Gas prices back under $2/Gallon in the US
« on: February 14, 2007, 07:26:22 PM »
Now people are abandoning the greener vehicles like the Toyota Prius and going back to driving fatass gas guzzling Luxo SUV's again. --Let's give a big round of applause to the fact that people in Nova Scotia will soon be able to sun themselves in bikini tops in January --without travelling to Florida.  :grrr:

bah, I would love some 'o that global warming right about now, I just spent 5 hours shoveling snow.  Which was oddly sugar like in consistency.  That and I do A LOT of driving (over 2 hours a day) so I love the cheap(er) gas.  But i do drive a tiny car so I think I'm done talking now. Nope, still going.
give me a damn taco

We pay about $6/ gallon ($1.50/litre) in Sweden. When the gas was at its highest cost here, it was more expensive per litre as it is per gallon where it is as cheapest in the US now (one US gallon is 3.8 litres)...So don't complain that much, will you?

Actually, I'm complaining about the fact that people here in the US seem to be abandoning the concept of energy efficiency now that the threat of high gas prices seem to be fading.

I know, I can read English. I still don't like your complaints.

I think this ethanol/hybride thing is just a great bogus. Why do they blame ordinary people? The governments and great corporations have known this for a very long time, much longer than the public. They're not complete idiots. But now the environmentalist mafia has set pressure on them, so they have to do something, and of course it's the little man who is going to pay for it.

Actually, I think Americans need another kick in the ass or two. In the seventies, when there was a, created-on-demand, Energy crisis, I was driving a hotrod Mustang Mach 1 gas guzzler, and a big motor pick-up truck, and I had to wait in line to get gasoline, many times. Often the one hundred octane, which  my Mustang needed, was not available. I bought a Fiat 124 Spider. Many people suddenly had small cars.

We need something to serve as a reality check for all these yuppies, driving these ridiculoius trucks to pick up their kids from soccer.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I don't drive some stupid truck, I drive a Volvo 850, which "drinks" 0.08 litres/km or about 0.032 gallons/mile (95 octane gasoline). I can't afford a more environmental friendly car at the moment.

They firstly sold this E85, which is 85% ethanol and 15% 95 octane gasoline, for about $1/litre or $4/gallon, which at the time was about half the price of  95 octane gasoline. You could mix 80% 95 octane gasoline with 20% E85 in a car like mine and it would still function properly, but then they raised the price of E85, so that it became almost as expensive as 95 octane gasoline. Since there is less energy in E85, the costumer/driver will just lose on driving on E85. So the oil companies don't seem very interested in the environment, at least not when they will have to pay for it. And the government doesn't seem very interested in it either, since otherwise they'd have forced the oil companies to lower the prices... ::)

Actually I gave you a minus one for making light of child abuse, but since I'd applauded you for making me laugh about 10 minutes earlier it took 2 points off you.  Smite me back baby, you know you want to  :dom:

I'd fuck you up your British arse, if England wasn't that far away.  8)

I did not make light of child abuse, I just said that they hunt parents like they used to hunt witches. Of course there are pedophiles, but the absolute majority of parents are not pedophiles. My father used to shower and then go with his cock dangling from the bathroom to the bedroom, before dressing. Perfectly natural, but I know at least one Swedish parent of today that ended up in jail for doing that and nothing else, because some shrink peace of shit managed to twist the facts into something entirely different...The man's penis happened to touch his daughters arm for about 1/10 second, and presto! he was a pedophile!  ::)

I can understand what you're saying, but I think there's a difference between being naked around your kids and showing them the kind of porn pic nomaken was talking about.  People who think that makes you a peodophile are assuming that a naked body is always sexual, however when is porn not sexual?
