GAS PRICES!!!!!!!!

[cepx111]

Okay we did the one day boycot only to have the big oil companys laugh at us and raise gas prices again, I mean the very day before the boycout they went up in my area almost a dime and seemingly for no reason whatsoever other than to retalliate for us boycouting them.
As memorial day weekend approaches us again it seems there are getting ready even sooner than last year with gas prices rising this week nearly another dime or so and we all know that it will go up even futher by the weekend.
This is senseless and just plain price gouging, I mean they say they do it to make people drive less and conserve but we all know that doesnt work we all have to pay the price and we all do and in the end they will have recorded another year of record profits.
I think we need to do another boycout but it needs to be more than one day and it needs to be focused on only company say (EXX#$) for example, till they lower the price period!
If your fed up with gas prices start now by BOYCOUTING ( EXX%^) !!!

[cepx111]

Gee thx guys for all the support.

[buffjhsn1]

i'm thinking of buying exon mobile stock, we all know the price isn't going down, might as well recoup some of the price!

i agree it's crap, but what u gonna do about it? i gotta drive to work, so..... i guess we all could get hay burners?? or maybe tom will let me ride his goat to work? :shock:

[ash]

Or maybe just start driving a bit slower on the freeway.......say going 60-62mph instead of 70-75??? :) I've noticed a big difference in my milage. It doesn't make that big of a delay in my e.t.a. Try it, you just might like it! :D

[cepx111]

Screw that, I wanna be the first one to the track!!!!
I only drive the speed limit on the way home.

[ash]

Well, if you don't want to do anything about how much you are paying for a tank of gas, such as making last longer, you probably shouldn't complain about it. :lol: I don't like paying over $3 a gallon anymore than the next guy, but the gas companies are not going to do any of us any favors anytime soon. Sooooo...... the only way us regular people can do anything about it is to p!$$-off the gas companies by getting better milage!! 8)

What we need to do is to vote into law a mandate that any politician that has any ties to oil, or is in the pocket of a major oil company be slapped with a felony and prosecuted...yeah like that will happen...

So, the next best thing is government regulation, again, yeah that will come to pass.

Lastly, we rise up as a nation and start siphoning gas from every politicians car, every oil company big wigs car and anyone that works for gas stations.

I mean they are stealing from us, lets return the favor.


I am as sick as any of you of the high gouging prices of gas, but I can tell you that boycotts, and slowing down will NOT make even the slightest dent in oil company profits.

You have to take a stand, but it HAS to be done as a NATION!
And until the masses wake the hell up and see what is happening then all we can do is suffer through it.

Personally, I would love to meet with the President's, CEO's of each Major oil company for five minutes. Once out of their comas I think prices would fall :wink: :P :wink:

[jimmybiggs]

here in Delaware the price of regular dropped 14 cents on Tuesday (after Memorial Day) ..... I think America has spoken and are not driving as much...... Gasoline has a very short shelf life

[lanham]

The way it looks to me is the higher gas gets the more people run the roads.I-75 here in KY is loaded up everyday and the only time its not is when you get out very early when everyone else is in the bed.The thing about me is at home i can find some kind of work to keep me busy,and i don't leave too often unless we go racing.But i would say that 90% maybe more of people have to find elsewhere to get entertained.The funny thing is that their house is their biggest investment and they probably are there the least amount of time.On the news today i saw where we are going to start getting ripped off on milk, go figure.But think about this,if you were high up like a politician and was offered big kickbacks to fill your pockets to just sitback and let all of this happen would you do it or not.Something should be done to stop this but who knows.

[ash]

Does anyone know a "out-of-work-sniper" willing to work cheap?? :lol: :lol: :lol: :shock: You know, a few less over paid CEO's , the better!! :shock: ( oops, did I just say that out-loud??) :lol:

I have every right to complain I live in american where we have freedom of speech!
It was just an idea, if you dont want to support it you dont have to, thats "YOUR" right. Either way you dont have to bash my driving habits because you disagree? Fact is
there is no shortage of gas, just greedy high powered goverment tainted oil companys ripping you off. I'm gonna be driving my big gas guzzling suburban or my wifes v8 explorer as fast as I want.
If your so worried about saving gas, go buy a disposable import that gets 40 MPG and when your hungry and out of work from supporting foreign car companys you can eat it!

Lets see..... Wouldn't YOU be hungry and out of work from supporting gas companys by driving guzzlers constantly? Last I knew, you get much better mileage in a Cobalt VS a Suburban. Both have their purpose.

Gas will get scarce in a few decades. And you'll be paying for what little you can get. This is fact.

I didn't see where you were getting bashed above. Just the fact that gas will last longer in the tank if you take your foot off the pedal a bit, IE: 70 vs 90 down the highway. If you want to do 90, go for it. I do.

I dont drive ninety unless I'm at the track, usually drive about 5 over the speed limit to keep Johney law off my butt.
I drive big Gas guzzling vehicles cause I have big family and lots of stuff to carry, for instance: the wheelchair my oldest daughter uses, also it would be kinda hard having to lift her in and out of a small cramp car. But thx for asking.

You're not going to get the "pity me" routine from me because someone in your family is in a wheelchair. I know all about that all too well. I drove my mom around and had to carry her in and out of my cars/trucks for a couple decades till 2 years ago when she died. She was in a wheelchair.

BTW, I didn't ask.

[cepx111]

I wasnt asking for your pity "JERK" I was only making a statement as to why I have large vehicle(s) and why a cobalt or any other small compact car wouldn't suit my needs. And I know you didnt ask I wasn't implying you did.
But you made a generic statement without the concideration that not all people fall into that "generic situation" is the reason I said that.
Next time maybe you'll think before typing something stupid.

Jerk? That's a pretty strong word coming from a a$$hole. Perhaps you should try going back to school and learn to read again.

This sure sounds like you're asking for something....

But thx for asking. I never did ask WHY you have what you have, YOU implied that.

This wasn't a generic statement. It's fact, if you bothered to read the whole bit. You would've seen it don't apply to everyone. One extreme to another.

[chevguy65]

Whoa there cepx111.

I do not see where anyone has attacked you or made any personal reference to your family or anything to get you so riled up.

Remember when you start a thread about anything controversial you are going to get varied opinions and some you may or may not agree with.
One thing to remember and it will help you here and in everyday life is that you cannot take these things personally, it is just a post or a remark, nothing more.

I had that called to my attention here recently and I can tell you that if you look at things this way your blood pressure will drop by at least 20 points.


Also, remember that we are all (in a manner of speaking) family here.

Now lets all play nice and have a big group hug....even the lil oinker can get a hug.

[spib]

you know I dont know how this post got out of hand, but it is a subject that makes people pretty upset, I have drove lil economy cars for the last 8yrs, to work and around town, I'm a big ass dude and it wasnt fun but now that gas is damn expensive, I have a full size truck to drive. I love hot rods and driving my slamed to the ground truck, with the dual pipes making noise, stereo blarring metal, and grabing gears with the pro rachet, Thats how I like to get to work!!!!!!!! this high gas price thing pisses me off, but I wont call anyone anyname's. You are all into dragracing and hotrods, so we like the same things and you too are not happy with these prices, for a fuel that makes our toys RUN!!!!! And if any of you want to drive a geo, go ahaid I just sold mine good on gas, but not any fun

I was merley making my statement as to why I drive big vehicles you assumed I didn't need to be driving one or that I was just rolling around the interstate at 90 miles an hour. I know you didnt ask which is the whole reason I made the rebutle in the first place. IF you "HAD" asked you would of known why I drive the vehicles I do. The" THX FOR ASKING" was sarcaism on my part. DUH!
But you obvioulsy didn't get it.
Have a good day I'm going to the races.

This sounds like you fly, not do 70 as you said.

Where did I say you don't need to drive big things?? As for asking why you need bigger rigs, it isn't my business. As for the sarcaism, I'm full of it.

I'm done with this. I guess there are 3 things that shouldn't be discussed without causing a brawl: Politics, religion and gas prices. :wink:

Have a good day, I'm gonna play in the rain (Currently raining here.)

As a side note, gas has dropped about .25 in the last week in my area. Was $3.60, now seen it $3.32. Yay for us.

First off,....I didn't bash your driving habits, I didn't even know what they were. And yes, you have every right to complain. We all do. I just believe in making the gas that's in my truck last as long as possible. If I had wanted an import, I'm sure I would have bought one, which I didn't because I need something to tow the car to the track with! 8) So, please, relax. I didn't attack your driving habits or freedoms.
Just noted: Boy, alot was said while I was typing.(and getting a beer.)
I'm done, too.
