I'm sure ppl have posted about this several times already, but here the gas is over 3$ now and its fukkin bullshit....before u kno it we ain't going to be able to even afford keepin a minimum wage job....or be able to afford to get to college to be able to get a higher payin job.
Is there nothing we can do about this??? anybody have any ideas?? Ive had plenty of those text messages sayin dont buy gas on this day but everyone still buys gas....and even if they didnt would that really help?? Are there any other ways that we could do something to get these damn gas prices down!!

These gas prices are hruting me.
A cause I have a supercharged car and am spending like $40 a week now on gas.
B. My websites are an "extra" expense and less people use them when they are low on dough... from the high gas prices.
Fuck.

No easy solutions.
It comes down to simple supply and demand.
Check out the following link but be prepared to do some reading.

Get used to it...I wouldn't be surprised if gas goes over $4/gal this summer, especially if something happens to the GOM oil production areas.

Curb demand - then you curb price.
Unfortunately, the whole world is using more gasoline, especially China. If you wanna blame someone, blame the yellow man.

I don't know if you follow hurricane season much at all, but it's looking like it could be another big slammer this year

Gas is getting pretty ridiculous. It's causing 'fuel surcharges' to be added to all materials on our jobsites. Everything that doesn't have F.O.B. included anyways.
I've adjusted by...
Using less gas.
Investing in oil and gas.

Oil consumption:
#1 United States: 20,730,000 bbl/day
#2 China: 6,534,000 bbl/day
Population:
#1 China: 1,319,000,000
#3 United States: 301,950,000
Usage per Person:
United States: 0.068 barrels per day
China: 0.005 barrels per day
The US still uses over 13 times as much oil per person as they do in China...they've got a long way to go

The countries in the middle east really don't have industrialized economies to use all the oil they're sitting on, which is why they sell it to countries that do have industrialized economies. By controling the surplus of oil in the middle east we effectively choke out competeing economies. We're losing that control and will continue to.
As china's economy continues to pick up, we will see our oil & gas imports reduced. To fill the shortage the prices will rise and domestic oil & gas plays will get bigger and bigger. New technologies have allowed us to bring previously unproducing shale plays to the market place such as, the Barnett Shale.
Seriously, invest in domestic oil & gas companies on every level. Stay away from refineries because demand will most likely remain the same for quite some time. Where the oil comes from is what will change.

YES THERE IS!
They are that high because people are still willing to pay for it at that price. People would rather buy just as much gas and bitch about gas prices than drive less.

I am praying for a war in the Middle East or tons of hurricanes to knock out the oil rigs in the gulf coast. The energy company that I invested in has all of its shit in the continental United States

I just bought a Prius hybrid... 
I simply cannot justify driving a car that gets less than 45 MPG. It makes me physically angry, and causes me stress. I cannot wait to see how well the Prius does on gas.

It's weird when you stop at a red light... it's so... quiet.
Good choice

Well, I just got a call from the service dept. at the dealership. My car started acting up after I filled up. I paid $3.15/gal for water. I only drove a few miles before I put it in the shop and the repairs are going to be nearly $800.
They're paying for the damages and my rental. They can deal with me or my lawyer. I'm so pissed right now. I'm gonna wait til I calm down before I try to handle this.

Petrohawk. I bought it at around 13 dollars before it dipped down to 11 but now it's above 15.
I also have ALTI but that company is kinda pissing me off because they are blowing money on research. I also had lthu before it tripled. Didn't make much though, waiting for it to lower and then buy again.
