Gasoline Prices

[devildog]

You are calling a right wing Conservative a "tree hugging hippy" and you are calling Tom Freidman a "tree hugging hippy". You sir need to get your head out of the ground wake up. You don't have to be a hippy to want to not destroy the earth, last time I checked, you lived here too.

You want to buy an H2 or other SUV, I couldn't care less. But stop your whining when you have to pay for elevated gas prices. If you can't afford it, you shouldn't have bought it in the first place, Capitalism's a *****, deal with it or leave.

im not the one complaining about gas prices, i dont really care. i drive a 78 chevy cheyenne with a 454 under the hood, i new i was gonna pay alot for gas. im just saying everyone in this post sounds like a bunch of wining women, this is not the first time gas was this expensive, deal with it, itll go back down.

actually, yes it is the first time gas has been this expensive. And I don't think anyone is whining, just making coversation. That's what Friendly corner is for.

How can gas prices be high? I thought we were stealing oil from iraq?

I remember when I was paying 99 cents/gal. for regular unleaded back in high school...

American's are silly they cry and moan about paying over 2 bucks for a gallon of gas but will spend $4 plus for apack of cigarettes or even worse $2 for a 20 oz bottle of water.. Stop being a pansy and car pool or use alternative transportation.

It varies from $1.99 at the cheapest to $2.20 at the most

[rehme]

what can you expect with a oil man as president

[WicKeD_WaYz]

arent gas prices just going to keep going up? Someone explained to me it was kind of like a bell curve as far as gas prices and availability goes, we've already reached the top of the curve and its all downhill from here. In a couple decades we will probably need a new and more efficient fuel type anyway so maybe this is just the beginning of really high prices before we find a new, more efficient, fuel.

That more efficient and lower cost fuel is here. For those of you who dont know, Hydrogen is THE most abundant element in the universe.

Well, if Mr. Bush would hold up to his agreement to fund this fancy thing going on at CAT right now called the FUEL CELL then maybe we would be even closer to never needing oil again.


Now dont try telling me that fuel cells are not as cost efficient as gasoline motors. My dad is one of the head hanchos around the fuel cell program at CAT and i know quite a bit about it. It would cost the same amount to take water, split it into hydrogen (used to power the fuel cell) and oxygen ( we need this to live....) and then use the hydrogen and some of the oxygen to power the fuel cell. This does a few things for us. The by product is water, which can be used for power later....... and oxygen, which we need to live....

seriously think about it, the future is in fuel cells, and once the world is ready to accept this, catipiller will become one of the richest companies in the world, the company and its CEO possibly passing Bill Gates and Microsoft.

you dont understand that the more powerful people are not going to let this happen.
It would effect there profits.

But sooner or later something has to happen since the oil supplies will probably diminish to close to nothing in our lifetime.

[amrani]

i have a feeling that fuel cells will be replacing gasoline engines some time in my (a 15 year old) lifetime. Acutally, i hope that it is done sooner than later as it will have such a benefit on our environment and general life

I remember $.75/gallon in high school (for cheap Arco gas)--the good stuff was $.85/gallon

Anway, it's up to $2.21 here in R-Can-Saw--totally ridiculous
