GAS PRICES....WTH :angry:
Thenasty:
In the past 1-2 weeks, it climbed $.65+ and still climbing. It is now $3.25-$3.50 in Northern NJ. :angry:
I hear that by Summer, it will be around $5.00+ a gallon. :banghead:
For those who work and drive to work, We should get a RAISE TOO..................
pointdablame:
We still have relatively cheap prices in NJ so we shouldn't be too upset. Be glad you're not in California or Hawaii.
EDIT: Not to mention, the folks in Europe and much of the rest of the world will probably yell at us soon for our super cheap $3.50 gallons :)
Howard_Casto:
You want cheaper fuel prices? Pressure the goverment and your local businesses to support alternative fuel sources.
If you were driving an electric car you would be paying roughly 10-30 cents a "gallon". ;)
The fact of the matter is, in terms of oil there are only like three companies in the world that actually pull a substancial amount of crude out of the ground and because they aren't owned by nice guys and aren't based in nice countries, you can pretty much expect gas prices to fluctuate on their whims.
So the real solution isn't to complain about gas prices, it's to slowly but surely get the country converted over to alternative fuels.
That being said, the federal goverment could be doing something to pressure the oil companies, but when gas is already 5 times as much in Europe it makes it hard to have any leverage.

I work for Ford Motor Company. We are currently curtailing production because of the oil prices. Everyone in thier repsective countries need to contact their lawmakers and let them know how the price is affecting you. In the U.S.A., price speculators drive up the price here. A camel farts the wrong way in the middle east and the speculators drive the price up. Speculators dont even take delivery of the oil, they just buy, sell and trade it. A little know fact in Chicago, Illinois U.S.A., not one single oil speculator is a consumer of oil, ie; gasoline. they all use public transportation because they even say they wouldnt want to pay the price for gas. I will try to find a link to the story about the speculators. The U.S.A. gets 90% of its oil from Canada, Gulf of Mexico and South America. i dont know why we let the speculators drive the price up because of middle east turmoil. Those folks have been fighting for 1000 years and they are going to fight for the next 1000 years!
