**** You Gas!

[VicSkylines]

ok so today gas went up 7cents (as far as i know i haven't looked since friday) is anyone else sick of this ******** this is brutal... y does our government **** us like this?

[derk]

because they make money from taxes off gas.

higher gas prices = more tax money = happy goverment = they arent going to stop the rising gas prices = we're shafted.

canadian gas prices are expected to reach the $2.00/ltr mark later in the summer.

In Japan we had a 1 day 40 cent hike in prices. That was REALLY tough to swallow.

I saw an interesting interview on BBC with some financialists or something, saying that the main reason for gasoline increases is due to speculators.
Also, they said that gasoline prices are not priced by supply/demand like other consumer items.

Canada has enough oil of it's own, why are we exporting so much of it ? We should just keep the good stuff at home

Don't take this the wrong way but.... I think every1 should stop b***hing about gas prices. Europe has got it even worse. Plus, It's only going to go higher until one day there is none left. I'm really getting tired of all this. Around here it hit a buck forty one and it was front page news and the big story on late night news. Is everyone really that surprised. One woman interviewed said "I nearly cried when I pulled up to the pump today. It's getting out of control." -she was driving a gigantic ford excursion-

Suck it up, change your budget, carpool, get a different daily driver, or get a bus pass. There are so many alternatives, but yet all anyone ever does is just complain about how much it costs to fill their guzzler.:hit newb:

EDIT: Side note: The word hybrid is starting to really annoy me. GM throwing it into they're trucks that still get horrible millage. Even the Prius. Hybrid technology is useless because It's heavy and not fully researched. Your much better off going with a small diesel then a hybrid. I think people just buy hybrids because it's a staple, Similar to a Mini or a Hummer. People buy them for the image; To make people think that they are doing something.

I think the only people who can actually complain are taxi and commercial drivers. It's eating their profits and greatly effecting their lives and i do believe they deserve a break.

we have no lack of oil for gas, but prices are still going up because opec regulates how much oil we refine.

considering opec is countries who refine oil they don't want the prices to go down, that means less money.

all canadian oil is shipped off then comes back as gas and **** s us
