It'll be nothing compared to what they're gonna clear next quarter

Its 97.9 Pence a Litre here in the UK for Diesel and 95.9 for Petrol.....

Thats roughly £4:45 GBP Per Gallon for Diesel and £4:36 for Petrol.

i wonder how those people sleep at night knowing that people working minimum wage jobs will no longer be able to afford to go to work.

I'm in the wrong fucking job.

Hmm...there's an oil refinery about half an hour away from me.

They don't give a rat's ass. They have us right where they want us - it's truly criminal. But I believe in karma... but I am also an impatient soul

I am seriously going to make it a point to purchase a hybrid car in the future. The less $ I can give them the better I'll sleep at night.

That sucks! I know we in the US don't have it quite as bad as that (but headed there). I live in Calif/LA - where life is horribly inconvenient (to say the least) if you do not own a car (ask Supa - he suffered for a year without one). We are getting stiffed pretty badly here on prices compared to the rest of the country.

Why? Because they can.

DiminutiveRocker said:

Greed, Greed and more Greed.....Sad but True. Those of us who rely on our Cars are screwed senseless for it.

Totally ridiculous!

I am thinking of riding the bus!

so stop driving your cars if possible (notice i said "possible" and not "convenient") or start car pooling and sharing costs. the prices continue to go up because people continue to pay and put up with it.

everybody wants a revolution but nobody wants to start it.

I love how you would ask me or Dr. Rock to fund and build and invent a whole new transit system for LA. In the meantime, we have no other choice than to drive.....

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

you don't have any co-workers with cars? you don't have any friends with cars? seems to me LA is a driver's city. that would mean a lot of people have vehicles. that would mean the potential for car pooling is pretty great.

look, sweets, don't get all pissy with me and pretend that i'm the first person who's ever suggested car pooling. you'll need to get over that shit right quick.

i think gas prices are ridiculous. i'm merely making some obvious suggestions. i'm not asking anyone to build shit so get that straight (if you can). i'm saying take some freaking initiative and do something (if its at all possible) or "quit yer bitching and eat yer pizza," as anna nicole smith would say.

sallysassalot said:

I live and work in different counties so no, I don't have co-workers in my neighborhood. I didn't have a car for 22 months and did the train and bus that whole time, my commute being about 7 hours per day. My commute!. I don't need an education on all the things that can be done AS I HAVE DONE THEM. I already know all this. IN LA YOU NEED A CAR PERIOD!

Get thee off your fucking highhorse.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

um, instead of getting all sorts of salty and prematurely aging yourself right off the jump, perhaps you would fit into the bit where i said (from my first post):
so stop driving your cars if possible

good grief. if the shoe don't fit, don't break your foot to make it fit.

i know you have to walk uphill both ways through blizzards and all but, damn.

Why come in here and state the obvious? We really need you to tell us our options? please. We know what to do. What would be more worthy of discussion is how the oil corporations are raping the US economy for profit.

IrresistibleB1tch said:

They really don't give a damn.....

DiminutiveRocker said:

My boy out in Cali purchased one a year or so ago. 60 to 70 miles per gallon of gas. That is SWEET.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

you need to come together and with a quickness.

i'll come in here and say whatever the hell i wanna say. just because you only want to hear echoes of your own sentiments doesn't mean you're always gonna get it. the bottom line is if you don't like something, work together to fix it. next thing you know you'll be criticizing the montgomery bus boycott because it was inconvenient.

the whole goddamned thread is stating the fucking obvious, now, ain't it? we all know gas is expensive.

and by the way, you've got a fuck-a lot nerve rolling up and telling ANYONE to get off their highhorse.

sallysassalot said:

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

purpledisc said:

purpledisc said:

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Cost me nearly 50 - 60 GBP to fill mine !!!

What car you driving?

purpledisc said:

toyota celica

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Nice !!! I used to have the Mk 1 Toyota Celica, It was shaped like a small Mustang.....Beautiful car.....So sexy.....Had a Triumph TR7 too, That did 28 to the Gallon..Drank like a wino in a vinters....lol.....Now I have Rover 600

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

U want to hear how Californians are getting PLAYED? Check this out. In Cali there is a clean air act which requires every gallon of gas to have this clean air solution in it. In order to add the solution you have to "subtract' gas. In other words a percentage of each gallon of gas you buy is the solution and NOT gas which makes the car function. Anyway.....when I was in Cali my BMW got about 320 highway miles per tank on an 18 gallon tank of gas. When I move to Georgia, where that clean air mess in NOT required in the gas, I'm getting about 500 miles per tank. Add to that the price of gas which averages about 25 to 50cents less per gallon. Isn't that crazy?

VIVA LE SUBWAY!
