a day but they are selling the same damn gas that has been sitting in the tanks as they were earlier. that would be like me shopping in the store and having the price of my items rising as i am pushing my cart around the store before i hit the checkout. :mad:

he doesnt realize cause he isnt even 16 yet and doesnt have his license. so when his parents stop paying for his gas, i can PROMISE you he wont be drivin around in anything that gets 4mpg. unless he and/or the rents are completely rich out their buttocks. even then itd be stupid to drive around getting 4mpg b\c gas prices arent going down ANYTIME soon thats for sure, but u can bet ur arse they will go up and easily reach 4 bucks a gallon before the summers over :scary:

[Wired]

Down here in australia we're paying over 6.00 dollars a gallon! cant wait to get home and buy cheap fuel! haha it is getting rediculas though!

[mittman]

its pretty funny looking back at all the kids in my school that had big lifted trucks and suvs now their driving cars lol i dont care if gas gets up to 30$ a gallon (i wont drive my truck but it will be nice to start it up every once and awhile just to hear my baby runnin) then when everyone gets electric cars and no one is buying gas it will go way down but i will still have my truck and paying .50 for diesel. theres a .000000001 chance that will actualy happen but i hope it does lol

[honda4life72]

4.17 a gallon for desiel here :mad:

[400exrider707]

Diesel spiked to $4.75 around here and has settled at around $4.49 a gallon now. I've spent close to $5000 since august on diesel fuel alone. I'm going veggie! Already made some blended stuff last week. 50% veggie. Cost about $2.00 a gallon to make for me. Once I get the vegistroke going, it'll be darn near free.... sweeeet.:D

I do pay for the gas that goes in my truck, my parents sure as hell wont. Im also going to be paying for the insurance.

Not all 15 year old's are as stupid as you think. Im passionate about my truck, and not so much about riding and my other hobbies. If it means I cant ride but once a month, then so be it. I love my truck, and my EX can sit around. I'll be driving my happy arse around, in my truck, getting 4mpg if thats what suits me.

what kind of truck do you have?

Cheapest place where I am is Sams club at $3.72 a gallon for premium. Most other places are around $3.89 for premium. My aunt in NY said regular was at the cheapest place was $3.71 and premium is $3.91 at the cheapest place. So I can get premium in Florida for 1 cent more than regular in NY haha. still when it takes $8 to fill up your quad that sucks especially when you dont really have what I would call a job. Last month I only made $60 lol and I got paid in advanced for this month which was $80. guess where almost all of that goes... either in my tank or for food. Gas in Venuzuela is 19 cents a gallon in USD. I'm thinking of buying a freight ship for gas filling up in Venezuela and storing it in Florida lol

[blacknblue#2]

3.75 a gallon for the cheap stuff in southern ohio......4.22 for diesel fuel. My powerstroke has moved one time in 3 weeks and that was to go on a date..........shes lucky she was cute and is scared of bikes or she woulda been on the back of the XR650 hahahhaha

[trxwannbe]

must be nice havin all those low prices its 3.89 a gallon for 87 here and 4.45 for diesel

[250r rider 88]

i didn't say all 15 year olds are stupid. what i meant was its kinda hard to get a good job and pay for gas gettin 4mpg when your still in school. how you gonna work two jobs while still in high school? you may take a lot of pride in your truck, and thats all cool, but i promise you wont be driving around getting 4mpg for long. either that or all you do is drive straight to school, work and back. and barely drive anyone else.

[Mxjunkie]

I just paid 3.85 this morning in my s10, I'm at the gas station every other day now because my money isn't getting me as far now.. Everyone there knows me by a first name basis..:o

Funny thing is, its not the price of oil but the declining value of the dollar raising prices, its like they just make up excuses to raise the price......:mad:

I live a mile from school and work 6 miles from home.

The truck gets better than 4mpg. I guess I over exhagerated(sp) a little bit. It'll do better when I swap the gears from 4.10's to 3.55's. I wish it had an AOD in it...right now it has a C4...:chinese:

I wonder what would happen to the world if gas ran out? No more quads that's forsure.. :scary:

we haven't drilled for oil in over 25 years? not sure exactly but its been a long time. Canada once offered us a **** load of oil and we turned it down. free oil. turned down. Alaskan pipe line has enough oil to last us 200+ years but we wont touch it.

[sideways]

3.83 for regular, 3.97 for super in southern mass. what the hell, i cant even afford to drive to work anymore. last fillup was 75 buck.

heard gas could reach 7.50 a gallon within a year, thats really gonna suck

Yea, of course. Lyntech (if theyre still around) builds some sick AOD's. We had one of thier AOD'd behind a 700 horse 347 stroker and it held up for 5 years. Sold it 2 months ago...I wish we wouldnt have though. It would be great to have in the truck, that way I could leave the 4.10's and still have the ability to outrun everything in the school parking lot...

I should still be able to even with 3.55's. Most of the kids at my school drive lifted Z71's and chit like that...:chinese:

$3.75 for regular here in Altoona, Pa. Man these gas prices really really really suck. My buddy's and I now carpool going to the tracks. No sense in taking 3 trucks if we're all going to the same place.

I'll take my own rig and have both bikes with all my **** before I'm stuck jamming everything into a little toat and only taking one bike and riding with a buddy any day of the week.

Its almost worth the extra money in my opinion

[KXRida]

Keep in mind I ride bikes. If we have a good bit of people going, we take my buddy's 24' enclosed trailer which will comfortable fit quite a few bikes/quads, tools, and gear. Not only that we usually take his f350, so we have the entire bed to put stuff in. It saves me on gas so I'm not complaining. My truck blows on gas mileage, so I don't even really bother driving it to the tracks anymore. When all is said and done for a whole day of riding (gas for bikes, truck, food, oil, practice fee unless I got to all of my buddy's tracks) It's a $100+ day.

my uncle cant afford to take his grand national out anymore because the race gas is something rediculous like $20 a gallon or something. maybe he should detune it more. Full out 650HP but he has it at like 500HP.

That's it? lol :p


My brother is still running his stroked 396 in a ranger at 550hp. He's in the process of building up two stangs right now. One for the street and one for the strip. The street will get a healthy 351 stroked to a 408 dropped in, then the strip will be seeing a 460 stroked to approx. 540 with a charger on it. The 460 is at the shop now getting cleaned and some machine work done.

I'd hate to run race gas in either of those!!!! :macho

lol yeah even with 500HP on street tires it was like breathe on the gas too hard and your head is burried in the head rest. With the street tires it ran 11.2 or 11.6 i cant remember. Fastest thing i have been in when the turbo spools all the way its insane you.

[416exfreak]

Its 500hp with a turbo and runs mid 11's in the quarter...

And you think its fast?:confused:

A bone stock mustang GT will run low 13's.

We had a mustang with a 347 stroker, healthy engine...well built. Probably 450 on the motor alone, and sprayed a 250 shot to it and got it to run 9.40's in the quarter on M/T ET Drag radials.

That thing was fast. Sucks about gas prices, because thats why my dad sold it. Couldnt afford to drive 200 miles to a dragstrip and run the car all day too.:(

You'll come to realize that it'll be the best thing you've done .... especially when you monthly gas bill gets cut down in half.

I sold my gas guzzler ( 95 Ram 1500 4x4) and bought an 03 Saturn Ion 2.2L ..... monthly gas bill at the time I sold it went from $500-$600 a month to about $200 a month. With todays prices , it would cost me roughly $700 if I still had the truck. :ermm:

Damn! My buddy has a 347 stroker with a paxton charger. His last run was somewhere in the 10's. After school I'll build up a mustang, I don't have the time nor the money, so I guess I'll just be waiting for my brother to finish his.

I just calcualted what our gas prices are after doing the conversion from liters to gallons.

I'm paying $4.99 per gallon for the cheap 87 octane. Consider yourselves lucky at $3. **

It really isn't an apples to apples comparison. One country can never do a direct calculation like this. These types of conversions fail to factor in differences in other taxes, medical benefits, etc. You might pay more for gas but less in taxes. It really boils down to looking at the whole picture.

We have politicians who think the gas tax should be dropped. That won't solve anything. It will lower gas prices but leave nothing in the road fund. Soon, we will have to pay higher property taxes, state taxes, or federal taxes to repair the roads. The best thing about taxing fuel is at least those using the roads are paying for it. Those who walk or don't even own cars don't pay for the roads.

I wish school taxes worked like this. I've been paying school taxes since 1989 (because I own property) and I don't have any kids. I currently pay school taxes in two states due to owning property in NC and WV.

I pay 13% in taxes on everything I buy ... PLUS I contribute a % of my pay cheque towards a health care system , a % of my pay towards the Canadian Pension Plan so that anyone over 65 gets some money that comes in , etc. I lose over $300 per pay cheque because of percentages deducted and again that's not including the 13% tax I pay on anythign I buy .... everything from a bag of chips to a case of beer.

There's roughly 3.8 liters in a gallon . I pay $1.32 a liter . Multiply the two together and you get my gas prices. On dollar is on par with the US greenback ... dollar for dollar.

[quad2xtreme]

yea, I pay federal taxes, state taxes, real estate taxes, school taxes, sales tax, personal property tax, medical benefits, social security...all I am saying is it is very difficult to figure out gas prices. The government subsidizes the oil companies too.

[trx400EXtreme]

their is supposed to be a rumor going around that gas prices are possibly going to drop. my personal finance teacher said something about it dropping almost a dollar by the begining of july. not saying it's true, so dontt bash me because of what ive heard. personally, i dont even belive it. just thought i'd bring this up to see if anybody else has heard anything about this.

How is it hard to figure out gas prices ?? School taxes don't affect gas prices , real estate taxes don't affect gas prices , nor does medical benefits affect the price.

The only thing that affects gas prices , is the price of crude oil , the refining cost, the supply and demand , the delivery costs , the federal gas taxes and the small amount of profit that your local gas station makes.

Also ...You can't forget , that if a camel dies in the middle of the desert , that's usually cause for concern and a very good excuse for the oil companies to jump the price of crude. :rolleyes:

The only rumor I hear going around , is that the price we're paying now will only double by the time Christmas rolls around. We're just getting started with the summer holidays ... and everyone knows , when people travel , the price goes up and up , and up . :grr:

I just calculated US prices to Venezuela and we are paying too much. See, we are happy not to pay what Canadian's pay but very upset we don't pay what residents of Venezuela pay. Geez, now that I think about it, even Cuban's don't pay this much for gas. They just take a government card to the station and get it for free.

just saw $4.06 for 87 in West Haven CT. this is getting way too out of hand we should start drilling in alaska.... it will drop a little then. but im sure there are many reasons that i dont know that others do to the reason that we dont do that so someone who knows please explain it to me.

[JRP]

Man i would LOVE for prices to drop, but i have a feeling they are going to keep rising until we do something about it. Im thinking by mid summer it will be close to 5 bucks a gallon for regular....:grr:

you seem to be a person with answers id love to hear more... care to explain?

[trx400EXtreme]

the only way i see them dropping is if they get SO high (higher than they already are lol), that truckers cant afford it. yes it's bad, because if the trucks stop, everything stops, but maybe thats what we need for who ever runs the oil company's to relize how bad gas prices are hurting the economy. also, not trying to be selfish, but the first people that will be effected is the freight brokers....like my dad.:grr:

That would only make it worse. The reason gas is so high is because of the dollar loosing its value. So if everyone in the entire country didn't go to work, it would make the dollar, weaker, which would make oil go up, which leads to everything else going up.

I hate to tell ya but we've been pulling oil out of Alaska for years now. Unfortunately we burn none of it. It all goes to Japan. The best thing we can do right now is go buy the cheapest rice burner we can get, And maybe the a-holes that run this country might do something before it's to late. This hole thing is hurting the U.S.A. that's you and me, From buying shoes to houses the dollars not what it use to be. That my 4cents. even that went to inflation.

The high price of gas is driven by demand from China, China's strong economy is driven by our demand for cheap products, its a catch 22.

[416exfreak]

What I dont understand, is why the price of oil is going up.

The oil thats coming out of the ground, is the same oil that was coming out of the ground 40 years ago, when you could get gas for $0.60 per gallon. I can tell you whats driven the price of gasoline up, and thats greed. Along with inflation, and a growing number of motorists, greed has driven the price of oil through the roof, which just passed down the line to gasoline. The owners of the big oil companies, know that we need the gasoline, and they know that we cant really function as a society without it. Some people drive 2 hours each way to work, and riding a bicycle is'nt practical for them.

Basically, its a supply and demand system, where they have us by the balls. They have what we need, and they know we really have no other way of getting it (aside from diesel owners using bio-diesel) so they just keep increasing the price and saying that it costs more to refine the oil, blah blah blah.

My question to them is this. If it costs more to refine the oil, and that is your reason for raising the price of gasoline... Then how did they make a record profit of (correct me if im wrong) somewhere in the neighborhood of $6 billion? If it costed more to refine the gasoline, and they raised the price accordingly with the increasing cost of refining it...then how did they make such a record profit?

Simple. The cost of refining didnt increase (if it did, it wasnt by much) and the big oil companies know that they can charge what they want, and we will pay it.

Something must be done, we all ***** and complain about the price of gas, but we all buy it every single day.

[quad2xtreme]

I will be bringing down the gas prices starting tomorrow. Planning to move a large chuck of money into xom (Exxon) stock. I've been doing very well with Vanguard Energy fund too...expect this to start dropping soon. :)

Honestly the only way to protect yourself against this is to invest in it if you have the money. If gas goes up, you get it back in stock. If it goes down, you lose some in stock but pay less at the pump. At least you can hold middle of the road no matter what.

It's going up in price because of supply and demand.

China is having an industrial movement , they are building more than ever before and there are more people in that country that own vehicles than ever before. When you think of the Asian countries become more and more industrialized with it's billion people , that puts in a huge demand for oil. Oil runs the world .... oil is needed to manufacture so many things ... and when big countries start moving forward , it affects the whole global economy .

To give you another example , take a look at the price of metals over the last 5 years. The price of raw material has quadrupled. Refined Nickel which once sold for $2 per pound , reached an all time high ( never recorded before) of over $25 per pound . It's now settled in at around $14 /lbs. The main reason for this ... China is buying up so much of the material that it has put the global supply at next to nil . Miners can't get the ore out of the ground fast enough .

When global supply is running low on reserves , the price goes UP. Be it the price of metals , the price of gas , or even the price of foods. Look at what is happening with the world supply of rice . Not enough rice in the world , means increased prices and companies limiting the amount people can purchase.

I'm pretty sure that it is because they have to ensure a certain level of cleanliness and they are also putting additives in it now that are supposed to make it burn cleaner.

But for it to be more than gas is just crazy.

Supply and demand is correct.

greg also hit the nail on the head with metals, recycling is paying huge dividends, has been and will in to the forseeable future.

the saudi's today basically said they wouldnt increase production (why should they! they are making money) and as long as oil is being purchased on an open market the sky is the limit

The problem is that the american people are spoiled. When we were just paying $1.50 per gallon every other country was paying $3.50. The american people are so used to having stuff handed to them and not having to work hard and watch where they spend there money. The price of gas should go down after the war. During every war gas prices spike and then they go down. What people dont understand id every day america is spending billions of dollars in jet fuel for fighter plains alone, Not to mention all the hummers, generators, and other needs for war.

And before some IDIOT comes on here and says the war is stupid and we shouldnt be there watch this video over and over and over and then tell me the war is stupid and pointless.<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h2yNLu6JBJI&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h2yNLu6JBJI&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> I would like to see you go tell the families of the people that died on 9/11 that this war is pointless. Either you fight the f****** that did this in there country or they will come and fight us here it makes no diffrence to them. And as far as im concerned if you dont like it you can leave the country.

And eastcoastpro20 good post too, sad video but you wont beleive some of the jerks we've got in this country. Theres a memorial balcony I guess you can call it right at ground zero, and people sign the wood railings of this balcony/sidewalk thing and there are so many people who just write terrible things like go terrorists, i'm glad you all died here... its terrible, but actually theres a whole other side of the story on 9/11 which is the whole conspiracy that I actually beleive.

And before some IDIOT comes on here and says the war is stupid and we shouldnt be there watch this video over and over and over and then tell me the war is stupid and pointless.<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h2yNLu6JBJI&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h2yNLu6JBJI&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> I would like to see you go tell the families of the people that died on 9/11 that this war is pointless. Either you fight the f****** that did this in there country or they will come and fight us here it makes no diffrence to them. And as far as im concerned if you dont like it you can leave the country. Our soldiers are over there fighting and risking their lives so that YOU can sit here and type on this forum so that YOU can complain about gas prices

So why are we risking the lives of our troops if we could have just nuked them and been done w/ it from the start?

We've lost more troops in this stupid war then we lost people in 9/11.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have done anything in retaliation, I'm just wondering if there were other ways of handling this.

Well see what I want to know is if afghanastan were the terrorists on 9/11, then why are we fighting in iraq? Possibly to finish the grudge George Bush Sr. Didnt finish....

And eastcoastpro20 good post too, sad video but you wont beleive some of the jerks we've got in this country. Theres a memorial balcony I guess you can call it right at ground zero, and people sign the wood railings of this balcony/sidewalk thing and there are so many people who just write terrible things like go terrorists, i'm glad you all died here... its terrible, but actually theres a whole other side of the story on 9/11 which is the whole conspiracy that I actually beleive.

Australia is paying between $5 and $6 a gallon .

you all are rite we are back over there because we pulled out in '91 but we pulled out because all of the stupid democrats like the ones now wanted to pull out. And look where that got us rite back over there. Also you all need to get your facts straight a lot of this started when clinton was in office, thousands of threats came in from osama when clinton was president. Also about 2 month before the present george bush was president a little boat of two terrorist pulled up next to a fighter ship that was on watch and the two suicide bombers blew i hole i nthe side of the ship. And clinton decoded it was not enough to go to war so basically he just delaid the enevitable, and yes soldiers died when that happend.

Yeah thanks we've all got different veiws but around here its mostly democrats, and theres an extremely interesting and convincing video on google video called Loose Change 2nd Edition or full/final edition. Its one of the best movies and anyone who would like to learn a completley different veiw on 9/11 and possibly the truth, then its an awesome documentary and you should definatley all watch it IMO.

my dads friend was telling us how he was with his friend in the bahamas on his boat and went to fill up this 47ft boat with twin 454's and it cost $1800!!!

[I-7]

Just force everybody from Alaska to move to the continental U.S. and drill that MOFO out until gas is 98 cents a gallon again...

To all you New Yorkers, they are taking 30 cents in gasoline tax off labor day weekend so our gas prices are going to be a bit cheaper. Right now its around 3.99 where I live so that means in around another month it will right back up there. Oh well.

wow... let me guess, your voting republican..

as to your concept of terrorist history, look up "iran contra" and do some reading.. this has been brewing for a while and our wonderful govt. paid for the whole thing.

al qaeda is already here, your current governing body has placed this country in a dangerous position by ignoring that fact.
we've been sold out by a bunch of self serving a*sholes from both parties.. they control the media and your money.

if you cant accept that, then perhaps you should leave.

in any case, dont be such a "tool" and open your mind.

[eastcoastpro20]

Subject: In just one year
This email comesin three parts:
Part 1
In just one year. Remember the election in 2006?
Thought you might like to read the following:
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
Remember it's Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him.
Part 2:
Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html
Taxes under Clinton 1999Taxes under Bush 2008
Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 30K - tax $4,500 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 50K - tax $12,500 Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Single making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000 Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250
Both democratic canidates will return to the higher tax rates
It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen. This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened.
PART 3:
You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?

is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us.

I agree I really dont like our current government and although eastcoastpro you really prove a strong point, no one will ever really be able to prove to me that george bush has done a good job its all so he can make a profit. Vice president Dick Chaney made 6 billion dollars selling warcraft to the army for iraq, if its just a coincedince that he's vice president and george bush brought us to war then thats a weird coincedince.

You mean we can post without saying anything political. Just kidding. $3.89 for the cheap stuff. $7 a gallon for Sonoco 110.

i dont know what you ar talking about man but today when i was going to work at 6 am it was $4.09 for regular and when i came back into my town at 2 pm that same gas station was $4.19 for regular.

It's been over $5 a gallon for a few weeks up here. Was $4.73 at the indian reservation where I fill up though. Less taxes there. $5.05 other places

I've seen regular unleaded up to $4.15 around here. 87 octane.


I put a $30 in my F-250 (diesel) then the very next day put in $105.02 and still didn't fill it up .... :(

[400exfan19]

the prices in canada are insane. This past week the prices were at 1.46 a litre which is exactly 5.55 a gallon.....startin in july we have to start paying carbon tax which will put it up to as much as 10 cents more per litre. and its supposed to just keep on climbing...

[Mxjunkie]

I don't know how people are going to make it this summer.. If it goes to 5 dollars a gallon by the middle of this summer I know I'm going to have to park my s10 and find a moped or something, as it is with 3.98 a gallon I'm just skating by paying the bills and gas leaving me with maybe 20-30 bucks.. :grr:

[450rJam]

IF.................. 9/11 was done by terrorists,

WHY? would we open the borders?

IF someone wanted to enter our country to cause terror our country has just gave them an express route

(If your home was broken into and your family harmed would you buy a gun, security system or would you leave your doors open and tell the police to look away if they see anyone stealing or breaking the law ?)


for everything there is a reason................... who profits from our situation ?

[400exrapes]

how can we lower the prices i've had the conversation before but we've got alot of people on the thread so maybe theres something we can do. One answer which really isnt that good of a solution is that everyone has to only use gas when they really need it, not for every little trip around town.

i get my liscence this summer, and the payments for my dads chevy 1500...

but i think i might invest into a dual sport bike or a ktm or something, it would save so much on gas

[400exrapes]

yeah and then you have to get your motorcycles license, and you'll need something to drive when it snows and rains.

There is a way...completely boycott one oil company from all their products, then that company would be forced to lower their price....nevermind i don't know what I'm thinking, i thought maybe the country could join together and do something positive...hahahaha yea right:rolleyes:

I dont think so. Its the truth, if everyone would put aside their differrences and come together and do something about our corrupt goverment we could make some changes but that will never happen.

The reason this country is down is because of all the f'ing illegal aliens sucking billions of dollars away from the economy

just realized how old you are..:rolleyes:

[400exrapes]

the completley boycotting one oil company is a good idea but we would need it heavily publisized for it to work.

[Anvil]

We need to stop looking for easy answers and look within, some of the contributing factors to the cost of oil.

1) America's gross over use of it. (2% of the world's population using 25 % of its oil.

2) China's rapid growth and demand for oil.

3) The Iraq war and it's constant disruption to supply.

4) Oil futures trading on the floors of wall street and all the other stockmarkets are driving the price higher.

[400exrapes]

well what can we all do about the rising gas prices? like could we possibly get everyone from atvriders to do something cause theres alot of people on the site.

[Anvil]

Well for a start ,

stop creating so much demand, 1 in every 9 barrels of oil in the world ends up in US gas tanks, if you think that is ok then the battle is lost anyway. We need to change our oil hungry mentality and stop consuming so much gas.

[quad2xtreme]

Geez, you guys need to change gas stations. All is well down here in NC. :devil:

I snapped this pic recently at a gas station near North Carolina Motorsports Park.

The pic was recent but I am sure the garage has been closed for at least 5 years.

I seem to indirectly control many things on this planet...

I bought a diesel truck when diesel was less than regular...it flip flopped in no time back in late 2003.

I bought energy stocks recently when stock prices kept rising with gas prices. Now, energy stocks are going down but the gas is still going up. I've lost $3,000 in my stock portfolio in the last 5 days.

If all the diesel truck owners would mail me $1, I would sell my diesel truck. This would cause diesel prices to be cut in half within a month. :p And gas prices would go through the roof.

If I bought a bicycle, the government would start imposing a new road tax for bicycles.

I can't win.
