insanekiwi Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 another raise. 1.41euros/litre. that dead arab guy + oilhijacking u.s.a = no good for my wallet :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyKombat Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Well I'm from Europe ... 1.036 Euro a litre 1 US gallon = 3.7854118 liters So 3.7854118 x 1.036 = 3.9216866248 Euro a litre. The current rate for the Euro to USD: 1.00 EUR = 1.2473 USD So that's about 4.8890 USD (give or take) a gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kr0z Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Just take it like it comes. Oil is expensive, gas / petrol prices will rise. It's inevitable. Just buy a smaller car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAcOdIn Veteran Posted August 12, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 12, 2005 But a bike, public transportation, or something is the only solution to this. Gas is never ever going to come back down, we're reaching max output right now, and while I don't think we'll ever truly run out because I don't think it's made from dead dinosaurs, I also don't think we'll ever have enough again for it to be as cheap as it was with more and more people needing it. So what are we going to protest? Hurricanes shutting down refineries in the Gulf of Mexico? The Earths supply slowly dwindling? Emerging industrial nations getting gasoline as well? It sucks but we're going to have to change our lives to live accordingly, we're not going to stop hurricans, make the Earth make more oil and faster, or get new industrialized nations to move back into the stone age.

turkishdelight Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Smaller != more efficient. Most of the time it does, but not always. Around $2.50 USD a gallon for regular unleaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoL Veteran Posted August 15, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 15, 2005 Puerto Rico.As for the topic, regular (what my car uses) is $0.55 a liter ($2.20 gallon) but it sucks cause it was around $0.44 ($1.76) before all these price hikes happened. :cry: Well atleast since the car is not fully mine, my parents still pay for the gas :D 586363557[/snapback] Yeah I remember when it was at $0.41 here in Puerto Rico :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerHappySam Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 We can protest by getting by with as little gas as possible. We can ban together and chose 1 or 2 days that we refuse to buy gas. If people can protest / strike for higher wages or better health care - why not strike for LOWER gas prices? Why should I have to have a smaller car or cut my vacation short because the Oil companies and gas stations are hiking gas prices. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's traded on the free market, on NYMEX or the IPE in london. What would your protesting possibly do? China and India would buy up any spare oil if you guys don't want it. It'll do absolutely nothing and the only thing that you could possibly do is get a more efficient car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S. Veteran Posted September 1, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 1, 2005 It's well over $3.00 many places here already, as stations attempt to retain some inventories. I was pleased :wacko: this morning to be able to pull up to the pump and not wait in line for $2.95. The lines yesterday afternoon were ridiculous.

Liandros Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 well when i went to school today gas was at 3.00 right by my school and when i got out of school it was at 3.10. yea i did notice that there were no lines at the gas stations. in my area the highways and interstates have been blocked due to lines. it is just crazy.

Starcom826 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 A lot of these gas prices are extortion. A rise of $0.40 in one day all the way across the country is not supply problems, its extortion. And down near the hurricane, $6 a gallon is just plain insane. Smaller cars isn't really the only solution. I personally would like to see a major city try developing a modern PRT system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
