What the fuuck is going on?!! Gas is going up to 1.95 for 87 octane!!:angry:

 

blame it on arizona. I nominate my state for biggest shithole in the nation.

 

$1.40 for sum 89

 

Yea, I hear its pretty bad out there in AZ..

 

damn i came back from vegas last week and gas for 91 jumped from 1.70 some to 2.03??!?!?!..wth is goin on?

 

2.29 for 87 here.

 

and i thought it was bad in california..whats with the high prices?

 

rediculous. i paid like 1.89 for 93 a few weeks ago, now the cheapest i can find it is 2.09.

fuck you, oil companies. :swear2:

 

this morning my girlfriend drove around to 6 gas stations before she could even get gas, they were all sold out. the one place that did have gas was raising the price every 10 minutes, and there was a line down the block.

this is bullshit. the gas supply line breaks, so now the few gas stations get to charge whatever they want. maybe its a conspiracy.

 

OUCH...

... and I thought I was taking it in the shorts when I paid $1.71 for 93 this weekend...

 

a supply line that gets 30% of the gas into Phoenix is busted. there was still enough supply for normal demand, but all the idiots here ran to the pumps with gas cans to fill up everything they could as soon as they heard the news. there was enough for NORMAL demand, but not for hordes of morons filling up every container they have. so now theres no gas here, and all the gas stations on the west coast are going to raise prices.

 

Maybe? Hello, you have a gas company goverment, what do you expect?

 

damn, you guys got it rough, i was pissed when i filled up yesterday, 1.61 for 89

 

1.61...even before this whole gas shortage deal I was paying I think around 1.89 for 91.

 

PRICE IS $3.90 FOR A GALLON NOW HOLY SHIT.

 

ride your moutain bike

 

i was just watching the news that sucks!!!!!!!! they really need to be some laws placed on these gas prices, people cant just raise their prices like that!!!!

 

yikes this means that gas prices on the eastcoast will rise as well

 

haha great... 4.97 now in downtown phoenix.

 

$1.93 for 93 octane here in Northwest Chicago Suburbs. You guys act suprised! I don't thing George W Bush and Dick Cheny mind high oil prices at all. In fact, they probably support them!

This kind of blows some holes in their policies though. Not much sense drilling in ANWAR when we basically own Iraq. And last Friday, GWB offered up two Residential resolutions.

1: Any Iraqi oil imported into the US. US oil companies CAN NOT be sued if they pollute the land or waterways in the US.

2: We will take any and all Iraqi oil and sell it on the open market to recover money owed to Haliburton (former CEO: Dick Cheny), which now amounts to some $651,000,000 until the bill is paid off. By the way, that $651M was ill gained. Companies were to bid on the contract to rebuild Iraq, but once again, Dick and his buddies pulled a fast one, which we will pay for in high energy prices.

Naw, I don't think the Resident or the Vice Resident are making one thin dime off of this stuff. By the way, last year for the gas grill, 20# of propane was $8.53. Today I paid $16.14. My $44 every two months (I am on a budget billing plan) has gone to $86 for gas for the condo.

The oil companies restrict supply in order to keep prices high. In fact, the supply is kept at about 95-98% of demand. That way they can control the prices.

And if you think that this is bad, I am predicting that we will see electricity rise by about 25-33% in the next year at the consumer level. Just as soon as the Oval office figures how to pull the wool over the publics eyes. Of $20,000,000 contributed by energy companies to political campaigns in the 2000 elections, two thirds of this went to the Republicans (source: Rush Limbaugh.)

My Dad had one job in his entire life. He worked for Com Ed (now Excelon) in Illinois for 51 years straight. He built large scale power lines and distribution grids. And yes, these things have to be maintained. But it is mostly in the controls, software, switches, transformers and the physical structures that hold the wires. Figure that if the government says that they need $50,000,000,000 to straighten out this mess, that $5,000,000,000 is really needed and the rest will be profit in the form of graft.

I am oversimplifing the problem here, but when was the last time you had to maintain a WIRE in your car?

If anybody here can't figure out why energy prices are high, I can draw you a picture.

 

AZ has it bad...I still hope I can find gas to fill up today after work. This really sucks balls!

All this price gouging...someone's gonna get dinged for that!

 

Yes GSRBLACK. It will be Bush. American citizens do not care for kings.

 

there is no price gouging law in arizona. most states have it, but not here. according to napolitano you have to report it to the attourney general of the US, not of the state.

napolitano gets campaign contributions from the company that supplies the gas to phoenix, so now she is covering their asses.

maybe we can get this that lesbian napolitano recalled like grey davis. shes terrible.

 

Beetroot: Question. Does she have an (R) after her name? If so, it figures.

 

No. (D). even worse.

 

Ouch!

 

just went to fill my car right after seeing this thread....$2.17 for 91

 

 

$2.03/ gallon for 92 Octane.

You know what really sucks? The fact they up the prices on the gas currently in the ground tanks at the station. I would expect to see the higher prices after they come in to refill the stations. The minute a crisis anywhere occurs they jack the price up. I swear some of the station owners just have all the news stations on 24/7 with their fingers crossed some tanker sinks, a war starts or a pipeline bursts.

 

Holy moly!!! Imagine filling up a Suburban or H2 full tank.....

 

CLSter: Congratulations! You may have cracked the code.

Here in Chicago is the drill:

After Sunday dinner, the cost of gas goes down, maybe 4, 5%.

It stays that way, until:

You buy gas again, Wednesday night. Now, it is up to what it was last week, plus, maybe, a little more. $1.93 for premium, right now.

 

The local news was interviewing the public about gutter slut and the consensus was recall.

 

In Az, 90% of the politicians are so fucking corrupt. Party affiliation does NOT matter. The repulicans are racing the democrats to see who can fuck up this state the most and right now, the democrats are winning.

 

The Gas in MA/NH jumped like 5 cents a Gal.

 

only man in az government i trust is senator john mccain.

gutter slut HA. I like it, and I would love a recall. I hate napolitano shes so corrupt. that whole squaw peak deal pissed me off so much.

 

yeah no shit, rename squaw peak to "piestewa" because some native bitch serving in iraq war killed herself by crashing her hummer into a parked vehicle...

To me and many arizona people its still squaw peak to me!

Fucking gas prices are insane. I'm gonna wake up tonight at around 2-3 am just so I can fill up so I can *maybe* get to school tommorow...!!@!@$*#*)%&*#$(&#$(&# FUCK!

oh and john McCain is the best!!! He is the only one in politics that actually is passionate about fixing this fucked up country and he has the backbone to bust people's balls on stuff quite often.

Napolitano is such a grotesque bitch. I would seriously cut my own dick off before I would fuck her. I could go on and on....


ps 83rd and thunderbird has gas(that is if you live on the west side)

 

there were lines at gas stations all the way into the street at 1:30AM tonight... I finally found a couple stations in NE Mesa (on Higley) that had gas with no major lines but they only had 87 octane and I paid $2.09 for that.

I hope they're working 24/7 to get that friggen pipe fixed

 

I got lucky this morning. I got 10 gals this morning and I waited 15mins and paid 2.15 for premium. I am not driving my car any more unless it's an emergency.

 

You need to get the facts straight bro. Lori Piestawa was driving in a convoy that became lost and was ambushed by Iraqi forces. I don't agree with renaming the "mountain" after her, but I do feel she should be remembered, in the city where she was born.

 

Fl went up too. I paid $1.86 for 93. Last week it was $1.74.
