overtime98 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Gas prices 2.88 by me in Morris County. slowly hitting 3 dollars a gallon. 50+ dollars to fill tank again. Not worried because when people dont have money for shopping, retail sales will slide and they will be forced to lower gas prices. High gas prices effects everyone, and all of the economy.

Weekes Head Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Gas station at the end of the street is 2.91. Most places around me ar 2.82-3.00. It sucks, but I'm glad my car has excellent gas mileage so it's not hitting my wallet TOO badly yet. When it hits $4.00+ the world will undoubtidly implode, I fear.

That is the problem....I don't actually think it will. Notice how everyone is happy enough to pay over $3 now, when I arrived here five years ago it was $1.50. The slow steady increases, with little decreases in between make it all fine. I think it would take a real increase, for a sustained period of time to really get peoples backs up.

I hope we never have to pay that! I dont see it rising over 4 dollars a gallon, the economy wont let it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overtime98 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Some spots its still 2.83.... In Dover I think there is a few spots that it is 2.76. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I miss the days when gas was under a buck...Oh, and ot98, I live in Morris County too. I hear you on that one RD. Those were the days and now I think we will never see these gas prices under 2 dollars a gallon. With the summer coming I do hope the gas prices drop to at least $2.09 to the most $2.15. Paying almost 3 dollars a gallon is pure robbery and it needs to go down now. This will force a lot of drivers to take mass transportation if the gas prices rise over 3 dollars a gallon.

Satans Hockey Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 It's about 3.60 to 3.80 in New York, that's why I always fill up in New Jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oil companys just want Profit!!!and more of it!!! And the shopping companies and the hotels and the airlines, etc...aren't looking to make profits and more of it? Corporations are supposed to make as much profit as possible and if they're pricing too high people find other avenues to spend their money.

I think it would take a real increase, for a sustained period of time to really get peoples backs up. I don't disagree, but remember last year when the prices were approaching $3 for the first time? A huge stink was raised then, and action (or the appearance thereof) was taken. I think people are just sick of fighting over it. It's not that they're happy to pay it, they just don't see much of an alternative. As for this garbage about how the economy will collapse if prices hit $4... please. First of all, the economy won't take as big of a hit as some in this thread are saying it will, and second, does anyone honestly think the oil companies care? As long as they get their money, everyone else can go screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
