why that was nice

well the good thing about higher gas prices would be less vehicles on the road because of this. Which in turn would be less people driving and causing people who own sports cars to change to a more economical car.

You're an idiot. People who drive sports cars usually can afford them, which probably means they can afford the gas as well. You'll see the other cars off the road first.

Has anyone notice an increase in crack in heroine prices. I guess its costing more to bring it across the border since gas is going up

you know **** well higher gas prices are just filling the pockets of oil companies. The supply for oil and the demand have staid the same yet prices keep going up and oil companies keep having record profits. the only way an alternative energy source is going to be instated is when it will make oil companies more money than ripping us consumers off for oil.

So let me ask you this... how does a weakening dollar play into your scenario?

I mean our money is worth the same as CANADIAN money.. that's fukkin' sad...

I thought the demand for oil has increased, considering things like China's demand for oil.

Can you really blame the oil companies for making record profit though? If you could sell something that everyone needs and sell it for practically anything you want, knowing that you would have to spend BILLIONS and BILLIONS to keep finding it and upfront this cash, wouldn't you do the same?

I know I would. If your really that upset about high gas prices, buy a hybrid or buy oil stocks.

high gas prices will force people to get creative.

already happend, people have ran their vehicles of kyrocene, and payed alot less and get alot more to mpg, but it is illegal, I wonder why? because we have to pay for this expensive *** gas.

you wont be so happy when the semi truck that brings you all of your toilet paper to wipe your *** , wont be able to deliver the loads because of the sky high fuel prices.....

That semi will still deliver the goods, it'll just do so at the cost of higher prices to the consumers.

I'm amazed at the level of stupidity in this thread, and I'm not talking faulkton.

I blame the illegal aliens.

No real backing for it, but it seems most things are their fault. I think this is too.

I would say this: it is a theoretical supply.....we know it is going to run out and the prices are going up because of the fear of oil being depleted. Maybe in the next couple of years economics will be revised to include supply, demand, and fear

I wonder how many people that ***** about oil company profits have said oil company's stock in their portfolio/401k's without realizing it...

estimates place our oil reserves i believe somewhere from 10-50 years of supply.
