Bush's fault

Here is an idea. We can pay Brazil to drill, then buy their oil.

1.28/L here, which is 4.85/gallon I believe.

Stop biatching.

cretinbob: Yeah, but you get paid relatively more and most likely don't commute 50 miles a day like most people. Go fark yourself.

People who commute 50 miles a day are idiots.

Yeah, but you get paid relatively more and most likely don't commute 50 miles a day like most people. Go fark yourself.

Actually I also get paid .50/km for driving from the nice american company I work for too.

But really, complaining about has prices just seems annoying and pointless.

Some large cities have vast expanses where it's too expensive for the average person to live comfortably. And those vast expanses are often where the jobs are.

Only $3.79 a gallon here in Real America. Suck it, libs.

With the full derp the Republicans have been up to, I'm horrified at the prospect of them taking the Presidency in 2012. And these gas prices put a damper on Obama's reelection chances.

Yeah, with all the available jobs out there, why would anyone choose one that's 25 miles away from their home?

Canadians do not get paid relatively more than Americans.

Only a small minority of Americans have a commute that is 50 miles per day or more.

Yeah it's like $6.80 a gallon in Japan, which is high, but only "highest since 2 years ago" so that's not even so crazy.

The US has seriously cheap gas.

That said, yeah, it seems high in comparison to normal prices now when it hits (locally to me it's $3.89 a gallon).

Happily my commute is only 30 minutes... ON FOOT.

When it is the only job you can get you would commute it too. Move to a rural state and 25 miles to work is nothing.

I saw $3.60 earlier today, and that was a Shell station. As long as it stays down for one more week, so I can get to a wedding and in particular my buddy can get from Fort Wayne to Destin staying under his $4/gallon budget, then fark it bring on the fuel apocalypse. Because really, what's to stop it from hitting $5 a gallon? Well, demand doesn't change, but we can't stop speculators from driving up the cost by shoving themselves into the process with absolutely no gain to ourselves and indeed only downsides to ourselves, that would be socialism.

San Fran?

I have to admit my dreams of vacation this summer are lookin' mighty expensive.

I don't have a car, so at this point, it doesn't bother me much.

Blargosaurus: I love my $8.24/gallon gas. In fact I'm going to go spend $125 to fill up on my way home tonight.

Well you have a reason for it being that high. Peter Jackson is using it all to film the Hobbit.

Grables'Daughter: I don't have a car, so at this point, it doesn't bother me much.

Yeah, so you just fly in your private jet? Must be nice.

farking suburbs, how do they work?
I know quite a few people who would dispute your statement. The average commute is 16 miles one way, according to the internets.

Yes, I did some similar googling. It looks like (from what are surprisingly tough-to-find stats) more than two-thirds of Americans have a round trip commute that is less than 32 miles. And it looks like the 50-ish milers are about 15% of people.

That's not nothing, but it's not as though most Americans are commuting 50 miles a day.

There's no question that higher gas prices will pinch some people in the short-term. And this is a bad economic time for the cost of anything to rise. But, long-term, higher gas prices mean cleaner air, better public transportation, more efficient vehicles, etc. It's not all downside.

I've got a 5 block commute--favorite pub 17 blocks away.

\I'll be driving forever
\\Give me $15/gal. gas so as to ease the congestion

BearToy: I'm so tired of seeing giant SUVs that seat 20 with the only occupant being the driver racing around town I really do hope gas goes up to $10/gallon. And it's the way they drive as well. They mash the pedal to the floor to open up that big V8 so they can be the first one applying breaks at the last minute at the next red light.



/gas at well over $4 gal. in So Calif for over a month
