Gas Prices Are Too High!

[Jesse30]

Keep your douchebag chain emails to yourself. Next you'll believe an email from bill gates offering you money. If you were still curious to read it, the sentence saying the two biggest companies are exxon and mobil. They're the same fucking company.

Elvis is alive, someone in Nigeria has your inheritance, and you're an idiot wasting bandwith.

Oil profits decrease exponentially the further you get from the well. Trying to fuck with your local gas station who is making 2 pennies a gallon won't accomplish jack. Hurry up and text message 10 of your friends a poem about true love so you'll have 7 days of good luck, but don't clutter a good board.

HAHA calm the fuck down man.

p.s. So I won't find true love tomorrow at the strike of noon with my high school crush? :(

[Jesse30]

wow, everyone is getting rowdy over this. found this on another local board and sounded like a good idea so i figured i would post it in another place that got a lot of traffic.

i'll let everyone continue getting mad over a small thread that is "cluttering" up our board.

:D

If this were to happen again, it might be easier to circumvent the rationing and long lines because we have 24 hour gas stations that let you pay at the pump unlike the 70's when they had full service and set business hours.

Wanna try again, the problem was a lack of gas, not folks to run the store.

Some gas stations will even take a small lose on gas just so by change you go inside and buy a bottle of coke and they make it back and some profit.

That is very true.

Dear All

My thanks to all those who have sent me emails this past
year........

I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat shit in
the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with
every envelope that needs sealing.

Also,I now have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same
reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl
(Penny Brown); who is about to die in the hospital for the
1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I
receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending
me for participating in their special e-mail program ....

Or from the senior bank clerk in Nigeria who wants to split $7
million with me for pretending to be a long lost relative of a
customer who died intestate.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels
looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every
wish.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like
a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if
I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within
five minutes.

Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca-Cola because it can
remove toilet stains..

I no longer can buy petrol without taking a friend along to watch
the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm
filling up.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with
an aftershave sample and rob me.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a
number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica ,
Uganda , Singapore and Uzbekistan .

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big
brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant
death when it bites my bum.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't even pick up the £5.00 I
found dropped in the car park because it probably was placed there
by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the
next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhoea will land on your head at
5:00pm this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest
your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump.

I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of
my next door neighbour's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's
cousin's beautician.

By the way....a South American scientist after a lengthy study has
discovered that people with a low IQ who have
infrequent sexual activity always read their e-mails with their
hand on the mouse.

Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late!

[Farbin Kaiber]

Haha.. people are so delusional. Bring on $10/gal, so I can watch the smug fall of their faces. I will laugh my ass off.

You say that now.

This will definitely work!

Just wait, soon the days of a bunch of black civcs w/ green neon are gonna start jacking Benito trucks on Highway 86.

[2Big4a3Series]

would you rather pay $4/gallon and be able to get gas whenver you need it, or wait in line for 4 hours at $3 a gallon, and still not be able to fill your tank because they have to ration everyone to a few gallons each?

If this were to happen again, it might be easier to circumvent the rationing and long lines because we have 24 hour gas stations that let you pay at the pump unlike the 70's when they had full service and set business hours.

But if there was a shortage, I believe that the same people who are complaining now would be more than willing to pay $7-$8 a gallon if faced with the possibility of not being able to buy gas at all. This is exactly how I felt when gas hit the $2 mark and we had a temporary shortage in my part of town. I complained about the price but when I saw a "NO GAS" sign at every other station, I started getting nervous.

I have another solution to lower your fuel bill. Drive smaller cars. Go to work by bus or bicycle. Don't live two hours away from work. Tell your "investing friends" on Wall Street to stop speculating on fuel.

My shopp it's about 6-7 mins from home, and the other shopp it's about 3-4 mins from home too. Gym it's about 5 mins from home....I go WOT all dya in the bimma and the Jeep :D

Our gas prices per gallons are 5-5.5 $ also, but this is being applied from long time ago, now news for us.

[nando]

Why don't people realize that OPEC is a CARTEL and price fixing is their game? There's no way they would allow Exxon Mobil to lower their prices without expulsion from the cartel, which would mean certain bankruptcy. The only way to get oil companies to lower their prices is to set price limits on their products or else lower demand by not buying ANY gas from any of the OPEC nations at all. Like that will ever happen.

haha, go read some history - we tried price caps on gas in the 70's (thanks jimmy carter). guess what happened? massive shortages. would you rather pay $4/gallon and be able to get gas whenver you need it, or wait in line for 4 hours at $3 a gallon, and still not be able to fill your tank because they have to ration everyone to a few gallons each? queueing theory..
