Ride your bike on the fucking sidewalk.
There seriously has to be something wrong with you to want to ride a pedal bike on the road with cars.

It isn't in the UK.
And for good reason - fast moving bike + slow moving pedestrian = mucho pain, if not death, for one party or both.
$4.00 a gallon? Waah waah waah - stop with the whingeing. The rest of the world has been paying more than that for about 20 years.
You still have the cheapest petrol in the developed world right?
Maybe buying something which does better than 20MPG might have been an idea, I mean does a student really need a 4.0 litre sports car to drive his siblings around in?

Fuck Israel
Your statement proves the OP's point even more. You're exactly right, we've been paying this small amount for a long time, and now, things are starting to become unbalanced, and shift in a different direction. Regardless of who has been paying what, its these drastic changes that will result in a crisis.Dilbert_X wrote:

So your govt would have done you a favour if they had increased fuel tax, reduced another tax and thereby encouraged everyone to buy more fuel efficient cars.
But noooooo the oil companies own the govt and they want you to burn it as fast as possible.
And what on earth is the US 'driving season' ?

US citizens travel more during certain seasons, and not all people fly when they travel. I think you can finish it from here.Dilbert_X wrote:

$4/gallon ay. My, how ever will you cope...
illegal in California. and no way I'd bother trying. i go through 2 speed traps and several stop sign traps (the cop hides around little-used stop signs to grab people rolling through) on my way to school alone. think they wont stop me for biking on the sidewalk? think again. i've seen it.Sgt.Gene wrote:

edit: @dilbert: i didn't buy the car. my parents did. it was dirt cheap and only 2 years used. thats why they got it. if i had been able to pick any car i could it would have been some kind of hybrid.

This will help make change in the future for a more energy effiecient society. well. hopefully.
Not that that means it's a Good thing..
Hell. I remember in High school when gas was 86 cents a gallon. I honestly thought that it was TOO little. When the gas hit about 2 dollars per gallon, it seemed about right. Now it's a little rediculous.

I got a tank of gas for my birthday.
Kinda sad, how great of a gift it was.

If he has a hard time paying for gas, I doubt a $150 ticket for riding a bike on the sidewalk will help him much. Its $150 for riding on the sidewalk, another $200 for riding through a stop sign, and the possibility of getting your bike impounded.Sgt.Gene wrote:

But just from a common sense standpoint, only idiots and douche bags ride their bikes on a sidewalk.
Too bad Diesel is $4.50 a gallon here. Not much of a solution.The#1Spot wrote:

Its eventually all gonna run out and we will be paying for something else to fill up our cars. Just another reason for us Americans to stop driving gas guzzlers.

There's more oil now than ever before and with new techology, they are able to go get it a lot more easily.Ender2309 wrote:
not really. its more the fact that the world's oil production is about to peak, meaning we're about to reach the amount at which oil is hard enough to find and procure that production will start to drop rather than climb. so its partially the oil companies in that they have to price competitively to keep the resource running, and partially that china and india are getting in the game and world population is climbing which all puts more strain on the supply.FallenMorgan wrote:
Here's a secret for you:
It's not the Iraq war, it's the oil companies.
The high price of Oil is directly connected to the fall of the american dollar.. Oil is traded in US$ (for now).. If the dollar go down, those fckers get less for their oil so they boost the price.
So ask yourself why the american dollar is dropping..
Its partly due to the "war on terror" in Iraq and Afghanistan..
But it is mostly because of the Federal Reserve who is messing around with the interest rates to save the american economy.
Solution? America save their own economy, cut the spending, stop threatening major oil supplyers (Iran and Venezuela) , get out of the ME and save a lot of money..
In the end, the dollar go back up, America is saved from bankruptcy, Oil price go down, Everybody is happy, People all around the world go out dancing in the streets singing: THANK YOU AMERICA!!
yes, like i said, we're reaching our peak supply. which is the most oil we can and ever will produce. its like a mountain. you spend all this time climbing up to the top and then you get back down in a quarter of the time.AutralianChainsaw wrote:

In the UK it is well over £1 p/ litre - isn't that more expensive? (According to a Google: 1 Imperial gallon = 4.54609188 litres)
i think so kyle, but we pay about .50 cents in gas taxes to the state and federal gov (they take about 17 cents). don't you guys pay like 2-3 pounds in taxes?
as well, its not the actual cost thats the problem. its the amount its skyrocketed in a year thats causing the trouble.
