Title: gas prices are making me mad!
Post by: DEBKARLAR on May 10, 2004, 07:30:20 PM
$2.01 here, and with all the unrest in Iraq and such I'm afraid it's going to be a very long summer.

For all those Americans who don't understand Euros and Liters, Sam is paying ~ $5.40 to $5.50 US per gallon.

I think we can all be thankful the Marxists haven't quite taken over everything in the US yet. Let the schadenfreude begin...

Hi Jeff,

I don't know how you arrived at the different figure. Did you remember to multiply by 1.2 for the €1.20 per liter ?

I am using 3.8 liters per gallon and 1.185 dollars per euro (from http://www.oanda.com/)

But either way, I think we can agree: Sam is paying out the whazzoo.

If we were all living Marxists socialism we would all be driving hydrogen powered cars that never break or fall apart during the first 20 years after production.  The cars wouldn't cost a penny to purchase.  Crime as we know it wouldn't exist.  We would live in a classless society where everyone is truly equal (no not in the "We're American, and we have equality" hypocritical way).  There would be no government to control the masses.  We would be a self-governing people, all working for the betterment of our brothers and sisters, our friends, and our neighbors...  I think we can all be thankful that the capitalist regimes still rule the world and run it with their iron fist...

LATEST NEWS.

DEN HAAG - Shell heeft dinsdag de prijs voor een liter autobrandstof wederom fors verhoogd. Het olieconcern schroefde het tarief met 1,6 eurocent op. Een liter euro ongelood komt daarmee op 1,299 euro. Diesel kost nu aan de pomp 0,875 euro.

i translate....

shell makes the prizes for gas higher. 1 liter gas is now €1.229 a liter, and diesel is now €0.875 a liter( in euro's)

and for all of you..... we are not living in a Marxists socialism country. its real democratic over here. its legal to smoke grass here ;)

The way I see it is there is no excuse for not having alternative fuel choices. Well other than the fact Bush and his buddies have to make their $$$ >:(

Sam,

Nothing about democracy prevents the foolish from voting the Marxists into power--especially in a multi-party democracy. Only a Marxist society would tax the productive members of society to provide prostitutes for the unproductive.

a_playa,

Apparently, you do not drive an F350. When I bought mine, my best friend predicted I would be able to pass anything but a gas station. At sixty cents a liter, it takes a hundred dollars canadian to fill the thing. At current prices, I am lucky if I can fill only one of its tanks for that price. lol

Element,

You seem down. Cheer up, eh!  :)

Humanity is not really any more sickening than any other species. Western society just has this whole self-loathing thing going on right now, and it's not healthy. The first world war ended more than 85 years ago; it's time for us to get over it already.

I was outside doing some yardwork this afternoon. The sun was shining. The air was warm. The leaves were opening. I could see some really tempting walleye from the end of my dock.

The world is still there, and it's not such a bad place.

Yes Bob the weather was lovely today in my neck of the woods also. It was so nice I decided to take off from work tomorrow to enjoy the weather. BTW, I'm going fishing in a little bit. Fishing a cold beer out of my fridge that is. LOL  ;)

We were at 80 degrees this last weekend and they are now predicting snow for Thursday.  This isnt unusual for Wyoming.  I miss my hot weather thats for sure... Summer = 3 months.  Winter = 9 months.

$5 a gallon? I find that extremely difficult to believe.

Title: Re: gas prices are making me mad!
Post by: Homer on May 11, 2004, 04:20:13 PM
I would like to see proof. I don't believe gas is $5 a gallon in Oregon. I recently read an article that said the national average was $1.73/gallon with some places breaking $2 a gallon. Surely you can post a link to a news article on this because if it were true it should be in the national headlines.

I filled up this morning it was $2.00.  While I was there they were getting ready to change it to $2.09.  Not looking forward to these gas prices when I go on vacation in August.

May not be any vaction here this year, at this rate all the money would get eaten up paying for gas. Still wating for wordlife to show us where to go to find out more about these $5 a gallon gas prices in Oregon.  ::)

Take the bus!  It's so much cheaper... I've saved myself 100's of dollars in the 2 months that I've bought a bus pass...  Or carpool... Then you cut the cost of gas into a fraction of the price...  There are alternatives... Bike, run, car pool, city transportation...

I believe it works that way on every major airline. One of the perks they give you for working for them. ;)

Yep Homer your right!!  I got a friend who works for an airline and her and her family all get to fly for free.  Lucky them!
