runningking7 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Doesn't matter which level of gasoline, guys. I'm wondering because gas costs $2.99 per gallon here in Los Angeles, so I ask you what the heck is going on? :( Isn't the US in Iraq for oil? If so, howcome gas prices have gone from $2.10 a year ago to what they are now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raum Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 2.50 here. I don't mind it really. I'd like to see it be something absurd, like 10$ a gallon myself. Might thin out the roads a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night.Hawk Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I don't because I can't drive... yet :shifty: Gas prices are $2.49 here, or at least they were an hour ago. Knowing how fast it changes it's probably spiked higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Biscuits Brown MVC Posted April 7, 2006 MVC Share Posted April 7, 2006 I look at it like this. I pay less for a gasoline than I do for a gallon of milk. Oil has to be shipped half way around the world in a ship that cost a quarter of a billion dollars to make. It then gets refined in billion dollar refineries, shipped by special trucks to local gas stations where it is stored in vastly expensive, environmentally friendly underground tanks where it waits patiently for me. For this potentially limited resource, I pay $2.79 a gallon. Milk on the other hand is produced locally (when I lived in Wisconsin, it was literally just about 2 miles away) and usually processed (basically heated and bottled) at the same location it is extracted. Depending on the size of the dairy, it is either shihpped direct to retailers or shipped to distributers for shipping to end users. In most cases (in the U.S.) the milk in your glass has travelled less than 700 miles and is never more than about 10 - 14 days from cow to table. For this potentially unlimited resource, I pay $3.29 a gallon. I went to Starbucks the other day with a co-worker. She ordered a -- well some fancy coffee drink -- that could not have been more than 12 ounces. She paid over $4.00 for it (she also complains about the cost of gasoline - hmph). Imagine that, 4 bucks for 12 ounces of fancy coffee. That works out to nearly $43.00 a gallon. I will admit that Starbucks is a luxury item but the milk isn't. My brother's family goes through 18 gallons of milk a week (he has his wife, 3 sons and one daughter). I know plenty of people that use less than 18 gallons of gasoline a week. Now why is it that we complain about the price of gasoline so much but other things that are by far larger a larger ripoff go without question? I'm not saying I like the price of gasoline, I'm just saying compared to some other things we consume daily it's still a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
