  • Gas Prices are obscene

    up a dollar a gallon from this time last year. Is there any solution forth coming other than buying ric-shaws?
    After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

    are you looking for answers from us foreigners? 'cause you know how that'll turn out ...
    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

      I filled up in Buffalo in Dec. 2008 for $1.89/gal. It was around $2.90 when I was down the east coast last summer. It's around $3.70 in Buffalo now...almost double. Insane!

      In Ontario it jumped up about $0.10/L ($0.38/gal) last July when HST was added. It jumped up the same amount in the last few weeks.

            No. Short of greater economic disaster worldwide, thereby diminishing demand, the price of liquid fuels, at best will remain the same and most likely increase more in the short to medium term.

              If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

                LOL...yeah, but at least on this one I blame the GOP almost as much as the Dems.

                      Paid over 4 bucks ($4.09) for the first time last week. Speculation is $5 in Illinois before summer.

                      What a great way to stimulate the economy. We will not be able to buy anything except food and gas.

                        It's already hurting me going to Rays games. I have to go over on Sunday for a game and I really wanted to go on Thursday, but it costs me $35 in gas to make a trip now and it's not worth it.

                          Literally means "pulling your pants down to fart" which is a Chinese idiom for "wasted effort." Makes sense to me!

                            Really? It's equivalent to $4.76/gal here and we don't blink. Then again, if you have been used to it being lower all along...

                              One of my buddies has decided to bail on his vacation. They had planned to trailer their horses down to Missouri for a week of camping and riding. The gas was going to cost him an extra couple of hundred bucks so they are not going.
