Default Re: Got Gas?

Wikipedia says, "Total world production/consumption (as of 2005) is approximately 84 million barrels per day."

The US consumes the most in the world, even far more than china, which is in second place (also with a pop of over a billion...)

That's a lot of money.

None of you have the right to complain about gas prices !
Underrated post alert. That's one reason why being in the Maritimes isn't good.

After conversion, gas here works out to just over $4.00 a gallon. I don't know what the exchange rate is at the moment, but the Canadians are clearly getting even more ripped off, especially since a lot of the oil is coming from Alberta in the first place.

NE Mass - I filled up today and it was $2.89. It's always about 5-10 cents cheaper at a Cumbie's in a New Hampshire mall, but I didn't feel like driving an extra 5 minutes.

I'm so glad I hardly go anywhere, since if I could drive I wouldn't anyway.
It's about $2.90 here in NE Ohio.

I spend about $50-$60 every week- week and a half and you won't hear me complain.

If you can't afford gas then maybe you shouldn't drive a vehicle............

$1.09 per litre, which is $4.13 per gallon. Assuming an 85% exchange rate, that's about US$3.50 per gallon. Sucks to be Canadian, no?

Well isn't that amazing? They can still afford it and still drive a vehicle.

They are making cars that get 30-40 MPG and guess what I have 2 vehicles that by adding the combined mpg won't add up to 30mpg.

The only people that complain are the ones who think $100-$200 a month for transportation is a "hit" in their pocket books.

If you need a vehicle SO bad then do some money saving techniques....for example

Disconnect the cable ($30-$40 month bill)

Disconnect the internet ($30-$50 month bill and local libaries have it for free)

Cook at home

and so on (Now I am not implying that you can't afford it I am just making a generalization)

hahaha, people who pay for gas... Actually, I paid for all my own gas when I was driving. But now that I'm living in the city, I'm pretty much stuck with public transportation which sucks, but atleast I don't have to worry about gas.

There are people out here who quite literally have to decide, "food and utility bills or transportation?" These are typically the people with older cars who can't afford to get a brand spankin' new $25,000 50mpg car.

Pippin and I live in the same area, and now it's about $3.33. We live in a Chicago suburb, which tends to be a lot less that in the city. I'd hate to see what prices look like in there... aside from Canada, I think we're getting the worst deal....

I was totally lost and thought americans were goddamn crazy until I read this post and realized litres vs gallons.

It seems to be around a dollar and a bit here I think. I don't really pay attention. I don't drive a vehicle: I bike, walk, and bus - in fact I don't even have my license. Maybe other urbanites should consider public transportation as well. IMO only rural residents need vehicles. In cities you can bus and taxi anywhere.
