The economy is rolling despite the gas problem. N.O. might shoot the economy back a little though.

true but compared to places like ireland and england gas is very cheap. but war and the hurricane katrina cause the pirces to inflate because of a worry of running out of supply so naturally the prices inflate.

in candad the past month has just been over $ 1 dollar per litre. but hurricane Katrina has caused them to jump into the 1.20 $ per range in gasoline. LOL isn't this an XBOX 360 FORUM ANYWAY. tongue.gif well techincally it could be because all prices on goods are going to slighty increase cause all goods must be shipped and oil is used to ship so either way someone is going to have to soak up high gas prices. us being the consumer.

I know people like to vent when the cost seems so high at the pump, but at the end of the day:

12000 (avg. US miles/year) / 20 (avg. US miles/gallon) = 600

A $1 increase in gas represents $600/year additional spending, or if you make _minimum wage_ about one day a month's work extra spent on gas (extra, of course, not counting initial outlay that would be paid anyway).

I'm amazed at the media's reporting of impending doom in this crisis, especially since a lot of us work _12 days_ a month just to pay the same 39% in taxes that come up every year, for instance. Higher prices suck, as usual, but at the end of the day it has very little bearing on even the most flagrant of expenditures, as witnessed by our crazy-strong economy.

My God is this off topic, sorry.

Well Katrina knocked out a few refineries which scared the hell out of people. As for the evil empire of OPEC cussing.gif Also, some people won't let us drill for oil yet complain about gas prices. dry.gif

Gas is $3.35 in Terre Haute Indiana (where I live.) Also, to top it off, We've been informed that they aren't going to be sending gas trucks to this entire state for quite a while because our main source of gas was in Louisianna. Hahaha what makes it even better is now produce trucks won't deliver to this state because they won't be able to stop and get gas. Doesn't look good for us here in Indiana does it?

The $3.35 is the regular gas too (the cheapest stuff)

Gas is cheap in England, they just tax the hell out of it, it's insane, the same way with most of Europe.
