    It is all about inflation,prices are bound to go up no matter what though.To blame the president isn't actually right minded to be honest.I'm not taking anybodies side on politics nor do I like politics to begin with,but for real lay off the president because it doesn't really have anything to do with the president.They say he runs the country,but that isn't actually true.The president doesn't make all the decisions for America,and there is no possible way for him to do it anyways.If anyone should be blamed it should be the oil companies,as there is higher demand for it.I don't really think there are any shortages as this seems to be the case,it is all about money and greed no doubt.Why don't we have cars that run off of water instead of fuel,because the oil companies bought the permits to make water powered cars which could have solved the issues with oil.It is actually the oil companies fault as I mentioned,because if water powered cars where released there would be no need for fuel powered cars.

    alot of it is supply and demand. China is having a huge impact on gas prices. Alot of oil is going to China.

    Yeah,but the main issue is with the oil companies to be honest.

    HEY! you political arguing senior members, stop it! that right there is the main reason i stay the hell out of politics all together, and i have never voted or even registered to vote! Think about this, we live in a country cool enough to allow it's people to at least vote on who they want in office. So the majority of the people say they want this guy and he wins, well thats all cool but things are messed up in a few years and everyone is crying about "oh how the president did this, or did that". but hey, WE the people put him there!! and he came from our society as he grew up so WE the people essentially created and trained this man, whom we as a majority eventually elected president. So as far as i'm concerned people arguing over political views is retarded. There's no way in hell you're going to make all of the people happy all of the time.
    and i'm sure someone will mention this so i'll cover it now, before you call me a free liberal hippie or something like that i'll tell you why i dont vote and "do my part". i bust my ass every day at work and take care of my land and family. I do not break our laws (at least not the serious ones) and i generally get along fine with everyone so i blend right in well to this "we the people" thing. When the country is all screwed up, as it usually is, I feel a little better knowing i'm not one of the people that put the guy in charge in the first place.

    now ok dammit, back to fossil fuels!!

    Well, right now gas is about $2.00 (cheapest stuff) to $2.30 (Premium Chevron) from what I can tell around my area. I fill up my truck ('03 Tundra, 3 inch lift, 17 inch BFGoodrich All Terrian KO tires, K&N air intake) from empty for about $62 USD, that is with the Premium Chevron. I typically spent $30/month on gas right now. Hope things will stay that way (or prices go down!!). I will post my Tundra in my sig when I get the chance to upload his picture.

    Peace,

    Pop Smith

    EDIT: @ Squizzle, it depends Salt or Fresh water?

    Salt, about 40ish years (depends on milage)
    Fresh, about 40ish days :p

    I live in the panhandle (Santa Rosa)area of Florida and right now it is $2.13 for 87 octane, $2.23 for 89 octane, and $2.33 for the super. With this hurricane Dennis coming our way everyone here has gone insane rushing to get gas and then the pumps are running out of gas. We have to wait 2 to 3 days before we get more gas at the pump. This state is really starting to suck bad. About the Funk You Bush saying makes me die laughing. lmao about cars driving on water too. lmfaooooooo

    It wouldn't as water runs a cycle and keeps producing itself over and over again.It is called rain,water never actually dries up it is precepitation and goes into the atmosphere(sure it can dry up in some spots,but that doesn't mean it is gone).Once enough precepitation reaches the atmosphere it drops down to the earth.Not to mention,water is going to last longer than any source that we use for cars such as oil.Think about this alright,the world is 75 percent water and the rest is land.I don't think the world would dry up very fast like you think if we used water instead of oil.Another thing is the exhausts on cars,once oil is used up it pollutes the atmosphere as water on the other hand will rise to the atmosphere and produce itself again.It creates a cleaner environment for the atmosphere and it is also easier to get since the world is 75 percent water.How long do you think oil will last,it can't outlast water.
