of course it will. living in B.F.E. I have to travel 120mi. round trip to go to a real store. but if some one didn’t live here you would not have food in your stores.
- Posted by MichaelNo way Im paying over $3 a gallon.If it gets to that,I will sell my car and walk!I have a work vehicle and dont really use my car.GAS PRICES will go higher past $4 and its coming,Im going to sell the car and that will also end all my spending and I will not take a vacation again ! So go ahead and make it $4 a gallon ,BUSH ,Im pocketing the money you give me,I am NOT SPENDING IT!So kiss my dam ———
- Posted by ArtI think $5 a gallon for gas is a good thing. Maybe now all the soccer moms with 1 kid driving a Suburban will rethink what they are doing. Or how about the Yuppie’s owning a full size 4wheel drive truck for no reason will finally get a more responsible car.
- Posted by Troyi hear it all the time… “I need a large truck”. No, most people don’t. It’s convenient to have one, but you don’t need it. I drive a small, fuel efficient (relatively) SUV with a 4cyl engine. Yeah, I can’t pull a boat or half a soccer team, but it definately gets the job done.
There is the obvious down side to this, higher food prices, higher heating prices, etc, and it’s only going to get worse in the coming years. It’s definately an exciting time and I think we’re witnessing a transition for our country. My grandparents witnessed the emergence of the Car, the airplane, and the dependance on oil in our society… I think we’re witnessing the opposite. We’ll still have cars, and we’ll still have airplanes… but, they probably won’t be fueled by oil.
I think paying almost five dollars for one gallon of milk is absurd.So paying almost four dollars a gallon of gas,since there is much more work involved between drilling,refining,exporting.Maybe people should take a look at the prices of tomatoes,I paid almost five dolarrs for two about two weeks ago.So gas prices look cheap.
- Posted by lauraHey you DIMWITS that try to compare gas prices in European countries to Us, gimme a friggin break! Most of those countries are less than the size of Rhode Island, ok?!! It takes all day just to cross Texas!! Besides, they have a lot more public transportation over there, so its not a fair comparison , so get off it !!! IJJIT.
- Posted by Joe McDuffieI’ve just been doing my calculations and here in Ireland we are already paying the equivalent of $6.329 a gallon. Does this mean that there is hope for everyone else because of Ireland’s economic miracle? I don’t think so - we are just as hooked on oil as everyone else. The Irish government is currently investing all excess money in roads to keep us competitive but if people can’t afford to run cars then this is blinded forward planning. We should be investing in public transport - so should the States - the train is one jigsaw piece that could help us ride the wave of peak oil that is coming towards us. Surfs up!
