faith Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 last time my mom called it was juggling between $1.34 and $1.45 a litre in Montreal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmonaut Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 i think it's about $4 in DC now. i fill up the tank in my car about once every six weeks. we're lucky to have a compact city with bike lanes and a great subway system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Americans don't realize we still have some of the cheapest gas in the world, as proven by our posters from England and New Zealand. Gas is almost always twice as expensive (at least) in European countries. So we're lucky in that respect, just unlucky that we depend on our cars too much to get around.

monk0nuggets Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 If there was reliable public transportation around here, I would use it. That's one thing that is bad about not living in a big city I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Americans don't realize we still have some of the cheapest gas in the world, as proven by our posters from England and New Zealand. Gas is almost always twice as expensive (at least) in European countries. So we're lucky in that respect, just unlucky that we depend on our cars too much to get around. A lot of European countries are more tight knit and have great public transportation. The U.S. is so spread out and many of our cities have awful public transportation. Gas is only going to go up and up and up. The price of a barrel is currently at an all time high, but it takes two weeks for that cost to effect our pumps. Not to mention, starting on June 1st we switch over to a cleaner and more expensive gas because of all the summer traveling. I hate this. I love to road trip in the summer, especially to Cleveland to hang out w/ Scott and P Fresh, but the way gas is the only way I'm headed out that way is if it's an awesome show (i.e. Andrew W.K. for free).

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Andrew, that sucks that you still live in Clarion. I mean, I totally knwo what you're going through< i lived in Edinboro and Slippery Rock for 7 years, but gas wasn't over $2.50 at that point... but still. Sorry to hear that man... And to whoeever said gas will start going down in January, thats false. If its going to go down it'll start going down mid September after laborday. Gas price ALWAYS goes up every year without fail late april into may and stays at the high price through the summer until after labor day, then it drops usually around 50 - 60 cents in the weeks after labor day.

kirbypuckett Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The cleaner gas runs from June 1st through late September, I think it says this on all the pumps. That's why it's more expensive. Gas will be $0.01/gallon come November because it's an election year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardrockzombies Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Just curious where are you commuting from? i live outside of parker. i see you're from kane? that's cool. i know a couple of people from that area. one of my friends at the college here used to book shows up that way before getting arrested for a shitload of charges. he used to get big d and all sorts of sweet shows up there. edit: just looked at your history. lol. we discussed this before i think. I just had to look up Parker. Hadn't heard of it. That did look to be a little bit of a drive. I assume your friend brought Big D to St. Marys like either last summer or two summers ago?

letskissthesky Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 gas is about 3.90 here, as far as i saw yesterday. but i drive for my job (for right now) so i have to fill up almost about twice a week. i spend about 80 bucks a week on gas.

cosmonaut Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 i think i would be so happy if i lived close enough to work where i could ride my bike or walk. that's one thing i considered in buying my house where i did. it's easy to live in dc and most of the dc area without a car. i fucking HATE traffic, so i wanted to avoid long drives like they were the plague.

devilstrombone Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Thankfully I live close enough to work that I can just walk and the bus system in Seattle isnt that bad so I have actually been okay without a car. I dont even know how much gas is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew13 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 they arrested him in one of my classes (data structures). 3 state cops came in dressed in janitors and jumped him while he was taking a test. he had 2 pistols on him at the time. it was fucked up to watch happen, especially while being expected to finish a test after that all happened.
