Try $3.24 over here. it's insane how fast it jumped. Fortunately I don't have a gas guzzler. If your car gets15 miles a gallon or less, well good luck my friend. Perhaps it's time to rethink the whole big cars cultulture here in the states.
Well, apparrently I am an idiot. Back at the end of 04, I bought an 05 GMC Sierra, but the special edition with the aluminum block that gets 1-2 MPG fewer then the stock v-8, but produces about 25 more horses. It's fully loaded, and I love it, but it has AVERAGED me 14.4 mpg. I've thought about trading it in, but I love having a truck, and to get something that would replace it in my heart would cost like 40-50k.
What's even worse, I live about 1 mile from where I work, so I could walk to work (my wife could too), AND I have a motorcycle that gets a good 45-55 MPG. My wife makes me wear a helmet and it messes up my hair. So I still drive the truck.

Gas prices in California are out of control. It just went over 3.50 a gallon by my house. The scariest thing is it’s not even June yet. Doesn’t gas get more expensive in July and August? :Flush:

Yeah, the west coast is the worst in the country.
I'm on the west coast and it sucks!

You might be right about the other stuff, but you have to be kidding about that last sentence, right?Ok, I said I was not joking and your statement sounded as if you could explain this to me. I hear all the time how the Pres. & VP make all this oil money but no one has ever been able to explain how they do so thats why I ask.

Most people who claim how Bush and Cheney are making money off the oil game simply point to their interest in Halliburton...

What interest in Halliburton I thought that Cheney sold all his interest in the Co. back before he ran in 2000 for that reason. Thats why I ask the question because its repeated as fact but no one can explain.

What about that whole behind close door meeting Chaney had with the Energy companies? You know, the one whose transcripts they fought to keep sealed. It reeks of impropriety.

I wonder why we're not hearing the same reports accusing Republicans of fixing gas prices now that the Democrats are in charge? Hmmmmmm...
