Gas Prices R Skyrocketing Under Obama: Oil futures is just that, futures market. Price-per-barrel spikes oil this week have not affected domestic market yet. Iin face former Shell Oil Pres John Hofmeister predicted in Dec 2010, America would face $5/gal gas by 2012, a full month before the revolution in Egypt began. At the end of Bush’s two terms in office, prices were 9% lower than when he took office. The day before Obama was inaugurated average price of a gal was $1.83.

You people cry about what it cost to drive your cars, wait till this winter when you pay to Heat your houses you can't afford. Quit cryin go Hug a tree!
America consumes 21million barrels of crude per day. That's over 3 times the amount of the next largest consumer which is China. If any country should have high prices it's America because they haven't yet learned that oil is a natural resource and needs to be used with respect. I'm not anti American but I've visited the states and seen the size of the cars the people drive there. It's quite obvious that something needs to change.
Y wish we had this prices in Europe, the gasoline still very cheap in the US, in european terms you pay 0'65$/L, the price of the gasoline in Spain 6 years ago, now I pay 1'39€/L, it's like 8$ the gallon.
this is pretty rediculous that some genius hasnt came out with a reliable alternative, but actually then again they prolly have but arent allowed to release it.
and for all these people sayin they got it worse, shut up!
this should be about the fact that prices are simply Tooo Fricken High Everywhere!!! not about who has it worse
Control the oil, money and food = control the world and it's population. The ruling elite have all the money they will ever need. Artificial scarcity of oil and food is a board and chess game in their strategy to destroy the middle class.
you are absolutely correct...the long and short of it is that they will steal every nickel they can until Bush is finally replaced. If they think McCain has a snowball's chance they will lower the prices right before the election. If they give up on McCain, they will just fuck us straight through to inauguration day.
I wouldn't count on Bush and Co. stepping down for the next election. Let's just say that the next few months are going to be interesting. I will not be looking in caves or pointing the finger at Iran if something really bad happens.
its around 8$ here and not so many people are complaining.. o) and streets are still clogged by cars.
you are still lucky there. you have very low taxes. so be happy and enjoy your driving;) here, we will never see again such a low prices like you have in the US

hey quarky... it's jumped up a bit since I was there but then Eroupe was paying 5.00 while the U.S. was still at 1.50 so the climb isn't as bad... But still!
Oil prices will keep rising in the future. If the end user cannot afford to fill up and alternative fuels will become reasonable both in cost and ease of use. Growth in oil production has seized and ever growing need for oil rises, there is no way that oil price can settle for long. Our dependancy on oil doesn´t limit to just gasoline, it is also the base for diesel, jet fuel, heavy diesel for ships and trains, different plastics and synthetic materials are to some extent made from oil.
People will get mad at oil companies for raising prices, but if I was selling a product and people kept buying it like crazy, I would probably keep raising the price. Which brings to mind the question, why aren't Ipods $500 instead of $150, and a pound of Bananas should be $1.99 not $.79 because everyone buys these things. I don't see anything wrong about a supply/demand relationship with gasoline. I just use less of it now. If I go somewhere I take a train, or walk, or go with friends.
Count yourself lucky. In the UK the average price of fuel is now OVER £5 ($10) a gallon. I filled my tank up on Thursday and paid £50 ($100) for the pleasure.
People spend $5 on Starbucks or $4 on a gallon of milk, but when it comes to gas they bitch. WTF? They could live without the 3 or 4 Starbucks a week and not drink milk and get 5 more gallons of gas. It's all people's priorities that are messed up.
or how about just living without gas and walk your fat asses around? I mean you were born with two legs, and they were not labeled Gas pedal and Brake pedal. Oh yeah and obesity is a disease. Not just a byproduct of laziness and lack of self-control. Walk you lazy fat americans, WALK! oh yeah, just to mention. I am an american that used to 360 pounds, then guess what, I lost 110 pounds just from walking to work. and saved money! ignorant lazy americans.
Yeah, you're right most people will make excuse after excuse as to why they can't walk places, but you really don't need gas to survive. You can always get a different job so you wont have to drive as far, and you can carpool or use mass transit. Either way, gasoline is NOT a necessity, so people should stop acting like it is.
Your screwed. Welcome to the conversation. What if you need to leave the city or town because of an emergency and you don't have the 7$ a gallon? we have been gaining one cent per day on prices, in one year that would make prices 7$ a gallon. Opec doesn't care about your family. Exxon Mobil Doesn't care if your grandma is sick. If you can't pay, then stay home today. Do something about it.
Everyone uses credit cards and thats what started the "Great Depression". STOP using credit people. Maybe the oil companies are pissed at people for using credit on their gas. The rich and middle class have credit to buy gas up to $20. STOP buying big hummers and tahoes and suburbans!
Everyone talks about what we need to stop doing, instead saying what we need to start doing. Start walking to the store, start riding a bike to work, instead of driving the whole family to the movie theater, walk them to the park. get out get active and save our species from a fat, ignorant future. People say "obesity is a disease!" No you are fat and lazy. I weighed 360 pounds, i stopped drinking soda, stopped eating taco bell and started walking. What do you know? I two years, 235 ounds. wow
Stop being reliant on an outdated system of control. how bout that. Who gives a damn how much gas costs? Walking is free, get a job near home, or shit how about this, Start your own business! Work for your self.
What's the fuzz about? Well, let me explain... the issue of rising fuel cost in the US has created a ripple effect on other industries that continues to compound the problem. With Americans spending more on gasoline, discretionary spending is reduced or lost. The US economy has been for the most part driven by middle class consumer spending, thereby creating a tailspin effect.
You guys on average drive smaller cars and have a different lifestyle than Americans. Americans enjoys fast cars and big SUVs. When people are only getting 10-20 MPG it does impact them. If more Americans get more practical and economical cars we would use less gas. My mom for example only travels 2miles to her job from home. She only uses $15 per week on gas. Most Americans commute long distances to work using more gas per week. They need to live closer to their jobs.
Your right. Some of the big vehicles include; new Tahoes, Hummers, Suburbans, Exbeditions, and many more. Rich and middle class people can afford gas up to $20.00 a gallon. (No lies)
to all who voted for Bush TWICE you can thank yourself for the rising gas prices...for real...we have spent 8 years trying to do something about OIL(IRAQ), and look what we have done, made the problem worse..you can thank yourselves
If Slick Willie Clinton would have okayed drilling in ANWR 10-years ago we would have been up and running by now and not have the dependency we have on foreign countries today and gas prices would no doubt be more reasonable. Clinton was too busy wining-and-dining Enron.
We should be drilling in ANWR to help lower the oil prices near term, and be seriously looking into alternative fuels in the future, but not Ethanol. Ethanol is not very efficient and it burns dirty. Farmers now have the government subsidized incentive to grow more corn at the expense of other crops and this is part of the reason that food prices are rising. Republicans and Democrats alike have been in bed with the Enron's of the world and have failed to address energy alternatives.
A lot of people would be EXTREMELY happy to pay 1 gallon 3.9$. Maybe you should start considering buying cars that can do better than 1 mile to the gallon!
inesis you argument about Switzerland okay, but Switzerland is ONLY 16000 sq miles large while the USA is over 3.8 MILLION sq miles large. I would be EXTREMELY happy to not have to drive 3000+ miles within my own country for business and/ or to visit my fellow American family members and friends.
You think people living in Switzerland never leave the country for business or to visit the family in Portugal or in South Italy? Europe has a similar size than the US. But I must admit that we have at least trains that connects almost every cities so that we are not SUV-dependants.
Im so glad gas is almost $4 a gal. For one a lot of these non-insurance having illegals are forced to not drive as much. Also hicks with big redneck trucks and most poor people eventually will be priced out of the driving market, driving will soon be a luxury for the rich and it feels good!
you mean the American dream where if an illegal Mexican runs into me he can sue me even though he has no valid drivers license or insurance? Or the American dream where if your vehicle is not bigger than a buldozer you get ran off the road?
the price of gas is only following the rest of the encomny as the things we buy get more expensive so does gas look what e85 is going to do to the price of gas
Let's all remember the Bush ties to big oil and the companies GWB ran into the ground before becoming president.He's an oil man from an oil family, and surprise gas tripled while he was president. These are the people who funded his campaigns so he's got to pay them back somehow.Let's just hold our breath and hope he doesn't touch anything be4 leaving the white house.From what I hear from Obama/Hillary it sounds like we'll have to wait for a president who's truly committed to alt energy
These poor contract truckers are getting killed by these prices of gas. To fill up their tank is approx over $1,000 along with the ridiculous tools in NYC specifically $8 to cross a bridge. Some trucking companies are trying to apparently get their clients to pay higher rates - but in some cases, there's no success. I think the Gas companies would take the hit and most likely would win a gas strike -unfortunately there's too much heavy dependence on transportation for people&they know this.
dont buy gas for a week if everyone does this it shock the gov into lowering prices, or fucking raise your prices for everything you do including work .. wait until truckers stop driving for 1.50 a mile and raise prices to 5$ a mile now you cant aford food :)
Is that 5 poundUK for gas. You pay by the gallon or liter??
The US and the UK better wake up charging these trumped up prices. I don't know where they think people are going to get the money to continue to pay for this shit (excuse, me) $8 toll to get into NYC and $3+ for gas as well. I'm lucky I walk to work. That's what more ppl need to do to flip off the assholes charging these outrageous prices.
It will end when everyone stops buying any Exxon/Mobil. They are the largest and worst offenders. Don't buy from them till they are forced to lower their prices and the rest will have to follow.
Ohhh god, you Americans need to suck it the fuck up! Gas here in Canada has been over a $1 a liter for a year and a half, that would be the equivilent of 4 dollars a gallon. The part that gets me is that is our fuckin oil in the first place. So when it comes to gas prices don't pity yourselves until you look at everyone else.
but what I really ment to say was the entire region of Europe would all be speaking German and nothing else if it wasnt for America. All other cultures would have been erased. The Nazi's would have taken over. All governments are somewhat corrupt. Its unfortunate that no president or leader ever can do all the good they say without strings being attached to it...its the failure of humanity as a whole. But Bush should be arrested in my opinion. He is the worst president in a LONG LONG time.
sorry we don't have any problem with German language or German. you have learned a lot from Germans.you don't know what you are talking about. hope you were better then Germans.We pay 8.8$ for gallon gasoline,but don't cry. use bicycle,buy micro car, walk. kill Iranian citizens and take their oil,it may help.
Have you ever been to a school? Do you know anything about math? I told you the example - go back to it and think about it.
Oh, and no one wants to come to Germany? Really? Do you know how many foreigners are immigrating into Germany on a daily basis since decades? I tell you what: You are obviously an american ignorant redneck who has no idea of politics and economy at all.
I'm a big fan of America, because I like the country - but YOU are really a shame for that country.
please. America has way more foreigners coming in everyday. Our entire country is made up of foreigners (which is a good thing). I shouldnt have made some of the comments I did though. For those, I apologize.
OK, accepted. Nevertheless - if the American people would use oil and energy in a more reasonable way (w/out wasting it so much), the problem wouldn't be as big as it is.
agreed. All of us however dont. I drive a toyota tacoma which gets very good gas per mile and is energy efficient. I also am a democrat who Didn't and wouldn't in their right mind vote or have anything to do with George Bush who is destroying everything he comes in contact with.
OK? This man literally went to the toilet on this country and treated it or any other nation with any respect whatsoever. Now in the end he's talking about giving a fckin tax break. Take those useless pennies and SHOVE IT UP UR ASS GEORGE BUSH! NEVER WANTED U, NEVER VOTED FOR YOUR ASS. I HOPE WE MAKE A NATIONAL HOLIDAY THE DAY HIS DUMB ASS LEAVE OFFICE.
look here..stop being arrogant about America...It's a kingdom/empire on the edge of collapsing. Pray for America..ask the world to forgive you for all the troubles America has caused. The world blames Americans not Gorge Bush.
I've been curious what can one buy for billion dollars or more, I mean what can a billionaire buy that a million can't, I mean really, not like I see any buying there own spaceship or there own islands with all the money they make, and even just say 1 billion would be enough to keep your family and there family's take care for 10+ generations, and from a death point of view not like you can take any of it with you when you die so does anyone else wonder about this?
btw I also believe the reason the market is so bad is because rich people like the gas companies are saving it all for there self, but you know if the end of the world ever comes there money be useless more a less then toilet paper, but that's just my opinion on the matter.
1. I am speaking German. Simply because I am German.
2. What has WW2 to do with gas prices and the fact that America is world's #1 waster of oil and energy?
3. You yourself are to blame for the high gas prices. You are wasting far too much and that's a main reason why oil is getting more and more scarce. Example: Your population is 3,5 times bigger than Germany's. But the US consumption of oil is 8 times bigger than Germany's. Any idea why...? Think about it.
stop being arrogant you fool...don't make America look bad...I love America..n' i hope the world will forgive me, make me feel proud to say "I'm American", when i take vacations to other countries
In Europe one gallon gasoline cost 8,8us-dollar. we use bicycles,bus, walking and very small cars. and we pay about 50% in tax. only American get free gasoline from Iraq.
Your prices are ridiculous low. Currently a gallon of regular gas is $8,47 in Germany. Same thing in Italy and England, Austria and France just somewhat lower. What are you complaining about? Why does every idiot in your country drive a 300hp car? Why all those SUV's, Pick-Ups and Minivans? You don't need that. Get affordable cars with a reasonable cas consumption. That's it.
well if chavez was not a moron and decided not to attack the rebels in columbia gas would fall back under 3 dollars but I guess he got tired of all the gorilla fighting affecting his country. Also once Iraq gets figured out and safe gas price will fall even lower. The only thing that concerns me is why Bush is in the oil business and being president too. To much involvement; does not add up right.

com on American. you pay nothing for gasoline. you pay only 3,1$ for one gallon. we in europe pay about 40$ for one gallon.you have to pay as much we pay for it. the world pay only 103dollar for 52gallon oil to producents of oil.
The world's demand is great and the world's supply is running out. Oboma and Hillary won't be able to do a thing about that. But what we should do ( and I wonder why we haven't yet)is bring back the 55mph law. That alone will save us millions of gallons. But then Bush and his oil buddies wouldn't be making the profits that they enjoy now. Yeah! Fuck Bush and his pals! From now on I'm not going to exceed 55mph on the highways! If you hate Bush. Don't drive past 55!

You can always get a different job so you wont have to drive as far, and you can carpool or use mass transit. Either way, gasoline is NOT a necessity, so people should stop acting like it is.

What if you have to leave the city/town?
faribaultcounty100 3 years ago
Your screwed. Welcome to the conversation. What if you need to leave the city or town because of an emergency and you don't have the 7$ a gallon? we have been gaining one cent per day on prices, in one year that would make prices 7$ a gallon. Opec doesn't care about your family. Exxon Mobil Doesn't care if your grandma is sick. If you can't pay, then stay home today. Do something about it.

Everyone uses credit cards and thats what started the "Great Depression". STOP using credit people. Maybe the oil companies are pissed at people for using credit on their gas. The rich and middle class have credit to buy gas up to $20. STOP buying big hummers and tahoes and suburbans!
faribaultcounty100 3 years ago
Everyone talks about what we need to stop doing, instead saying what we need to start doing. Start walking to the store, start riding a bike to work, instead of driving the whole family to the movie theater, walk them to the park. get out get active and save our species from a fat, ignorant future. People say "obesity is a disease!" No you are fat and lazy. I weighed 360 pounds, i stopped drinking soda, stopped eating taco bell and started walking. What do you know? I two years, 235 ounds. wow

You americans are just spoiled. Here in Sweden gas prices are about 7 dollars per gallon.
ourmoviesrule 3 years ago
What's the fuzz about? Well, let me explain... the issue of rising fuel cost in the US has created a ripple effect on other industries that continues to compound the problem. With Americans spending more on gasoline, discretionary spending is reduced or lost. The US economy has been for the most part driven by middle class consumer spending, thereby creating a tailspin effect.
Your approximation requires a bit more thought .
spartanchitown77 3 years ago
You guys on average drive smaller cars and have a different lifestyle than Americans. Americans enjoys fast cars and big SUVs. When people are only getting 10-20 MPG it does impact them. If more Americans get more practical and economical cars we would use less gas. My mom for example only travels 2miles to her job from home. She only uses $15 per week on gas. Most Americans commute long distances to work using more gas per week. They need to live closer to their jobs.
johnrolandyeiseriii 3 years ago
Your right. Some of the big vehicles include; new Tahoes, Hummers, Suburbans, Exbeditions, and many more. Rich and middle class people can afford gas up to $20.00 a gallon. (No lies)

If Slick Willie Clinton would have okayed drilling in ANWR 10-years ago we would have been up and running by now and not have the dependency we have on foreign countries today and gas prices would no doubt be more reasonable. Clinton was too busy wining-and-dining Enron.
defzepled 3 years ago
We should be drilling in ANWR to help lower the oil prices near term, and be seriously looking into alternative fuels in the future, but not Ethanol. Ethanol is not very efficient and it burns dirty. Farmers now have the government subsidized incentive to grow more corn at the expense of other crops and this is part of the reason that food prices are rising. Republicans and Democrats alike have been in bed with the Enron's of the world and have failed to address energy alternatives.

Let's all remember the Bush ties to big oil and the companies GWB ran into the ground before becoming president.He's an oil man from an oil family, and surprise gas tripled while he was president. These are the people who funded his campaigns so he's got to pay them back somehow.Let's just hold our breath and hope he doesn't touch anything be4 leaving the white house.From what I hear from Obama/Hillary it sounds like we'll have to wait for a president who's truly committed to alt energy

These poor contract truckers are getting killed by these prices of gas. To fill up their tank is approx over $1,000 along with the ridiculous tools in NYC specifically $8 to cross a bridge. Some trucking companies are trying to apparently get their clients to pay higher rates - but in some cases, there's no success. I think the Gas companies would take the hit and most likely would win a gas strike -unfortunately there's too much heavy dependence on transportation for people&they know this.

but what I really ment to say was the entire region of Europe would all be speaking German and nothing else if it wasnt for America. All other cultures would have been erased. The Nazi's would have taken over. All governments are somewhat corrupt. Its unfortunate that no president or leader ever can do all the good they say without strings being attached to it...its the failure of humanity as a whole. But Bush should be arrested in my opinion. He is the worst president in a LONG LONG time.

2. What has WW2 to do with gas prices and the fact that America is world's #1 waster of oil and energy?
3. You yourself are to blame for the high gas prices. You are wasting far too much and that's a main reason why oil is getting more and more scarce. Example: Your population is 3,5 times bigger than Germany's. But the US consumption of oil is 8 times bigger than Germany's. Any idea why...? Think about it.
