BigHorne1 Champion Author Missouri Posts:1,482 Points:293,850 Joined:Jul 2012	Message Posted: Apr 18, 2013 4:02:30 AM Ignore BigHorne1 Report Abuse This is true, gas prices at the pump are outrageous. The big oil and refinery companies are pulling out more of the ground through fracking and other sources, and we are still paying over two dollars a gallon. In the other countries these big companies have to give to a welfare fund and give the consumers extremely low prices, but here in the U.S., we are being taken advantage of. If there are any nay sayers about this, look at Argentina, where ther are alot of oil being pumped out and Brazil, you will see their rules for these big companies, not like the U.S. We deserve a break more than they do, and are having as much oil as any other country being pumped out of our country, but these big businesses are exporting it out, instead of keeping our prices lower.

It's not the gas price that's high, but our currency: it's WORTHLESS! They've swapped our real money with fake crap. Fix that Mr. Federal Reserve man!

I try not to take gas savings advise from someone who hasn't even posted 2 days worth of prices in over 5 months. Make sure the prices around you are updated here so your fellow Orange County members can find the lowest prices in your area. That's something that can benefit everyone. Suggesting that people "ride bikes, buses, or walk to work" when they live 20-30 miles away and live in areas with little or no mass transit can come off a bit arrogant. You've obviously never lived anywhere that wasn't urban. [Edited by: Michael29644 at 3/16/2013 9:36:24 PM EST]

Most of us could walk, ride our bikes or take the bus, even occasionally, but it would mean being "inconvenienced" in some way .... God forbid. Maybe if we'd been through a few wars and the Depression we wouldn't be such whiners and sissies.

What is this obsession with driving alone all the time - admittedly I do it, too?" Mikeyl - Can't bike to work, no room on bridge over river for a bike. No bus service where here or taxi's and a 20 mile walk each way every day would take for ever, even if the Platte River bridge had room to walk. Also not everyone can "car pool" if they don't have someone who lives close to them working at the same place with the same hours. Its not an "obsession" with driving alone, it is a necessity.

Also, this should be in the boycott/gasout forum. [Edited by: HeavyDuty_cache at 10/6/2012 12:54:58 AM EST]
