Gas went up 35 cents in 7 hours today

[lizziegrace]

Must be the hurricane...

[SPKrazy]

1. yeah and the hurricane has caused problems in the production

of gas that is in the tanks that you are pumping from already :eyes:

what a racket

[lizziegrace]

3. I love always buying on futures (but only the negative ones...)

:eyes:

[Parche]

9. Its A Gas

I always thought it was because of the Refinery shortage, because you know they havnt built a new one in years.....and because Anwar is not in production, and because its always high in the Summer time, just because, and the biggest reason is the mating habits of the Rat Tailed Maggot Fly.
:sarcasm: :sarcasm::sarcasm:


:crazy: :silly: :argh: :hi:

2. I filled-up yesterday

[lizziegrace]

4. I wish I had filled up this morning

:(

Gas always goes up here on Thursday morning and it drops on Monday. I didn't factor in the hurricane.

[Auggie]

5. Did the same thing before Katrina hit.

[GOPisEvil]

6. Um, oil prices went down by a $1 a barrel today.

Looks like Dean is missing the oil platforms and refineries in the Gulf of Mexico.

As for why prices are going up...:shrug:

[lizziegrace]

7. we're screwn?

:shrug:


:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

11. Pretty much, yep.

:hi:

[Broken_Hero]

8. its up 7 cents since yesterday...

and yesterday...it was 10 cents more, than it was on friday. SW MO here...

[taterguy]

10. Gee, if only we had some warning that gas prices were volatile

Oh wait, the first gas price crisis was over 30 years ago. People have had that long to plan accordingly. Some folks choose to live close to where they work and shop.

Some folks choose to live far away from those things.

They have the right to make that choice but I don't have much sympathy for them when it comes back and bites them on the ass.

It would be like me complaining about a hangover after drinking a case of beer. Gee, if only I had some warning that there would be consequences for the choices that I made.

If only.

[EstimatedProphet]

12. If only you worked at a facility that was 30 miles away from the nearest town...

I'd love to live closer to work. Not my fault the built the base in the middle of nowhere.

[lizziegrace]

13. Excuse me?

I make too little to afford a place near where I work. Not having a car and not driving is not an option. I have so little disposable income to work with that 35 cents a gallon is a big deal.

I also have had asthma since infancy and cycling isn't an option either. Oh wait, it *is* my fault and I'm a weak person. Silly me...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. Don't worry about it, lizzie.

:hug:

[huskerlaw]

14. Gee, if only some people didn't assume

that everyone else had the same options he did.

:eyes:

[nosillies]

16. Ahhh, if only pure self-righteousness could be converted into cold hard cash...

Then YOU would be able to buy me one of those $500,000 homes within walking distance of our jobs.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

17. Wow, I wish I lived in a podunk town where everything was close by.

:eyes:

[fudge stripe cookays]

21. .

We couldn't afford to buy a house closer to the city, and I have MS, making cycling approximately 20 miles a complete non-option. Especially in 102 degrees.

What now, Mr. Know-It-All? We have had one Honda Civic for 7 years of our marriage, and have carpooled everywhere. We only bought a 2nd vehicle last Friday because I am moving to Milwaukee while he stays here for awhile to sell our house.

Take your smug superiority and please stuff it. Not everyone can be as liberally perfect as you.

[alarimer]

15. Funny though that none of our oil rigs are in the path

and none of our refineries are threatened

(I am just assuming that the rigs they evacuated in the Bay of Campeche were Mexican and not American- I might be wrong)

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. It was Pemex who shut down the refineries.

Haven't heard anything yet about ours in the Gulf.

[Connonym]

19. they're fucking with us just because they can

there's no other logical explanation to the random way gas keeps jumping and dropping. Fucking with our brains and slowly easing us into not rioting in the streets when gas hits 5 bucks a gallon
