heh yeah you gotta nut it out. The gas prices will not stablize until after the elections. (probably around november). the problem is not the shortage we have in california, its elsewhere in the country, so we also need to supply the other states which causes us some disparity in our supplies. And also the fact that OPEC (the oil oligopoly in the middle east) are playing around with us. Unless we bomb the crap out of them and take the oil for ourselves (which we are doing in Iraq), our oil supply will always be fu(ked by the middle east. However, as much as you guys feel the gas prices are high in the U.S, if you travel overseas to europe or asia, their gas prices are astronomical. so dont feel too bad.

Got gas at Shell tonight: $2.35 a gallon. My Citibank/Shell MasterCard gives me 5% off so that's like $2.23 a gallon, but still, ouch!

Kinda makes me wish for a 6th/overdrive gear. :roll:

my family back in indiana were complaining about gas prices this weekend. i just laughed and told them how much we pay. they shut up. oh yeah, you can find premium 93/94 for about $1.90 there.

Huh? Lining the pockets of oil executives? Adding to tax revenue that just gets wasted? Funding countries whose governments support terrorists? Which of those do you consider "good"? :roll:
