| | are the gas prices killing you yetPage 1 of 27 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27) | I kinow these prices are starting to take affected on me. Just to fill my truck is 65.00 it use to be 25.00. I wish places of employment would get people raises because shortly we are not going to get to work.
Does the Goverment really think that we are going to be able to keep going with prices shooting thru the roof The prices where i live are up to 2.79 gal in north jersey they are 3.07.
This f--- up
So Now tell if the gas is killing all of you too? | |

Posted: 8/31/2005 6:43:01 AM | | I just keep myself from driving so much. I'll drive somewhere maybe twice a week. I'm a poor college student, so I have to.. *ahem*... cut some corners. | |

Posted: 8/31/2005 12:59:39 PM | | The fat cats are winning. The gas you buy today was bought by them up to 3 years ago. To say a storm in the states hurt the gas companies is a crock. Hmm wasn't the war the reason a few years ago. I'm getting a horse. | |

Posted: 8/31/2005 4:26:16 PM | | I wish I could use a horse for my sales portion of my business, yet that is NOT possible. The constant gas increases not only hurt myself, they hurt every single person regardless if they own a SUV or walk to where they need to go. Point is that when the gas goes up, so does the cost to get that product to the retailer. Now wouldn't it be sweet if the wages would rise as well...lol. | |

Posted: 8/31/2005 4:28:59 PM | People have told me I should ride my horse to work. I may have to figure out how long that would take.
After Katrina, prices are going to go up some more. Our oil refinery is now under water. Bummer. | |

It hit 3.19 a gallon today! as i said in another post.. 20 bones to fill the gas can to run the lawn mower?

Posted: 8/31/2005 6:09:11 PM | | I bill all my customers a fuel surcharge now to cover my costs in fuel. I don't like to do this but I'm not going to suffer because some idiots decided to jack the price of fuel. | |

Posted: 4/9/2008 5:00:12 AM | If gas prices are killing you do what I do............... I save a dollar a gallon and get 6 miles more a gallon of gas and it cleans my engine. Check it out it's awsome and works! www.icareabutit.com/Joanne This is not new it's been around for 13 yrs!!!

Posted: 4/9/2008 2:56:15 PM | Maybe I'll change my driving habits at $4.00.
A little over a year ago I traded my 15mpg truck for a 31 mpg car. With gas a dollar a gallon higher I still spend less on gas than over a year ago.
Business wise. The amount of money we have to pay in fuel surcharges is beyond obscene but I know it still barely covers the extra cost to the trucking guys. | |

Posted: 4/9/2008 3:25:10 PM | where I live the price of bus fare has gone up(percentage wise) more than the price of gas. I don't really care about the price of gas since I jog or bike 5 kms to work everyday, even in winter. I hope the price keeps going up and up.
I heard that the world will be completely out of gasoline in around 50 years..... there ya go. | |

Posted: 4/9/2008 3:47:34 PM | | until we stop driving the 6000 pound suv half a mile to the variety store or dropoff and pickup the kids from school when they could walk and until we give up the 400 hp trucks....we will pay and pay.... Look at europe.... It is around ten bucks a gallon... it will get to that here if we keep burning it up | |

Posted: 4/9/2008 3:48:01 PM | Geo Metros have never sounded SO good....
Aww...I used to have a Geo Metro and I swear that was the best car ever!
I now drive a small econo. 4 door KIA that's pretty good on gas -- it's not as good as the Geo was but it's okay.
I also only live 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) from my work and my apartment complex is surrounded by stores that I can walk or bike to.
So no, the gas prices are not killing me (yet)...rent and food prices are though...does that count?

Posted: 4/10/2008 5:52:25 AM | My car is a 4 cylinder turbo, I think it gets around 29MPG. My truck is a 6, not sure on the milage, but I'm not really feeling it yet. I feel for the guys with the big duallys, but we all choose our vehicles.

Posted: 4/10/2008 7:38:16 AM | | I have decided to work from home to help save on gas costs, and am cutting the kids extra currics to only those close to home rather than all over the city. I drive a minivan out of necessity(4 kids) going to a smaller vehicle is not possible, nor is cycling etc. So I have to simple cut drive time as much as I can. | |
