Post subject: Gas Prices PostPosted: Tue Apr 15, '08, 1:45 pm 
 
How high is gas in your neighborhood? Has it gotten ridiculously high that you don't even go out as much as you use to anymore? Around here gas has gotten up to almost 4 dollars.. Its getting so ridiculously high that I perfer not to go anywhere. I remember when gas use to be just a little over a dollar. And this was back in the mid 90's.. what's goin on with the world that gas has to be so high

I'm not sure how high it is here exactly, but as far as I remember it hasn't dropped below $3 since last year. Gas is made from oil and the oil companies are the ones that cause the prices to go so high.

No clue, I don't get gas. But has anyone else noticed the gas prices in the movie , "I am Legend"? They're like 7 dollars almost. XD

You represent... apathy.You don't really show any emotion. You can be considered cruel and cold, but you just don't really care about anything. This is just the way you are... you're quite a challenge to get close to, and others may perceive you as boring.
Zeus was the Greek excuse for having no logical explination for lightning. Hades was for the death that baffled them. Posiedon tore apart at their shores. So Athena must have explained the people who didn't believe in the gods.

$7.00 seems ridiculously high for gas, but then again, the future could be upon us before we know it if things keep going the way they are right now.

Time to get the old bicycle out! :p

Most likely it'll hit $7.00 one day. I'm already riding my old bike everywhere. Soon everyone will be doin it. Its a conspiracy I tell ya, soon everyone will be riding bikes and walking but gas won't be decreasing so therefore pollution sorta goes down. Soon it'll be like those RPG's where only the rich will be able to do alot of things, (In our case its vehicles) and the poor will have to do everything else. (This happens today anyways but RPG's deal with it more so its a better explanation)

Yeah, the car companies really need to start rolling out more hybrid or non-gas cars. They could really capitalize on that now.
