Record high prices, and record high profits.......? Who is getting wealthy beyond most of our comprehension, while claiming to be trying to control oil prices? You see, they actually ARE controlling oil prices, and always have been. They were simply not as blatantly greedy about it as they are now. And as for not buying gas today, I didn't. I have no illusions at all about it causing them to drop, or sending any message. They could really care less. We could all go on strike a week, and the country itself would lose billions, but 1 week would not in any way inconvenience the oil companies. They would simply cut back on production and do maintenance until we wised up. They have the oil, and we can't simply do without it except in extremely rare cases. If you(not meaning you personally John) honestly think you can, you are most likely mistaken.

If yesterday was suppose to be the "do not buy gas day"I couldn't have telled.Cars were lined up all the way out in the streets were gas was still $3.13 at a couple stations.I believe gas is around the $3.39-$3.49 mark today.I may have to look into trading my F-150 in for a Prius or Focus.

It went from $3.06 yesterday to $3.24 this morning here. I filled up last night just because $3.36 was strongly rumored to happen. Right now $4 per gallon isn't looking too far fetched, and the heavy Summer use season hasn't even started yet.

I stopped for gas yesterday on my way home, it was a bit crowded, but I did fill er up (17 gal). All stations had it priced at $3.38 or higher and I got in at Thortons where it was still $3.14.
Maybe I'm too thick in the skull but I just don't understand the whining, griping and complaining about the price of gas. It is going up like every thing else already has, including wages. I don't see a thread about the increased prices of cars, trucks, homes, ATVs, motorcycles, doctor visits, tooth fillings, speeding tickets, ammo, bows, guns, postage stamps, soda, beer, milk, bread, candy bars, water and everything else we consume or use. When have you seen something actually go down in price? This may be a good thing posting about the gas prices because I've seen very little attacks on each other here and on other sites. So can someone please explain to me what I'm missing here as to why I'm not upset about the gas prices? Of course I'll probably get blasted for what I just said.

Ok,here's how I feel about gas prices and why I don't like them...I really don't expect some of you who are well off and have a good jobs to understand how I feel and I'm ok with that.
I lost my job of 10 years back in september to Mexico.It wasn't the best job in the world but I liked it.Anything that happened to other people,like loosing their job also,was no big deal to me since I had mine..I didn't care...Now,here I am in those peoples shoes trying to figure out what I'm going to do,how to pay my bills...I have been going back to college since the first of the year and just completed my first semester in order to learn some new skills to where I can have a chance at a good job when I'm finished.It cost me almost $80-$90 a week for gas at these prices..It kills me since I only get a certain amount of money a week(about half of what I was making working)so any increase in anything hurts.Sure I could go get a job some where making $7-$8/hr and give up my TRA..I'm done with that crap..This is probably my only chance at school and I'm going to finish it...When I'm done with school I will have Electrical,HVAC,Welding,Plumbing and Carpentry skills.Then I can say goodbye to those jobs that don't pay peanuts.

As someone who's been around for a while and seen gas sold at full service stations (when was the last time you saw one of these) for $018.9 a gallon and see where it is now close to $3.50 a gallon with record profits each quarter its kind of upsetting.
Gas is not a luxury item as it once was, its now a necessity just like electricity and should be regulated in my opinion. Energy companies create false shortages to keep gasoline at record prices and will continue to do so until we take some kind of action. What that action should be i have no idea.
Id like to see the government put on a wind fall tax but that will never happen because energy companies are usually the largest campaign donaters. Who's going to bite the hand that feeds them?
The only way I can fight back at energy companies is to drive less and that exactly what I plan to do this summer. h.h.

OMG just how old are you anyway h.h.? ;D My father(God rest his soul) said he remembered pumping gas all day at 6 gallons for a dollar when he was a young kid, and he was born in 1913! That would be about 16 cents a gallon. My furthest memory would be the mid 60's, when it went from .36 to .39 a gallon, and my father was VERY vocal about it being bs for gas to jump 3 cents at a time! Poor feller would have blown a gasket had he lived to fill up a tank these days.

I'm old enough to remember the "gas wars". Gas was 17 cents/gallon. We local hoodlums would pool our change, put in a dollars worth, drive around town all night, never get outside of the city limits, put 100 miles on a car, and still have gas left. Ah, the good old days!
