It takes me a half hour to get to work every day. Longer if traffic is bad (and it usually is).
So gas prices are still a big deal to me.

you'd think by college, you people would know what happens when you ass u me

however, you do realize that's a strawman argument anyway, right? the thread is about oil. Do you expect me to bitch about every cartel in the world in an oil thread? makes more sense to bitch about the oil cartels, does it not?

By the way, whoever keeps telling us we're lucky we're not in Europe, please STFU.

They dont pay higher per barrel, the remainder of their price difference is all TAXES. That whole everything is taxed up the ass over there, but then again you have things like natioinal health care etc?

Entirely different system. Btw, if we had public transit like most of europe or cities designed that way, i could see not bitching. but no, our public transit SUCKS and our cities are built for cars. Europe's are NOT.
