ok this is crazy, i dont know why the goverment here doesent open some refineries, and give us a deal like in some latin american countries like venezuela, they are paying 12 cents a gallon in american dollars, so not a whole hell of alot, if it were like that here would cost me $4.50 to fill my truck instead of $160, i think i wanna move there. just look at some of these prices

The Big Picture | Gas prices from around the world

 

It`s sick what we`re paying for fuel and likely it`ll get alot worse.

 

I hear ya loud and clear. Something needs to be done, but the question is, what. The dont buy fuel for a day doesnt work.

What everyone should do is for a week, steal fuel haha.

Seriously I dont know what needs to be done, but something does. Consumers control the demand, so stuff is possible.

 

on the other hand, some places pay upwards of 2.00/ltr...

 

The price of gas is really starting to smart. I have noticed a decrease in traffic already this summer. I have also given a few customers a near heart attack when I tell them what the fuel surcharge is charged by the transport companies when quoting a freight rate.

 

I can imagine the additional costs for fuel surcharge, its getting past the point of ridiculous.

 

Yeah its retarded i wish something would be done

 

But the question is, what can a person do?

 

Drive less, buy less and save money..... for the next fill up!

 

Ya thats exactly what im doing now, plus driving a tad slower.

 

I think it will get much worse before it improves.

 

Thats exactly what I am doing too... driving a bit slower...

 

Yeah i cant see it either. but just wait, some average joe will get fed up enough and snap with these fuel prices and do something really stupid.

 

While I didn`t hear much of it this topic seems like in the USA gas tanks are getting punctured to steal gasoline.....
Anyone else catch this?

 

Ive read that happening out east in the larger cities. Sad. Maybe the owner that gets his tank punctured should send their bill to a huge oil company!
