he has a point there
The folks in Europe have been paying through the nose for gas forever. They are used to it. We should consider ourselves lucky. The oil companies are scamming. But if OPEC cuts oil consumption the prices will rise. *****!
We are not Europe so stop comparing the US with Europe You choose to live there so stop you your bitching.
Gas have never been as cheap as it is now.
You get more gas for one working-day today then 50 years ago.
And americans should really shut up, why should you guys have gas half the price of europe, when you depend on import.

You are correct to my thinking. The market is being manipulated.
Who can save us? CONGRESS? THE PRESIDENT?
ANY POLITICIAN?????
chut up

Less moving parts, simple design, batteries held under a patent,
The 2000 Ford Ranger EV NiMH….Ford built, Toyota batteries..
The vehicle Ford wants you to forget about.
we get our gas form fossil fuels- FOS SUL FU ELS u dimqits. Its not going to stick aorund forever. So the less we get on the fossils the hihger the gas goes. simple isnt it.
stuff we dont need like food, and clothes. The price is the result of manipulation. It went up on whispers of peak oil and attacking Iran..then it mysteriously went down during Hurricane Gustav AND the Russian response to the invasion of Ossetia. These were ACTUAL problems. But you still believe it is real. The only reason it continues to decline is that the election is near, and McCain has a chance. You are being lied to. Just like last election.
There is a glut of gas right now there having trouble trying to find places to store it. and demand IS DOWN so what supply and demand theory covers that. I THINK YOU SHOULD PAT $20 FOR A LOAF OF BREAD SINCE YOU WILL WASTE YOUR MONEY ANY WAY
People, Please quit bitching about your Fucking gas prices. If you did’nt spend your cash there you would blow it on something else you really did’nt need. Get this through your skull – Gasoline is needed to keep the economy stable, and when it runs short, the price must go up to keep from extra-cirricular waste! Try crcking an economy book, or any book for that matter. Learn about things and how they work
Enough is enough. I have had it with these motherfucking gas prices at these motherfucking gas stations. Everybody strap in, we’re about to open some fucking offshore oil wells.
ur so right on crooks in gov’t. Phil Gramm brokered the deregulation of mortgage industry to get big lobbyist fees from Swiss owned UBS Bank. He also brokered the illegal enron loophole deal, along with bush, cheney & repub controlled congress in 2000 this allow Big Oils & Speculators to set 50% of prices by artificial speculation & gave Big Oil 800 Bil in record profits. Bush gave 4 tril to big business sending jobs outside country. Lost Jobs, Lost Homes, Prices out of control = depression
dont get me wrong some of us americans are so dependent on vehicles to get from one place to another i can understand going to work but some americans are lazy
hey all u people from euro how much do u drive and how big is ur Town where u live in???.. compared to the amount of driving u guys do in a month ours is wayyyyyy more cuz we can’t walk to everwhere like u do.. so bottomline is we pay less and drive more.. u pay more and drive less!!! so there u go its balanced!! we’re all fukeddd…
In Norway the price is 10.48 per gallon. I don’t see your problem…
why doesn’t everyone in the usa go down to the white house and protest get bush impeached and the rest of his organized crime ring gas is finally come down bc people can’t afford to drive and reserves are more then expected bc of the bs prices now they will go up bc oh there is a hurricane enough of this organized crime called bush admin and his mission accomplished of making oil go up so much and he does raise the price he brang the us dollar to all time low hethreatning iran and invaded iraq
What such a protest make any difference??
What would happen if this Entire country stops driving for 1 day .. .. No americans drive.. Bosses, workers students, etc.. I wonder how much money the oil companies would lose.
motormouth, how can you say 4.50 per gallon is cheap? I guess I should pay attention to your user name and realize you just keep it runnin.
oh..BTW…fuck bush, cheney & the exec administration, **** the Congress (Senate & House) and **** the Supreme Court!
You know that’s right. Try living here in the Un-united States having to hear these whiney bastards and it will drive you insane after a while. There are things that someone can do about this, and complaining isn’t one of them. The days I am off work and if I need to go to the store, I try to walk. Not to mention it will take pounds off you after a period of time. I am glad I never bought an S.U.V. Stick with the ricers. If you hardly drive them you’ll only have to fuel them every other week.
damn americans are such whiney bitches. europe has been paying about 6 to 7 bucks a gallon for the last 5 or 6 years you dont see them bitching, and now it goes up a buck or 2 and we start crying like babies
IDIOTS, lettuce eating hippie liberals aren’t responsible for the high price of gas.
right now alaskan oil is being shipped to asia.
we don’t have enough refineries and many are in bad condition. this is all because of oil companies to keep gas expensive.
if oil is drilled, don’t expect cheaper prices assholes because big oil will sell it to asia.
when bush sounds war alarms, oil prices increase.any potential war will triple gas prices and bush wants us to save a few cents by drilling here?
daniel is a typical ignorant *******.
every time bush threatens another dumb, unnecessary war the speculators get a chance to raise gas prices.
when obama spoke about dialogue with the iranian government, bush drew ****** appeasing comparisons. now bush sent a delegate to listen to the iranians. price of barrel came down.
another major conflict in latin america or middle east by war mongering bush which may make a country like iran shut off supplies will increase prices to 12 bucks a gallon.
