What to do about the gas prices

Based on what I saw with the prices and the poor excuse that the oil companies gave for the latest rip-off of us poor people. I feel that we need to vent our frustration and our rage at the actual people who order this increase so that they can line their pockets. Who are these people, how do we find out who they are so that they do not remane invisible any longer. We need to expose them to the general public as they have no ethics except one, greed.

Do you think the public doesn't see what's going on? Of course they do. But, what are we gonna do? nothing.

In order for us to do something, we need to know who these people are that are raising the prices.

yea thats true, but like now, its getting outta control (You, know, I, got, what it takes to make the club go outta control ). I didnt mind .96 cents for a litre cause you arnt saving much when it goes from .97 to like .93, but when they spike it up .20 fcking cents. that just pisses me off

this is getting ridiculous, i am filling up everyday in my Vr, and have been driving my beater around too lately, who would of ever imagined it would cost $60 to fill up a Ford Tempo 4 banger with reg gas, i bet its cheaper to run straight c14

wtf are you talking about, i have my G2, and I do pay for gas if i take the car out... but i only fill it up to about half tank. what i was saying earlier. half tank= 35 litres. @.97cents/litre=$33.95. @.93cents/litre=$32.55. difference of what $1.40... im not saving much, so I dont complain. but @1.20/litre=$42=rape. btw, you can get your G2 8 months after you get your G1, so i got it a couple days after my bday. then i got it 8 months after that

pffffft 1.36 today and thats bullshit

i was planning on getting another turbo car but i dont feel like paying over 1.50 a litre for 91 octane.

And this is just the beginning, i predict gas will soar over the $2 mark.

it im taking my bike to work!

BTW up in Burks falls(near Huntsville) gas is $1.80 a litre!

I put in 38L today @ 1.339 = $53 for Reg. 87... That's quite a bit more then 97c/L....

Anyways... what are u going to do? The Gov't is loving it... Do you know how much extra money they are making now? I have a feeling it's going to stay like this for a while... and maybe drop to the new low of 1.10/L at the lowest...

I think it's about time to look into diesels or propane! Turbo + propane would be interesting no? Doesn't propane have an effective higher octane then reg. fuel?

Any who... I wish the good old days would come back as well... where gas was 39-42 c/L and $20 would give u a full tank :thumbsup
