Tyger Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I was SOOOOO happy to see that $40 almost filled my car. I mean, I was stressed that the big oil/gas companies families wouldn't be able to afford the mortgage on their 3rd homes, or exotic vacations. mean, I was loosing sleep over their situations, and possible loss of million dollar bonuses! Silly me!And I LOVED that Obama said that we should "just get use to high gas prices and trade in our cars for hybrids". Yeah, I can afford another payment, sure, why not! Considering he gets paid, oh, what? About $400K each yr he's President, then about what? $180K after his term ends JUST for being President (wish I got that kind of perk from the job I got let go with)! Not to mention that, at this point, he doesn't even PAY for gas cuz his ass gets carted around (as does his family for the sake of National Security), on OUR dollar, so why would he feel the sting of higher gas prices. What an ass....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thurisas Posted April 21, 2011 Members Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Keep in mind you always have the option to run for president too so you can fix the problems. As far as $4.00 a gallon gas it is past due. Just keep in mind that in European countries they have been paying double digit gas prices for years now. I agree that it is hard to swallow payments for many people but in the long run more demand equals more research equals more efficiency equals lower costs. I know this view will be supremely unpopular but hey, it is what it is.Randy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyger Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Considering I don't have the qualifications for President, that's out the window. Plus, I'd pass laws like "Anti-Stupid Act", LOL. But, I wil proclaim proudly that I did NOT vote this President in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been lucky in that we have had several warnings and price bumps that haven't lasted so long they've devastated the whole economy and thrown us into a depression. It has stimulated some research, so that when the inevitable happens, we will be somewhat better prepared for it. It sucks, but as you say, it is what it is.

Members SensualWoman Posted July 3, 2011 Members Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 The prices of everything are going up! Fortunately gas prices went down, but still a hard pill to swallow. I'm not in the states, but our leaders are telling us pretty much the same thing. Soon, the demand for eco-friendly transportation will cause prices for hybrids to go down. Maybe not so much for us in this decade, but the this generation of children most likely won't remember what a gas pump is. Here's hoping anyway.

Also, if you could pass a law to keep seniors off the roads after age 70, I'd appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
