What are you talking about?  The world did not exist before the end of 2001, and all good Americans love paying more for oil.  If you don't like paying extra to line Bush's friends' pockets you should go to Iraq.\n\nbaby_balla_gaby: I thought the sarcasm in my comment was obvious.  Sorry if that wasn't clear.

A) Gasoline costs $2.02 for 1 gallon. We want to know how much 12 gallons of gasoline costs.\nx = cost of 12 gallons of gasoline\nx / 12 gallons = $2.02 / 1 gallon --- Cross-multiply...\n(1)(x) = (12)($2.02) --- Multiply...\nx = $24.24\nANSWER: The cost of 12 gallons of gasoline is $24.24 when one gallon of gasoline costs $2.02.\n\nB) Mr. Jones starts with $2,589.36 in his checking account. He writes checks for $689.00, $107.25, and $23.69. We want to know the remaining balance in his account.\nx = amount remaining in Mr. Jones' account\nx + $689.00 + $107.25 + $27.69 = $2,589.36 --- Combine the dollar amounts on the left side...\nx + $823.94 = $2,589.36 --- Subtract $823.94 from each side...\nx = $1,765.42\nANSWER: Mr. Jones has $1,765.42 remaining in his checking account.\n\nC) A 12 oz. can of soda costs (assuming you meant) $0.65. We want to know the cost of 1 ounce of soda.\nx = cost of 1 oz. of soda\nx / 1 oz = $0.65 / 12 oz --- Cross-multiply...\n12x = $0.65 --- Divide both sides by 12...\nx ≈ $0.05\nANSWER: An ounce of soda costs $0.05 when 12 ounces of soda costs $0.65.\n**Note: If you really meant that the soda cost $65.00 instead of 65 cents, then the price for an ounce of soda is $5.42 instead of a nickel.

I don't know who, but he needs to go hunting with the Vice Pres.  I am doing everything I can to save gas - run with little to no a/c, I only live about 20 min from work, I drive the speed limit, I combine all of my trips when possible, shop for cheaper prices, everything.  But $3 a gallon is going to break me this summer.

No. But I Sure Do From The Clinton/Gore "Regime"!Here's Why; As of 1996, all Vehicles Must Conform to the Insane EPA-OBD II Law that Applies to the Car that You're Driving, Right Now! That Law Dictaes that all Vehicles under that law must Run at 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel. Any Deviation from that, even if Fuel Economy is Improved, and Emissions are Lowered, will Result in a Failed Vehicle Inspection, and the Vehicle will be Illegal to Operate! That's the Law! And Clinton/Gore did it,"Because It's Good For The Children"! This is Insane!Please! Don't "Blame Bush" for That! So what's the suppressed Alternative? I've come up with a way to Convert Regular Pump Gasoline into Propane. I'm not the First, only the Latest. I went to the US Patent Office, and Checked Out the "Wild Stories" about how other similar Vapor Fuel Units have been kept off the Market. Guess What? It's True! Case in Point, the Pogue Carburetor, which is on File as having Achieved 100 + MPG on a Flathead Ford V-8 that, at best with a Conventional Fuel System got 15 MPG! My System could get 50 + MPG with even the Largest SUV, with an Equally Remarkable drop in Engine Pollution Emissions ! My System is Safe, Compact, and uses Low Pressure Air to turn Gasoline into Propane. To Run an Engine on Conventional Propane requires the use of a Large, Expensive, Cumbersome Tank, which must be Hauled with the Vehicle. Also, Expensive, Complex Fuel Metering Equipment. And, Finally the Extra Hassle of Specialized Refilling of the Tank. So much Hassle, that even with Gas at $3.00 per Gallon, it's just not worth it! See, on a Molecular Level, all Petroleum is the Same! I can Prove it! I can also Wind Up in Jail, or Worse! Every Vehicle on the Road could get at Least 50 + MPG, but thanks to Clinton/Gore, "It Ain't Gonna Happen"! Want Further Proof?

Not Totally. I Hear Everyone Complaining about the High Cost of Gas. I've Found a Way to Convert Regular Pump Gasoline into Propane.My Unit is Safe, Compact, and Uses Low Pressure Air to Do It. But, it's Illegal to Put on Any U.S. Vehicle Made From 1996 to the Present, even if Fuel Economy is Improved, and Emissions are Lowered.That's the EPA-OBD-II Vehicle Inspection Law.We Can Thank The Clinton Administration for That.If a Vehicle Does Not Emit Enough Pollution, It Will Fail Inspection, and be Illegal to Drive! This is Insane! I've Been to the US Patent Office and Looked at Patents Kept Off The Market. Case in Point, the Pogue Carburetor, Which is On File as Having Achieved 100 + MPG With a Flathead Ford V-8 That Normally Got 15 MPG!All OBD-II '96 ^ Engines are Set To Run 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel.My Vaporizer Does 100 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel, With an Actual Increase of Engine Power, and Longer Life. 50 + MPG With even the Largest SUV! And, It's Illegal! If I'm Wrong, then How is it That Engines DO Run On Propane? To Do So Legally Requires the Use of a Large, Cumbersome, Expensive Tank Cylinder, Which must be hauled with the Vehicle, Expensive Metering Equipment, and the Added Hassle of Having to Refill the Tank.So Much Hassle that even with Gas Going Back to $3.OO Per Gallon, it's Just Not Worth the Hassle!Again, I've Heard it Over and Over Today, and Tonight, People Complaining About the High Cost of Gas. Know What? All Petroleum is Essentially the Same on a Molecular Level. Only the Dispersal is Altered. But The OBD-II Law, that Applies to the Vehicle That You are Driving Can't be Altered! Most People I Try to Explain This To Don't Want to Hear It, But They Still Complain About the High Cost Of Gas. I'd Like to Fix Up Older Vehicles Converted to Vapor, and Donate Them to The Meals On Wheels Program, Volunteer Veterans' Services [We Owe Them So Very Much!] Homeless Shelter Assistance Centers, and Many Other Worthwhile Charities! See, Greed has Stopped This Every Time! Now, The OBD-II Law. So, No, I'm Not "Happy Tonight"!

Yeah... He's after oil alright, our gas prices have never been higher... Thank God he did what he did, because otherwise we may have more American cities having airplanes flying into the buildings... I'm also glad, that Bill Clinton was too busy doing what ever the hell he did for 8 years to return the phone call to give the ok to take out Bin Laden... I just hope we all as a country get our heads out of our asses... when it comes to Iran!

Yes to over $3 a gallon

About an 6-8 Hrs on a tank of gas, and the prices anywhere from 4-8 thousand dollars depending on make and model

Fill your tanks only half full uneless you need to make a long trip.You do not need to stock Bush's & Cheeny's gas on your shelf.This will cost the oil company's $3000,000,000.00 a day and will leave only half the room in the supply tanks To but in new gas.The tankers will be stacked off the coast trying to unload.I remember coffee going to $5.00 a pound in the seventys.People stopped buying and in two weeks the price was down to $1.50 a pound.Lets go Amercians the power is in your purse's and wallets "Let's Roll"

◙ the only way to get gas prices to go down is for everyone to stop paying them. you can't blame them for their high prices. you can only blame yourself for paying them.\n\n◙ here in east moline illinois gas is $2.53 :)

I'm tired as well.\n\nI'm even more tired of hearing its Bush's fault for the high prices, and then hearing how he is only in Iraq for the Oil.\n\n------------------\n\nalford, (below) give me a break, you can't really be that naive, can you?  The average profit on each gallon of gas is 9 cents.  The average tax on each gallon of gas is 50 cents.\n\nSupply vs. demand is what controls the gas prices.  Can you supply any evidence to your conspiracy theory that Bush is at the head of a table in a board room with all the oil executives plotting a master plan to raise gas prices?  Is he behind the high price of bottled water also?\n\nYou claim people dint know what they are talking about, while you make accusations without anything to back them up.\n\nBush wants to increase our oil supply (which lowers prices) by drilling in our own country, but your liberal hero's wont let him.\n\nBush wants to increase our means of refining oil (which would increase our oil supply) but your liberal hero's wont let him.\n\nYour a typical liberal, who has been brainwashed by the likes of Michael Moore, and Bill Mahr.  You obviously can't think for yourself.  If you could, you would be smart enough to look into the baseless allegations you make and realize they are ludicrous.

1.15 Euro per liter for diesel.  This comes out, if you convert it, to over $6.00/ gallon.  Don't complain!  I am in Germany.\n\nthe gas prices were artificially kept too low for too long in the US so now they are just normalizing.  If they had just been allowed to rise with all other prices, we'd be above $3 now and it would be normal.  I think at one point in the 80s it was over $2.  So really- it was just too low for too long in the US and is correcting itself now.

I paid 25 cents for a gallon of gas in 1971.  I was making $3.80 an hour.  In 2006 I am paying $2.85 for a gallon of gas.  I am making $80,000 a year.  My earnings have gone up, but along with that so have prices of products.  If inflation increases 5.1% for the year you are taking a 3% wage cut.

WRITE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE AND ASK WHY THEY WILL NOT RELEASE OUR OIL RESERVES???? THIS WOULD HELP BRING DOWN THE PRICE OF GAS!!! ALSO ASK WHY WE HAVE NOT BUILT ANY MORE REFINERIES IN DECADES!! THE OIL COMPANIES PURCHASED ONE A FEW YEARS BACK AND SHUT IT DOWN AND REFUSE TO OPEN IT AGAIN!!The soaring profits have already attracted the attention of many members of Congress. On Tuesday, House Speaker Dennis Hastert warned companies that any price gouging is "unacceptable, and any company who does it will be prosecuted." He urged the oil companies to explain to the American public what they are doing to bring down the cost of oil and natural gas. And he urged them to build new refineries and pipelines. THERE HAS BEEN NO NEW OIL REFINERIES BUILT IN THE USA SINCE 1976! WHY HUGE PROFITS AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHIGN ABOUT IT!!!

They are idiots that fall for good advertising.   They are also too dumb to realize they are paying $80 a gallon for a cup of coffee.  (Do the math: 8ozs/cup =16cups/gallon x $5each = $80 per gallon.)\n\nRemember this a nation that re-elected George Bush Jr.

As much as we ALLOW it to be. That's right, the price IS controlled by the citizens of this country and the amount of abuse they tolerate before standing up and fighting for what is right. Is it right that we as tax paying citizens must work as hard as we do just to buy more fuel to take us to work so that we can pay more taxes and buy more fuel? Enough is enough. The oil companies made BILLIONS in profits last year. How much did you make?

If gas was 12 dollars a gallon liberals would still complain about the oil companies making windfall profits and then STILL REFUSE to let them go after our own domestic oil off the coast or up in ANWR.  Instead of looking for solutions to the problem they would whine and caterwall and talk about how fragile the ecosystem is while 2000 acres or less than one half of one percent of the total land area of a frozen wasteland in Alaska remains untouched and the oil under the ground there remains out of reach. The funny thing is that liberal environmentalist p**sies know damn well that the oil could be drilled for with very little environmental impact - but their real agenda is a hatred of Capitalism - Isn't it time you guys moved to a cave somewhere and left the rest of us alone?
