Guys i hate to break it to you, my family is Colombian, and just got off the phone with my uncle their, and he said unleaded gas is 40 pesos exchange in $ is .75 cents a gal.. why is it that a THIRD WORLD Country can provide their people cheap gas, and free health care for life?? and even thou life is dangerous, they can still manage to drive their cars they buy from US AND CHINA??? and Venezuela has gas for 40 cents a gal... I am so sick of the US not doing shit for their people, This country is going to shit fast, and hell it might even become a third world country if this fucking government does wake up and smell the fucking coffee..

Gas in the us will reach $5.00 a gal by the end of 2008 and thats where it will stay for a while.....What will you do when you cant afford gas anymore and are forced to take the fucking bus????? why you say because the end of the middle class in the US is dying quick.. the US will be for the RICH... and the poor fuck them.... Looks like if shit don't change the PEOPLE will have to do what they have to do to survive!! and trust me I will too... The US Government doesn't give a FUCK!



^DITTO! a good start to ending this "crisis" would be getting that fuck head president w/ the 5th grade education out of office that has his hands in the oil business!

and notice that the Bro and the Ho running for prez this go round are only concerned for the money they raise for their campaigns!

personally, i think we are headed for another civil war! not to mention a depression!

and we dont have a leadership problem???

watch this short clip and you will quickly realize part of the gas price problem as well as the economy issues



i saw gas prices today at $4.00 something a gallon and this dumb ass says "its an uncertainty"!

WELL MR PRESIDENT!... ITS FUKIN CERTAIN THAT ITS $4.00 A GALLON IN NUMEROUS PLACES!

it shocks me that someone has shot that idiot yet...

i do agree that we need to dig here in the u.s.! my parents always taught me not to depend on someone for everything - why are we so dependant to other countries for gas? cause tree huggers are against drilling!

$3.49 -ish

Was going to go to Havoc Fresno but not after realizing it's going to cost over $200 in just gas alone. F-that

Own my own truck (semi)....800.00 fuel bill this week. And thats in-state trucking.

Both of the countries your refering to are considered "mixed markets" it's a combination of socialism and capitalism, which means they don't work on the same terms as our "free market" system. Both of those countries are very poor, but both of those countries also happen to be oil producing nations at the same time. There would be no possible way to sell gas to them on the same terms as us.

I agree 1000%. I'm republican but I will be so f'n glad to see bush gone. I think that is the key to lower gas prices.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_prices#Average_gasoline_prices_around_the_world

I payed $1.52 a litre for standard unleaded last week, i think that works out to $5.75 a gallon and it gone up since then....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opec#Responding_to_war_and_low_prices

esentially OPEC trading in the us dollar for many years, has kept our gas prices lower than the rest of the world. When other countries (venezuala & iran) began deciding to trade thier oil in the euro market, after we invaded iraq, other members of opec began talking about shifting all of thier trading into euro, along with them. Once that happened, fear drove our market cost up.
