Warik is a die hard BUSH fan ... BUSH owns the oil companies ... HE'S MAKING A RUN FOR YOUR GAS MONEY ..... ignore WARIK .... he's a rich fuckin republican who don't give a rat's ass on the rest of the Americans.
 
I know what yall mean..my golden Eagle CJ5 used to enjoy it now its only a pleasure weekend machine(drinks too much gas) 350V8,4 bbl holly carb,260degree competition cam ,headers,Warn all wheel drive.Saturdays & sundays is about all i can afford.....Puttin...no gunnin the gas..................:( RADAR
 
Shit guys, you think yours is expensive. You wanna check out UK prices, that's why we had a petrol strike recently. $30 is about £25 yeah? Well in the UK to fill up your average Jeep it would cost at least £50. It costs about £30+ to fill your average 1.4 small family car. Remember our cars are in the most smaller as well.
 
This weeks price to fill up my pickup is $102 canadian.
Prob equivalent to $68 us dollars.

Warik you said its only $780 bucks a year.
Thats true but lets look at the increase in the past year and a half.
My $102Canadian($68us) a year and a half ago used to cost $66can($44us) and at 3-4 tanks average lets say 3.5 for the hell of it gives me a old cost of $2772can($1851us) a year to a cost today of $4284can(($2856us) per year.

As far as if you can't afford it don't drive easier said than done> i Like many others need my truck for work and the simple solution is to say pass along the cost to the customer but in the real world ie competition you can't just raise you price like that unless you are a monopoly.

No matter where we live right now Canada, USA, Europe the bottom line is we are getting fucked period.

That extra $1000-1500 bucks a year I lose and whatever other people are losing right now could have gone towards investment, savings, or buying stuff that keeps the economies strong. Yet the only people making any real money right now are the oil companies.

And people who say stop complaining just don't drive well I have one thing to say to them. Don't complain when you are paying 50-100% more for items from your local grocery store because of the increased fuel costs they incur to transport the goods to us.

Not really. I disagree with many of the things Dubya has done.

He owns 'em all, eh? Maybe he should call Bill Gates and ask for some advice on monopoly lawsuit strategy. What do you think?

Bush owns the oil companies... give me a break. You know how much all the oil companies are worth? I'd be retired, lol.

1) He's not making a run for my gas money.

2) Don't ignore Warik.

3) I'm not a "rich fuckin Republican." I've been told recently that I'm actually more of a Libertarian. I guess I'll find out some day.

4) True, I don't give a rat's ass about the rest of Americans. I actually don't give a rat's ass about the rest of the world, too. What has the rest of the world done for me? Nothing is free in this life, buddy. Pay for your gas and quit crying.

You're complaining about Dubya's performance in regard to taking care of gas prices. True, you're Canadian, but since Bush "owns all the oil companies," I guess you don't like him either. Let's all blame one man instead of realizing the fact that gas prices have not kept up with inflation like almost every other good or service out there and that they're simply going up for one reason or another. No, let's cry and want things for free.

I have to pay for my own gas? Wahhh!

Real money? Uh, Exxon's profit margin right now is somewhere around 6%-7%. That's garbage. One could get a better return in a decent mutual fund or even a friggin' CD! I wonder why all the big gas people don't just sell the whole company and dump their money into a good CD and end up making better annual returns by doing less work? Boy, I wonder how much crying everyone would do when they suddenly found out that they'd have NO gas at all.

Hey Warik....Pal! I gotta a right to bitch about gas if i want to. It's America isn't it? I am putting reguar in my fucking Jeep and it still costs $30.
I make enough money to put Gas in my truck (Well atleast until June 30th)...all i am doing is ranting and if you downloaded the bitmap attachment you could have seen a funny joke.

What is the big deal?
