The REAL way to get gas prices down

DavidMn · #1 04-24-2006, 10:28 AM

Ok, I finally figured out how to get gas prices back to a reasonable level. All Fleetwood Mac fans must en masse must start writing letters, protesting, whatever we can do, because how the hell are all of us going to be able to go to shows next year if this keeps up?

Take a trip over here, and you'll never moan about your gas prices again

I heard! Like 6.74 in U.S dollars per gallon.

I'm sick about this. It cost me$48 to fill my tank last night!

I won't be going ANYWHERE this summer. This is going to kill the vacations of many people, right?

Yeah, I would imagine it would. I have a Toyota Corolla, and it's 32 dollars to fill mine even!

I'll say this, I'm sure glad I went to those Stevie shows last summer cause I dont if it would be feasible for me to do that this year.

More like about $8 per gallon. The sad thing is that a car is still cheaper than the train

It costs me about $75 to fill up my tank, and it's just a regular-sized tank

Holy Schnikeys that's awful!

But here in the US, the oil companies are SERIOUSLY price gouging us, and it's wrecking the economy. Something NEEDS to be done.

The guy that's the CEO of Exxon/Mobil I heard made over $100,000,000 last year.

Maybe its more.

Yeah - with us, it's the government that are skinning us. 75% of our fuel prices are government tax

Mind you, our oil companies aren't exactly making a loss either.

I'm curious, do you folks get most of your oil from the North Sea or do you import most of it?
