I think we won't see cheap gas ever again, what really grinds my gears here is how much food prices will climb(they're already brutal enough as it is).

I agree. We are lucky to have it so cheap. Never in human history has energy been so cheap.

A few months ago gas around here went down to $2.95. I just got home a bit ago and saw an average of $3.48 for regular.
Ugh, at least we don't live in the UK. We're bitching about gas prices that are less than 1/3 of what they pay. But the US is a much more spread out country, which requires more driving.
I have a 32 gallon tank in my Bronco that gets 10mpg. Recently got a DUI and restricted license and ignition interlock. Who knew getting a fucking DUI would require so much driving.
I need to get an old Civic or something. The gas I spent last week was on par with a fucking new car payment.

Right now where I live it would work out to about $4.50 a gallon, I don't own a car though. It does impact prices for everything else though I'm sure.

Well of course, gas prices affects everything from manufacture, distribution and other thangz

I guess that stuff is most directly afected by diesel prices, not that they don't follow basically the same trends. I think about 30 cents a liter here is tax so it would work out to something like $3.40/ gallon without that.

Diesel prices mostly, not gas.
Diesel around here has stayed relatively low compared to the recent 50 cent increase in gas in the past few weeks.

Really, oil was under $25 per barrel 12 years ago, now at $100, and we are lucky? Interesting way to look at it.

Yep. I would consider that a minor fluctuation compared to historic prices man has paid for a joule of energy. We were real lucky then, and are still luck now. Maybe Im just a hopeless optimist huh?

Wait till the USD is removed from the world currency exchange standard for crude. Alls need be is a major catastrophic natural event like an earthquake on the new Madrid fault to topple all confidence in the American economy and grind to a hault the economic progression of the world. Then, good luck getting gas for any less than the hymen of your youngest daughter. Wouldn't be a bad idea to prepare for something as such. The seismic calander is 200 years and the madrid fault would crush the heartland of this country.
But 4-5 bucks a gallon is still cheaper than the 15-18 equivilent in Europe or japan.

That is not correct, we pay an average of .47 cents per gallon in state and federal taxes, the federal tax is .18 and the states vary, but the total average is .47.
Also, European gasoline prices are $7-9 per gallon, with heavy tax helping the price move higher.

Also most countries in Europe don't have colonies in the middle east, so we don't get the awesome discounts you get on crude oil.
Not that I care, I don't drive. If anything, it should be higher. Why not 2€ per liter? That would piss off the car owners for sure.

Yeah but i would imagine there's more factors than just "awesome discounts". I mean Europe (or at least England) has such developed transport that to a point, (at least from my perspective) driving your own car is generally more of a preference than a necessity. So gasoline gets labeled as a good for people of higher incomes in those countries and is more expensive.
Although, if anyone can poke holes in that i won't argue it. Just speculation from what little i know about england/economics.
