Gas prices?
Is anyone else getting sick of these $1.60 gas prices? I just put in $15 and got almost 9gallons. It is supose to be over $2.00 by summer. If everyone in the country stopped buying for one day that would change their minds about raising prices 3 months ago i was still buying 89 or 92 for my 77 now it just sits and i drive my gutless wonder bronco2. Would be nice to see it go back to what they were .99cents a gallon this is getting just stupid $1.75 a gallon? my buddie had to stop driving his thunderbird Supercoupe because of the prices of premium. my 2 cents.

As mentioned above, we will have to get used to it. These price gouges are not going to ever disappear. The only real solution for this problem is to increase mileage and cut back on useage. I am 100% for the drilling in alaska. The US should have no choice but to start using at least 50% of our own oil, this will cut OPEC's incoming money and lower costs again for us. it's a win-win solution!

Pastmaster, I like your idea.
Gas in NE Ohio is $1.56 - $1.69 for regular. Unfortinately my truck likes the mid grades $1.66 - $1.79 per gallon. At about $50 every week or two for fuel, I am going broke fast.
Can someone please stop the prices!!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 17-Apr-01 AT 09:43 PM (EST)[/font][p]I know, this deal about us relying on foreign sources for our oil and gas needs to stop. If we are that dependant on foreign sources then where is all of the oil we are bringing up going?

You believe drilling on our own soil will solve the problem? Tell me. What will you do when that oil is all gone? Crawl back to foreign countries and beg for oil? And once our own oil is gone, OPEC will see that we have no choice but to buy from them and jack the prices sky high!!
I am 100% against drilling oil in Alaska!
