    Default Gas prices...wtf

    $3.89 in cities. $3.69 in Fargo. What a joke, where are the protests ??

    Plenty of supply, there's 50-100 gas trucks in west Fargo distribution center at every moment. Those OPEC guys needs to be.confronted...when will this end??

    Responding to the bolded portion (sans the misplaced (??) period) the problem does not lie with "OPEC guys", it lies with uncontrolled, leveraged positions by speculators. So, I guess the "Opec guys" are on Wall Street.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    Yeah this summer is going to suck! But I just did get a car that gets 29mpgs. But the thing that sucks is that I see no reason for the higher prices. The world was using the same amount of oil as it was 3months ago.

    You should see gas prices in Toronto. There's a pair of wire cutters next to each cashier's counter at gas stations so you can have the option of cutting off your left or right nut in order to pay at the pump. 1.35 per liter (That's 5+ US bucks per gallon)

    Thank God I don't have my car with me here, but I'm mad knowing that I may have to have a car in this place eventually anyway. Public transportation is as much of a robbery in this city as gas prices are.

    It's almost twice that in Europe, where they're at least attempting to price in the negative externalities of fossil fuels.

    I'm just glad winter is over so my MPG is back over 40.

    Yeah, I drive a Prius. Wanna fight about it? I know Tatanka's got my back.
