Damn it's getting high.
Im paying over $4 a gallon.
The real question is are you still stealing the neighbor’s underpants and pinching your pump through your pocket?
shareNo, not really but most of what I do everyday is close, so I'm lucky in that respect, but I do like to just run around in my car and I'm probably being a little more conservative with that right now.
shareGenerally, I can stick very close to home, too. Yesterday though, I went to my granddaughter's band concert and that was about 90 miles roundtrip. I needed gas and paid $3.70 per gallon. I wasn't going to fill the tank, but then realized the price would only be higher the next time so why not?
shareNot me personally but sadly I bet its hurting millions of people across the country.
shareIt will hurt us all personally soon enough. The food and goods we buy are delivered by trains and trucks that require gasoline. Prices already inflated will rise even further as transporters pass along the higher fuel costs to wholesalers who will pass them to consumers
sharewe will see when winter ends here. i will pay a few cents more to cut off russian oil and gas. we should be developing more canadian oil and gas which is cleaner than russian oil and gas.
shareI'm all for cutting off Russian oil, too. I feel really sorry for the people who will suffer the most with the higher prices, though. These prices are going to affect everything and it's troubling that we haven't even recovered yet from inflation caused by the pandemic.
shareRussia suply less than 2% of Canada's oil imports. I don't get why the sanction is affecting the whole world. There must be someone somewhere trying to profit (a lot) here, not solely because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
shareThe switch to clean, renewable energy is long overdue.
shareThat won’t happen overnight, too many parties involved
shareEveryone needs to get on the same page. When the U.S. wanted to achieve a moon landing, they pulled out all stops to accomplish this. There has been a lot of talk about switching to renewable energy for decades, but very little progress.
Tackling energy problems and the related climate change should be today's equivalent of the Space Race.
I don’t disagree, then we could tell a lot of unsavory sorts to piss off
It would be nice if the powerful countries could manufacture their own vehicles again as well, a lot of the current situation is dire
So true about pulling together to accomplish things.
I think back to President Jimmy Carter who, in 1979, put solar panels on the White House roof. The next administration took them down. If only we had continued what he started...😞 At least he tried to lead us in the right direction.
I'm fine with renewables, otherwise I wouldn't be so heavily invested in them, but the transition is going to be extremely gradual and we are going to need gas an oil at least for the next few decades for things like transportation and home heating.
shareI paid $5.75 a gallon for gas this morning, because I was in a hurry and very low on gas, and that's what the station at the freeway exit charged.
But I can afford it.
The gas station right off the freeway always gouges you, but when you’re on ‘EMPTY’ you can only curse yourself for not planning ahead and simply pay up
It happens, I’m trying to fill the tank ‘inland’ from the main routes every weekend but this doesn’t always happen
