$4 per gallon gas today... where does it end???

[USS Redskins]

I just paid $80 to fill up my car here in Cincinnati... man, this is killing me.

Just a few weeks ago we were paying around $55 to fill it up... no more eating out on the weekends.

Where does this end?

This could easily kill any recovery that may be happening.

[Madison Redskin]

It ends with us finding an alternative fuel source. The price is only going to go up over the long haul.

Or....I suppose it could end this way.

$4/ gallon of gas

Oil companies making record profits

What is in between those 2 facts that will make one believe we are NOT getting hosed here?

[@DCGoldPants]

#1 Companies need to step up the telecommuting policies

#2. Oil companies take advantage of anything to raise prices, but really hate bringing it down.

Maybe its time to release some of the reserves for the summer.

Yes sir. It's from the scene where Jason lays seige to the "oil refinery/base."

[Titaw]

It won't stop. Dubai needs to build a new island.

[greenspandan]

the joke is there isn't even any shortage of oil. these price increases are the result of speculators driving up the price (again).

the solution has been right in front of our face for decades. get serious about transitioning off oil dependency. but we have, to our own peril, dragged our feet and stuck with the status quo simply because it was more profitable in the short term.

As Obama says, get a vehicle with higher mileage.

I plan on doing that soon.

You develop your own resources. Short term you are still going be using oil but long term you develop alternative energy. If the FAILED PRESIDENT George W Bush would've after 9/11 proposed a solution to make us 100% energy independent by 2010; where would be now?

Al Gore would've set us on the path towards that, even if I wouldn't agree with all his solution; he would've had this nation on that path.

Where does it end? $10/gallon or higher.

[Tweedr01]

man it has been a minute since i have seen this movie, there's nothing else really like it....maybe mel is crazier than charlie?

[88Comrade2000]

This country needs a leader on this and so many issues. Obama isn't one, Bush wasn't one and I don't see one on the horizon. We are ****ed for the forseeable future.

this al gore?

or this one?

what about this one?

Please stop whining, it's been 3 years since bush has even been in office, and what you are complaining about is 10 years old, please move forward.

[twa]

Quit your whining....ya got what ya wanted

This will help the environment and the obesity problem ,bring on $5g Obama called for.

[Titaw]

Great job, three years after he's out of office and it President Bush's fault. Why don't we go ahead and continue to blame Mark Brunell for the Redskins shortcomings while you're at it. What exactly has Obama done since he has been in office to make us more energy independent?

Al Gore MAY have had us on the right track as far as energy is concerned (I highly doubt it), but he would have done nothing when we were attacked on 9/11, just like his buddy Clinton in 96.

Actually, you're 100% right. You know what is going to compel the government and the private sector to find a long-term solution to rising oil prices? $5-10 bucks a gallon.

[Tweedr01]

thank you! i usually try to stay pretty moderate, but to whine about something like that so far after the fact is just like blaming mark brunell for our 6-10 record this past year

i would prefer doing nothing to starting an irrelevant war in iraq and killing tens of thousands based on a lie.

[USS Redskins]

$5 and $10 per gallon gas will cripple our economy and send up right back to the brink of depression again.

Obama doesnt really seem to care either, which is very disturbing.

When it was $4.25 a few years ago all my dem friends said Bush wouldnt do a thing about it b/c he was in bed with the oil companies.

Who is in bed with them now?

[Teller]

This is what happens when you have oil men in the White Hou....errrr......

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

The equivalent in the UK is around 9 bucks 82 per gallon. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2011/mar/09/petrol-prices-record-breaking-6-per-gallon Article from a month back. It's dropped a little, but not much from then.).

And you guys think you have it bad.

Hail.

Better hope it is a better one than corn ethanol

Anyone that did not see this coming was blind.

yeah but the difference between here and the uk is that the public transportation up there is more available than here. you literally need a car to get around in this area.

That is a joke right? And you don't actually think that would've been plausible?

No question, but it's all relative. It's gotten WAY out of hand both sides of the pond. I still don't get why there's a need to import when there's such natural resources within the US.

Hail.
