NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Gasoline prices could rise by about quarter a gallon in the coming days to new record levels, according to a published report Friday.

:mad:

............the big anal raping of the consumer continues..........

damn, i just hope and wish to u all americans that gas prices in US matches gas prices in Romania...oh, and medium wages too.... around 4U$ / gallon here...and 200 U$ medium income....

well, we pay $5 per gallon here in sweden, wages are probably pretty eaqual to the US though....

Just heard on fox news.
 

Fox news just reported that barrels might shoot up to $80 a piece. EEEk :helpme

in poland we have $5 per gallon... :helpme

about $6 a gallon in germany - so go crying somewhere else. and stop buying hummers or other cars in the size of an oil tanker. :2 cents:

Feel free to come to the U.K, $6.2ish a gallon.

yeh its fucked over here too

the price of gas would still be 98 cents if the fuc**k government would stop taxing it.

jebus. damn I've been filling up around $1.78 lately.

OPEC got us all by the gnads

That's worse than what I heard on the radio earlier, they were saying 10 cents/gallon increase. As long as the dollar value keeps decreasing gas prices will push what they think the market can support.

it fucking sucks the big one

It's approx 95 cents per litre here...so about 4 bucks a gallon :mad:

Better blame China.

I'm thankful I got a compact jap car now :)

A tank lasts me 3 weeks.

Yea that is nuts. The gas here shot up 30 cents to 2.09 and is supposed to rise the other .25 cents in the next two days :(

wow, you guys better blame the none english speaking ones fast :1orglaugh

seriousley, :1orglaugh

good thing I dont commute to work.

bennies of working for yourself

fuck the oil greedy bastards doing this to us though

Yea it sucks, but what can you do?

soooo true....it sucks.

sell your suv and buy a toyota yaris d-4d
consume will be 4 times smaller, problem solved.

I have the solution for all of you that cannot afford gas prices..

http://www.goped.com my friend Tim owns the company, tell him Media sent you... I reccomend the Super X Ped.. You can get em to go up to about 45mph =)

Yeesh, all you friggin whiners out there complaining about gas prices.

First off, half of the price increase you're seeing is a result of the USD tanking so badly over the last 2 years. You can't lose 25% of a currency's value and expect all your prices to stay static, eventually they're going to have to raise because your paper has become worth less (not worthless). The other half of the price increase is due to a combination of factors, primarily worry about unrest in the middle east and south america, and an alleged inability from traditionally hardcore producers to keep up with global output demands.

Secondly, Gas is by no means the most expensive its ever been by a long shot. Check out the price of gas in inflation-adjusted dollars:

So it's not a 'sky is falling' scenario... but if you're really REALLY concerned about it, all you have to do is end all the wars, increase the value of the greenback and find more easily extracted oil reserves. Simple huh? :thumbsup

I saw something on one of the educational channels regarding gasoline prices in the United States and what affects them. I was surprised to learn that it's state and local regulations concerning fuel additives and emission standards, as well as taxes, that account for the significant price differences in different parts of the US. California, for instance, is about 30 cents higher than the national average right now.

Also, as to prices in the European nations, can anyone inform me as to what makes gasoline so expensive in your countries?

Gas prices will only get higher and higher......... China and India's demand for Oil is growing fast........ :Oh crap

Electric cars will be huge in the next 10 years :thumbsup

:1orglaugh Make that 30 years, there's too much to be made in oil :2 cents:

I love this -- Willie Nelson gets greased. Conservative that I am, I am aware that the surface of the alternative fuels issue has only been scratched.

Also, there is something called Nuclear Half-life Modification Technology which I know NOTHING about, but seems to be a way of nullifying radioactivity in spent fuel. Could this be part of the solution for making nuclear energy safe?

How about hydrogen fuel cells for vehicles? Hydrogen can be safe.

I had a professor in college who claimed to have been paid off for a patent on photovoltaic roofing shingles by a consortium of energy companies.

I better shut up -- "the man" may be reading this :pimp

Kyoto treaty anyone?

Can't you people figure any of this out? Here we have a president whose family ties in the oil industry go back half a century, the fucks in his administration own hundreds of thousands shares of stocks in oil companies and there's your answer. There's a reason Bush won't unleash the countries oil reserves. Another ass fucking by Bush.

It'd be nice if in the usa we had better mass transportation, but they don't seem to want to build it here like it is elsewhere.

How else do you think you pay for all this war?

I just got home : paid 2.25/gal i think

Thats just great. :(

i'm so goddamned sick of this shit. i love internal combustion engines, torque, and loud exhaust. but i'm really about to give it up.

So true. When the situation starts to become critical then they will start rolling out alternatives.

Too bad Bush doesn't take the same attitude with this as "fixing SS before there is a crisis".
