  • Go around and hassle people while they're doing their job. Yeah, that's original.

  • Such a dick move...

  • These high gas prices are getting ridiculous! I've decided to drive my car only to travel from home to work (and vice versa, hehe). I walk to the supermarket which is only 3 blocks down from my house, I don't go out to restaurants anymore, I rent movies now, so no more going to the movies. That's it! The government is forcing us to do this, and therefore, flushing our economy down the toilet. Ridiculous!

  • @12101916 Perfect! Thats what you should have been doing in the first place anyway! What, did you use to cruise around town all weekend long just to kill time? Let me guess, you have one of those "show off" cars/trucks/suv's huh? I bet you cant wait till the gas price drops 60 cents and you will be able once again to squeeze "showing off your luxury car" in your budget. Get out of here, sucker...

  • @ispepteid1 Hey Asshole (yes, I typed "asshole" with capital "A"), what makes you assume that I own a "luxury car" and cruise around town? You don't even know me on a personal level so shut the fuck up.

  • lame as people

  • corny. If i was that dude who just put up those prices i would be pissed! take down the shit that the man just put up? let him do his job and leave him alone im sure he doesnt like you

  • It's NOT $4.63 it's $4.64!! Unless you plan on somehow getting back that 1/10 of a cent?! So again, $4.63 and 9/10 is $4.64!!

  • Hear Rabbi Sol Solomon's Rabbinical Reflection (3/12/11) on gas prices at his audio blog, ShalomDammit. c0m or by searching his name on youtube.

  • its fucking funny i always laugh when gas prices go up.... fucking lazy ass people walk, jog, ride your bike to your job, school, store ect. .... you guys make me laugh.. i would not recomend riding a bike in the city.. drivers are fucking crazy they do not give a shit about bike riders... especially females they are always worry about being to fat ..this is a perfect opportunnity to exercise....the only ones that should be using gas are truck drivers and air plains

  • @k39564 I agree most of the time people drive for B.S. like to go to the mall to waste money on more needless shit. Let's not forget that too many people are dying for oil just so you can drive nowhere fast. It’s a fucking shame.

  • @QuickdrawandKabong Hey thanks, finnaly some one that agrees with me. Many people people reply to me hateful comments.

  • 3.67 :/ good thing i got a 4 cylinder

  • @anth0nyt0ny 4 Cylinder is strong enough, beside with the I4 you have lost cost maintinance and low cost operation, the moron who choose a V6 engine on their car are not going to be happy unless there driving a brand new Honda Oddysee

  • That's why I love channel 5

  • Lol, what a cool local news station.

  • What an ass... That dude has to put the numbers back up again...

  • Gas here is 2.90 -.-

  • @pentium3000 prepare for $5. or maybe $200.Barrel.

  • @pentium3000 $3.25 here :/

  • Comment removed

  • @The7legacy - What, are you like 70 years old?

  • K so this video is back from 2008.... So what are the prices now? like 10,000 a gallon?

  • LMFAO The commentary on this is priceless for a newscast

  • gas in nj is 250 ;)

  • @admirilawesome1 sadly this is one of the only perks of living in jersey =( but good thing we finally have a governor who is trying to fix everything

  • @Nixxonn1 christies a terrible governor, we wouldve been better off with corzine

  • @admirilawesome1 remember the gas went $4.25 to $1.50 in just 4 months?

    That the greatest news ever :D

  • i know what gas station im goin now

  • Eric Spillman is a legend.

  • I always wondered how they changed those.

  • The gas stations have already bought the gas at one price they should sell it for the same all the way to the last drop. Then change it when they buy it at another price.

  • for this price they should have like red carpets in gas stations and ppl in tuxedos pumping the gas for u and getting u a free drink while u wait.

  • @Security98 and free sex

  • hah thats funny.

  • i feel bad for the guy, he was just finished posting up the new prices and then eric comes up and takes them down!!

    still one thing i hadent seen, hallarious!!!

  • Eric Spillman fucken rocks. KTLA channel 5 is down the street from me !!! I got the biggest crush on Cher calvin...but shes probably married..The KTLA morning show is the best ever...especially when they get wacky and start to dance..I mean all of them, thats when I knew this station rocked!!! Fox is out...yuuuuuck

  • wHAt the heck is wrong with that weakling Eric?

  • HAHAHAH! Nice man. Fighting for the rest of us!!! KTLA has my vote!

  • Lmao

  • Whata rude reporter. You Americans are such turds. Messing with this little guy only ding his job.

    The reporter should have had a headshot

  • it will be arrested, but at least it was fun lolol

  • Every clip of this loser on YouTube has him being some kind of a douche.

  • eric spillman will be arrested XD

  • lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooo

  • Haha, America voted for Bush because Al Gore was "boring" and then Bush fucked America up the ass with no lube, and we were SURPRISED by it!!! hahahaha...fucking idiots you get what you deserve when you vote republican.

  • Both choices were fucking retarded. Turd sandwich or Giant douche.

  • Well either way, America is the toilet that takes it all in.

  • Although it is true American pride tells me it isn't. If you get my drift.

  • yeah well if america is a toilet were a gold toilet. faggot.

  • well im republican because not everyone can be on welfare. Douche.

  • That's right, only republicans can be on welfare.

  • Ahhh....the Bush years.

  • $4.83/ gal  WOW!

  • you really think, it's expensive ?

  • Hopefully you are being sarcastic. If not let me explain with a truck example. I'm using trucks as an example because they tend to be hit the most be prices. Gas is $4.83/gallon. if you drive a truck with a 20-gallon tank (20x$4.83=$96) and you use it up in a week. Now, if you make $8/hr for 40/hr work week, that's $320(without taxes being taken out). You are paying roughly 1/3 of your weekly net income on gas. Now if you are in a lease and underwater on your loan, you are hurting.

  • lol. dont' QQ, it's way more expensive in europe and always has been, stop complaining when you're getting some of the cheapest gas in the world.

  • aahahhahaha

  • im lost, whats a kike?

  • That would be a term of religious discrimination used against Jews.  Similar to other slurs like Yid or Hebe, also with base in discrimination. The term Kike originates from the Yiddish word for circle. This is meant to be offensive because many early Jewish immigrants to the America's were illiterate and couldn't write their own name, so they simply made a circle when signing documents.

  • u got alot 2 learn

  • racist word for jew :P

  • Comment removed

  • SHE A DOG

  • nigger

  • LOL i'm not a nigger, i'm a kike dumbass.

  • kike

  • haha

  • rofl XD

  • damn that woamn is fine as hell

    wifey ryt der baby

    DAMN

  • They probably bought the guy lunch so they could make this video with his price numbers

  • what........ a........ retard.....

  • o im sure it works you dumb fuck

  • SHE FINE AS HECK ,SEXY WOMEN

  • Kiss My Gass?

    wow.

  • *sigh*

  • Dont blame the government for high gass prices blame counties that have way too many damn ppl in it, like China and India and all those selfish people who dont pull out, they are screwing themselfs over

  • No wonder the world hates your country!

  • ask us if we care

  • Do you care?

  • what a retard you are.

    blame capitalism, pure and simple.

    if it wasnt for capitalism and the big oil corporations we would have a functional renewable fuel infrastructure, for hydrogen for example.

  • yay now 99% of the world (the motherfuckers =D) can realize they bitched over nothing! lol but what else can you expect from *monkeys*.

  • lol this was in cali? in new york i dont think it went much over 4 dollars

  • so it's europe's if fault gas prices are so high in europe since you just admitted 90% of the gas price is taxes. those high taxes likely pay for your social welfare programs: education, healthcare, etc. so stop bitching

  • wtf are you talking about? when did i say anything about europe lol? also in america we dont have free health care, as a matter of fact we have to pay for alot more things then you most country's in europe.

  • I am going to explain this to my boss he is alwas griping about the price of gas.

  • Eric Spillman will be arrested shortly...\

    Well at least it was fun... what the?

    They dont care about him being arrested but cares that it was at least funny.. They need to get their priorities straight,

  • $8.79 Sundsvall, Sweden, Europe

  • you don't even need to own a car in europe so it doesn't matter for europeans that much.

  • Hahaha ^^

    My hero.

  • A good thing that this madness is over. It's nice to have gas prices back at normal.

    I bet that a bunch of ecologists are pretty pissed off now. xD

  • they won't stay down for much longer.....our Democratic Congress will raise the prices back up once this stimulus BS goes through! now with a dem. pres. we will be screwed even more!

  • Congress decides the taxes on gas. The price of crude oil, which is independent of the Congress is still low. So if price goes up, it wouldn't be as much as last summer.

  • FAILURE

  • Crazy Eric.

  • LOL

  • 2:04 chick is pretty hot.

  • Are these gallon prices people are quoting? I've just worked out that in the summer Brits were paying $6.59/US gallon of unleaded. Right now it's $4.82.

  • 1.69 Central Pennsylvania

  • 1 dollars and 51 cents in Washington state

  • 1.23 wyoming

  • 199, long island .ny

  • Lmao dhat dudes G

  • Uhhhh... If I was the employee I woulda kicked his ass for making me work double! haha

  • When I used to work at a gas station, I would call in saying one of my competitors was lower than me. They gave me authorization to match that lower price but the comp really wasn't below us. Within 10-15 mins they would match us at the lower price. I would do this atleast once everytime I worked to try to make the price go down faster and no one was the wiser.

  • 0.79$ in Canada, Québec =D

  • gallons or liter??...here in spain we got 0.83€ which is $1.20 for a liter $4.54 a gallon... and i drive an imported American car!! hehe 4 months ago it was 1.34€ the liter.. do the maths!! hope it keeps on going down

  • My bad, meant litre not gallon...

    It's 0,78/liter now in Québec, dunno why someone did a minus on my comment :/

  • Ohhh.. your poor things. The americans always complains...here in Sweden we Pay around $9 !!!

  • u guys dont drive as nearly as much as the average american though. USA! USA! USA! lol

  • Jus because our economy is in the shitter doesnt make us stupid, its not the average americans fault, its those corrupt wall street bankers that made poor decisions and ruined our economy, and SWEDEN is about 1 and a half times the size of the STATE OF CALIFORNIA, theres no way they drive more than an average american.

  • So what? so just because our country is smaller we drive less? I got 62 miles to work every day. Thats 124 miles a day only to work. And with our gasprices it's around $30 every day just to get to work.... And 90%of that is taxes...

  • you may think us Americans are stupid but yr lil shit country us Americans we can stomp a mud hole in ya and walk you dry so before you start talking shit about my country remember it wouldn't take much to kick your fuckin ass GOD BLESS THE U.S.

  • It's people like you that give us Americans a bad name. And make me ashamed of how we treat and view others.

  • ya real intelligence shining threw, and dont worry we know theres a few good americans ;)

  • Haha. Thanks.

  • LOL

    Cannabliss... Brilliant :P

    sorry for the random comment I just think that's an awesome name. haha

  • its all good my friend random anytime,....i put thereal in front of it cuz i noticed a few imposters hahahaha peace

  • We complain and we get lower gas prices. You say nothing and you pay nine bucks a gallon. And you call us stupid.

  • @YouCanCallMeAl its not that they dont complain, they have vehicles that run 28 miles to the litre, thats around 70 miles a gallon, they dont want europe to have the same prices as here or else they wont get the money they want, so it has nothing to do with complaining, america is still running suv's that get 15 mpg so ye they somtimes lower the prices.

  • @YouCanCallMeAl the usa and europe pay pretty much the same amount for gasoline. The huge difference is that gasoline in europe is taxed to death to pay for their many social programs......like the biggy "National Health Care".....free health care for all from birth to death. Yeah, we pay half the price for a gallon of gas but we pay "thousands" a year for health insurance. If you can't get on a group plan it will cost you about $5000 to $9000 a year for health insurance

  • $1.46 in Boise, Idaho

  • $1.54 Houston, Texas

  • same here in lincoln, missouri

  • 1:84 york PA

  • $1.99 today (11/22/08) in Deerfield, IL...a suburb of Chicago.

  • Hm... I've got around $1.95 - SLC, UT. The low gas prices are due to worldwide economic slow down as people cut back on spending and driving... etc, that has had a profound effect right now.

  • here in michigan you can get gas for $1.68with a car wash......someplaces same price just for cash....

  • that would be such a fun thing to do

    love how the gas station dude doesn't even take the stick back

  • The lady reporter is cute

  • Fuck her then

  • That's hilarious.

  • This is to all the punk young people who are complaining about gas prices. If you don't speed, don't rev your car, and drive like a normal person, you will SAVE MONEY ON GAS!

  • i have a real good way to save gas - move to texas - look at gas buddy and see why

  • $1.99 Today in East Texas!!! YAY!!! :)

  • $1.69 = brownsville texas

  • *Candice gulps* I'm jealous!! LOL

  • me too

  • I hope we don't see those prices again after OPEC chokes off supply in December. I learned how to save 20% at any gas station... visit my profile to see how I did it.

  • It's nice to see news anchors having a good time!! Rarely ever see this anymore!!

    Hollywood CA, or Hollywood, FL?

  • i hear ya

  • this guy is so annoying...

  • Lol.

  • This is News & Politics? Might as well adopt the "fair and balanced" slogan.

  • I love the KTLA Morning Show!

  • I'm surprised at how well these news anchors handled improvising during an unscripted event! Usually if it's not on the teleprompter, they stare like a deer caught in the headlights.

  • hahahaha 46 cents a gallon

  • Haha. I agree. That dude got guts changing that sign. Haha.

  • Peddle power is the way to go. Al Gore travels everywhere by cyclo-jet. That's why he's so fit and.....er.......slim.

  • They shouldn't put Eric in jail they should actualy fix the gas prices.

  • 9/11/08 the gas prices here in jefferson city tennessee the gas prices were 3.59. The next day it jumped to 4.71! for unleaded....is that bull shit?

  • i keep hearing that gas in the rest of the country has gone up 15 to 20 cents a gallon in a week. however in my town of fontana gas actually has gone down about 8-10 cents a gallon in the past 7 days to about $3.59/gallon. as far as i know, the hurricane effects havent reached California......at least not yet

  • Gas in Houston is around $3.37 was $3.27 last week. Any europeans here making fun of us get lost cuz we own big engines unlike yalls small ones

  • Please tell me that you're joking. PLEASE! At first I thought it was obvious, but then I got unsure.

  • taken the exchange rate for the Euro into consideration , 8.50$ for a Gal of regular are to be paid here in Europe.... :-)

  • im in Oklahoma and Oklahoma has just about the lowest gas price in the U.S. the prices right now that im seeing is $3.22 per gallon alcohol free. but do to hurricane gustav the price went to $3.35 lol

  • You can't blame that poor gas station manager for that. It's not his fault, he is only trying to keep his gas station open and working so he can feed his family like everyone else.

  • america camt complain about petrol prices in the uk im paying $2.44 a liter at my petrol station

  • The rest of the world pays it by the liter instead of the gallon, and 1 gallon equals 3.78 liters.

  • Which means that if America had the swedish prices a gallon would be about seven dollars.

  • LOL SUCKS FOR YALL!

  • oops) sucks for yall, my family invested in the gas company stock when it was low.

  • the us needs to invest in public transportation. as far as mass transit goes, the best thing CA has serves only a small section of the bay area. it is ridiculous. we invest millions in widening highways when we should've been building rail systems and investing in more long term solutions.

  • you are all stupid!fuck you and your gasoline love affair...ride a bike,walk ya bunch of pussies!

  • Move to Houston.... you CANT!

  • I agree, we could ride bikes. But they are not as fast as cars and you would have to wake up even earlier then what you usually do just to get to work on time. and if you live far away it can get really tiring after a while of having to do this every morning. And some people have klids they have to take to and from school and it would be a mess for them to keep their kids on there bikes and heading to school. Also a lot of areas are not easy to get to by bike.

  • I walked home from school this passed year and there has been no side walks or anything but a tiny peice of the side of the road to walk on, because there is a bunch of low tree branches that cover most the grass area beside the road. I had big 18 wheelers speedy right passed me. They had barely started putting a sidewalk on each sided just before school ended. This school has been around a long time too. So try getting to and from places like this on a bike.

  • Actually biking / walking to places would make you LESS tired, as your overall health would improve. And yes, it would be hard with shitty streets like that, that's why you should start now so it changes eventually. What are the numbers anyway? 40% of all trips with a car is less than 2 kilometers long? I think it's something like that.

  • If I or someone else started biking or walking not a lot of others would do the same, so I doubt the city would want to make it more bike friendly for just a few people. Also, when I would walk home, once I got home I was exhausted for the first like 4 or 5 weeks doing it and I just ended up sleeping doing the time I would have been at school if I didn't get off-periods. But I did eventually get use to it.

  • Also 2 kilometers is like less them 2 miles right? My sister, her husband, and my father all have to drive probably 10+ miles M-F to get to work. And my mom lives right next to my fathers work and we tend to go there almost every weekend. I don't think the stuff you got is for were I live, because a lot of people tend to live further away then what my father is from their work.

  • "Eric Spillman Will be arrested for that, but we will bail you out."

    Priceless

  • People in saudi arabia have to pay $00.28 cents a gallon!!! LUCKY!!

  • OMG you americans think this is expensive in germany we are paying over $8 a gallon and more than half of the cars here are diesel which is a $1 more so stop complaining and be thankful you all have cheap gas

  • the economy is different...

  • Well you are lying because it is £1.14p/$2.10 a litre,i just filled up!
