$80 a barrel.

Just when you think gas prices are going to be back to normal (normal as in $2.50 and under this day and age), BAM! Right back up to an all-time high of $80. Gas is back over $3.00. Just sickens me. Its sad nowadays gasoline is like a monthly bill you have to factor in.

I just hope it's not gonna be like in the 70's when the government limited the amount of gas people could fill, if I remember correctly...

Did you guys miss the news that OPEC is releasing more oil by November? Prices won't rise TOO much and will be steady for the hollidays unless something tragic happens.

How do you expect those that have to drive to their jobs to get to work if they don't buy gas.

Disagreed.

When you work 30 minutes from home, school 25 minutes from home and live in a city with pretty crappy public transportation, you don't have any options besides bend over and let them shove the gas pump right up your ***.

I wish we could go back to the days where it cost more to buy a footlong at Subway than to fill your gas tank. With the prices we had in '99/'00, my car would only need like 5-6 dollars to fill.

Those were the days. The lowest I can remember gas being was my freshman year I believe, and in Seminole, Oklahoma it was .79 a gallon. Just thinking about it saddens me. I mean to think it will never go even close that price again, ever.

Re: $80 a barrel.

Around $2.55 here for regular unleaded.

Re: $80 a barrel.

$3.19 here. Which seems high, but if you follow eceonomic trends and rates of inflations since the 1970's, its actually gone up less that the standard market basket of goods.

Re: $80 a barrel.

More importantly, how much MPG does your car get? Mine is pretty crappy. I get 18MPG city. Highway is 23 I think, not positive on that.

Re: $80 a barrel.

Well, unless u really have to - don't use the car. It's cheaper and it's better for the environment.

maybe in europe or something. America lacks serious public transportation in almost every city. I've had to drive 45 minutes to my job before, and know people that have even longer drives.

Not buying gas is unrealistic. Even if you managed to not use a car to get to work, you'll still probably feel it if you buy gas to heat your home in the winter. If you somehow managed to miss both of those, electricity bills will cost more as a result of higher price of oil.
