    I'm beginning to think it is a plan by high powered Middle Easterners to weaken our economy and open us up for a bigger fall. Prices shouldn't be so high a barrel for oil. Conspiracy!

    Who cares ! It will be at $6.00 before you know it. Maybe this will make the car manufactures do something other than give into the big oil. Stop buying cars that will be the only thing that will make this change.

    STFU PIG

    YOUR OH SO HIGH GAS PRICES ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO THE GERMAN ONES

    WE ONLY GET 1 liter (1/4 of a gallon) and have to pay 1,50€ which is about $1,50!

    NOW COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT!

  34. 34

    Oh, and to those proposing we stop using foreign oil and use earth friendly alternatives… What the hell do you suggest? Especially for those who are in the lower income bracket? They can not afford new cars that run on god knows what. The people who are complaining are the ones who are getting screwed: the people who can't afford either. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
    It's a great idea, but I don't see anyone coming up with any actual solutions.

    Re: kim
    Wow vote for someone who wants to raise the taxes on oil companies and who doesn't want to drill for oil in our country that has oil. Why do we have to be dependent on other countries for oil when our own country has it? What do u think will happen to the gas prices if Obama wins this election? The prices will go up even more. The idiot has already said he will raise taxes on the oil companies. Raising the taxes on the oil companies=higher gas prices. The oil companies will have to make their money back their money somehow. So people be prepared to pay even more at the pump if Barrack Hussein Osama wins this election.

    In Norway, one of the worlds largest exporters of oil and gas, one LITRE of gas costs $2.80, or $10.50 for a gallon. Stop whining!

    FIRST…This is all Bush's fault and he's lining his pockets as much as possible before he leaves. SECOND…Eight years of NO leadership has caused the US to look like a bunch of DOPES to the rest of the world..hence, the dollar being so devalued. THIRD…Americans need to wake the fuck up and stop doing 90 mph on the highway in their fucking Tahoes and Escalades! FOURTH…you would swear the media is actively trying to get the average American to blow their fucking brains out over this. People are half scared to death they won't be able to drive, eat, and heat their homes. Good going, assholes! FIFTH…might as well have as much crazy anaonymous sex as possible as this is obviously the end of the world…PARTY UP, Y'ALL.

    THIS IS BULLSHIT! as for you other countries, i feel SORRY for you. i would WALK before i paid $10 for gas. but seriously… even $4 for gas is DISGUSTING. this is AMERICA, we should NOT have to pay that much! NOBODY LIKES GEORGE BUSH, THIS IS ALL HIS FAULT. he's made all these other countries HATE us when the truth is, we hate him too! GO OBAMA FOR 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Re: Georg
    I'm a republican but I'm not a fan of President Bush. I would like to know though how the rising gas prices is his fault. Is the president supposed to make companies sell the gas at lower prices? If u want to blame the president for the gas prices, don't stop with just him. Blame the entire government bc this problem could have been solved a long time ago if we had started drilling in the US for our own oil. We have oil here. We don't need to get it from other countries. Oh wait the deomocrats in congress are supposed to be "enviroment friendly". Even though most of them have huge houses that use a lot of energy, they are still "eniroment friendly." They want us to have environment friendly cars. It would be nice if everyone in the US can have an environment friendly car but the fact is a lot of people won't be able to afford them. We need to stop getting oil from other countries and drill here in the US

    go to youtube and type in 'car that runs on water'…CARS CAN RUN ON WATER!!! hydrogen technology in a bottle!!! america had a prototype version built by an american manufacturer but big oil came in in the form of the us government and shut it down, but no worry…JAPAN IS BUILDING AND MASS PRODUCING THEM SOON!!! FUCK YOU OIL!!! OIL AND WATER DON'T MIX JUST LIKE GEORGE W. BUSH DOESN'T MIX WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!

    and if you think there is any co-relation between high gas prices and this country being run by a corrupt oil man from a corrupt oil family you are right…STOP FOOLING YOURSELF!!! someday you will understand just how stupid you really are…

    actually…. a litre is a lot less than a gallon… there are about 3 litres in a gallon so in the UK we are paying nearly £4 for a gallon which is $8!

    What are you guys bitching about, up here in the land of milk and honey Canada (Happy Canada Day tomorrow everyone) its $1.40 a litre and its going up again tommorow another 2 cents a litre because our stupid province BC,tacked on some bullshit called Carbon Taxs. Man,its all a scam,goverments are laughing their heads off,especially Saudia Arabia

    Good. Gas prices have been artificially low in this country for far to long. Compared what the rest of civilized world pays 4.00 is cheap. There needs to be a major shift if how we choose to live our lives in this country. Mom does not need to drive a Yukon 50 miles each way to work because it looks good. Dad does not need to drive the F150 when the subway will take him to the same place.

    Along with our conspicuous consumption we also need to address the failed economic policy of this administration. The weak dollar does nothing to stabalize futures of anything, be it oil, natural gas or agricultural intersest.

    Gas prices will never be "cheap" again and they shouldn't be. Change your habits people.

    Re: AgentGiggles. – Good point - the poor, particularly the poor who own SUVs and live far from shopping and work, are suffering most. So why not invest in a real bus system? Trains are expensive and take too long to build. Let's use what we've got, roads. US taxpayers have been subsidizing car and gas companies, which fuck us over all the time, by building roads so their products can be used. Well, fuck those people, lets start using those roads for we the people! Buses! Buses should be clean, safe, frequent, and go all over the country, to every little town, every neighborhood. If Mexico and Costa Rica can do it, why can't we? Demand buses! Safe, clean buses that have useful routes! The crappy bus system we've got sucks, but it's a beginning. We spend US$100,000 a MINUTE for the stupid war in Iraq (and do you think the oil companies we're subsidizing with our money and blood are going to give US taxpayers a break on oil? HAH). We could be building a new bus every minute! Or hire two bus drivers ($50K a year is a good salary in most of the country, right? We'd pay more in expensive cities) per minute! We'd have a kickass bus system in a few weeks instead of this stupid, embarrassing war.

    Re: KJ – Dude, if you think the oil economy isn't political, you're an idiot. The "special relationship" between the US and Saudi governments - you really think that has nothing to do with oil? What about the US invasion of Iraq? How about 9/11? How about Hugo Chavez' power base in Venezuela? You honestly think that has nothing to do with oil? What, maybe Hugo is powerful because Venezuelans are great dancers? Try reading something other than celebrity gossip (not that there's anything wrong with celebrity gossip). Perez is smarter than you.

    Alright, sad Americans. Petrol in Britain costs £1.20 per litre. There are 5 litres in a gallon. That's £6 per gallon. At the current exchange rate thats $12 PER GALLON. Would you all shut the f**k up and stop complaining!!!! It costs me $50 per week to fill HALF of my tiny 1000cc car. Blame the stinking motor companies, George (I'd f**k any oil company that woud pay me) Bush, and your own STUPIDITY for paying nearly $100 million PER DAY for the Iraq 'CONFLICT'. You are all f***ed because you are not willing to turn off the television and GROW UP. GAS IS NOT going to get any cheaper. LIVE AND LEARN. LIVE AND LEARN how the REST OF THE PLANET lives.

    We should STOP SELLING FOOD to the oil producers until they start playing ball. You can't grow fruit in the desert! Medicine too. Also, throw all the fucking Wall Street speculators in jail. They are making an absolute fortune over this panic…much of which they are creating with a lot of encouragement from Bush and Cheney.

    I can see some of you are getting it, but an overwhelming majority of you have no clue why gas prices are so f&%$#ing high. It has absolutely nothing to do with George Bush!!! Whether you like the guy or hate him, it's OPEC that controls the supply and in turn the price on a barrel of oil. OPEC is a business just like every other business. It exists to solely to make MONEY!! Does anyone realize that today in Berlin, a gallon of gas costs $9.40 - that's $3.15 a liter!!! HELLOOOOO??? If you want to lower urban gas prices, you should bike, take public transportation or walk your lazy ass to the store - I understand this is not an option for rural dwellers. People get your priorities straight. A GOVERNMENT THAT GIVES YOU EVERYTHING, CAN ALSO VERY WELL TAKE IT AWAY!!!

    I am sitting in an office right now where 17 out of 31 people drive SUV's. We barely get snow and there's not many hills. No one has ten kids either that they need to transport. The 21 year old kid who's summer help drives a brand new Tundra. Most of the family members of our employees drive SUV's as well. I drive a fucking Matrix because I live 30 miles away and watche the fucking news and SAW THE WRITING ON THE WALL. How fucking stupid is most of the US? Oops, I forgot. Stupid enough to vote for Bush once, and fucking mindless enough to vote him in again.
