A Gallon of Gas in Saudi Arabia

NYbenben

dont they sell gas by the liter in Europe and the middle east? there are about 4 liters in a gallon...are we talking about $.45 per liter? i cant imagine it would be $.10 per liter. if that is the case we are talking about $2 per gallon.

no the program I was watching converted it to price per gallon.

George Bush was in Saudi Arabia again begging for them to pump more oil. I guess the Dick Cheaney Energy Group didn't count on an oil crisis. Although, Enron representatives were invited to attend it. The current administration failed us and continues to fail us.

Look at this,

oil prices go down the same day an investigation into price manipulation is announced....

those pricks...............


and I can't see myself moving there even if the gas is cheaper.

but I saw today on TV that Susan Sarandon is going to move out of the US if McCain gets elected. (They said why'd she not move already then for the Bush administration.)


Maybe she is moving there?

I know, I know...........



But seriously my son said that his history teacher was telling them that 2/3 of our oil is already coming from our sources and that only 1/3 is from Saudi. He said that also in the 70's when there was a gas crisis it was because we were relying on our own gas and could not function because we use so much of it. (the 70's were a blur evidently; I don't recall that..........hmmmmmm). I think we should really cut back. live as if it $100 a gallon and make an effort to go cold turkey on foreign oil. They blow and they don't like us so why make them rich? Maybe when we start pulling together to make a better US we will be happier and also live more intentionally, not only complaining ( I do it all the time; so by no means am I pointing the finger at anyone else; only you know if you are there as well) but changing the things we don't like. We still can do it; we do have the power, people.

I don't drive... but I'm pretty sure it's about 1.30euro per litre here... $2 so that's $8 a gallon... so quit moaning

Average wage is higher... and everything's more expensive... plus high government taxes.

This is big news and there is definetly more to this story. However, I don't think they will ever get to the bottom of what is truly happening. Supply and demand my ass. Just some crooked fuckers trying to make an extra billion at our expense. I hope some people get busted.

I am not moaning. I try to make it a point not to complain about anything that I am not constructively attempting to fix. Even if my ony power is letter writing, that at least is making my point to someone who is able to do something about it. sorry if I came off that way, truly.

but I am taking less rides and living more consciously. And although most of the ways that those traits come out in me are not ones I would choose if asked, I do know that they grow me into a level of a person who is thinking instead of just living and that is enough to be not something that is in vain.

(but, ok, lesson learned..........enough already...........)

oh no... sorry I didn't mean you... I meant in general shoulda been clearer on that.

thanks. if anything here, I never want to be misunderstood. you know? I see that it so so easy to appear different in print.

I truly don't want to do that. so, thanks. truly.

67% of it (approx) goes to the government as fuel tax. so as fuel costs rise, so does the duty as the govt doesnt see fit to cut their duty to help people


they are, quite clearly, a bunch of cunts and bawbags
