There Will Be A Revolution Someday

[Frank Giaramita]

Gas prices by me (Long Island, NY) have soared to a whopping $3.27/gallon (regular, not premium) as a result of Hurricane Katrina (or, as a result of the government wanting to cash in on Labor Day weekend). Just out of curiosity, what's the gas prices around your area?

[Chemical Love]

$3.07, I live around Albany, NY.

[irthesteve]

we're up to about 2.77 here in santa barbara, it fluctuates alot thou

[nulemoni]

Yesterday it went from $2.69 to $2.99 here in Mt. Pleasant, MI. Luckily a few of the gas stations were slow to change their prices.

Alex

[xAnothrLostSoul]

$2.51 and raising fast

[last light]

we're up to about 2.77 here in santa barbara, it fluctuates alot thou
about the same here in LA...3.11 for 91 now

[underdawg1119]

around atlanta its like $2.68-$2.70

[whatisautumn]

3.27 is outrageous. i paid 2.71 a gallon and thats the most ive paid so far

[Doubleya2002]

$2.69 a gallon as of yesterday.

[catchmealone]

I live about an hour away from St Louis on the Illinois side.
It jumped to $2.99-9 today.
2 days ago it was $2.45-9
Yesterday it jumped to $2.74-9
And now this.
It's bullshit.

[takingback2005]

3.17 Chicago in the City

[PerfectMess]

around $3.00 here for regular. Two days ago I got it for $2.70. I hate this.

[airwreck]

$3.25 a gallon, i live in Watertown (near Syracuse) NY. The prices jumped up 52 cents overnight. Time to buy a bike.

[Jared Kaufman]

I think the gas prices are ridiculous and something needs to be done fast; however, I just think it's funny people complain about the price of gas but then, in essence, pay $10 a gallon for Starbucks coffee.

ha

[littlecletus]

$2.99 last night....IF you could find any, i passed about 7 stations on my way home and every single one was out of gas, bags over all the pumps....I haven't been out yet today, but I hear the prices are even higher...

[LMB]

Prices here in Southern Ontario, Canada skyrocketed to $1.19/litre (equivalent to $3.83/gallon US).

edit: just checked, still high.

[Jared Kaufman]

ha
Classic.

[Raven]

I live on the main highway to Sandy Hook in NJ and it went from $2.41 (had been at that for like a week or two) to $2.53 the next morning. Most around here are about the same prices.

[WSUskee]

It jumps about 10 cents ago but last night it was $2.79 in Seattle.

[Scott Weber]

It's like 2.96 here.

It jumps about 10 cents ago but last night it was $2.79 in Seattle.
Lol. Different part of Seattle? ;)

[YellowNovember]

here in shitty farmville they are a whooping 2.10 im quite lucky

[tambo41187]

Fucking price gauging...

And man new york taxes....over 3 bucks here.

[SoL0ngSincerity]

in jersey it was $2.54 yesterday... who knows what it is today. i'll have to check on my way out later.

[evan324]

$2.59-2.69 in New Hampshire on the border of Mass for regular, its like $3.25 for premium.

[romantic rights]

its about 3 bucks in long beach california, that goes for the majority of southern california too

[not_important]

last i checked it was 2.67, but it could have gone up

Edit: just got gas, it's up to 2.99

[jaimieh613]

It's like 2.96 here.


Lol. Different part of Seattle? ;)

here in southeast washington, we're at about 2.76 i believe.

[StartingLine182]

$3.25 a gallon, i live in Watertown (near Syracuse) NY. The prices jumped up 52 cents overnight. Time to buy a bike.


Shittttt...I havent seen gas prices since Im at college, but I go to school in Syracuse so Im guessing its that high. Its crap.

[fromwithin]

here in shitty farmville they are a whooping 2.10 im quite lucky
$2.10!?!?!? I'd kill for that. Anyways, outside of Pittsburgh where I am it was as low as $2.47 on Monday and now its up to $2.69 and they said it would be $3 by the end of the week. Having a girlfriend that lives 25 miles away is not good for the pocketbook.

[YourLatestVicti]

I haven't seen it yet but it was about 2.60 here(north of Syracuse, NY) but apperently it shot up to like 3.00 in the last two days. It's fucking insane I won't be able to afford to drive home.

[Rubberband18]

Just replying on behalf of the Uk contingent but in Britain the average price per gallon is around £4.50! Now at current exchange rates (around $1.8 to the pound) that equates to just over $8!



Makes your $3 a gallon ridiculously cheap to me

[SLADE775]

gas is 12 cents in some countries.



but they all ride bikes.

Damn. I thought Canada had it bad.

[kittypants]

it's because Katrina knocked out many of the nations refinery infrastructure (plants that convert oil to gas) in Louisiana.

don't blame this on politics. politics didn't make China's demand triple the last two years and up the prices.

[fromwithin]

its Venuezela where they hoard all the oil!!! and places are alot more accessible by bike or foot in foreign countries than in the U.S. Our country needs to raise minimum wage to match the inflation. I dont know how anyone could survive making $5.15/hr

[NFG4ever]

1.27 per L.

That's just insane

[nulemoni]

Yesterday it went from $2.69 to $2.99 here in Mt. Pleasant, MI.
Actually it looks like we just went up another $.20 to $3.19.

alex

[mattregan]

Time to invest in hybrid cars... no matter the price...

[Scott Weber]

here in southeast washington, we're at about 2.76 i believe.
nice. it was 2.96 in Redmond last night.

[LMB]

That must be a record. I don't think I've ever seen higher in Ontario.

is that for regular or premium? $2.79 as of this morning over here. thats at least a 10 cent increase just this week.

LOL, having a girlfriend in general isn't good for the pocketbook...

[fromwithin]

alex
they'll keep jacking it up and keeping blaming it on something else. One day its Iraq, then South America, then Africa, then the hurricane. They keep raising it because there's such a demand for it. People have become so dependent on oil its ridiculous.

[Manbotisdead]

I live in NW NJ, and it was 2.47 on Monday
by Tuesday afternoon 2.71
5 hours later it was up to 2.99
I was on my way home from work and almost crashed my car I was so flabergasted.

[ParisInFlames55]

2. 85 here in the outskirts of philadelphia. i need a damn raise in order to keep up with this.

[NFG4ever]

That must be a record. I don't think I've ever seen higher in Ontario.

It's fucking insane , I drive a Dodge neon and it's now like 45$ to fill up haha

[lostntheseethru]

http://bobmcdonald.ba.ttu.edu/Home%20Page/Gas%20Prices.jpg

ha

we actually had a gas station in the small town that i live in put that up on their signs. thought it was funny for like a second then it sunk it that they were serious haha.

gas here in the indianapolis (IN) region varies from 3 bucks to 3.19 in surrounding areas.


i saw something on the news last night but i cant remember where it was, although i know it wasnt in north america, where gas is like 5 cents a liter...

[fromwithin]

LOL, having a girlfriend in general isn't good for the pocketbook...
hahahaha i was going to add on the end of that for more than just one reason. it'd be nice if i could get driven around all the time and get lots of presents and have everything paid for. that's the life.

[Frank Giaramita]

I mean, I pay $14 in tolls just travelling from Long Island to lower Manhatten (NYC) and I only fucking live an hour and a half away... with gas this high it makes the overall cost of the trip ridiculous, and it's a rather routine one for me.

[sebaloc]

Gas price in the USA are wonderful, here in France 1 gallon cost 4,75 € since one week..
One year ago it was 4 €.....
Every week the price is going to rise...

[SLADE775]

[SLADE775]

It's fucking insane , I drive a Dodge neon and it's now like 45$ to fill up haha
you drive a neon huh, that's too bad.

[over rated]

most places are at 2.79 in minneapolis.

thats a pretty terrible comparison, but nice try

[ShoeSh1ne]

It was $1.67 for me today.

[NFG4ever]

you drive a neon huh, that's too bad.
What the fuck's wrong with that? haha I'm a poor college student

[lostntheseethru]

thats a pretty terrible comparison, but nice try


i personally think it was a great comparison...

you drive a neon huh, that's too bad.


haha

im acutally glad i spent all last week in las vegas. that means my car wasnt being used and i have no need to fill up on gas for a while. but then again vegas wasnt cheep either...

[LMB]

It's fucking insane , I drive a Dodge neon and it's now like 45$ to fill up haha

Haha, and that's why I leave my truck at home and ride my bike everywhere inside of the city. The truck is only used for emergencies and out-of-town driving, it's too damn expensive to use otherwise.

[Katie Schmitz]

It's around 2.79-2.99 here in Nebraska.

[patrickhowell]

Lynchburg, VA.

It jumped from $2.39 to $2.79 yesterday.

This is why I quit driving.

[NFG4ever]

hahaha nothing.

I'm just bein an ass.

[thedood]

$1.20 a fucking litre (canadian) trust me when i say that is fucking insane...you can do the math but the answer will be insane.

[lostntheseethru]

It's around 2.79-2.99 here in Nebraska.

not quite hit the 3 bucks mark yet haha

[fromwithin]

We have a grocery store that started building gas stations and when you use a card for groceries you can get free gas or discounts. The problem is the gas is watered down and i get 50 miles less a tank. But with the rising costs I might have to use the crap. Do any of you have something like that?

[crit]

I work at a gas station. The worst part is people yelling at ME and being mad at ME for the prices. As if it's my decision to charge that much. Yeah, right. I have to pay the same ridiculous prices, I tell them. It's the truth. They think I get a discount. I don't. They are like "yeah sure you probably get it FREE!" I wish, man. I wish.

[lostntheseethru]

hahaha nothing.

I'm just bein an ass.


imagine that ;)

[Scott Weber]

It was $1.67 for me today.
wtf.

[emomadmike]

In Montreal, Quebec, Canada our gas is 115.3 / Liter or 1.15$ / Liter. Absolutely crazy.

[SLADE775]

Busing is the new driving.
I'm afraid of buses.

ever since speed.

[WrpdnDprsd]

I'm in St. Petersburg, FL and monday night the cheapest I saw was $2.55 for low, but I'm sure it has gone up since then

i work at a music venue...i get the same shit. i know its probably not the same, i think people sometime expect to pay a lot for concert while no one would expect to be paying this much for gas, but i know what you mean when they bitch at you as if ur pocketing the money for yourself.

wtf.

my thoughts exactly

then they made speed 2 cruise control.

I remember when I worked at a gas station and I thought I'd get discounts but then on the second day, I knew better. However wholesale is about 20-30 cents/gallon less than what is posted on the pumps, I used to check the fuel sheet when it came in.

How is that a terrible comarison when it's a fact? It's not even really a comparison either. I was just stating it was funny people complain about the price for something they need when they're daily purchasing something they don't which is far more expensive. You need gas; not Starbucks coffee.

[Talib Scottie]

2.79 Williamston North Carolina. It was 2.58 yesterday.

[SLADE775]

hahah

then they made speed 2 cruise control.

yeah, they did......why? who knows :shake:

milwaukee, wi. went from 2.69-2.99 bullllllshit

[Maxeene]

Yeah def not looking forward to october when my boyfriend and i are moving from orlando to philly and have to drive BOTH our cars there. I might as well buy a new a car at this rate, it'd probably be cheaper!

[SLADE775]

good thing I drive one of these

http://www.esa.int/images/img06_L.jpg

[GlassyLight]

This is obviously price gouging, where the fuck is the government on this one?

Let's think here:

The oil rigs in the gulf coast pump OIL. Not gasoline. The oil needs to be refined to be turned into gasoline. This takes time. This means that while the price of oil is rising, and rising ridiculously, the price of gasoline should NOT be rising just quite yet. In theory, it should rise when the cost of the oil is passed onto the gas station, and subsequently, we the consumers.

Granted, stock market tensions and worries will be reflected on the pump, but 30-40 cent jumps? Come on. I'm a fucking biology major and even I think this is bullshit.

[n8showoff]

milwaukee, wi. went from 2.69-2.99 bullllllshit
that was yesterday. I just watched the news and its $3.25 someplaces, and the most expensive in Milw is $3.29.

I'm sick of all the complaining tho.

some people thrive off of it. Go buy a huffy then biAtch.

He needs some extra spending money for his vacation.

ahh yes but i can choose when to treat myself to starbucks, b/c at least for my broke self, starbucks is a treat... i can't choose whether or not to get gas.

but then again i'm some rich caffeine junkie who needs his daily fix so maybe that's who you're referring to. i just get the small i mean tall i mean whatever, i just like the chai tea.... yeah it's time to go back to work now......

[jeremywjmf]

I was just stating it was funny people complain about the price for something they need when they're daily purchasing something they don't which is far more expensive. You need gas; not Starbucks coffee. yes, it IS a comparison revolving around price elasticity vs price inelasticity, something you may have learned in economics class in college. i'd go into more detail if you like but its probably not worth the effort if you haven't figured it out already.

That too.

Maybe I won't be seeing Coheed in Des Moines come October.

And I just saw on CNN.com that in a "Worst Case Scenario", gas will go up to $4 a gallon by September's end. Then again, they also said that New Orleans would be the next Atlantis.

While it's close, it's still hyperbole. Yet another example of the media striking fear into their fellow man. People get scared, and people do anything when they're scared (stockpiling for the millenium, anyone?).

Also, I'll eat my hat when they release these 'strategic oil reserves'.

Just think what would've happened had we not invaded Iraq causing all of the initial price raises....perhaps we'd only be screaming that gas was breaking $2.00 a gallon......oh well, that's the best part about being a college kid...no car!

[SLADE775]

Yeah, but you don't buy 10 gallons of Starbuck's coffee at a time.

[snowtires]

2.83 in the suburbs of philly.

just in case everyone missed it, yahoo news had a link to a % breakdown of gas prices, over 30% of the current price of gas comes from state and federal taxes.

as far as the strategic oil reserves, an extra million barrels of unrefined crude oil does little to lower gas prices when 95% of the country's refineries are currently without power.

[lostromanticxx]

They're about 3.20 in Boston

[SLADE775]

Yeah, but you don't buy 10 gallons of Starbuck's coffee at a time.

im gonna get some heat for saying this one... i think this disaproves the whole "War for oil" thing. cause wouldnt you think wed have seen some of iraqs oil by now if that was the case? nope.

in good news they are releasing alot of ouy national oil reserves.

[GlassyLight]

If this disproves the "War for Oil" theory, why have gas prices been rising for the past god knows how many months?

me too haha

[backtothesound]

in minneapolis, anywhere from 2.70-3$

[forgetevth]

ok think of it like this we invaded iraq for oil? then wouldnt we see some of that oil and in turn prices wouldnt be rising as much because we would have more oil. but since we didnt invade iraq for oil, we havent seen one bit of oil from them, and gas continues to rise because of natual disasters

[HoboAdam]

where on long island do you live


the shell by me is 2.90 for regular, but i did see on the news out in holbrook by the LIE it was 3.50

Yeah, but you don't buy 10 gallons of Starbuck's coffee at a time.
I'm talking about the people who go to Starbucks everyday sometimes even more than once a day. I guarantee you they're buying a galloon plus of coffee a week.

[sopi]

i'm in Canada and gas is $1.25 / Litre (Canadian) or about $3.65 / Gallon (American)

it's outrageous, and is clearly some sort of government conspiracy for more cash

[thexflamesxburn]

Gas prices by me (Long Island, NY) have soared to a whopping $3.27/gallon (regular, not premium) as a result of Hurricane Katrina (or, as a result of the government wanting to cash in on Labor Day weekend). Just out of curiosity, what's the gas prices around your area?
its 3.41 out east on the island.

[Frank Giaramita]

Yesterday morning at 7 AM, in Tulsa, OK it was 2.56. Around noon, it was 2.69. Last night around 11, it was 2.79. I'm sure it's probabaly higher today

[GlassyLight]

Sorry, Frank, I should've been more in depth on what I was referring to....

The 'experts' on news channels were saying that the WHOLE city would be under 20-30 feet of water due to storm surges from the ocean, rather than the 5 to 6 that is now covering the city.

Sorry, Frank, I should've been more in depth on what I was referring to....

The 'experts' on news channels were saying that the WHOLE city would be under 20-30 feet of water due to storm surges from the ocean, rather than the 5 to 6 that is now covering the city.

[snowtires]

people really need to understand that it's not just the u.s. that's feeling the hurt. my mom was in ireland, she said gas was around 2 euros a liter. i forget how much it was exactly, but it worked out to be about 9 dollars a gallon.

[LeftWideOpen]

im gonna get some heat for saying this one... i think this disaproves the whole "War for oil" thing. cause wouldnt you think wed have seen some of iraqs oil by now if that was the case? nope.

in good news they are releasing alot of ouy national oil reserves.

yes because everyone who is against the Iraq war thought they were only after oil? How about the whole "war kills innocent people" thing? Or the "pre-emptive war is glorified terrorism" thing?

[matthias]

is this a plot to get me not to drive. i sersouly have never filled my gas tank up fully. it would be like 50 bucks. car companies really should be the one to hope on this game. people will go for anything that will give them better mpg or a fuel alternitive or hybred. its lame. but we will all continue to pay it. and they know it. thats the worst part. what ever happend to needing just clothing shelter and food. now its just money .

Well for once living in bumfuck no where actually proves to be good. :) Nothing happens out of the ordinary! :) I feel lucky to live where I'm at; considering what some are going through in the "big easy".

[snowtires]

i'd also like to point out that, when i was a senior in high school ('98-'99), gas was 83 CENTS a gallon. and then someeeeeebody who has a lot of oil had to go and get elected. son of a bitch! i used to be indifferent, but yeah, there's no reason for us to be in iraq. what are our soldiers doing there? they're basically bomb magnets. my dad put it best, at this point we need to pull our troops out, put up a fence around iraq, give them some more ammunition and come back in six months. problem solved!

[GlassyLight]

Yes, bumfuck nowhere is still feeling the crunch though....while gas prices are indeed lower than your New Yorks, Los Angeleses, etc....the average household income is also lower.

It's all proportions.

Hopefully the ridiculous prices don't fuck with the touring industry....Wilhelm Scream is supposed to be here on friday, and I just may murder someone if I don't see "The King is Dead" live.

[agent00013]

How is that a terrible comarison when it's a fact? It's not even really a comparison either. I was just stating it was funny people complain about the price for something they need when they're daily purchasing something they don't which is far more expensive. You need gas; not Starbucks coffee.

I think it's sad people are complaining so much about the price of gas when their are a lot of people floating around dead in New Orleans and still about 90,000 more people who need evacuated. Skip out on your Starbucks for a day or ride your bike and help out some people (http://www.redcross.org/donate/donate.html) (Red Cross) who aren't in as good of shape as the rest of us.

Is anyone doing benefit shows for this?

[SoL0ngSincerity]

hahaha this is all just people trying to get all the stupid parents out there to stop driving their obese 8-year-olds to their friend's house to play video games for 15 hours straight while eating donuts and potato chips. cut gas prices, then parents will eventually just say, "get on your damn 5-speed bike and pedal your ass there." kids lose weight, parents don't pointlessly drive around, america loses the obese kids image. not that i don't love video games, but kids are getting ridiculous...

It's no Spiritual Machines, but then again, nothing is or ever shall be. Pardon the pun, but there's definitely a new feeling of 'gravity' on this new album. You can hear the conviction in Raine's voice this time around. It definitely harkens back to stuff like "In Repair".

Also, the falsetto is back with a bit of a vengeance after only being used once on Gravity.

I walk around basically every day, but I can't walk more than 4 miles at once and bikes aren't allowed on the highway.

Something has to be going on behind the scenes. Gas was $1.20 for premium in 1999 and is now over $3 by me and we don't even have it nearly as bad as most.

[snowtires]

the part that sucks/is kind of funny is that, for how much they cost, unless gas were to reach i think it's $5.76 a gallon, hybrid cars aren't going to save you any money, unless you have the car for ten years. have fun driving one of those pieces of shit for the next ten years, captain pennypinch. that and the fact that they max out at like 80 horsepower makes them sweet cars to have. 0-60 in 15 seconds! vrooom!

[FourStarters]

We have a grocery store that started building gas stations and when you use a card for groceries you can get free gas or discounts. The problem is the gas is watered down and i get 50 miles less a tank. But with the rising costs I might have to use the crap. Do any of you have something like that?
Giant Eagle's GetGo stations are like that. They're selling gas at $2.79 for 87 octane, but the gas is SHIT.

Last night's gas prices were $2.59 a gallon for 87, and this morning were $3.09. Let's all keep in mind that it's OLD gas that's been sitting in the tanks for at least a week or so. There should be no reason prices are going up if the supply is the same as it was 12 hours ago.

read my last post. gas would have to cost almost $6 a gallon for your hybrid to save you money over the same sized, non-hybrid car, even with the tax break, unless you drove it for ten years. then, after ten yeras, you could rub those two shiny nickels together and say you saved money, if the car lasts that long, which i'm pretty sure they don't/won't

where do u live?

[violencexgrace]

I live about 15 minutes northeast of Los Angeles, and yesterday morning the price for reg was $2.98. Drove by the same station at one this morning and it's now $3.05. Most stations around here have been right under $3 (with premium stuff running about $3.07... now $3.18). Guess that ship has sailed.

I'd walk. Ride a bike. Whatever. But I have work and school and a regular life. Walking is plain ridiculous in this weather and these distances, and taking a bus would be more time (2 hours for 5 miles? Give me a fucking break) and grief than it's worth.

So I pay. I can't afford to fill it all the way up (I draw the line at $35 for 11 out of 14 gallons), but I need gas. I understand people have it worse, and it's terrible. What I'm worried about is that we haven't merely fallen on hard times or whatever, but that times are changing; that the cost of living is going up. Things were cheaper in the 50s.

That's what they'll say about us. Things were cheaper back in 2005. Fuck.

yea i agree...here its probably not half as hot, but then we have humidity that you dont. so it all somewhat equals out. and our buses would do me no good considering i live in the middle of a cornfield. that would also make for one hell of a walk or bike ride, regardless of the weather.

First of all, they save you plenty of money, that's the freaking idea. It takes 6 gallons (roughly $20) for a Honda Insight to drive from Baltimore to Boston. Whereas a Dodge Caravan takes 16 gallons (roughly $50). $30 saved. I hope you don't plan on involving math in your career. And who cares about a fast car. Yes, I love driving a fast, nice car as much as the next guy, but when it's going to cost me thousands of dollars upfront and then hundreds more each month, I could care less. I'd rather have the money to take a girl out in a "crappy" car than have a nice ass car and take her to McDonalds.

I bought my 04 Civic for about $16,500. A Prius would've been $26,000 before haggling. Let's just say, a hybrid would've cost another $10,000. If I could save $20 a week on gas, that still means it would take 9.6 years to just break even on the hybrid. I'm pretty sure in 10 years we will have some alternative fuel and my hybrid will be completely outdated.

[TylerDurden911]

Prices here in Southern Ontario, Canada skyrocketed to $1.19/litre (equivalent to $3.83/gallon US).

edit: just checked, still high.

It's gone up to 1.34$/litre here in Montreal...

[brianthomas7]

ok so i hate the shit i get in bulletins on myspace, but someone sent this to me and it made me laugh...i dont know why but it did. and its pretty much related to this subject so im gonna share it :)

IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN THE
UNITED STATES DID NOT PURCHASE A DROP OF GASOLINE
FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE OIL
COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES. AT THE
SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A
NET LOSS OF OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS
THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL COMPANIES. THEREFORE
Sept.1st HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED, "STICK IT UP
THEIR behind DAY", AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION
SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF GAS THAT DAY. THE
ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE, IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS
E-MAIL TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY
AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT. WAITING ON THIS

This has gone around before during last years gas price woes. It has got to be one of the dumbest ideas ever conceived.

And to the piece of shit who is saying that a hybrid isn't a good econmic decision, you are missing to whole point of hybrids. Beyond just saving money, you are consuming a whole lot less gas, thus reducing our substantial dependence on oil (mostly foreign) and reducing harmful emmisions that cumbustion engines emit. Thus taking a step in saving the environment from the cataclismic damage that we are causing every day. Its not just dollars and cents, it is the bigger picture. Pull your head out of your ass and take a step back.

p.s. Those poor people in Louisiana have a whole lot more to worry about than gas prices going up a few cents, think about that.

[smallbutfeisty]

it was $2.79 last night here in muncie, indiana, but today it is up to $3.19

[ThisCutIsDeep]

Winterpark gas is water, thats why I walk my sweet ass to school haha

[smallbutfeisty]

i think he makes the city look bad...

i mean i hate it hear cuz its boring. theres nothing wrong with it other than i have nothing here. im not a basketball fan, im not a country music fan, i like nascar and ill go to the race but im not a die-hard and the drunk red-necks piss me off. there really isnt a "scene"here. and what there is, are older punks who do nothing but put the younger kids down and beat up on them. its just lame. id rather be in a city like chicago where at least shopping would be fun...not to mention a million other things to do.
there's a lot more to do in indy than people give it credit for. yeah, not too many good concerts come here, but there really is a lot. i grew up in indy, moved away, and moved back with a new appreciation for it. it's the 12th-biggest city in the country, so it's not as small as everyone in indy always thinks it is. i'm not saying that it's the best city in the world, but you get out of indianapolis what you want to get. there's a ton to do downtown if you look hard enough, and carmel, castleton, avon, greenwood, and the other suburbs have plenty to do, too.

[Spicoli hey bud]

Yeah. We started classes today, summer vacation was way too short. But no more dorms for me, we finally got an apartment this year.same, same and this is my 2nd year in an apartment..
getting kicked off campus after freshman year was awesome

ha


they used that picture in one of my seminars here at ODU

[Joolez82]

whoa.
It's $2.89 away from the city. Still a lot. That means like $40 to fill up the Volvo...,no good. :shake:
uhh did i say $2.89? i was driving around on my lunch break and it was $3.31 and $3.35. outraaaaegoussssss. this was in the glen ellyn/lombard area for anyone who knows the area. whoa.

ok plenty is stretching it...most of all those places you mentioned have serious faults in them. most of those places dont compare to half of what you can do in other cities...and downtown caters to a select crowd that i want nothing to do with... im not a bar hopper...i dont really drink. nor do i want to be around people who feel the need to get extremely wasted and puke all over everything...thats what downtown, broadripple and castleton have to offer

[straythumb]

$2.54 ish

[itsahoax]

yea I paid 3.29 today, I live in annapolis, md

[Comandante]

If you think the government has something to do with this, you are a fucking MORON.

[duffe]

We should start a revolution right now.

Fuck that. Outlaw Nascar. I shouldn't have to drive a hyrbid car because a bunch of people get together and drive in circles for hours on end.

[lemmingwear]

ACCORDING TO MSNBC...BY XMAS TIME PRICES WILL BE AN AVERAGE OF $5.00 PER GALLON NATION WIDE......DUE SOLEY ON THE FACT OF THE DESTRUCTION THAT HAS OCCURED TO THE 2ND LARGEST OIL REFINERY IN AMERICA BEING DESTROYED IN THE HURRICANE. THIS WILL UNDOUBTEDLY CHANGE ALL OF OUR LIFFESTYLES IN WAYS THAT WE HAVE NEVER EXPEREINCED BEFORE. IF YOU DONT HAVE A BIKE....YOU BETTER GET ONE NOW.

[soliloquy]

this morning it went from $2.49 to $2.82 right as i passed the nearest gas station to my house. my brother claims he had a heart attack. closer to downtown chattanooga it was still $2.51. i didn't look on my way home though, cause usually that one station has the highest price

hahahahaha i think that just made my day.

[Cal Smith]

Has there ever been a time when everyone didnt bitch about gas prices?

[Spicoli hey bud]

Has there ever been a time when everyone didnt bitch about gas prices?my guess...this was the case when cars with gasoline tanks were not in existence

[whitetiehanging]

$3.14-$3.34 Hawaii

[grimis16]

Aurora Colorado, from a steady two or so weeks of 2.59 to 2.85 in one day

[LMB]

It's gone up to 1.34$/litre here in Montreal...

DAMN! I just saw 1.29$ when I stopped off at Sonic Unyon for some vinyl goodness.

[grimis16]

four or five years ago a sinclair station by my house was .98c a gallon, i sure as hell didnt bitch then. Could fill up my gas tank (02 civic) with $12 now a little over $30
