You are all whining on about how unfair everything is, just like a bunch of old women. |

Snickrot User ID: 25020489 United States 10/05/2012 03:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fueled up today at $3.38 a gallon. The must not have got the memo. Every other gas station i saw in town spiked their price up $.21 in a matter of hours. The economy is doing great. More green shoots each day. Consumer confidence is great. Unemployment is dropping. Stocks are soaring. Europe is saved. I like flouride. Chemtrails are pretty. FEMA camps sound fun. ~Anonymous Coward 1382145 No nation has ever benefited from prolonged war. ~Sun Tzu |

I hit a local mom and pop place this afternoon after everyone else spiked up. They usually get their info to raise prices about 5 hours after everyone else. lol, probably the next shift driving in seeing what everyone else is charging. The economy is doing great.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24988164 Germany 10/05/2012 03:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | But we don't have cars that get 54 miles to the gallon like we rented in France a few years ago. Why ? I never understood why every boring family-sedan must have a V3 with 300hp in a country with (what i consider) extremely slow speed limits. SO true speedlimit of 55mph wich is roughly 100kmh, but a car with 300 hp that just wastes fuel, and cry about gas prices. Average car in europe has 75hp and goes 180kmh if driven to the edge, a luxus car with 150+hp like a benz or bmw goes 250+kmh. Also we pay 1.70€ per liter. 1€ is about 1.25$, so if u factor that in we it´s funny when u complain about 1.2$ per liter when we pay 2.2$. Get over it also we all know oil prices are scam companies complain all the time about not makeing profit. Oil prices never changed if u ask a oil worker he tells you the pumping prices havent risen in 50 years while the oil price allways goes up at the market. And even if it goes up 1$ per barrel it goes down 2$ the next day the price at the pump stays cause the companies are just all over greedy. |

deano User ID: 25023874 New Zealand 10/05/2012 04:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We are paying around nz$2.15 litre seems to be a tipping point price for us, when it goes higher theres layoffs and business closures, when it stays around two bucks theres prosperity. I hope they dont think that by pushing the price out it will force everyone on to electric, most people i know could never afford even buying a new car let alone electric. If you buy second hand electric you soon need a new battery, and a new battery for an electric car costs a small fortune |

It would make sense if the speed limits were higher. |
