Up Your Gas!

**Sera** · 2012-03-23 13:18

when i got my license in Richmond VA it was 99 cents a gallon.

**Dimmauk** · 2012-03-23 13:23

Careful guys and girls, yall are dating yourselves with those ancient gas prices. I remember $.89/gallon at diamond shamrock.

**shaggnix** · 2012-03-23 13:31

i remember 89 cents late-clinton era. gas prices more than tripled in 10 years.....

How do yall feel about fraking? Since they started doing it south of where I live, they have had a couple earthquakes.

Fraking is fucking retarded. Hope you enjoy those earthquakes because they'll only get worse as the shale gets replaced with flowing slurry.

I paid $3.83 at I-20 in Texas. Prices range so much down here. Jumps $.20 from town to town sometimes.

Don't forget the chemicals they're injecting into the ground.

"What chemicals?" you might ask.

So would a lot of other people, because its largely unregulated and they have no legal obligation to tell anyone.

I know it's just more "Well, it could be worse..." but, seriously, gas prices here are nothing compared to non middle east regions.

I love my 42+ MPG. I still fill up once a week with all the driving I do, but if I ever lived within 5 mins of my job, I'd probably fill once a month.

Paid $4.09 in Bellevue, WA on Wednesday. When I got my license, it was $0.99. Crazy how it was $12 to fill up and now it's $50. Luckily, I only drive a mile to work and back, so I fill up like once every 2 weeks.

Since we are talking about nostalgic times with low gas prices, I got my license in the spring of 2000 and remember paying $.97/gallon in Salem OR. That price was stable all the way through the summer. So in 12 years gas prices have gone up more than 400%. How the fuck could that ever be "working as intended"? Is the old SE FFXI dev team running the oil industry now?

This was in the Youtube thread but reposting it here sense it's relevant. At about 5:00 is the really important part.

I hear gas is super cheap in those oil countries. I wish I was filling up in a warzone.

**Headspace** · 2012-03-23 15:12

Jumped from 3.75 to 3.98 since last time I filled up.

Awesome.

Don't fucking care who's fault it is. Fix it.

**JigglyJam** · 2012-03-23 15:37

I remember the gas was about 3.58 two weeks ago when I last filled up. It was about 3.85 a couple days ago.

**Dimmauk** · 2012-03-23 15:48

I packed my patchuli, rock crystal deodorant, and a couple hoodies. I'm ready to protest for a month!

**AidenCarby** · 2012-03-23 16:01

I think you mean OPEC runs the president, not the other way around.

**AidenCarby** · 2012-03-23 16:13

I'd vote for you.

**Selamis** · 2012-03-23 16:16

I do envy you guys with your gas that is under $4. Out here in the suburbs of Chicago depending what county you live in, it ranges from $4.39-4.55. Inside the city limits of Chicago is upwards of $4.70 so yea...

Shit still sucks major dick and needs to be fixed asap.

**Ragnus** · 2012-03-23 16:50

Chicago is always going to have some of the, if not the highest, gas prices in the country by design since you guys have a city or state tax on gas on top of other taxes and fees that determine price.

**Correction** · 2012-03-23 16:51

At least it's still cheaper than a college education in Canada.
