Gas prices entirely to high...
 

Gas prices are getting out of control....20 bucks only gets me 10 gallons of gas, thats fucking ridiculous. We are the biggest badest country on earth and we're letting our economy (which yes is driven on oil prices because everything relies on it) to be dictated to us by a bunch of third world pussy opec countries. I say enough is enough, its time to stand up to opec and tell them to fucking lower there gas prices or we're going to take there oil from them by force.

not another gas thread rolleyes:

Uhm.. Weve had prices similar to that for a bit over a year now over here.. oOo:
Whats your point?

Hey, I just had a great idea!

How about we invade a country where there's lots of oil?

My Cav gets grwta mileage any where from 550 to 600 km on one tank. As long as I don't own a Ford F-150 lol .

NOTHING you do is going to change it.

it does suck but i still laugh that people have no problem paying 1.25 for a 500ml bottle of water yet 80 cents for gas gets people pissed off. I still think Gas prices are fucking rediculous though mad:

A lot of money from the price of gas goes to tax.

In Canada it's even higher I believe. Something like 50% is tax if I remember correctly.

but that's for $1.35 per gallon; since 2002 the tax did not increase, oil proces increased some, but I believe most of the increase is going into somebody's bottom line mad:

Isnt it ironic that the strongest nation is in the hands of several large opec companies.
Shows you not to piss the Saudis off.

Where the fuck is all this oil at Bush?? We just invaded a whole country full of it eek:

Dude Iraq doesnt have much oil to begin with....thats why they invaded Kuwait back in 91. If you look at Iraqs coastline, you can see that their actual territory of beach is alot smaller in comparison to their neighbors. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the other nations have a shit load of more oil than Iraq.

"Iraq holds more than 112 billion barrels of oil -- the world's second largest proven reserves" eek:

where'd you get that from? I dont know about that one.

http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/topworldtables1_2.html still, this is from 2002 though.

ya the problem for sadam in 91 was not that didnt have alot of oil....he just needed alot more because his current amount was not covering his huge war debt from fighting a 10 year losing war with iran. kuwait just seemed to him like an extremely wealthy and easy target that would solve all of his problems.

http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/iraq.html well then he got a lotta oil outa his ass recently biggrin:

you cant use the same website to dispute my information, its just not fair...i win.

woah crazy, i didnt even know it was the same one! ed:

that's production though,
no point in Iraq producing a lot of oil in 2002 when no one could buy it due to Un sanctions

Paid 91.9/litre this morning. Fuck sakes.

$20 put me just over 1/2 tank. annoy:

hmmm
 

i wonder who was the one to start the gas threads?

ME!
but who cares...

gas prices are a dick in the ass... i just got my license though i have a brand new honda accord and it gets like 28 mpg , i still pay for it with the little money i have with my job...
