JStarbrite Posted March 24, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hasn't anybody noticed that the recent “crack down” coincides with spring break? Or haven't you noticed that gas prices go up just before a holiday? Are we stupid???? Corporate America thinks so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am especially irritated about the gas prices - since barrels of gas are lower than they have been in a LONG time. But I thought that I was the only one that thought we were being played as fools.

But I thought that I was the only one that thought we were being played as fools. Premium is 3.59 here in SD. It will level off a little and then go really high for the summer season. Figures that I have planned a 2 week driving trip with the kids to Yosimite, Lake Tahoe and the High Sierras. Gonna have to pick up some extra shifts to afford the gas.

And thats what "they" count on. Oh my gosh....and I was whining over $2.79 for premium. Enjoy your trip - it will be worth every gallon! It can be found cheaper inland but down town, where all the tourists are, thats what they are getting. Like bluefin said we won't stay home so they will continue to charge what ever they feel like charging and we will pay for it. In Grand Turk I heard the price of gas is over 8 dollars a gallon so I guess we should consider ourselves lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French_Fry Posted March 26, 2007 #18 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Gas prices love to rise and fall with election day too. Enforcing a rule prohibiting booze smuggling and increased gas prices are not equal issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskin80 Posted March 26, 2007 #20 Share Posted March 26, 2007 WOW, this did not occur to me. Gas in Denver is 2.55 for Regular unleaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southbayer Posted March 26, 2007 #21 Share Posted March 26, 2007 O.K. all you other stater's out there... I"m from L.A., and we're paying $3.15 a gallon for just reg unleaded. Do I think "Judging" from the number of cars still clogging the freeways that gas prices are high enough ? NO I don't see the out cry out there yet! I don't see hundreds or thousands of demonstaters out there, I don't see the news doing hours and hours of coverage of it. I don't see it as a main topic of discussion out there at all. The main thing out there now in the headlines is Global Warming, and some fat guy who spends $30,000.00 of utility usage each year for his one home.

woollys Posted March 26, 2007 #24 Share Posted March 26, 2007 When on our cruise and ported in Barbados, our guide told us they were paying 8$ per gallon there. He said that was good- it was 9 just the week before and the government stepped in and lowered it!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted March 26, 2007 #25 Share Posted March 26, 2007 When we were on our honeymoon almost 20 years ago in Italy, one thing that shocked me was that they gasoline was $4.50 a gallon....and again that was almost 20 years ago. We have it easy by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
