Did somebody sneeze in the middle east last night?

Fucking gas jumped up 20 cents overnight.

You're probably just catching up to the west coast price.

You guys are probably at $4/gallon by now, huh? We're at $3.10.

Went up about 20 cents PER LITER here in BC recently.  Pretty much over night.  We are paying about $130.00 per liter now (that's about $5.00 a gallon)  I'm going to shoot my car!

Horray for bicycles and those fruity little scooters that get great  milage.

How much does it cost?

[CHANCE]

On "The discovery channel" last night a topic "future car", they were showing many advances in auto tech. They had an electric car that went from zero to one hundred and back to zero in eight seconds! there was also a new design called "Scateboard" You purchase the scateboard chassis, and whenever you want a new car, you purchase it and it is installed on this scateboard chassis. The chassis contains the hydrogen fuel cells and the complete electro/mechanical systems. Very few moving parts means low maintence. It will be available in everything from an exotic sports body, to a pickup body.

Don't know the cost of the Reva as yet, am checking it out.  Understand they are not too much tho. They are available in EU and UK now.  The thing about them is that they are a "now" functioning, readily available automobile, not a "future" car.  Many thousands on the road in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, etc.

Also, Brasil have totally converted away from petrol.

It can be done.

Mostly in the $3.50 range for unleaded in the suburbs.  Some places are well over $4.

Forgive the repetition -- we need to boycott Exxon/Mobil and Shell.  And you need to ask your friends to do so.  If we can drive down the prices of the largest companies, the smaller will follow.

As found on the internet:

We're at $1.18 / litre (which is $4.47 / US gallon).  That's silly since I live a few miles from the refinery in an area of Canada which has just as much oil in the ground as Saudi Arabia.

The answer is to reduce demand. Drastically. The rate at which our society consumes petroleum is unsustainable. One of the most inconvenient truths of all.
