-
it stinks...icant afford high gas :crybaby2:

Mu budget is so tight as it is, they gas prices going up is going to screw me up so BAD. I hate the gas companies and their excuses for raising the prices. I wish we could boycott the stations, but unfortunately we need gas to drive, I cannot take public transportation to get to work, if I do I will need to leave my house at 5 am to get to my office by close to 8 and viceversa in the evenings. Unfortunately pay the price is the best option for me an my family but I will growl and complain to anyone who may listen

The high prices are caused partly by the refineries changeover to the summer gasoline, quite a bit by the speculating on the market, the lack of drilling in and around the US and the oil companies have almost nothing to do with it.
-
darn oil speculators :BangHead: :angry7:
-
The :bs: oil companies are milking more $$$$$ from us again.
-
we cant do anything if you drive you pay the prices no matter what
-
I heard that foreign countries were buying winter gas from the US. Don't know what that actually means. Maybe someone can explain. Anyways that could be the cause of rising gas prices.
-
25% of my paycheck goes toward gas to get to work. It's a vicious cycle.
-
I just paid $105 today. It's tons of fun when I pay over $100 because the machines cut you off at $100. So I have to go through the same process to start filling up again, assuming I want a full tank.
-
i rarely go out now because of the gas price.
-
I wonder if we will ever be able to not rely on foreign oil.

I don't know what we can do but crap we work five days a week and half of it goes to gas so than we have to cut back just so we can keep our homes and electric. Even eletric has gone up and my husband got a cost of living increase of $14 a year so that doesn't help much and I don't have a income except what I do on the internet.
-
The main thing I do is drive only where I need to go and avoid driving to extra places. This keeps my gas budget lower. I carpool as much as possible, too.
-
The only relief we have from the gas prices here is that the grocery store we shop at offers you money off at their gas station if you shop at their store. Because my boyfriend has to drive a lot for work, we generally get 30 gallons free at the end of each month or so. We take gas cans to the station and fill up. I know, they're making money on this promotion somewhere, but the food and gas are necessities and the free gas is nice.
-
The gas prices up and down so much they make me dizzy.....I wish we could boycott....but how will we survive, can we carpool...the person with the van do the driving and everyone chips in on gas, no joy ridding, something...they know they got us....
-
Gas stations are just as tired of high gas prices as we are - they have trouble making a profit with prices this high. They aren't the ones supplying the gas at the end of the day - it's the oil companies which have record profits which are the problem. Unfortunately, short of Congress getting involved and regulating gas prices (which I'm all for, most free market capitalists aren't) I don't think there is anything we can do. :BangHead:
-
I agree that this is one thing government should control at least a little. The prices are out of control and with mno reason. When will it stop????
-
i dpnt know what to do but this is crazy!! :dog:
-
we need new forms of energy to compete against gas
-
Gas prices ar rising almost daily. Right now it is $3.58 in lower South Carolina. I hope the prices will begin to go down.
-
there is nothing you can do, you need it plain and simple
-
just have to get used to it
-
we have to do something Gas prices are crazy but it will have to be alot of people involved for it to work only a few people for the cause is not going to work. The companies would have to feel the pain to really change and make a difference

GAS PRICE'S ARE INSANE
