Oil Now $111.00 Per Barrel

[Brett]

This is getting out of hand.... Just a few weeks it was in the low $90 range which was still high but in the past 2 weeks its gone up about $2 per day and each day closes at a new record high.

[sirkus]

I feel bad for who ever owns a diesel truck. Is there a good reason for high gas prices this time?

[Sammich]

no...just greed

[EJ25RUN]

whats sad is we might reach $200 before year is over.

[EmminoDaGreat]

[TIGERJC]

you think that race gas wont go up in price? lol.
of course it will, but not at the rate of gas. How much of race gas is made up of synthetics?

[EmminoDaGreat]

Im just telling you it will never be cheaper.

[TIGERJC]

Im just telling you it will never be cheaper.
Sarcasm off , how about you pm a estimate on how much u guys will charge to make sure my turbo adapter doesn not leak (easy money)

[Brett]

$4 gas is coming by the summer, Im tellin ya and then we wonder why our economy is tanking, Gas has a part in this

[Sammich]

$4 gas is coming by the summer, Im tellin ya and then we wonder why our economy is tanking, Gas has a part in this

HUGE PART...i mean gas i a REAL bill now man. its like what...$50/fillup now in the maxima and like $40 from E in my truck...:wtf:

[Brett]

Thats what Im sayin, Its getting to the point where gas is going to be a huge burden each month and keep people from spending on pleasure items, etc so the recession is a VERY real threat

yea wife is complainin now...she tried to b*tch about me buying wheels but then realized she spent the same money on clothes last wk

[TIGERJC]

I think al qaeda is now established in Kuwait and in Saudia Arabia, so I believe now is the best time to liberate those peoples:)

[4dmin]

we are screwed b/c they basically have a monopoly; the top 4 refineries are American/British owned. the oil industry hasn't taken losses in years; most have recorded record gains. with the wonderful excuse of the Chinese. i can understand this to a point but China didn't just all of sudden gain millions of cars + drivers in past couple years. our prices are all about GREED. i just heard a study that that hybrid sales have increased 60% ;)

[Sammich]

forget a hybrid...ima fit my 6'3 tall ass in a crx real soon

[thepolecat]

Im not stripping the civic down to go faster anymore- im throwing useless peices out so I can keep increacing my gas milage.- I'm up to 45mpg on the highway in a 94. not bad

[Elbow]

I'm buying a bike

[95alty]

Im going to start having sex with a female marta driver so she can pick me up at the crib and take me where i need to go in style :)

[eViLMunkey]

hell gas prices where I'm at are aroun $4.00/gal I've been riding my bikes to work.. hell at least I'm gettin exercise during this crap, but soon to be drivin my gas guzzler Trooper again since my civic wont pass inspection up here damn I hate MA

[Killer]

yeah... my next move will be as close to work as possible.... i've got a 40 minute drive to and from work.. and i drive a montero... which averages 14-16 city....... MAYBE....

it costs me right around 70 bucks to fill up too.... i need a bike and a crx and i'd be happy... (only problem is i take my dog to work with me... so i may need something bigger)

[eViLMunkey]

last time I filled up the trooper in sept it cost me $110.00 and I haven't driven it since I just added Sta-bil and parked it

[Brett]

damn $110

[TRAYZ06]

Time to really start looking at alternative fuel options. Biodiesel, Ethanol, hydrogen, etc.

[NAIZBST]

buy a honda ruckus

[eViLMunkey]

I just need to fix my hatch and get it back on the road or just move back to GA so I can drive the hatch and ditch the trooper but my bikes fit in the back of the trooper (bikes = my BMX and Mtn. Bike) plus I need to still get my license back AGAIN.. can't seem to hold onto it...

[silversol]

its not that the price of gas is going up, its that the value of the us dollar is going down. last time i checked the dollar was worth 1.51 against the euro!

[Crazy Asian]

US dollar will soon be toilet paper to the Euro, and the Euro dollar is gonna be the new US Dollar. Pitiful. I wonder how the next president is goonna handle this pos, cuz if it starts to slump even more...IM MOVING TO JDM LAND OR KOREA!!!

[DieselNuts]

I think Im gonna start riding a bike to work. Not a crotchrocket, but a mountain bike. 11 miles isnt too bad...

Uh, yes it did. I've been 3 times. In 2002 (first time I went), you were considered wealthy if you're family had a car. 1 car to share!. I just got back again in feburary, and everyone in my fiances parents neighborhood now has a car. In 2002 there might of been 10 cars in the whole neighborhood. There used to be almost no middle class. Now it's exploded, and their middle class is growing like crazy. I can't believe how much it's changed in the past few yrs.

To make matters worse India is almost growing at the same rate.

Here's an article for further proof. Written in Canada in case you think the US government is bull****ing us.

[The Ninja]

no...just greed

Wrong. Opec is raising the prices because of the weakening dollar. The white house is full of douches that don't want to talk about the weakening dollar either.

[Sammich]

so why is the dollar weakening? cuz of greed...why is gas rising? because of the weakening dollar fed by greed

[The Ninja]

Dollar is weakening because the rest of the world is doubting we have the potential to pay back the serious debt we are in. Gold doesn't back our $, faith does. If no one has faith in our $, then it will weaken. Greed is definitely playing a role, and probably a 20-30% role in why **** is ****ed up.

[The Ninja]

so why is the dollar weakening? cuz of greed...why is gas rising? because of the weakening dollar feeded by greed

Not a f*cking word.

instead of "Operation Iraqie Freedom" we should of done "Operation Iraqie Peace for Oil" :lmfao:way more catchy and possilby we could of recouped the 500 billion dollars or so spent

[Ran]

I'm buying a bike:werd: Having just picked up a gas-sucking V8, a cruiser seems to be in order.

[JITB]

im buying a 85 goldwing
http://www.dallas.net/~jsides/goldwing.gif

[blacknightteg]

i wonder if the value of our dollar will ever go back up, or if our country is just goin to go bankrupt one day lol

[blaknoize]

Cuz bush is leavin office and getting ALL he can. But I drive a ****ty EF so I could care less bout gas bitches. It still costs less than 35 to fill up

[Papa_Smurf]

still, $35 to fill up our EF's is getting to be too much.

for people who have minimum wage paying jobs, the price of gas is already a burden.

[MistaCee]

Yes this is getting bad. They need to do something about cash. My pops a truck driver and has his own authority, the prices for loads are not going up but the gas is...

[The Ninja]

:werd: Having just picked up a gas-sucking V8, a cruiser seems to be in order.

You're just rackin up the redneck points aren't you?

[gijeff1805]

well apparently sometime this year the govt is sending everyone a $600 dollar check to go spend on things to help boost the economy or something or another

[Papa_Smurf]

^ thats like 2 months worth of gas...lolol

[collins]

i wonder if we can go hit up honda for a group buy on their little "next generation crx"?

[4dmin]

i wonder if we can do a group buy on gas... hmmmm maybe we could start a giant group buy on gas like buy 20$ get 5$ free... :thinking:

[JConner]

and we could solve all of this if the democrats that get money from the Sauid's would allow us to drill for oil in ANWR!!!!!!! The elderly liberal Floridians are so concerned that they might possibly see an oil rig out of their window....which isn't even possible because the Earth is ROUND!

[JConner]

This country is ****ed until Citizens elect politicians that don't have ties to big business. Corporations and the elitist run this country and I really hope that ppl will eventually see this. I think there should be a cap on campaign spending, and candidates should only be allowed to debate on live television and not be allowed to have commercials/ internet ads.

I know I am a dreamer, this will never happen

You need to join the debate over in the Wallstreet forum. You are one of those people that think "big business" is sooooo evil and bad for america?

No, there should not be a cap on campaign spending.....the candidates have worked hard for that money and should be allowed to spend whatever money they want to. People should not be punished for being RICH! The rich get richer because they keep doing what made them rich. The poor get poorer because they keep doing what made them poor (NOTHING!)

This is the reason why this country will never again see a decent president. Work hard??? Candidates mostly get their money donated to their campaign by special interest groups, Corporations and by regular citizens. Some candidates spend a lot of their own money like Romney. The presidential race is basically what politician slept with what and how many special interest groups/ Corporations to get the funding to have all those tv ads/ publicity . I don't give a fu.ck about who is rich or who is poor, but when candidates have to payback those special interest groups and corporations with favors once he or she is elected, this is why are country has so many damn problems

[Hulud]

its 109.75 in asia


i love how everyone in this thread thinks they have the answers, yet no one in this thread works in the oil industry or stock market....

[nightracer]

no...just greed
There is no ****ing reason on earth for oil prices to be this high other than gluttony, treason and fascist inspired greed. No Republican or PetroComp rhetoric can explain oil prices jumping $2 and $3 a day when absolutely nothing is happening. I'm sick of this bull**** lets get somebody with more than 12 brain cells in office. I do not want someone who walks on their IQ score representing me in the white house, to the UN or for the Petro Companies to Opec.

I am not getting a check cause I am still claimed by my parents. I wouldn't spend the money anyways, i'd just throw it in one of my savings accounts.

[blacknightteg]

as long as you pay and file for tax's your goin to get a check i think. i am still livin with parents and claimed but have a job and make my own money. Im not gettin a lot, just like 300 dollars

[gijeff1805]

well i do own my own business and pay taxes....but i think you have to make X amount to qualify...which being in college has not allowed me to really make **** for the year.

If someone pays me enough, i'll take out Bush...even if it's by the time he is out of office.... he deserves it either way.

Wrong. If you are claimed as someone else's dependent, you will not be recieving a stimulus check.

As found from:irs.gov (http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=177937,00.html)



Q: I know some people won’t get a stimulus payment. How do I know if I’m one of them?

A: You won’t get a stimulus payment in 2008, if any of the following apply to you:





You don’t file a 2007 tax return.
Your net income tax liability is zero and your qualifying income is less than $3,000. To determine your qualifying income, add together your wages, net self-employment income, nontaxable combat pay, Social Security benefits, certain Railroad Retirement benefits and certain veterans’ payments.
You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. For example, this would include a child or student who can be claimed on a parent’s return.
You do not have a valid Social Security Number.
You are a nonresident alien.
You file Form 1040NR or Form 1040NR-EZ, Form 1040PR or Form 1040SS for 2007.

[Brett]

and last I checked they don't require catalytic converters
Some people who are supposed to compete in 5 months in the Olympics there are refusing to go due to they fear the pollution when doing thier races, etc.

China is suggesting the wear masks all the way up to the event, do thier thing then put it back on, Thats how bad they know thier air is

GREED?????? It is basic economics! They have a product and we have a demand for that product so the oil companies can raise the price to whatever they want and we will still pay for it. I don't blame them for making a profit, thats business.

[Doppelgänger]

that's a very ignorant statement.

... for a very ignorant forum.
