Now with the high gas prices here theres a social activist group that's been wandering the streets lately looking for suv's and giving out fake traffic tickets on their windshields that say something like "you are a socially irresponsible driver, killing the environment" etc etc..

If one of those fucking hippies ever layed a hand on my car i would break it off and throw it in my gas tank.

after paying 2.70 for gas, if somebody put that shit on my car, i'd dust it for prints, find their house and blow that shit up... because its the hippies that are destroying the environment... of course

Anyways you'll eventually exchange your SUVs for normal cars because of the increasing gas prices...

and as kippa (from Europe) once said :
[14:32] (kippa-): $50 filling an suv
[14:32] (kippa-): lol
[14:32] (kippa-): thats pretty fucking cheap tbh
[14:33] (Shn): might be a jew

The latest I've heard is that people are gas stealing both from stations and from other people's cars! I have locking gas caps on all my vehicles, but if any motherfucker tried to sippon gas out of my tank, I would know that my temporary insanity plea would hold up in court the day of my murder trial. . .

Friday July 29 - U.S. House passes Energy Bill that gives $14.5 billion in tax breaks to big oil companies, already immensely profitable1. The bill does nothing to lower the cost of gas, heating oil or electricity to consumers.

The Energy Bill also opens up exceptions in the Clean Water Act & Safe Water Drinking Act. Proposals to increase fuel efficiency were dropped.

1 July 28, 2005 - ExxonMobil reports record 2Q earnings of $7.84 billion
Apr 28, 2005 - ExxonMobil reports record 1Q earnings of $7.86 billion
Jan 31, 2005 - ExxonMobil reports record 4Q earnings of $8.42 billion...
...THE HIGHEST EARNINGS EVER FOR A U.S. CORPORATION.

And your crying about that?

Everyone in the UK finds fuel prices in the US (or for that matter anywhere else in the world) to be a damn site cheaper than here. If my calculations are correct, in the UK the average price for unleaded fuel is around $3.80 a gallon.

If you could fill a good sized SUV or other soccermom piece of crap vehicle for $50 in the UK and cry about it at the station you'd get your head kicked in.

Fuck sake, i have a 1.6 Renault. Costs me about $80 (£45) to fill that. And you can fill a fucking gigantic SUV for $50.

You sir, have no fucking right to cry about that. At all.

I also forgot to add that

a) In essence, the average cost of living in the UK is way more than that in the US. Taking in to account costs such as council tax, vat etc etc.

b) the cost of motoring in the UK is way more than that of the US. ie: sky high insurance, road tax etc etc.

So how the fuck these Yanks sit there and complain when it's also the US, India and China that are mainly responsible for this rise in fuel prices, i don't fucking know. Fucking disgusting.

Amen

Heres what I reckon i spend on cars in a year

£160 p/y car tax
£30 MOT
£3-400 repairs/services
£20 p/w petrol
£600 insurance

= £2750

= $4 953.025 US$

Just to drive the feccing thing.

I dont even drive that much considering i spend £230 a month on commuter rail ($5000 a year).

And lets not get into the cost of the actual car. A shitty ford focus costs $18 011.

...you forgot to mention the stealth taxes.

Posted by ZootedLooter on 08-20-2005 04:04 PM:

its all still bullshit....no matter what anyone thinks about us complaining yanks....and you can all suck my prick....it is our fault....when we had the gas crisis in the 70s companies started experimenting with a mixture of alcohal and gasoline...alcohal comes from wheat which we burn and pay farmers not to grow because of abundance of crop....lobbyists for the oil companies stopped production because of market collapses from the oil companies losing profits...if we perfected it sithin 10 years we would be relying on these mid east cocksuckers less and they wouldnt have the power or the funding for all the shit they are doing anymore.....

sorry guys but we did fuck up....but blame it on the rich not the little guys

personally i'd rather US oil companies own all the oil rather then middle eastern companies who would no doubt fuck us over (worse then it is).

I just paid $1.36(AUD) per litre!

I'll do the math for you...
1 Gallon = 3.7843 Litres
1 Gallon =$5.15c !!!!!

Does anyone payt any more than that?

If so, then I feel damn sorry for you!!!

we can all move to Iraq... it's 5 cents a gallon there...

or better yet the US can invade Venezuela, SA and overthrow their pseudo Communist party and start shipping the good stuff here...

there was a news report on tv regarding how Walmart faced profit loss because their consumers *coughtrailerhickscough* have to use more of their income with rising gas costs. They're also preparing to harden laws on gas & go-ers across the states. The gov don't want to help the economy but they'll be damned if someone refuses to line their pockets!
