| Gas companies I'm very frustrated with gas companies these days. They are charging us so much money to fill up our tanks. Yet, they are pocketing BILLIONS of dollars per year. This is NOT right!! I wish I could go without filling their pockets by not filling my tank, but my job is about 30 min from my house... luckily I'll have a couple of weeks here without having to commute everyday. Sorry for venting, I just heard this on the news and it bothered me. |

I am completely livid also. If I had any idea a year and half ago how expensive gas would be I would NOT have bought a stupid Ford F150 truck It now cost me $70 to fill that stupid thing up and Im lucky if it last 4 days . I cant afford to drive that thing- literally! but we owe way too much to be able to trade it in which really sucks. So we arr stuck with the "guzzler". Its also unfair that the trade-in value of trucks went down alot over the past year becasue no one wants to buy them anymore because of the gas cost. And we had an SUV also but ended up trading it in and taking a big loss on it, but I am so glad we traded it for a smaller gas-friendlier ford focus. I think we still end up paying $120- $150 a week in gas, easy .

| It's horrible. They're making RECORD PROFITS this year. They projected 10 billion last quarter. The sad thing is it's just making the rich richer and robbing from the common hard workers. It's all about greed. Greed in the US and especially in the Mid east. You think that those Beverly Hills mansions are nice? Try some of those PALACES in the mideast. They have ridiculous amounts of money and over 100 rooms that people get lost in while their countries still live in poverty because of the few that are too wealthy and have the most power. Honestly, it's made me so sick that after we move in OCT we are getting a hybrid. Of course it will take years to "save" money on gas because they are more expensive than regular cars. But I honestly can't wait to drive by some of those gas stations and give those $3-$4 signs "the bird". That would be worth every penny. It's hard to budget with gas prices going so crazy. I would rather pay more for a car so that my budget is more regular. I think that would be less stressful. |

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I'm sorry for anyone who has to drive. I hope that gas prices go down a little before I learn to drive. Though with how things are now, it'll probably be even more.
