    without being too crude, can I suggest that if they are going to screw us like that, that they at least give us a kiss afterward?:laugh:

    Today in my town SELF SERVE 1.32.9 a litre (about 5.32 US gallon) Even a small car is too much for gas to run it!! No reprieve in site either

    It's ridiculous...it's almost to the pt. where it's cheaper to eat processed crap than it is to eat what's good for you.

    I saw a commercial today from " feed the children" asking for donations because it costs them too much to fill up the delivery truck :brokenheart:

    The only way around it is to stop driving so much/carpool, do more in one trip rather than making seperate trips for different stores/post office/ etc. The only way to make the price go down is to make the demand drop.
    If possible in your area, use public transportation.
    I've heard some bosses/corporations are up for work at home days to save on gas....

    Oh boy I just filled up my truck....$97.00 later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:explode:

    I told hub we are trading in at least on of the trucks because this is insane...I can't wait for the summer when I can take the commuter rail because I won't have to drop my son and pick him up from school so no driving 30-45 mins each way and no more parking @12 bucks a day...we'll save a ton!!! but with the $$$ cost of food by then we'll probably end up pretty even...sigh!!

    Dear Santa....prius....please!:ohwell:

    hugs!

    I agree with you there. I only go to the store ONCE a week instead of running back and forth for a couple of things each time.
    I wish there were public transport in my area, I would use it, but I don't live near a bus line.
    I've cut back on my driving a lot...I used to drive to see my family every weekend, but I can't afford it. I go once or twice a month now...:ohwell:

    If you smoke, stop, and use the money for gas. You will have better health, live longer and the food you do get to eat will taste better. :heart:

    You know i just bought a car it is a 1992 gets 33 miles a gallon because i could not afford to drive my van anymore so i still pay $320 a month on my van payment but haven't driven it in weeks because i can't afford to get back and forth to work in it anymore it was costing me 20 a day!! And the kids and i never go anywhere except where we have to go work, school daycare....we were poor last year but now it is getting ridiculous. :mad:

    I agree with all. This is insane. There is no reason gas should have gone up anywhere near the way it did. I remember they tried to say that it was because the military would need it. Last I checked those double deuces they use would run on mud if it had a spot of gas in it. We should all send a message to the higher ups (lower brains) and get rid of the 90 year olds and oil tycoons in washington. If they want a stimulus plan stop selling our oil oversees and keep it here. Start those wells back up and for gods sake build a couple new refineries. It isn't hard. Would create a lil work too. But look soon for a strike in the truckers. When all them pull over and nothing is movin this country is screwed. Maybe that will send a message.

    Yes we do its pathetic. And we help them out to much. I am sorry but if all these other countries want to complain so much stop sending them our money and our help. Let them deal with it on their own. My other gripe is all the give your money here commercials you see on tv. Again, sorry but if you notice it is celeb's doin those commercials. Last time I checked they made the millions not me. If it only costs 20 a month don't ya think they could feed a small country a lot easier than I could. I actually have to drive myself to work don't have a driver. US got everything way backwards anymore

    Minimum wage is $7.50 in New Mexico.....I don't know how people are gonna make it or how the HELL they're making it now! Half your pay is going into the tank....and most people I know have to drive all the way across town and back! This has gotten FRIGGIN' ridiculous.....and news says "THEY" aren't done yet?

    And to boot the cost of food?!:grumble:

    Vacation this year anyone? Yeah, frickin' RIGHT!:sad: Sorry mom and dad, it's too expensive to come see you this year!:mad: Yes, the kids are getting bigger....and we miss you....:cry:

    Believe it or not, we pay nothing compared to how gas is taxes in Europe. Back in the 80's we paid 3$ per liter I think it was.

    Anyone notice how the middle class is dwindling away - and politicians don't seem to give a damn???

    I'm Canadian, but we're in the same boat as you guys with inflation.:drinker:

    And why exactly are they spewing BS about there not being any real inflation??? Who do they think they're kidding??? Prices for everything is skyrocketing and they deny it's occurrence. :explode:

    The ever widening gap between the haves and the have nots... it's quite simply terrifying.

    well we are up to 1.93 litter not sure what it is for you guys per gallon but lets say thats pretty high for here. at the mo we are heading into a recession they say food is rediculas i cant buy cheese at all even butter to do baking is out of the question and we decided to save for a trip to see mom in austrailia and are at the point of mo return as tickets have been bought and paid for so cant get out of it now.

    we need to find a cheap alterntitive to petrol and stick it to the mongrels in their huge mansions and fine living
