Title: How much does it cost for a gallon of regular unleaded gas?
Post by: pellius on March 03, 2011, 04:07:37 PM
It now cost $3.78 here in Hawaii. It took a big jump in just a couple of days. How high will it have to get before we can start drilling for oil here? ANWAR alone will replace what we get from the Saudis.

Five years ago they wined that there was no point in drilling because it would take five years before any oil was available.  ::)

Well here we are 5 years later. Not many cars run on solar.  ::)

Gee, I wonder if high gas prices will affect spiraling food prices and depress employment.  ::)

LOL! Have you even seen the area? Half the year it's in complete darkness. Of course, you'll never go there because you can't since it's so remote.

And when the price of oil goes up it effects everything not just the gas in your tank. Everything you have has to be flown, shipped or trucked. The price of food, clothing, housing EVERYTHING goes up. How will this help our already faltering economy.

The profit margin for oil companies ranges from about 7-10%. Microsoft has a profit margin over 30%. You have a problem with companies making a profit? Do you have a job? Do you work for free? Does your company make a profit?

You drive a car? Oil, whether you like it or not, is here to stay for the foreseeable future. The question is do we want to produce our own oil or continue to support terrorist countries that want to kill us.

What would you do?

America loves its football. Without it, depression will set in for many people. Plus 4+ dollar gas, no jobs, chemtrails/weather manipulation to make it extremely cold and rainy. Then comes the crash in 2012.

Yup, so we should irreparably damage a special place. One of the few special places left. An entire ecosystem still intact. An arctic Serengetti where thousands of caribou migrate unhindered e>ery year. A place still untouched by the hand of man. Still unfucked as of yet. For oil.

DECOY POLICE CARS TO BEAT PETROL THIEVES AS PUMP PRICE SOARS


Patrol cars are being parked at petrol station forecourts across the UK to deter thieves

Friday March 4,2011
By Dana Gloger, Consumer Affairs Editor
 Have your say(0)
PETROL stations are being given 24-hour police protection as the number of fuel thefts soars.
Patrol cars are being parked at forecourts across the UK to make thieves think that officers are on hand.
Police say the vehicles have already helped to reduce the number of motorists filling up and then driving off without paying as prices hit record levels.
Inspector Neil Ireland, of Suffolk Police said: “Some petrol stations seem to have particularly high numbers of drive-offs, so we decided to trial this idea in our area.
“We are called in to investigate when people drive away without paying for petrol and it can take a lot of time and cost a lot of money.
“The decoy cars are working well and we have certainly seen a reduction in the number of reports.”
As well as people driving off without paying, there has also been a rise in the number of motorists filling up and then claiming they cannot pay.
Many retailers have joined a debt recovery scheme to reclaim the unpaid money. Other petrol stations have spent hundreds of thousands of pounds increasing forecourt security, with improved CCTV cameras and alarms, and padlocks on underground fuel tanks.
Inspector Ireland added: “People need to pay for their petrol. We have even heard of people filling up extra tanks in the boots of their cars.”
As reported in the Daily Express on Wednesday, prices reached their highest level ever this week, with petrol at 130.68p per litre and diesel at 136.14p – just two pence off £6 a gallon.
The AA estimates that, in total, motorists are spending almost £10million more a day on petrol than this time a year ago. Brendan McLoughlin, founder of PetrolPrices.com, said: “Fuel sales are going down as people can’t afford to pay the high petrol prices and there is five per cent less fuel being sold now compared with two years ago.”
   
SEARCH UK NEWS for:
   
Over the past year petrol prices have risen by 10 per cent but in the last two months alone they have gone up by 6p a litre.
With concerns escalating about unrest in Libya spreading to other countries, including Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil producer, experts warned that prices will go higher still.
Faith Birol, chief economist of the Energy Agency, said: “The age of cheap oil is over.” There was some respite yesterday, however, as the price of crude oil fell at one point by $3 a barrel to $113.09.
Motoring organisations are calling for the planned April 1 fuel duty increase of 1p per litre plus inflation to be scrapped. Of every pound spent on fuel, 67p already goes on duty and VAT.
Scottish MPs yesterday called on Chancellor George Osborne to drop the proposed increase. Mr Osborne has agreed to consider the matter but has yet to make a final decision.

Amazing how cheap gasoline is. The amount of calories per dollar is fabulous.
Cheaper than milk.

If there was a way to ferment the gasoline and revert it back to fatty acids or carbohydrates food costs would be a non issue.

After all it's a high caloric organic OIL substance, so it should be extremely efficient in terms of energy turnover.



Just have to find a viable converting/fermenting process and good to go

 And if Tha Outlawz are feeling really rowdy. We might just kill some mother fuckers and eat thier fucking brains and testicles. We are the most psycho biker gang on Earth.

Yup, so we should irreparably damage a special place. One of the few special places left. An entire ecosystem still intact. An arctic Serengetti where thousands of caribou migrate unhindered e>ery year. A place still untouched by the hand of man. Still unfucked as of yet. For oil.

This world as a whole is already beyond repair, so I guess what the fuck, right? I'tll be a better place when we breed oursel>es into extinction...

Again, do you drive a car? Do you go to the supermarket and get groceries or do you hunt for your meal? Do you go to the store and buy clothes or do you make them yourself out of tree bark? Do you live in a house or apartment or in a cave?

Everything you have that you didn't make with you own hands is dependent of petroleum. Even that plastic bottle you drink your water out of.

And how have we inflicted irreparable damage on this planet through our use of fossil fuels? Is Texas, an oil State, still able to support life. What about the effect of Prudue Bay on Alaska. How do you define irreparable damage?

And the Serengeti is untouched, eh? Maybe so, but where would you rather live? Where you are now or in Tanzania?

As gas prices continue to increase the price of EVERTHING goes up and literally puts a brake on our already faltering economy. You don't want us to produce more oil. That leaves us at the mercy of importing oil from other countries, many of those countries that want us dead. What do you want to do about it TODAY?

BFRS:  I went on holiday once to Daytona and ended up staying 9 months, running the motel I was staying at, prancing about in a swimsuit and carrying a mobile phone.  I wore no shoes the entire time, the ocean was right there and there was a 7-11 across the road.

The Spring Break college kids were total drunken assholes, a few got so shit-faced they threw themselves off their balconies, which it turned out, is a common event in Daytona.

The race guys didn't say much, hardly put in an appearance, all you could hear was the drone from the racetrack 24/7.  They didn't tip.


And the bikers?  They were the best, true gents, every last one of them.  So I'm not having your derogatory comments about them.  They'd write their phone numbers on $100 bills.  Amazing people, they had little u-hauls on the back of their trucks to get 1000 miles to Daytona each year.  They smelt of new cameras.  I did the whole mess, stayed up 3 or 4 nights, went to parties in tents where they had women naked with snakes and etc.  Outside they were paying $1 each to a really worthy charity to take a sledgehammer to a jap bike.

I will not hear a bad word said about bikers, they are polite and nice and kind and lovely.

The US won't drill its own resources until the rest of the world has been tapped out.  This is also why we control the Iraqi oil fields but don't exploit.  We're sitting on 1 trillion barrels of a peak produced commodity.  Basic supply and demand.  When the world will pay $1000/barrel to get that sweet, sweet, crude...then we'll open the taps.
You don't maintain an empire by responding to the needs of the citizens...you maintain an empire by controlling resources and access to those resources.

 I totally agree with you.

 Last year at Sturgis. Me and Tha Outlawz rolled in hard. I rode my custom Chopper all the way from Phoenix AZ. I was so high on meth I just rode that shit straight up without even stopping to eat. Just fill up the gas tank and stop at a rest stop to take a few puffs off the glass dick of the shard. That's it.

 When we got there some biker broads were naked in a tent, doing some good meth. So me and my boys just pulled a train on those bitches. We even lubed their assholes up with motor oil and gave them an anal pounding. Afterwards we wrote our phone numbers on 100 dollar bills and gave them to the ladies because we are real genetlemen.

 Tha Outlawz are the craziest fucking biker gang on Earth! Don't nobody forget it.

I'm not sure what you mean about being fucked no matter what or that we are over populated. We produce more than enough food to feed than entire world -- an everybody gets seconds. And this planet isn't even close to being tap out space wise. Ever fly fly LA to New York? Lots of open space. In fact, the entire world's population could fit in the state of Texas quite comfortably. http://lifeissues.net/writers/mos/pri_01texas.html And are fossil fuels finite? I guess they are but are we even close to exhausting the resource? They've been saying for decades that we are running out of fossil fews. In the 1970's it was predicted we would be tapped out by 2010. But guess what? We keep discovering and finding new oil reserves. The shales in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming contain more oil than all of the Mideast countries combined.

I don't know what you mean by a planet healing or how you can tell if it's healthy or sick. There was a time when it was nothing but volcanic eruptions, storms, earthquakes, fracturing of the continents -- and what about that asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs? Nobody was driving cars then.

But whatever. Nothing lasts forever. NOTHING. Even this planet whether it is healed or not. The fact is that we have oil here that we are not allowed to utilize. Everyone else drills wherever they can find oil -- but not us. We just have to buy it from them. And a lot of that money is used to finance our enemies. It doesn't make sense. No one will ever go to ANWR. The caribou will be fine like they are in Purdue Bay. And with directional drilling we will only use a small fraction of that mosquito infested, frozen desert. Imagine ANWR is the size of a football field we will be using one square foot of the area. Is that too much for some degree of oil independence and maintain and even improve of quality of life.

As oil prices goes up everything goes up. EVERYTHING. And the higher the cost of living rises the more economic activity is suppressed. And the more economic activity is suppressed the more ... well, I'll let you figure it out.

We can simply look at the impact drilling in Alaska has had since we already drill there in Purdue Bay. In life, there's always going to be trade offs. If I suddenly removed ANWR from the face of the planet with a wave of the wand nobody would notice. The impact on the planet's "healing" ability will be zero. The impact to your, and everybody elses, life will be zero.

That's the politic, social studies answer. Don't forget that you Americans just love driving yer motherfuckin' cars.  ;D

I prefer to project the "I spent all my gas money on steel cut oats and baby oil" vibe and just take the bus.

This is a brilliant posts because most don't consider the reasons why high speed railway never works here in the US and is a horrendous waste of money.


I've worked on high-speed rail feasibility studies in florida. In some areas they are actually considered feasible but I still have my doubts. I agree with you and think they won't be productive in america. They are highly expensive for little overall benefit. Americans are more relucant to give up their vehicles and I'm one of them!

I paid 3.60 per gallon several days ago.

ok then explain why australians are better off than americans?...while we pay $5.50US/gallon and our density is much less and we rely on petrol to feed our spaced out cities..of which there are few, but separated by thousands of miles..

Most of the world drives 2.0 litre cars or smaller and so will americans before too long.

Inflation and interest rates are headed up real fast that is what happens when you print so much money.
[/i]


Officially, inflation in the US and the EU is very low. It's very easy to manipulate an inflation number, as every citizen of those two area's realizes when he/she sees how much more expensive many things become each year.
Debt is indeed the number one problem of both US and many European countries (and Japan). No major things should happen now, or things will fall apart, as there is no reserve, no savings, no money to cover for a large emergency (earthquake, hurricane, major flood, war etc).
The only thing that keeps investors happy to buy is faith. Which is something that can disappear very quickly. Economic growth in the US was realized with borrowed money. Very risky, and it's artificial growth.
The debtload of many countries is frightening, especially when you add pension costs, and medicare expenses. Many states in the US are bankrupt, and so are many countries. Although the latter still takes some time for people to get used to.....
(And yes, your pension money was also "invested" in such bankrupt States and Countries.....)
