Destino Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 The look of horror on the face of SUV driver's at the pump is priceless. Those dumbass trucks are a massive waste of money, especially the daily driven ones I see in traffic every morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdowwe Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Just filled up with $3.90 supreme. 'bout $65. Just the beginning. Awful. In related news, oil companies report record profits. Again. I saw something interesting today...showing how the profit % of Shell was like 7% based on their revenue. That means if they made like $100, only $7 of it was profit. Such a tiny amount compared to some IT and Pharma. companies. People just see that instead of $100, its in the billions. But it is funny seeing how this thread started in 2005, and we were hurting at $2.41, now we'd die to have it below $3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the burgundy and gold Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 i'm not looking forward to filling up in a week or two. Gas is getting really out of control. My question is when will it stop?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 guys think yourselves lucky, petrol is over 5 pounds a gallon over here which is over 10 bucks:( My older sister lives in England with her husband and when I visited her this summer, I nearly **** myself when I saw the fuel prices. You guys have it rough, and we might well be up there with you in a few years. And to think I drive a Ford Escape. I'm just glad I don't have a bigger SUV than that .. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 i'm not looking forward to filling up in a week or two. Gas is getting really out of control. My question is when will it stop?? It won't stop, they know they have us by the balls. I like when threads are revisited from time to time, and man, this one really hits home. 2.41 a gallon would be a God send. Even the cost of riding the bike almost every day is getting out of hand. I paying 3.99 on average for high test, and I'd get myself a little scooter to commute on, but I flert with death enough, and I'm just too cool to be caught on one :doh: You know what they say about scooters and fat chicks. There fun to ride till your friends see you on one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If gas prices continue to get out of control I just might revisit getting one and be darned with my pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Over $50 for me yesterday. First time in my life one of my vehicle went over $50. And as far as the oil companies go, if they are only making $7 out of $100, then why don't they report their TRUE profits. If they made 9 billion for the quarter, they should only report $7 out of every $100 as their actual profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as far as the oil companies go, if they are only making $7 out of $100, then why don't they report their TRUE profits. If they made 9 billion for the quarter, they should only report $7 out of every $100 as their actual profits. $10 billion is the 7%. Exxon's revenue was over $100 billion: Exxon posted first-quarter net income of $10.89 billion, or $2.03 a share. That's up 17% from the $9.28 billion, or $1.62 a share it earned a year earlier, but it missed the earnings per share consensus forecast of $2.14 from analysts surveyed by earnings tracker First Call.Revenue hit $116.85 billion, up 34% from a year earlier when sales hit $87.2 billion. The revenue was short of forecasts of $124.4 billion. http://money.cnn.com/2008/05/01/news/companies/exxon_earnings/?postversion=2008050109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya think? I can't wait to read the various analyses in the upcoming months. "The 2007-2008 oil spike was a classic example of collusion and market manipulation made possible by overconcentration of suppliers in a vertically integrated market..." - Some Nobel Economist "The 2007-2008 oil spike was just natural market forces, out of the control of anyone..." - Some shameless hack analyst financed by the oil companies "The 2007-2008 oil spike was caused by libruls taxing us to death and envirowackos who fight domestic offshore drilling" - Navy Dave.
