Farging gas prices

[PhillyPhanInDC]

I was reading the same article earlier. With little exception, a car that can get 230MPG, like those Prius' in the article, with a twenty gallon fuel tank would get 4600 miles to a tank of gas. You'd change your oil one and a half times before that. Granted, you gotta plug it in to charge up, but it'll go 40-60 miles without needing a charge. I have a pretty long commute in my opinion, about 25 miles, that'd be right in my wheelhouse. The oil companies are like the Cigarette companies though, even though they know for are doing more harm than good, they continue to fight (HARD) to do so.

We I move to Yetiville I am getting a horse.  It can cut your lawn and get you to the store.

I hadn't been looking but the last time I filled my gas tank, gas was $2.16 a gallon for regular. That was about a week ago. I went past that same station today (which has the lowest price in this area) and its farging $2.46 for regular. 

Farging farg farg farg!    This is farging ridiculous already. 

That number is now up to $2.59, just an fyi.

Some interesting tidbits:

Top 10 Oil Producers, 2004 (In millions of barrels per day):

1. Saudi Arabia 10.37
2. Russia 9.27
3. United States 8.69  
4. Iran 4.09 
5. Mexico 3.83 
6. China 3.62 
7. Norway 3.18
8. Canada 3.14 
9. Venezuela 2.86 
10. United Arab Emirates 2.76


Top 10 Oil Consumers, 2004 (in millions of barrels per day):
1. United States 20.5 
2. China 6.5 
3. Japan 5.4 
4. Germany 2.6
5. Russia 2.6 
6. India 2.3
7. Canada 2.3 
8. Brazil 2.2
9. South Korea 2.1
10. France 2.0


Top 10 Oil Importers, 2004 (in millions of barrels per day):
1. United States 11.8
2. Japan 5.3
3. China 2.9
4. Germany 2.5
5. South Korea 2.1
6. France 2.0
7. Italy 1.7
8. Spain 1.6
9. India 1.5
10. Taiwan 1.0


Points that came to my mind:
1.  The U.S. produces enough oil to supply the needs of every nation PLUS have some left to export- except the United States.
2.  In 2003, we were actually 2nd in oil production.  Russia snuck in this year.
3.  The U.S. and China are the only two nation in the top 10 in oil production that must import crude oil (China imports about 2/5 of it's oil).
4.  The U.S. uses more oil per day than #2-6 on the consumpion list- TOGETHER.

Just came across this last year while preparing a lesson on the Arab Oil Embargo, and thought it would be interesting to share.

Does that list include all the K-Y that is used on T-Hawk on his 'dates'.

Gas prices could hit $5 a gallon because of this bitch Rita

I'm sick of this gas price crap. The gov't could do something about this but they don't. Stick it to the people, they like fargin Americans in the ass.

K-Y is water based, not petrolium.

WOOOHOOOO

Exxon has to get their record breaking profits somehow

[hunt]

i'm not worried...everybody's gonna stop buying gas from the 2 largest oil companies, which will force prices down.  that's what it says in that e-mail i got so it must be true.

[Rome]

Oil companies are enjoying their greatest profits ever these days.

Still are nearly a year later...

Why wouldn't they?  They have their very own dirty little oil pimp residing in the White House after all.

I'm driving 1500 miles starting tonight.  I'm figuring i'm gonna get raped for about $300 while driving to PA.  What a shame it is.  When i first went to Texas, gas was like 1.20 a gallon and we were bitching then.  Sumbitch oil whores!

[SD_Eagle5]

You had to know they were going to raise prices once the spring/summer time rolled around...they do every year. I paid $2.62 per gallon for regular at the pump this morning.
