Re: Why Gas Prices Are So High
Not new ones, but last time it happened when we hit $4, people were selling their gas guzzlers at much cheaper price.
We had a thread on this couple of years back and let me say what I said then. Let me do a little math for you &Passionate.
Lets assume that you drive a car that gives you 20 miles per gallon. Lets say that you drive 1200 miles a month. That makes it 60 gallons. Lets assume that you are happy if gas is $3.15 a gallon, but now you want to cry cause its $4.15 a gallon. DO you know the difference per month? You are only paying $60 extra every month. We spend more than that on Coffee, Pizza - heck we spend more that that in one trip to Walmart on impulse buying.
Honestly, gas price hike is not that of a big deal, We just make it to be.
Now I know that slowly all other prices and services hike up when gas prices go up, but it happens so slowly that we hardly notice that (compare the price of one gallon of milk or one dozen eggs with the prices in 2008 and you will hardly see any diff)
