The Price of Oil Makes Me Laugh and Cry at the Same Time...

[politicallore]

It's sad, sick, and fucked up at the same time...

I was at the pump today... Filling up the tank (it's not a gas guzzler...) and my anger turned into sickness.... then it turned into a nervous laugh... The Laugh Grew.

1. Today in the Detroit area I paid $4.19 a Gallon

Fortunately I don't have to drive a lot so I spent $10.00 It infuriates me what they are doing to us!

2. I know... I HAD to switch to regular.... my car dosn't like it

7. how many gallons is your tank...?

premium is generally 20 cents more per gallon than regular...for 12 gallons that would be $2.40.

if your car needs premium, you'd be better off getting that, and putting a couple pints less in the tank.

12. It does not need it.... It just likes it.... you know...

It's just a V6 camaro.

I am always torn though... because I do get better MPG with mid grade...

3. It's hard.

I generally check www.gasbuddy.com when I'm planning to buy gas. We very rarely drive, so luckily we can stretch a tank for 5 or 6 weeks.

4. $4.55 was the Lowest Here. A few are over $5 for High Test

5. Imagine if you have collector cars,I'm using one as a daily driver

because it get better mileage than my SUV. The thing that stinks is that each vehicle needs at least 76-90 to fill them from empty. :mad: I know its going to be a dismal summer with car shows because of the costs. A lot of charities will lose out as many people just park their vehicles.

6. Look at the bright side

Its great for the environment as it will reduce the use of fossil fuels. In fact, a true environmentalist should welcome these prices.

8. true environmentalists have been calling for these prices for years.

9. Do the environmentalists walk to work?

What about the person that has a minimum wage job and has to use a huge percent of his income to get there. Think the environment is important to them?

10. apparently not.

but then, americans have really perfected that "me first" attitude that the rest of the world loves so well about us.

[sandyj999]

11. Yes that is a problem with many. n/t

14. I hope they plan on buying a car for those that can't afford new ones.

Its nice to talk about getting away from fossil fuels but many people out there cannot afford to purchase a wiz bang car that needs expensive batteries or other gizmo's to keep it going. Don't even mention a used one because thats worst come battery time.

16. when people's monthly gasoline bill exceeds the monthly payment on a new electric...

more people will make the change.

and those days will come.

13. Definately...

15. I love these prices and that all the profits are doled out to a small group of individuals.

They must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Take that you tree hugging hippies!!!!!
