That's what I've been doing lately. Obviously not everywhere, but when distance and time permits I try to avoid use of motor vehicles.

what's up with the ****ies guys? :lol:

[molly747]

If these prices continue, I'm actually thinking about getting a Toyota Prius. 44-50 miles to the gallon!

[Romulus]

heh. My wifes HONDA CIVIC took 26 dollars to fill up! 26 freaking bucks!

I hate OPEC.

I bet Anwar sounds pretty good to the people bitching about high gas prices now.

[Fintin]

yeah...i have to buy premium...at 2.39 a gallon...

[EvanL]

Jack. You drive an f150 right?
How bout till the gas prices go down u just carpool with your wife?
It will save you tons.
F150s guzzle so much gas.

[Brozozo]

yeah...i have to buy premium...at 2.39 a gallon...

Ooh-la-la "premium", Mr. Sophisticated :P p-)

What do you drive?

[caspermeister]

Cost me CDN$ 84 to fill up my 4Runner yesterday.... 95.9 cent/liter what a crap! Bloody Oil cartel!

[Jack Mehoff]

Nah, i'm not going to let this hinder my life. Of course I'll have to take less "joy" rides up in the mountain with my truck because it's a nice night out there.

[Fintin]

yeah...i have to buy premium...at 2.39 a gallon...

What do you drive?

SVT focus...hand built engin sounded cool when i got it...high performance everything....too bad high also refers to the gas bill

yeah...i have to buy premium...at 2.39 a gallon...

Ooh-la-la "premium", Mr. Sophisticated :P p-)

What do you drive?

premium gas is more pour and is easier on the engine, they say that it will be better for car in long run if u use premium.

I know that but he said he "had" to use premium so I thought he probably had some serious sh*t under his hood. I use the mid-grade stuff, works for me.

Toyota Prius -> long waiting list to own one here, I just checked with my Toyota dealership yesterday. Cost around CDN$ 30,000, ain't cheap!

[Fintin]

i would say hand built is serious ****...a four banger putting out 170 hp naturaly aspirated...not too shabby...yeah got a 1972 442 in the garage...its got a 455 that was bored to 462...that gets premium...and 7mpg...its gone around to the end of the street and back so far this season... :(

[Brozozo]

I got a Mazda, it sucks ass.

[Ratamacue]

I got a cheap Toyota Corolla, gets decent gas mileage though.

[Midtown]

I have a rich girlfriend that is really high class. I drive a rusty oldsmobile cutless 89 ceira. Just goes to show you what you can accomplish with good looks and roofies.

Hmm you must be an east coaster then right?...I heard on the east coast right now its over a $1/litre, right now for me its $0.89/litre and I live in F***ing Alberta, Oil country like WTF???, hopefully when election time rolls around Klien will lower gass prices to $.40-$.50/litre

[786mine]

I heard that they found oil of the coast of California. The reserve is so much that it can meet the oil needs of ENTIRE US for the next 300 years. WTF why don't we use that oil now?! In the next 300 years we will have developed other fuel sources. And don't blame JUST the OPEC, I read that EPA has set a higher standard for gas, that means more refining, that adds to gas price. So this is pretty much the US' own doing.

[Tengu]

I guess it wasn't about oil :P

http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/gas1.html

the dollar really weak at the moment so the european prices superficially high.

What I want to know is why is the US government stockpiling?

[RS_Leo1A5]

Here in Germany the price for regular fuel is around 1.15 Euro per liter.

1.15 Euro = 1.38 US-$

1 Liter = 0.26 US gallons

Which means we pay ~5.31$ per gallon...

Actually West Coast - Vancouver. In Tsawwassen/White Rock where my brother lives, it (gas price) hits 99.9 cent/liter yesterday.

[Haiw]

Don't worry ya greedy yanks; oild prices will go down before the elections... :roll:

[Moledet]

In Israel we pay 1$ per litre or 4$ per gallon and we are located in the Middle East, you shouldn't cry about your gas prices.

[Jack Mehoff]

Euro have almost always been high. They have been budgeting for high petrol prices for decades. They can manage the prices because they have been managing the prices for a very long time.

WE have not. Our personal budgets account for cheap energy. When you have a family on a tight budget (which most American families are) and all of a sudden in a matter of weeks one of your expenses increase in cost by 45% and the impact is very real, and simply telling people that they should "suck it up" is... :backhand:

Did I mention our public transporation out in the west of United States sucks?

[Pandy]

Last time I was in Korea (South), Aug 2001, it was about $5-7 per liter, but that's out in the country side. That's where the next closest gas station is about 30 miles away.

[Jose Le Baron]

1.08 Euro per liter here in Portugal... and rising! Guess them Saudis are in need of a woopin' :bash:

[Fintin]

what is public transporation?....never heard of it here in detroit...

[Brozozo]

Holy sh*t, no wonder the Korean car companies make their engines so small, at $5-7 a LITRE I'd be on a donkey not a Kia.

I've used and reused basically the same Dasani, Aquafina, and Gatorade bottles for the past two years. :D

I also try to ride my bike, carpool, bum a ride, or walk as much as possible with gas around $2 here. :|

Man you never ever had high gas prices, If you live in Europe you know what expensive gas is. Especially in the UK!

Yeah, but you guys have much better public transportation and UK is about the size of Utah.
