Gas Prices Should Be Higher

1 US Gallon = 3.79 litres.
90 pence (£0.90) is about $1.80
So I am paying about 1.8*3.79 dollars per gallon
Thats about $6.82 per US gallon.

Sorry dude, I disagree. We need to use less oil, so oil products need to be more expensive. The only alternative is to make an alternative to gas which is cheaper, but until something like that is invented gas prices need to be high to keep demand down so we don't run out faster than we have to.
I remembered another point I didnt make in the video. I drive economically because prices are so high. If prices were lower I probably wouldn't do that, and if they were higher then I probably would do it more!

I disagree. It's not that the prices should be higher but that other energy sources should be developed .. especially wind and solar power.

The high prices don't hurt the rich consumers .. they hurt the poor. The idea shouldn't be to hurt .. rather .. change. I'd like to see demand decrease and prices come down.

I don't think that's realistic though. Where is the incentive to develop other sources while oil is so cheap? There is some incentive because there is some money to be made, but its not enough. Raise gas prices and the incentive to develop other sources will increase. How else could you increase that incentive?

i agree! Good points but you took about ten times too long to say them lol!!

[GasPennyPincher]

There's plenty of oil. I remember being told we'd run out in 20 years, 30 years ago. I just love people who think they know what's best for everyone else and try to impose it on them.

But dont fool yourself. Even if we all drove cars that powered themselves with an energy source than never required replenishing, we'd still be paying. The govt would enlist a mileage tax - more than what is needed to maintain roads of course - to further burden the people that pay them.

[AdamtheArchitect]

If gas prices suddenly rise, and then profits suddenly rise also, were obviously being ripped off. Commodities required to sustain life should not be priced like this. If we need to develop oil alternatives (and we do) do so, while gas prices are maintained low - through further oil drilling - then once alternative energy is really developed COERCE (like now) people to get off of the oil. Not while we have no choice.

Your not buying gas, your buying Taxes!!!!

Anyone that thinks it is a good idea to make gasoline expensive, can first, Kiss my dick. Then, if you feel so strongly about paying a lot for gas, go ahead, but leave me out of your own stupidity. Fuck progressives.

well my friend all that i can say is that u are still ok, in romania the gas prices are almost ridiculous, for unledead premium we pay 1,6 euros/litre and for diesel 1,7 euros/litre that's the price converted from our curency into euros, and believe me that one of 5 cars has an engine bigger than 3000cc and the trafic over here is just infernal, one of my cars is a mercedes sl500 the consumption during day drive goes up to 24L/100km instead of 15,6 as it does by night

Dude your math is way off! The dollar is worth 1/2. So 3.79x.0.90=3.411 per gallon! <--Thats cheap.

Your currency is worth double so gas is 4.15 a gallon now in US but thats = to 8.30 pounds!

So which would you rather pay?
