    Gas Prices Make Record Jump

    That's rough...it's supposed to come back down soon, though..


    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp.../ap/gas_prices

    Supply shortages pushed average retail gasoline prices up more than 15 cents a gallon nationally during the past two weeks, the largest retail price hike on record since the Lundberg Survey began keeping records 50 years ago.

      Sucks, hope they go down ASAP
      My Ex-husband SKULL-BUITRE ran off to Colombia with OUR money and screwed me after I helped him build OUR business.
      He is hiding in Colombia and never paid the settlement $ from our divorce!

        "Phoenix had the highest leap in the nation during the two-week period, with prices jumping 60.42 cents a gallon for self-serve regular. On Aug. 22, self-serve regular averaged $2.1425, the highest price in the nation for that grade. "

        Liars. Gas is pushing $2.60 a fucking gallon here for regular. I guess we don't count as 'part of the nation' anymore huh.

                    1 gallon is like 4 liters right? So at 2.60/gallon thats .65/liter correct me if I'm wrong but over here we pay 1.14/liter so these prices aren't realy that high

                      Anything they will say ... Maybe still 9/11 ....

                      But maybe consider this:

                      In that southern US state and in neighbouring Texas lie huge salt-lined caverns that house America's strategic petroleum reserves. After 11 September 2001, President Bush said he wanted to increase the oil in the reserve from 600 million barrels to 700 million barrels by the end of 2005.

                      This huge cache of black gold would serve as emergency stocks should any unfriendly country choose to halt exports, or should there be a repeat of Venezuela's political turmoil, which hoisted oil prices above $35 in December.

                      Then President Bush stopped adding to the reserve to alleviate pressure on the oil price. In May, he turned the taps back on again and the US administration has been paying top dollars - of more than $30 a barrel - for 11 million barrels of oil. Democratic senator Carl Levin accused the Bush administration of foisting high oil prices on the world.

                      'This administration's actions to fill the [reserves] regardless of the price for oil available to the commercial sector, is a major reason for these high prices,' Levin said in a letter to the US Energy Secretary, Spencer Abraham.

                      http://observer.guardian.co.uk/busin...028320,00.html
                      Don't forget. The whole hawk administration is swiming in oil ...
                      I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                      But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                            our money is worth more than yours. Do the exchange rate first, then cry about the price.

                                Smile. Eventually we'll be totally out of oil supplies and we won't have to worry about high priced gas anymore.

                                  again, are you converting the exchange first, or are you talking about non US currency here?

                                              They are saying 2.60 USD / gallon here so thats .68/liter correct? In Holland we pay about 1.14 EUROS/liter!

                                                        Yeah gas is cheaper in the US / Canada then in Europe by quite a bit.

                                                        I guess cause we produce our own oil over here (alberta) and don't have to pay to export it all in from the middle east.

                                                        Haha just reminded me of that good George Bush quote.

                                                        Good thing we're overseas now!

On Aug. 22, self-serve regular averaged $2.1425, the highest price in the nation for that grade. "

                                                                          Liars. Gas is pushing $2.60 a fucking gallon here for regular. I guess we don't count as 'part of the nation' anymore huh.

                                                                          Then the fix on the main line from the south didnt work so they had to put in a 4 mile bypass in order to get something moving into town.

                                                                          Truckers were waiting 10 hours to fill their tanks in Tucson and motorists were waiting 30-45 minutes to hopefully get gas last week, not a pretty site
