Rep Your Gas Price

[Variable]

That doesnt seem very economic.  However it would be really funny to watch.

[bright lights, big city]

prices went down here by 15 cents...hooray!!

[Variable]

So if you have a 20 gallon tank.  You just saved $3.00. 

It always confused me why people bicker over one stations being a penny more or less.  People will drive across town to save a dollar on gas because one station is 2 cents less than one close to their house.  Strange.

[devilinside]

I know,when end the end they wind up the same cause they wasted gas driving farther. (reminds me that I hate people that "stalk" you at the store for your parking spot and you have a shit ton of things to put in the car still,when they coulda parked a little further away and already been in the store but noooooo they're too fucking lazy.)

And gas is at 3.96

[Variable]

yeah no shit.  that parking lot shit bugs me too.  I always just park on the furthest end of the parking lot.  You are guaranteed to get a spot right away.  And you actually burn a significant amount of calories thought the week by doing so.  Even in huge parking lots its like a 1 or 2 min walk.  really people, you cant handle this?

[mrs_swa]

...just passed the gas station, it's at $4.19.

[White Pwny]

Yep, had to get gas today...... ugh.... $4.19

do you have free health care in new zealand?  Or some other form of large government social program?

Yeah, pretty much. We pay acc (about 1% per month) means A&E is free and if you fuck yourself up the government will pay you to be off work.

[Variable]

yeah exactly.  I figured so much.  Americans think gas prices are bad now.  If Obama get elected and actually convinces congress to go along with his ridiculous health care plan.  We are all going to be paying $10.00 a gallon.  Taxes will be out of this world.  Nothing is free kids.

Are you meaning thats one of his policies (Health care) and you're aginst it

[Variable]

"Free" health care

[alvarezbassist17]

dude it's terrible how badly the democrats want to turn this country into a socialist state

[Variable]

I dont think your average voter thinks about that.  Well, granted your average voter probably doesn't even know the difference between democracy and socialism.  But still.  Its so easy for a politician to just pitch some idea that sounds all warm and fuzzy.  When in reality its complete bull shit.  No one actually takes the time to think about the long term.  "oh no one will go hungry or homeless and free health care for all!!! vote for me!!! " ok, sounds nice and all.  But who is going to pay for their food , shelter, and healthcare if they cant?  Right, think long and hard about that one.  Why not just give the government all of our money.  And let them distribute it equally.  Then we can all be equally the same and happy.  Whats that called again?

a pipe dream

[Variable]

I suppose

Like weight, horsepower depresses fuel economy. Simply knocking a third off the horsepower of new U.S. passenger vehicles would, in about a decade -- as efficient new vehicles replace wasteful old ones -- eliminate approximately the amount of oil the United States imports from the Middle East. Yes, it's that simple. Race cars need lots of horsepower; suburban family cars do not. Excessive horsepower causes the United States to be dependent on Middle East dictatorships, engages military commitments to those dictatorships, drives up the price of oil and pushes down the value of the dollar. Horsepower is also the enabler of road rage -- rapid acceleration allows cutting off, drag racing and sudden lane changes. Road rage entered national consciousness as a problem in the mid-1990s, exactly when the horsepower ratings of new vehicles began to spike.
