It was $3.88 here this morning. I'm sure by the time I drive home it will be over $4.

[TD Ryan2 316]

you hear about people "changing their driving habits", I'm now one of them.

 

it's not because of the speedometer.

it's not because of the gas gauge.

 

it's because of that little electronic readout that tells me how many MPG I'm currently getting... driving faster, the MPG is terrible, drive slower, the MPG is better.

It has made me drive considerably slower.

[heavy-set 39]

i get 27.2 mpg

[Recliner Pilot 61]

It was $1.82 when Obama took office. He's getting what he wants.

There's 26 billion barrels of oil up in Alaska just waiting to be piped up.

 

The North Slope is an absolute wasteland. Nothing lives there.

Synthetic oil ain't cheap either.

Here's an interesting read, important and verifiable information :

 

About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and

One of the Forbes Bros. Was the guest. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to

Ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil

Does the U.S. Have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more

Than all the Middle East put together." Please read below.

 

The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only

Scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a

Revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in

This area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota , western South Dakota , and extreme eastern Montana ....... Check THIS out:

 

 

 

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe

Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign

Oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion

Barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... At $107 a barrel,

We're looking at a resource base worth more than $5..3 trillion.

 

"When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see

Their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.." says Terry Johnson, the Montana

Legislature's financial analyst.

 

"This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found

In the past 56 years," reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a

Formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the

'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and

Into Canada .. For years, U. S. Oil exploration has been considered a dead

End. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells

Decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up

The Bakken's massive reserves.... And we now have access of up to 500

Billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels

Will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!

 

That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years

Straight. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one

Should - because it's from 2006!

 

U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World

 

Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006

 

Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the

Largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION

Barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In

Three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this

Motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?

 

They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders,

Than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:

 

- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia

 

- 18-times as much oil as Iraq

 

- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait

 

- 22-times as much oil as Iran

 

- 500-times as much oil as Yemen

 

- and it's all right here in the Western United States .

 

HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the

Environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America

Become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of

People dictate our lives and our economy.....WHY?

 

James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in

This very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION

Barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in

The world today, reports The Denver Post.

 

Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think

Again!

It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to. Think OPEC just

Might be funding the environmentalists?

 

Got your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it, do this:

 

Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you

Should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices - by

Doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you

Sent this to every one in your address book.

 

By the way...this is all true. Check it out at the link below!!!

It cost me 60 dollars to fill up my toyata camry.

 

I couldn't imagine driving a truck or suv right now.

Well, just thank goodness that there is no such thing as inflation....

Beat you to it Posty.

 

Cost me $83.00 and I fill up once a week on average.

3.89

NICE

 

here in southern Indiana.

 

But then I'd be stuck living in Indiana like all of the other shmoo's .

I'll pay the other 30 cents a gallon. What's it like $4.00 a tank to live in NY and not anywhere else ? It's worth it.

 

 

THAT said it is insane that it is anywhere that price anywhere.

Alaska is running out of oil. If your plan is to drill in Alaska, that's really not going to get you very far.

[Voltaire 5,513]

3.89 here in southern Indiana.

On my trips from Detroit to St. Louis, I always stopped for gas as I passed through Indiana. The prices were always a lot better than Michigan, Illinois, and Missouri. As a matter of fact, before such a long trip, I would deliberately not top off to begin if I knew I had enough gas in my tank to get to Indiana.

[penultimatestraw 473]

ive been biking exclusivly for 8+ years now.

Bike most of the time for about the same period. Don't care how expensive gas gets, particularly if it prevents some soccer milf from running me over while on her cell.

Ever heard if ANWAR?

 

 

Obama just pulled the rug out from underneath Shell on 5 permits to drill off the Alaska coast where there is a shilaod of oil. Why? Because Shell's environmental impact study didn't include emmissions from the tugboats to take the rigs out there. (I think it was the tugs, some ship emmissions). That's fukked up.

It's usually 10 cents a gallon cheaper in Kentucky. I have to go to Kentucky to buy smokes, so I try and time it to fill up when there.

Energy Markets Under Investigation for Fraud

 

President Obama has called for an investigation into potential price manipulation, collusion, fraud, or misrepresentation in energy markets, which could be causing prices to unduly increase. A task force organized in response to the president’s call for action met for the first time on Monday.

 

How about we sick the SEAL teams on oil CEO's?

4 dollars, 4 dollars... do i hear 5 dollars?

[peenie 2,003]

i went to QT on sunday, it was $3.65

it cost me $40 to fill up my honda civic

luckily when the gas prices spiked up to almost $4 in 2008 i decided to move closer to work.

i was driving a cadillac at the time and was commuting 64 miles a day.

i was going broke.

now, i live so close i can walk to work.

[Recliner Pilot 61]

Obama's energy policy is a clusterfukk. Kill drilling, drive up the cost of gas to $5, and try to shove that piece of sh!t Chevy Volt down our throats.

 

Worst ever.

now, i live so close i can walk to work.

 

Mungette just bought a new land rover lr4, luckily we only love about three miles from her office. She actually rides her bike on some days.
