    Welcome to bright sunny california where we pay 3.10 for regular and up to 3.30 for super. This is funny as on my way to work (40 miles rt) I pass no less than 3 refineries and the largest offload area on the west coast.

    Gofinger? :mad:

    Everything is more expensive in Cali...

    If I lived there, I'd sell my house, move back to AZ and buy myself a small mansion.

    :eek:

    Here in Monmouth, Oregon, gas is $3.15 a gallon for supreme and $2.95 for regular.... but that was a few days ago. It has been steadily climbing almost 5 cents a day for the past week.

    I have to admit I'm quite excited for the future a world without oil,I hope I'm alive to live through it,it makes me wonder how crazy society will become and how we will get through it,will people be picketing around the pumps again in the uk soon,I think in the next decade it will get really bad as truth about how much oil countries ACTUALLY have comes to light.

    Will people be trying to kill each other for a tank of fuel?

    I find it hard to understand anger over something thats inevitable,as my dad used to tell me "if you cant do anything about it why worry" ,he started going bald early too :)

    thre price boards of uk petrol stations always have an eery look to me,it reminds of the people looking at the air fans in total recall knowing that thier life depends on them,convert those prices into $

    what will happen, EVENTUALLY, is that money will be plowed into making cars that run on something else. the elelectric 'grid' will rely on solar, wind, water, and geo-thermal power. the only reason i can think of that this hasnt happened yet is that the oil cartels rule the politics.(IMHO)
