Title: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: CA650 on April 12, 2005, 09:02:59 PM I know it's hard to find riding places but it's only making it worst for many that have to drive an hour or two to ride some where, with the the gas prices the way they are.I think that is a nother thing we need to complain about to the government, and not just the atv community but everyone.The thing I don't get is the cost of the barrel hasn't gone up.A bunch of BS if you ask me.
Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: TRX350_On_The_Rack on April 13, 2005, 06:15:20 AM I had to drive all around Fort Lauderdale last Friday looking for gas. I asked one of the gas station owners what was going on and he said America is exporting more oil than importing right now. Our government continues to sell out our country. Is the US becoming the sleeper of the world? These Yahoo's in office better have a backup plan when the other countries come to collect instead of running and hiding, because they will be the first to go when we have a revolution.
Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: MuddyGurl101 on April 13, 2005, 07:39:12 AM The cost of the barrel has gone up very much. Adn the gov't is saying that their is a predicted increase to $108 a barrel by the end of the year. The only thing we can do is hit them where is really hurts.... Get a whole crap load of people to not pump gas on one perticular day. [smiley=Star.gif] But I don't think that will happen. [smiley=Disapprove.gif]

Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: apkkfx400 on April 13, 2005, 11:28:43 AM i agree and disagree, muddygurl-the cost of a barrel has rose significantly lately, but to have a day when no one goes to fill up at the gas station would have no effect on the prices. I might only fill up 1 out of 6-8 days now-it's not like everyone
fills up everyday!! We are at the mercy of the oil/gas industry-all we can do is sit back and hope the price levels off and at best, starts dropping back down one day. Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: MuddyGurl101 on April 13, 2005, 11:31:44 AM Take it from someone going through an extremley boring economics class. You do not fill up everyday but there are plenty of people that fill up everyday. One day extremly effects as long as it is not broadcasted worldwide!
Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: apkkfx400 on April 13, 2005, 12:21:03 PM Not to argue with you, but if we do have a day where no one fills up-how do those people go to work-they'll eventually run out of vacation days-possibly lose their jobs. Honestly, I wish
there would be something that we could do-but we do not have any control on the price of barrels and after that one day of not buying gas, people will have to go back to the pumps!! gery was right, let's blame the sasquatch. Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: TRX350_On_The_Rack on April 13, 2005, 12:26:50 PM The solution is actually simple. You just stop driving needlessly. Buy more fuel efficent vehicles.
Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: MuddyGurl101 on April 13, 2005, 12:30:00 PM The problem is the gas guzzling vehicle sales are getting higher, which proves to the other countries and governments that we don't care what the gas price is.

You're exactly right , They know that you'll have to buy gas sooner than later so it won't matter to them if we all don't buy gas on a certain day. One way that does make sence is for everyone to buy gas from one dealer i.e Shell or B.P or Sunoco. If everyone buys from one dealer then the other dealers would have to lower their prices to get everyone to come there to buy. Maybe there's an underlying factor that I'm not aware of but it seems like that would work better. Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: SoFlaEiger on April 13, 2005, 01:41:25 PM Well, lets see. We definetly could use that line in Alaska...that would help QUITE a bit and the ecological damages would be minimal if the plan follows the way that its been proposed.
We need to stand up for ourselves and let some of these countries that we import from know whats going on. These middle-eastern countries have NOTHING besides oil. We (and other countries) ship them lumber, medical supplies, metals, fabrics and textiles, cars, and a TON of other supplies. WE NEED TO START INCREASING PRICES on these exports until they get the f**k**g picture. hehe :) Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: CA650 on April 13, 2005, 02:15:29 PM Lets not forget our troops fighting in IRAQ a country that unless I'm mistaken we get oil from. If I'm wrong let me know, but that's not right.

to da mtg man and sofla- Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: apkkfx400 on April 13, 2005, 02:21:12 PM so what gas brand do we agree on to start solely buying from-I vote mobil!!
Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: MuddyGurl101 on April 13, 2005, 02:23:50 PM See the problem with that is:
1. People have gas credit cards (And I know when I get low on cash I use the only card that I have which is Chevron) 2. When you are in different places, sometimes it is hard to find just one kind of gas station. I think it would be easier if we stop using one or two gas stations instead of just limiting to one, it would be slow to start but I think that if their is steady support from everyone, people will start getting the point! Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: YFZ450AndyH on April 13, 2005, 02:28:34 PM The rising costs will actually keep people from driving needlessly, and in a way help ease traffic congestion The worst part about it is that there are more gas drive-off's now (people ticked about how expensive it is and refusing to pay). The drive-off's raise the price of gas even more. But, the president and vice pres are getting rich, Im sure.
Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: MuddyGurl101 on April 13, 2005, 02:31:09 PM The government does not make much off of gas anymore. Well not as much as they used to because the barrel price is rising and if they rise gas over $2.50 a gallon, I know that I am going to start taking buses or trains to work. It is starting to become more expensive to ride a bus/train for 6 months than to fill your car up twice.

People stealing gas or people refusing to refuel? Alaska supplies oil to Japan and continues to do so. OPEC is nothing more than American oil companies leasing from the Suadi's for pennies on the dollar. Iraq oil is being sold to Europe and abroad. The oil companies love to spread propaganda and lies about how it's not them, it's the other guy. Reminds me of the President whenever he gets in trouble. Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: gery350 on April 13, 2005, 02:57:48 PM call me stupid but the bottom line is supply and demand. we will never know what the true supply is, but whether we buy from one place or another, dont pump gas one day, or buy smaller cars, our demand will be the same we still have to drive to work,school, etc. we will continue to consume and pay. we have no choice. unless you know of an alternative means of mass transit, the fuel companies rule the world.

And than you have to look at how that money is divided: the oil company, the ship workers that ship it over, customs that inspects it, truck drivers that deliver it, gas stations, stations employees......When you look at the big picture it is not that much!

Not stupid, totally correct. I think supply and demand is the only thing I learned in Economics! Lol [smiley=lecture.gif] Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: SoFlaEiger on April 13, 2005, 03:18:37 PM How come no one mentions that we are the wealthiest nation in the world yet we have extremely low wages? Or that our minimum wage hasn't gone up in ages? Rather than pregnant dog about gas prices (which are going to go up no matter what), why not pregnant dog about WAGES not going up?
I mean, last year, steel prices TRIPLED and the only people hurt by it (directly) were people who used steel. I built trailers for a living so when steel prices went up, I was paying a lot more for the trailers I was building. We complained but no one supported us. Now that gas is going up and its affecting people, everyone wants help. Well, we need to focus on the BIG picture... Prices rise. Wages increase to accomodate price increases. Thats the way an economy should go? Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: MuddyGurl101 on April 13, 2005, 03:22:42 PM Brian did you vote in the last election? We voted on a wage increase and we got it! I think it is up to like $6.25 or something like that for min wage. Anybody know the exact?
Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: apkkfx400 on April 13, 2005, 03:42:06 PM [smiley=Dead.gif]I believe you're right-$6.25, and it is all relative-with the minimum wage increase that will also affect the price of items that are purchased at places such as convienent stores or
gas stations-where people are going to receive a pay increase from the change in minimum wage! I don't believe that minimum wage is going to increase until july-but it will be interesting to see how and what the wage increase will affect as far as prices go-gas prices maybe? doughnuts and beer-oh man, we're screwed. [smiley=Dead.gif] Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: high-jacked on April 13, 2005, 03:54:54 PM Its all a bunch of horse SH*T, everyone wants to Bit*ch and complain about gas going up, but no one wants to stand up for want is right and wrong anymore. What about the thread about everyone from south Florida on up, driving 45 miles an hour to protest rideing area closures, by the time 4000 truck and trailers gett there there will be a sign hanging up thanking everone for there contrubition!!!!!! Lets get a grip people, back in the 70's and 80's SH*T got done becuse people stood up for what they thought was right. You want to make an impact on gas prices???? MARCH ON BROTHER, remember the million man march???? How about all of florida walk for to protest??? The idea about not buying gas for a day is the most insame thing i have ever heard of!!!!! Gas comp's will stand back and giggle there bellys that are full of money at you. Its sounds like someone isnt thinking straight. If everyone that grumbled about gas prices would stand up for them self, GAS WOULD COME DOWN!!!!! I own a bike, and can ride to work in about 45 minutes. Now if everyone that lives clost to work would ride there bike to work, that would eliminate 70% of cars on the road during the day. Now 2 SLOID MONTHS of that crap, just in florida, and we would see a dramitic drop in gas prices, and we would most likely all feel better after that time. I know its not possable for everyone to not drive to work, but for everyone who it is possable for, stand up for your self.

I know its not possable for everyone to not drive to work, but for everyone who it is possable for, stand up for your self. I've been preaching a lot of the same stuff you are... people keep complaining and thinking of ways to make a change.. but when it comes down to taking action... everyone wants to get quiet and watch instead of participate. Not only would riding a bike to work eventually bring down gas prices (maybe)... but it would cause the bike ride to lose weight! Yup I said it... exercise! WOW! LOL. Another problem to buying only from one gas station company is this... THEY ALL GET THIER GAS FROM THE SAME PLACE! The lower priced gas stations are lower basically because of the same concept as "Generic" products. You have the big companies (Exxon, Mobil, etc) and the small (Racetrac, etc). The smaller is cheaper because of the fact that thier gas isnt branded (same concept to why buying store brand vs name brand is cheaper). The generic is cheaper because you dont pay for the "name". Yet, at the same time, both products usually come from the exact same manufacturer. Example: I used to work at an Ace Hardware, our store batteries sold for $1.. but guess who made them.. DURACELL! And we all now how expensive those can be, lol. So... as always... we will all sit here and b!tch like we always do (whether its about gas or places to ride)... but no one will actually take action... same story... different day. Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: MuddyGurl101 on April 14, 2005, 09:04:20 AM That is not true!

USA is still the cheaps place to buy Gas even if the price shoot to $3.00 per gal. Travel out of the US and see those prices at $6.00 to $7.00 per liter. we have been spoiled with low prices and now we are starting to catch up to the rest of the world.. my 02 cents like normal. ;)
Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: high-jacked on April 14, 2005, 11:40:16 AM no offence big-daddy but that is a crappy thing to say. We are not other countries, thats why we get to choose who is in office and we get to vote on many other things that affect us. Other countries money is actually woth something as well, out dollor isnt woth sh!t these days. And with money hungry a$$ hole's that are running this country and spending OUR money on stuped sh!t, its only going to get worse. The gas prices are a combonation of OUTRAGOUS taxes and price gouging a$$ hole's. Lets try to leave other countries out of this, WE are the ones to go help everyone when something happens to there sh!tty little countries, but when something happens to US, where are they????? we export goods to them at dirt cheep prices, but WE pay top dollor to them for there crap, i.e. GAS. times need to change and only we can make a difference.
Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: MuddyGurl101 on April 14, 2005, 11:47:21 AM high-jacked: I agree with everything you said except point.

That why the money hungry governement officials are able to be that way!
Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: big-daddy on April 14, 2005, 11:51:32 AM no offence taken, thats my opinion! no offence high-jacked, but you dont travel much out of the US? theres no Hummers or SUV driving down roads in France or Germany..Think about how your fuel conservation efforts benefit the Earth and future generations.
Scientists say global warming and its projected disastrous effects on weather, rising sea levels and heat deaths are due, in part, to the burning of fossil fuels. So, every gallon of gas you don't use can help ease global warming.

Hydrogen Power is been around for a while. but the big 3 (ford, gm and dodge) have stopped all plans to make it happen. its honda thats pushing to make that dream real. think! using water for fuel.
Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: TRX350_On_The_Rack on April 14, 2005, 12:28:19 PM Actually every car company is racing to be the first. The reason they haven't brought out hydrogen cars is because the process to create hydrogen is done cheapest by using fossil fuels. Catch-22. Once that hump is hurdled than we will see hydrogen cars. Also the byproduct is water, not the fuel so it will still be expensive.
Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: MuddyGurl101 on April 14, 2005, 12:32:05 PM The one thing that will for sure help is to walk or ride your bike to close places, and cutting down on buying big gas guzziling vehicles. But we all know that it won't happen!

My folks have an S-type 4.0 and they only get 16 or 17 mpg and 22 on hte highway. And thats a very small engine compared to some of the mercedes and bmws out there.
And for a comparison, the BMW X5 with the 4.4 gets about 16/22 mpg and a ford expedition (4x4) gets 15/19mpg. So much for the insinuation that jag's get decent gas mileage :) im just messin with ya man...im not whining about prices...i just increase my prices to compensate hehe Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: gery350 on April 14, 2005, 02:39:40 PM guys that try to make things larger than they appear ARE usually tring to compensate for something ;D ;)

Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: high-jacked on April 14, 2005, 10:03:09 PM LMAO no sh!t the only ford suv that get 15/19 is the escape. I just get mad when people want to gripe and complain, saying this and that should happon, but thoes same people will cower behind there SUV'S when its time to do something about it. Everyone is so adamite about rideing to preotest against rideing place closures, but no one will stand up for this. I meen what the hell, Do people not care about the gas it takes to get to there rideing pace, and then the gas it takes to ride????? LETS LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!

Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: Chuck_Norris on April 16, 2005, 02:33:25 PM Quote these are the the gas prices around the world Saudi Arabia Riyadh $0.91 Kuwait Kuwait City $0.78 Egypt Cairo $0.65 Nigeria Lagos $0.38 Venezuela Caracas $0.12 WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: HondaBeaterSFL on April 18, 2005, 05:44:07 AM I thought we went in to stablize the region and then gas would go down. Instead I believe Bush and Haliburton have used this critical resource to pay for the war. Hell why not, Bush can say "I am not going to raise your taxes." with a straight face, but he can in some way get money from the oil that flows from Iraq. Maybe I'm wrong but before the war, weren't gas prices much llower?

I heard this morning that crude prices dropped and they said that there is pleanty to be had. The US has a refinery problem that they are maxed out making as much as they can. UMMMM can't we build more refineries? Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: meathead1 on April 30, 2005, 07:11:29 AM our refineries r maxed but the treehuggers will not let us build more the gov. wonts to sell closed military bases to build refineries but the epa has made it to costly for the oil co. to build same problem with gulf exploration off the fl. coast EPA. TREE HUGGERS. LA. no sig. pollution and has helped the econ. both in fishing artifital reefs plus jobs in the oil ind.
ps i have worked for a oil company 29 years. 5 more to go YEAH!!!! the epa will let us dredge to restore our beaches will destroying our reefs whats wrong with that picture the epa is the most corrupt gov. agency in our gov.look to these agencys to blame not to the busch admin. he has become the enemy to these agency Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: stump66 on April 30, 2005, 07:30:26 AM I wasn't pointing at bush just stating what I heard on the news. Being in the automotive industry for 27 years I have had my share of dealing with these power hungry gov't employees. Give them a badge and a gov't id and they love pushing there weight around. Did you know that being a business the epa requires you to keep logs or records of disposing of even flourecent light bulbs. But I can put as many as I want in my trash at home. Its all about creating revenue.

Title: Re: GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS Post by: TRX350_On_The_Rack on May 02, 2005, 10:38:47 AM Quick note on gas prices being so high in other countries. A big portion goes to healthcare, paid vacation (in some countries 6 weeks or more a year), in some countries 3 months off for maternity leave for both man and women, full pay at retirement, etc.
See what we get for our gas prices here >:( So is 2 dollars a gallon really that cheap in the USA ??? |
