to the OP: thanks for being yet another self-important hybrid driving douche.

 

For real i was thinking about getting one.. But i would murder it out haha. with some Works.. Thats how i would have to roll on that.

 

Uh no. I have a 600 hp car that gets 28mpg on the highway and 18-20 on normal beating on it driving. If you think your insight is "fun" to drive, then your definition is a little different than mine. You say you probably make more $ then others in this thread, but you can't afford to live closer than 60 miles from your work, and you can't afford to drive a non homosexual car to and from work?

This whole thread seems like it was started so you could feel better about your horrible situation.

 

Commie..........hardly.

Just pointing out that rising gas prices wouldn't be a major issue if many americans didn't have an obsession with large gas guzzling vehicles. How many times do you see a suburban or expedition on the road with one person in it? How many people buy these vehicles out of need, not want. Even at $4/gallon, we pay alot less than people in europe.


Gas prices are currently high and that is a result of several factors, the main reason being a dollar.

 

Wow you're an idiot... okay... take this into account. If everyone drove a fucking hybrid/80mpg what have you. Take a guess at what gas prices would be? They'd go up! That's basic fucking economics.

 

maybe i missed that eco class but please explain...if everone was buying alot less gas the price would stay steady and drop slowly if any at all.. gas in economics is "inelastic"

An inelastic good or service is one in which changes in price witness only modest changes in the quantity demanded or supplied, if any at all. These goods tend to be things that are more of a necessity to the consumer in his or her daily life.

 

Where did I ever say that everyone should drive hybrids or 80mpg cars? I could care less what people drive. If you want a vehicle that gets 12mpg go ahead and buy one, just don't cry when it costs $100 to fill it up. We live in America, we have choices...................drive whatever you want.

Oil demand currently exceeds output and will more so in the future, especially considering the rapid rate of economic growth of the world's two largest countries, India and China. Oil supplies are limited and will most likely run out in our lifetime. Economics also says that excess demand will lead to increase in prices. Think gas prices are bad now, just wait until the oil wells run dry.



I'm not calling out anyone in particular, its just a general statement about society. How many times do you see someone on the nightly news whining about gas prices and then driving away in their expedition?

 

why spend more money for gas just cuz u can afford it, i said nothing about not being able to afford to drive my truck i just said it would be crazy soending $150+ a week on gas, as for your 28mpg (bullshit) 600hp car i'm sure you get to use all of that power sitting in traffic, its about being practical and saving money for other toys and not wasting in arabs pockets.

 

honestly my thing is hybrids SUCK! yea u save money on gas, BUT ur spending the money u saved on a car payment, and also they are SLOW i can not drive a slow car everyday all day! i rather pay money for my premium gas and go fast then slow as shit lol
