Tweets from around the U.S. " long lines at gas stations right now!" Panic buying! Fights!

Um is that because you're NOT in California ? Duh

Yeah but your entire country would fit in my back yard

Many people here in the US drive over an hour one way just to get to work everyday. And yes...many are spoiled with their big SUV's and trucks.

My grandson plays soccer for his high school, and there are several games. I drive an hour to his house at least two times a week, then my daughter and I drive an hour to the "away" games. Two days ago I was with her when she filled up with gas for her SUV...her bill was $102.00.

Maybe romney will be elected and then we will drill our own and not buy yours any more. Ever think of that? It would also foil Obama's big plans to Bankrupt the coal industry as well as removed some of the tens of thousands of regulations he has put on all this.

If we're the asshole of the world I guess that makes Canada the hemmerhoid of the world as there you are stuck right to us.

Gas is a commodity traded on the market like wheat or pork bellies. It just so happens to also be a national security issue if it races upwards like commodities sometimes do.
Cities can erupt in violence, businesses can fail and regimes can fall along with this commodity index should it become too volatile. Welcome to the beginning of the end of our entitlement prosperity (that supposedly entitles Americans to non-market forces) should it spiral out if control.

You don't have your own refinieries or oil under your butt.

you do realize what the thread title says correct? apparently "tweets from around the U.S." refers only to california. i know it's shocking, but there is more to the US than the west coast

OP said around the US in his title. Its only CA.

That is only ONE problem your country has.

The gas prices in the US are ridiculously cheap compared to the litre price of approx. 1,75€ Germany, let alone some European countries with even higher prices like the Netherlands or Norway.

I have no clue whatsoever why you should panick due to such laughable prices per gallon in your country, which, by the way, literally controls the world's oil prices by its military might and it's epic financial fraud via a completely manipulated $ value.

I can see Russia from my backyard!!





Hehe..

generally speaking, americans are spoiled rotten. how do you think our government gets away with all the shit they do? as long as americans get their cheap gas, fast food and honey boo boo they have no reason to complain. this coming from an american

Yep almost same price here in Hungary with monthly average income of 400€, that is what... 500 Usd?

So americans should just stop panicking and dump their SUV's that consume 12-15 litres / 100 km while causing at least TWICE the pollution of any car in Europe.

So your cars cause double pollution, you pay HALF price for gas and your income is at least three times the income of say Eastern Europe. So just pull your heads out of your arses and stop panicking!

Per Gallon Per Liter Cng. (+/-)



Premium $4.399 --- +0.000

Diesel $4.399 --- +0.000

Excellent. I filled up both vehicles yesterday morning. I guess my timing was right.

Don't COMPARE Europe to USA. In Europe you have public transportation, buses, trains, taxis, cities are all squeezed in together, you can walk anywhere, stores are everywhere by house, apartments etc. In USA it is requirement to have a car to get anywhere.

wait...

omg omg indians want to breath our air...panic...holocaust

omg omg vietnam wants to attack us....with a small boat full of rusted weapons especially set up for pre...panic...vietnam war

omg omg saddam has mass destruction weapons... panic...war on iraq, oh wait they hadn't any


omg omg 9/11...muslims are so jelouse of us...because we are so intelligent and refined, so unaware of whatever hell sustain our american dream...panic...afganistan etc

but you don't need to enumerate this kind of huge examples of what propels americans.

in america people kill because McDonnals ended apple pie...kill during sales, for a quarter of dollar.

not even the 3rd world country you see so many people dying in violent crimes like in US

FEAR and GREED is what US is founded in

do you really believe americans will comply with heavy recession? is not what they are made for and to ensure to their self as much resources as possible you will end kill your fellow americans

I'm in San Jose, CA and I paid 4.36 a gallon at Valero last night. It's on the news but not armageddon, yet.....

It's called Different Economies Dumbass.

when we use all of yours, mexico's, and ME, then you can buy ours for 10x of what we bought your black gold for ;)

DAYUMM!

I thought Germany was expensive...

by the patriot act..but surely by any good american, you sir are a terrorist mining the fundaments of this great country...shame on you

1 liter = 0.264172052 US gallons

I know, it pisses me off when I read that too. Not only are things more spread out here, for the most part we DO NOT have much in the way of public transportation. In the area where I live unless you are going to a few specific towns, there is no train service. Bus service is awful and sparse. My husband's commute is 120 miles round trip. How many of you in EU have a commute like that?

dude...that the price people report from other countries surely is for unleaded mixed with tons of ethanol and other shit (even in top brand reseller) and that the common unleaded is even over 2 euros
