What's the price of gas where you are?

[fickerson]

if taxes were raised on gas, and the revenue put towards public transportation, in the long run there would be a decrease in demand and eventually prices. of course, this will never happen, because it would be wildly unpopular. and so the cycle continues, brought to you by our good friends at OPEC.

[Wilco Worshipper]

It's $3.17 in my town here in Mass, but if you sneak just a few towns over you can get it for $2.95...sooo weird!!! So that is INDEED, what I do, as I go out there every Thursday night anyway. I went once during the daytime and the lines were ridiculous, as you can imagine!

[allgodsmoney]

4000 US dead, Unknown Iraqi casulties. 3 trillion in debt for my kids to pay.

 

That's the price of gas for me.

 

I'll be riding my bike to work, but we are driving to St. louis to see the boys.

 

I guess I'm the International enabler!

Wouldn't that kind of favor big cities over rural areas?

[Atticus]

you people should change your perspective. I just think of it as "freedom fuel"

 

I'm a great american

[explodo]

I just went over 40 for the first time yesterday. I have the smallest gas tank in the world, so that was pretty hard to stomach. But, you know, we could be in the Ukraine or something. I sometimes wish they would just hurry up and hit six or seven dollars a gallon so Americans could be forced to adjust their lifestyles accordingly, but then I remember that not everybody lives in a city where they could be taking a bus or train everywhere.

of course it would, in the short term. but eventually, lower prices (and lower dependency on oil, and less control and wealth for the saudis) would benefit everyone.

But freedom's only supposed to cost $1.05.

[kimcatch22]

$3.69 at a lot of gas stations on the north side of Chicago, but it's already been explained how many extra taxes are in that price.

 

But at $75 for a monthly CTA pass (which I don't even have, but just saying,) and $0 for my walk to work, I don't fill up very often and can usually hold out until a trip to the burbs to visit my family. I can't imagine what it would be like to pay Chicago gas prices once every week or two.

you can't put a price on freedom. unless maybe your name is Muhammad

[jenbobblehead]

caliber often fills my tank* so i guess that makes it free.

What would you do

If you were asked to give up your dreams for freedom

What would you do

If asked to make the ultimate sacrifice

 

Would you think about all them people

Who gave up everything they had.

Would you think about all them War Vets

And would you start to feel bad

 

Freedom isn't free

It costs folks like you and me

And if we don't all chip in

We'll never pay that bill

Freedom isn't free

No, there's a hefty fuckin' fee.

And if you don't throw in your buck o' five

Who will?

 

What would you do

If someone told you to fight for freedom.

Would you answer the call

Or run away like a little pussy

'Cause the only reason that you're here.

Is 'cause folks died for you in the past

So maybe now it's your turn

To die kicking some ass

 

Freedom isn't free

It costs folks like you and me

And if we don't all chip in

We'll never pay that bill

Freedom isn't free

Now there's a hefty fuckin' fee

And if you don't throw in your buck o' five

Who will?

 

You don't throw in your buck 'o five. Who will?

Oooh buck o' five

Freedom costs a buck 'o five

[TCP]

I don't have a clue what a "gallon" is but I can tell you that gas here is $1.25 a LITRE!!!! Which is similar to last summers prices! And it's only March April.

I just got a job but it appears all my income will go towards keeping my gas guzzling pick up truck running.

[benjamin]

Wanna know where the lowest gas prices in town are? http://www.gasbuddy.com/

I won't let you down

I will not give you up

Gotta have some faith in the sound

It's the one good thing that I've got

I won't let you down

So please don't give me up

Because I would really, really love to stick around

 

Heaven knows I was just a young boy

Didn't know what I wanted to be

I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy

And I guess it was enough for me

To win the race? A prettier face!

Brand new clothes and a big fat place

On your rock and roll TV

But today the way I play the game is not the same

No way

Think I'm gonna get me some happy

 

I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I told you so

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone else I've got to be

Take back your picture in a frame

Take back your singing in the rain

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

 

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

 

Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy

What a kick just a buddy and me

We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy

We were living in a fantasy

We won the race

Got out of the place

I went back home got a brand new face

For the boys on MTV

But today the way I play the game has got to change

Oh yeah

Now I'm gonna get myself happy

 

I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I stopped the show

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone I forgot to be

Take back your picture in a frame

Don't think that I'll be back again

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

 

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

 

Well it looks like the road to heaven

But it feels like the road to hell

When I knew which side my bread was buttered

I took the knife as well

Posing for another picture

Everybody's got to sell

But when you shake your ass

They notice fast

And some mistakes were built to last

 

That's what you get

 

I say that's what you get

 

That's what you get for changing your mind

 

And after all this time

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes

Do not make the man

 

I'll hold on to my freedom

May not be what you want from me

Just the way it's got to be

Lose the face now

I've got to live

Atlanta: I think this morning it was $3.29 for low grade.

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

Heh... $3.20 per gallon regular unleaded. Cost me $70 for 3/4 of a tank this morning.

 

The wife's high mileage Lexus needs teh premium gas...that nice $3.70 per gallon stuff.

[allgodsmoney]

$x (or oil)=Freedom?

 

 

 

What we pay for oil is too much.

 

I would pay all for freedom.

I haven't had my freedom taken from me.

[Good Old Neon]

$3.19 as of this morning, but that was hours ago, in oil time, it could be ten or more cents higher at this time of day.

[yermom]

It was $3.28 for the middle stuff last night. I wish my town was more hospitable to bike riders and that we had good public transport. When I was a kid in OKC, I loved riding the Metro bus with my mom and she'd let me push the little strip on the window that goes "beee-dooo" when it was time to get off.

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

I'm a great american

 

 

I'll be looking for you on your 10-speed on the Hardy Tollway...

[W(TF)]

Around $1.12 a liter. It's been higher than this...and I don't think I've seen gas below $0.95 in the last five years.

[aricandover]

$3.89 for regular, today.

[tellya]

We don't have a use for gasoline in these parts. My horse Jethro is hitched up in the backyard and says you people are crazy for spending that much.

[Analogman]

I don't own a car - but I often wonder how people afford to fuel all the Hummers, Cadillac Escalades, etc. that I see the college kids driving around here.
