Are the gas prices going up faster then you drive?!?!?!?!?

Where I'm living we're up around 6.00 a gallon. That's the reason I do very little driving these days. If we had any kind of a government at all they could put a stop to this foolishness but WHY they're reaping rewards right? It's absolutely ridiculous. I know people have to work and have to get to the job, I get that but if everyone would absolutely refuse to drive for even 3 days, you'd be surprized what that could do. Take care my friend.

Yes, I too feel trapped by the rising gas prices. Needless to say, our salaries are not rising at the same rate as the gas prices so many of us are really being squeezed. It is shameful the way the government is handling this crisis. It is also shameful that we have become so dependent on petroleum based products in general, not just gas. We could do a lot to decrease the consumption of petroleum by cutting our use of products that require petroleum in their manufacturing process, but we just don't seem to want to make that sacrifice! (pastic bags, plastic bottles and more)

Looks like. I also have a strong feeling that in the coming months and years, the rise in prices of gas (fuel) is going to be the order of the day. It is better one should switch over to simple living, giving up using cars.

Haha! Can't help but laugh on the title you put here, it seems that you're also getting affected by these oil crisis. Well here in my country, that's been a problem for more than a decade now. The whole nation's complaining and there's nothing we could do about it, so it's the concerned individual that took the step in looking for other alternatives. Right now, we have lots of options to power and make our vehicles drive around environment-friendly as it's cheaper without using crude oil and gasoline. We have other options like LPG-powered cars, battery-powered, solar-powered and water-powered automobiles.

LOL, In my case yes. My truck has been down for a few months as it needed a new fuel pump. It was a pretty expensive fix, so I delayed it as long as possible. Now that it's fixed, I had to put 5 galons of SUPER in the tank to keep it from running so rough with old gas in it. I was shocked when I found it to be $3.05/gal. All I can say is, I'm glad I only had to do that once because at $2.89/gal for regular unleaded, it'll take $90 to fill it up. OUCH!!! Luckily, I'm not making a 60 mile a day commute to work anymore or it would be costing me a fortune as I was having to fill it up twice a week.

Our gas prices were going down for awhile, but now they seem to be going back up. Our prices are a little over $3.00 here in Nevada. I'm sure they will be going up even higher soon. I actually quit my job when the prices started going up because my job commute was over 100 miles round trip.

They have the market that's the trouble, there is no competition, if only we could fill up with water, tea, coffee or something, but no they know we rely heavily on gas/petrol so they can bully and lay the law down as much as they want because they know we have no alternative, we can't go elsewhere, we either drive or we don't simple as that, and they can be as greedy as they like. Not as if you can go to one store buy a chicken for $4 and go to another store and buy the same chicken for $1. Petrol in the UK is £1.05 now and they have the monopoly and the government won't step in because they get a good percentage of it, so it's a lose lose situation, we are being held hostage, it angers me. Hopefully someone can come up with an alternative to gas to teach those greedy oil companies a lesson!

It is getting really rediculous. My husband has to drive the same as you. We have to have at least $50 a week, just for him to go to work. We also have a handicap van to take my son to his appointments and therapies and they are at least 1/2 hour to 2 hours away. It takes $120 to fill it and only lasts 2 weeks. That is alot out of a paycheck.

You stoled the show today. You couldn't say it better. I am looking for small electric scooter to drive. I feel like pretty soon visitors to gas stations will be treated like movie stars, because only few will tank...

Gas prices have ridiculously gone up. Where i live it's up to 3.11 when only a week ago it was around 2.79. It's absolutely ridiculous. I had to fill my truck up today and it cost me 72.00 to fill it up. I just about crapped. It's insane. I don't understand why they keep doing this and i so would boycott getting gas if i didn't absolutely have to have it to get my kids the places they need to go. When is it ever going to end? Never, I know, but they need to start thinking about the people that need to go to work. they are gonna end up spending their whole paychecks on gas instead of being able to pay bills and stuff like that. the madness on gas prices needs to end. I remember when we all got disgusted cause it got up to two dollars, but this is just down right crazy how high they are getting now. thanks for posting. i've done my ranting for the night now. LOL! God bless

Yes, gas prices are a bit rediculous. But I came to terms with this, that it will probably be like this for a long while. Although I don't like paying these prices, I've gotten tired of complaining about it. Last time I got gas I got it when it went down some. It was at $2.93 and right now it is at $3.15. That is a huge increase for just one week. But it'll come down again eventually, then it will go up again. A never ending cycle. But unfortunately it doesn't come out even. It slowly creeps higher and higher. I wish I had the money to buy a scooter. Then I wouldn't have to buy and use as much gas.

Oh my goodness don't even start...the gas price is crazy. People can't even eat because they have to save the money to buy gas so they can get to work to earn money to buy more gas for work basically most ppls are working for gas...sadly enough we can't change the facts. I hope and pray that there is a solution but as for now I have seen none to today.

yes:( this is a deep problem , in my country it will reach 1$ for liter while the government pays alot to help citizens , by the way 1 $ in middile east is big money !! but there is one good thing which by time i guess cars will go cheaper an cheaper and we can buy BMW 2010 with 20000 $ !! i guess so !

from what I hear gas prices will be about 4 something a gallon. It is unbelieveable the cost of gas. So what we do is just not go much make sure that what we need we get when we are out. When it cost you 65.00$ a fill up you want to hold on to that gas for as long as you can.

I heard that they a predicting $4.00 by summer. I drive about 30 miles round trip. My usual car gets about 30 mpg. probably 25 in this nasty weather. I do not like the price of gas, I also do not like the time spent commuting. I hope to announce something different one of these days. The job I drive out of town for is the one that pays the most per hour and carries my benefits. My job with disabled adults is here in town, and I can probably get full time there. I just am waiting for summer. I have a contract at the other job. If I got really ambitious, I would bicycle to the in town job.
