Holy Sh*t Unleaded Gasoline closed at $1.95 on the N.Y. Merc |

Edited on Thu Aug-11-05 01:47 PM by puerco-bellies
That price if it holds will tranlate to around an average Unleaded pump price of $2.89, in areas like N.Y. L.A. San Fran. $3.05+. Daaammmn. www.alaron.com

1. This is eating up my kids' wages |
|
Gas is around $2.49 a gallon in the DC area. One of my kids is commuting to summer classes at U. of Maryland and working part-time as a nanny. After paying for gas, she's got nothing left.
And the oil companies keep reporting record profits.
It's obscene.

DC has a very nice light rail and bus system. I would not own a car if I lived in and/or around the DC metro area.

But this is *EXACTLY* the arch-capitalist system that so many voted for; how can it be obscene? Everybody's just getting whatthey wanted!

3. Disposable income is now a thing of the past |

The only good thing about this is maybe, just maybe Joe Sixpack will start paying attention to what is happening to America.

We ordered a fill up of our heating oil tanks to be delivered today. Got it @ $2.15 a gallon. (In South Jersey) Office worker claimed it would be going to $2.25 ten minutes later when the boss walked in the door. Also said we were the 4th family to call already by 8:00 this morning.
We have a pssive solar home with a woostove, too. Only use the oil heat as a back up if there is a string of cloudy/snowy days. Still hurts.
There will be alot of cold Americans this Winter.

People will be in shock when they have to fill oil tank to heat the house... I can see lot of people will die from cold weather due to can't afford to buy oil.

13. Are we being Enronized? |
|
Yes, I know that the planet's supply is limited. I know that we need to conserve.
But this is happening so fast, it feels as if we're being Enronized...especially when oil companies are raking it in...
