Not until Barry is voted out of office.  According to his minions...I mean administration...10% unemployment is the "new normal" and he had said prior to his coronation...I mean election..."gas prices will necessarily skyrocket".  

The last time gas prices were this high, I don't believe my '69 Vette came out of the garage more than a half dozen times that summer.  

You would think as a nation we'd have smartened up by now...but the sheeple just keep drinking the Kool Aid.

Sorry...rant is over...for now.

[QUOTE=manchestershark]...  When is it going to end?  [/QUOTE]
 
The day after the masses retake control of the of the country.  The latest round of the budget mess is proof that those currently in control don't have a clue as to what they're doing.  Washington is broken and it just doesn't look like it is going to get fixed any time soon (IMHO).

I wonder ..... if we had a 1 world governement would gas really be cheaper? That will probally be on our LAME AZZ EXCUSE FOR A PRESIDENTS LIE LIST for his next term of promises..

Sorry for the rant but I have never been 1 to candy coat my opinion. No Yes Man here!

Terry, just figure the gas price as an expense for visiting family and having a good time!

How much is gas in Alaska currently?

It will go down when we start drilling our own oil and other natural sources.  Hell until gas goes above $5.00 none of the quote renewable sources of power will be attractively priced.  This is just a liberal plan to drive us to alternate energy.  DO not worry everything is under control the libs have a plan !!!!

I'm in Sweden this week for business.  Gas here is $8.78 a gallon (14.1 Swedish Kroner per liter).  Not happy with $4/gal at home, but yikes!  $9?  Ouch.
 
Our Swedish counterparts were in the US 2 weeks ago and when discussing taking a trip over the weekend they made the comment "gas here in the US is so cheap!"
 
Also found out that sales tax on a car here is 25%.  I don't think I'm moving here or importing a ZR1 any time soon

Well to fight the high gas prices I am switching to these two toys in the next few weeks. I have a feeling I won't be dragging my kids on an inner tube behind the boat as much this summer.

Fortunately the job I'm on now is only about 2-3 miles from the house. I make coffee now so I don't have to drive an extra 1 1/2 miles to get it.
Why are giving money to Brazil to drill in the Gulf and telling them we'll be their 1st customer? And we can't drill cause obama enjoys seeing us get get it up the back end by slimballs that hate us. I heard that Libya is looking for a new muslim leader. I think that we should give them ours.
That Honda bike is sweet. Has a nice vintage look to it.

Hey guys...I think everyone is being too hard on Barry.  He's working very hard for all of us.  In fact, our President is doing the work of two men...Abbott and Costello!

I want to know where all that Iraqi oil is?  Weren't we invading for the oil.....
Too much Kool Aid....   Barry just has to be replaced... by voting.

Tucson still has the lowest priced gas and you can drive your baby all year round.  Just have to keep the AC working which mine isn't right now...
