gas prices

[Leto729]

I don't see gas going down to $1.00 anymore though.

Yeah i know, that sucks. Id be happy to see it a $2 a gallon though.

Yeah that would better than $3.00 a gallon gas for sure in the end.

the lack of foresight, the ignorance, the selfishness and the irresponsbility continue to astonish me.

i fucking well give up with some people.  part of me thinks they deserve everything that happens to them.

[odeon]

Don't give up just yet.

You must remember what happens to them effects all of Us in the end.

you might want to remember that when all the low-lying cities on the eastern seaboard are under 20 feet of water, kevv.  YOU must remember that events like the tsunami of 2004 and hurricane katrina last year are the end of a process which starts (in part) with your "$1 a gallon" petrol.

[McGiver]

hy-brid.

[odeon]

Actually the tsunami happened for different reasons entirely, and the jury's still out on Katrina.

seeing as he's american, i didn't think he'd be particularly interested in what was happening in places such as the eastern coast of the UK, and in bangladesh. 

i used the examples above as i thought there might be a vague chance an american may know where they are.  and this is going by all the things i'm informed about the media not covering much that happens outside of the US, and not a personal go at kevv.

thanks for the support...

I can understand that, but don't use examples that have nothing to do with gas prices. That's not helping the cause at all.

If you want a truly scary one, consider the report from a week or two ago that said that in 70 years, a third or so of the globe will be barren, with about as much water as the Gobi desert.

As I said $1.00 gas is a thing of the past I believe and will not come back if ever in the end. I don't even drive anymore either walk or use public transportation or cab here and there.

The part in bold comes across to me as a personal go at Kevv, even if you did not intend it that way, Lucifer.

The underlined part comes across to me as a dig at all Americans in general.

What some Europeans do not seem to understand is how huge the distances are here in the US and some of them seem to think that it would be practical for us to walk everywhere rather than driving, and if we don't we are ignorant, selfish and irresponsible, which I think is a bit snobbish of them.

the hybrids that i am talking about are mostly batteries that use very little gas.

about 60-70 miles per gallon.

I've read the hybrids are not getting close to what the manufacturer claims.

VW diesels are where it's at.
Plenty of power and I'm averaging 40 mpg....it'll get 50+ on the highway...even higher if I drove the speedlimit
Almost non-existant green house gass emissions, fuel is less refined which conserves energy and helps the environment, will run on bio-diesel made from used cooking oil.

Diesels pump out a lot of particulates, which particularly affects cyclists, since they share lanes with diesel buses and taxis.  Being stuck behind an old bus as it pulls out from the bus stop and ejects a billowing cloud of black soot is hardly a pleasant experience, and leaves my lungs feeling like they've been coated in filth (which, incidentally, they have).

I don't be a bit snobbish gas price here in the U.S. will never though go below $1.00 a gallon in the U.S. either anymore. If it was a personsonal dig at Me Lucifer You are wrong I believe for I look beyond it all in the end. It will all effect Us in the in end too. For that is how this worlds works does it not. We have gas cheaper here than Europe always have too. But China and India have stopped that and now consume more oil and gas today Russia has become a bigger producer of oil Than Saudi Arabia today too. We can maybe blame the Russians for lower oil prices in the U.S.. Not the political climate here in the U.S. in the end. It is matter prospective Lucifer is it not. To Me it not matters Who is right or wrong it how it is in the end. Nothing more than that. Prices could have gone down here in the U.S. because of demand or supply here in the U.S.. China and India have become the newest consumers of oil today in this world. So $1.00 a gallon gas here in the U.S. will never be seen any that is how I see it. Europe has done it differently right or wrong it is done differently. That is what matters here in America not in Europe in the end. Read what I say carefully all.
