My car runs on premium, so the price hikes are hitting me earlier and harder for this area. Regular is about 2.80+, premium which i need, is right around 3.00+. I filled up yesterday for 3.12, but ive seen the price as high as 3.50.

Wish they built cities differently..put everything in walking distance. Only need to drive when you need to get to a further city. I remember reading a theory about this two years ago..forgot it though.

that would be physically and quantumly impossible. No "new layout" would put everything in say, New York, in walking distance. Unless we built a system of wormholes in every city. Thats retarded. oOo:

It was based on cities that were built in the past. The only general reason our cities are more spread out is because of the population. Certain things that people flock to could be built closer, such as a mall. The mall here is surrounded by other companies that could be placed at certain locations in a city. Certain cities are very spread out even with a small population. It was a good argument but like I said I forgot most of the key arguments so I unfortunately can not further explain. And the cities that were layed out in his theory were not based on large scale, highly populated cities like new york. So shut the fuck up.

Ah, I see.Had you said something comprehensible like "changed the way cities were layed out/distributed" I may have understood. But you said "Built", which suggests changing the cities physically. But its still not going to help, it just increaes the chances that things you need are still going to be in the next city or you have friends in another city, increasing the amount you must drive. Trust me, I live in a system like that, all smaller separate cities, and we have to drive more and farther more often.

PS, Im pissed at short, not you biggrin:

Unknown_Sniper 04-23-2006 03:19 PM

prices are right around $2.90/gal. here. IVe heard they might be up to about $4 by mid summer which is fine with me cause I dont drive during the summer. I wouldnt be surprised if I had to fill my tank only 3 times.

Doesn't matter, that's not the fucking point. Who cares, if people want to "splurge" on themselves and drive down to the ice-cream shop every monday and get an ice cream, conserving gas for that 5 minute ride shouldn't even be in their mind. Point is, Exxon Mobil made 700 Billion dollars last year.

People, especially North Americans, need gas. It's a necessity to get to work, or whereever the fuck they're going. The douchebags who are getting disgustingly rich off of the middle man's dollar should be put to death.

We complain too much, I was in spain last year and I saw gas prices at 5-6 euros.

SoLiDUS 04-23-2006 04:33 PM

It's 1.13$ here for one litre of regular...

I won't be driving around as much if I can help it. Easy for me though, because I'm a fucking computer geek. :)
