Here in illinois it is 2.99 last time i filled up, from the rumors i've been hearing its up to 6.00 a gallon in the Dakotas. I also work around truck drivers and i hear all about the gas prices, this one driver told me that this one chick flagged him down, asked him to have sex with her for 5 dollars so she could get gas to make it home, what is this world coming to...

Gas prices do suck. They are 2.90-3.20 here. Im glad my car has really good gas mileage and only costs like $30 to fill up. My dad's car is over $60 . It's really shitty how they can just raise the prices whenever and however much they want and we can't do anything about it. If there was really a need for the price increases it wouldn't make me so mad but their philosophy is if something bad may happen soon then lets jack up the prices incase it does and if it doesn't oh well , we'll make go back down in 3-4 months.

It pisses me off that we have an oil supply up in Alaska that the united states will not drill because it is on a nature reserve, i know why they wont drill and thats because of the animals, but they're animals they can be moved. In a crisis like this (Katrina) with oil prises jacked up, we need to take all the nessecary actions and that would be to drill the oil that we know where it is to keep consumers happy.

I dunno, with what happen with Katrina and the people who were affected, I am angry that our governement didn't do its best job it could do for the people down there. Its quite sad when you here that infants die simply because our governement was not quick enough to respond and help people get out of the area.
Aside from that gas prices are soaring because of this nautral disaster. I disagree that we should drill in alaska. The only answer I have for the rising gas prices would be to invest in a hybird car.
BTW Gas Prices here are around the 2.90 price area. I remember when it was like 2.78 on monday. I also saw a gas station selling unleaded at 3.45 the other day.

Has heard of any official press release or anything about how many rigs in the coastal area were actualy shut down becuase of the hurricane ? 1 station I watched said 3 and others were saying as many as 20 I don't think they should drill in Alaska either , I think the rich oil comapny bastards should not be dicks for once and should have kept prices around the same while people are still trying to get back on there feet. It's messed up just like those hotels in east Texas that were raising their prices becuase they knew the people from Louisianna were coming and needed a place to stay. The Attorney General took care of that real quick , they should be able to do something about this aswell.

Out here in SE Ohio, it ranges, from what I've seen thus far, from $2.699 to $3.169.
On the news the other day, I saw one that was price gouging at almost $6.00 a gallon. Talk about insane.
BTW, yes, it is unfortunate that the United States wasn't prepaired for what happened, but at least now we're trying ot do the absolute best to fix the problems out in Louisana/Mississippi.
And a personal note to Kanye West, Bush doesn't hate Black people, it was simple the unprepairedness of the entire United States that led everything into this kind of atrosity. Now we're starting to fix everything that went wrong, and we're trying out best to get people out of there as soon as possible.

It pisses me off how every event that happens turn s into political racial shit. Everyone should just be focused on trying to help those poeple and stop bitching about Bush or the government or racism. Jesse Jackson too , I can't stand that guy , he has made his whole career on saying everything is racist.

It's rediculous. Seriously, I get off work and drive to the cash station to fill my tank before prices get over outrageous. There's a long line of cars and I can see i'd be waiting a while so seeing as I was about 3/4 full, i said its not really worth the wait ill come back later. at this time is was $2.49. I came back not more than 45 minutes and it was $3.15.
Also, my sister was telling me around where she works, Gas Stations are putting red out of order bags on there regular pumps. Which i thought ok everyones buying the cheaper gas so they are running out, but she told me the guy in front of her, started pumping gas out of the regular. It looks like they are sucking us dry and trying to make us pay for the higher priced gas.

Yes, the gas prices are nuts ... but what are you gonna do? Our whole society is based on fossil fuels and oil related products, when something bad happens to an area that produces we're all screwed. I totally agree with those before, we need to forget about racial, political, social issues and start to create more of a world community to help each other out. Soon enough we'll run out of fuel and then bad things will be happening. What I hate more than the price gouging by the oil nazis is that they're manipulating and monopolizing the whole transportation market. I mean the technology for hybrid and electric vehicles existed 15-20 years ago, but why haven't been able to efficiently use it? Hmmm, turns out some particular groups are keeping them off the market. Stupid ass people and them wanting to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
