1. POO on all you SUV driving buttwipes!!!

That is all.

[mike_c]

2. dayum-- I only break the hummer out on weekends....

:hide:

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. As if SUVs are responsible for t he high gas prices. Grow up!

That is all!

[madeline_con]

9. What I SAID was...

SUV driving buttwipes deserve to shell out more for gas! Guzzle guzzle.

[mhr]

10. My SUV Is 8 Years Old - Paid For - Mechanically Sound

You want me to take on payments?

[SammyWinstonJack]

12. !

:thumbsup:

[madeline_con]

15. Do what you feel.

People whose vehicles have crappy mileage need not complain about the price of gas. They made their bed, and have to lie in it.

Nothing personal, just an observation.


(Edited because typos suck.)

16. Hey, our household has ONE vehicle a JeepLiberty

yes it has 4 WD because we need it in the winter. It has the space we need to haul things and just because I am a woman, I REFUSE TO DRIVE A STATION WAGON OR MINI-VAN.

I am the only one that drives 98% of the time and I LIKE MY JEEP

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. !

:thumbsup: This SUV bashing on DU gets tiresome.

[madeline_con]

22. I'm getting flamed for my comment.

I see way too many people who have no use for a truck, drivig around bitching about the price of keeping it going, that's all. :hide:

27. The Rebuttals Reflect Reality Of Individuals And The Naive Assumption

That we all understood or knew about Peak Oil when we purchased our current vehicle.

My vehicle was purchased in January 1998.

I first learned of Peak Oil in 2000.

30. We're one up on ya!!

2 Jeep Liberties here - one's a Renegade - Jeep, it's a grrrrl thing!

Though we do walk, take the motorcycle, and ride the bus whenever we can.

[greenbriar]

33. ours is the liberty renegade. Best vehicle ever

period

[northofdenali]

35. Yeah, we LOVE ours -

lots of mining trails in the backcountry around here, and you just can't take a standard SUV on them. Especially during breakup. Or in deep snow.

When we go hunting, we don't tear up the tundra on an ATV - we take the Jeep out on a mining road, or logging road, park and walk. It starts at 50 below, and warms up inside of 20 minutes (the heater is so good, it'll run you out at 20 below). Gas mileage isn't great, but it's good, and a 4WD is almost a necessity here, if you're going to live/work/play out of town in winter (or, again, during breakup).

It's a Jeep thing! :hi:
(Mine never stays this clean........)

[neuvocat]

4. I've seen it at 3.07 in some places.

Maybe replacing my car wasn't such a bad thing (now that I've got something with better mileage).

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. yep and replacing your car will bring down the price of your groceries.

:eyes: It's not just what you drive that affects your cost of living per fuel costs.

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. I say we sweep the Republicans out of office and begin a friendly

alliance with Chavez. I hear they're good to go on the oil thang for 80 years.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. Sounds good too me!

[Jayhawk Lib]

25. Chavez is not dumb.

He is going to sell his oil for what the market price is. He would really be foolish not to.

[RebelOne]

6. It has jumped 10 cents here in North Georgia

Yesterday it was $2.58. Today it is $2.68 on average at most stations.

[RagAss]

7. how do you feel about that?

[mike_c]

17. ambivalent-- I don't like paying more, but if high prices encourage...

...conservation that's a good thing. PERSONALLY I have alternatives and really need only drive my car a couple of days a week, so I view everything more than that-- including using it to commute-- as the price I'm willing to pay for the extra convenience, until it simply prices me out of using my car more than absolutely necessary. If this rain ever stops I'll be bicycling more than driving anyway.

[jody]

8. I understand the concern over gas prices but they will go up regardless of

which party is in office unless we find alternative sources of energy.

[converted_democrat]

13. 2.94 a gallon here in central FL...n/t

[MadisonProgressive]

14. It's only 2.80 here - na na na na na!!!

[converted_democrat]

19. I thought Floridians were supposed to get a better deal on gas

since our Governor is the President's brother..?? Or, at least that's what my freeper neighbors thought.. (They really did think that.. I shit you not..)

[MadisonProgressive]

23. To add insult to injury - I lied

It's really 2.799!

[SammyWinstonJack]

24. Some would think that we Texans would get a better deal on gas

since the pResident is a *Texan*. :rofl: AS if. :silly: Wait, he couldn't find oil in Texas. :yoiks:

[Nicole]

32. na na na na yourself! It's $2.55 here.

Here is OKC, OK. :P

[July]

18. Saw $2.99 this morning in southern CT. nt

[LeaveIraqNow]

26. Doesn't CA have a much higher gas tax than other states?

[sarcasmo]

28. Just drove back from Florida $2.75- $2.87 average.

Florida, Tenn, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan.

[liberalhistorian]

29. Wow, I guess I shouldn't feel

too bad, then, about gas being up to $2.60 here in Rapid City, SD. It's even less in some other parts of the state. Course, it wasn't that long ago that gas above $2.00 was considered excessive. SIGH.

[YouthInAsia]

31. I paid $3.09 in philly (which is really $3.10)

[LaPera]

34. Go to Costco (Wabash)...Its about 16 cents a gallon cheaper...
