Oil prices: Are people really that stupid?
People cry about oil prices, but think back in the 60's and 70's when cars got 5-15 mpg. Some cars would make it up to 20-30 mpg, and the cost of a gallon of gas was under a dollar, but the economy, cost of living, and price tags were lower. When was it actually cheaper?
Then: at a dollar per gallon to go 60 miles would cost between 4-5 dollars.
Now: at 2.50 per gallon to go 60 miles WOW! 4-5 dollars!!!! With a higher minimum wage even!!
Now we have cars that can get up to 80 mpg... If you're one of these people who still have a car that get 5-15 mpg you're the problem! Not the US! Get a better job and buy a better car! I know alot of people under 23 who pays for their own 30 mpg+ cars. My mommy and daddy aren鈥檛 rich, but I have a car that gets a good 40 mpg that I paid for myself while I鈥檓 in college!
I'm tired of people pointing fingers at politics because of oil prices. It's called inflation! Should we complain about the high cost of milk and it's less and less qualityOil prices: Are people really that stupid?
I think you are right, kudos to you !Oil prices: Are people really that stupid?
Common Sense and the Free Market under control of supply and Demand..., But ignorance is blind...nice speech. Report Abuse
Planned obsolescence (Not sure if I spelled that right) is a design made to specifically brake down material parts faster than they should or have too. Car companies Oil companies, even hospitals and Big pharmacy love this. I was talking with a German engineer who swore to me that we already had the technology to create a care that got 300 mpg. Yes 300 miles per gallon. He said that people were so conditioned to believe whatever they where told that they could not see the obvious. He pointed out to me that we can send a man on the moon, THE MOON. If we can do this making better cars is child's play. However there would be a major decrease in money and the economy if no one had to repair their car's or at least rarely had to. By the way, at best you will find maybe 35 mpg with the best of Toyota's. What care do you own? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Well it is politics. It is people getting rich. I do believe in a more economical car that doesn't burn as much. However i don't mind paying 10 a gallon if it will get us off the dependance of it. No one car pools, No one wants to clean their car up and get rid of excess weight. Mini vans with children things that look like rolling romper rooms, Cowboy wanna be's who have to have a 3 ton car because their pennis is small. you get the pic. Its politics.
im tired of your ignorant remakrs fool. this whole thing is crap and so are you
you have no foot to stand on let alone lack a TON of information.
first off.....cars on average in the 70's got 19mpg.....and cars today get the same 19mpg.
there is no such thing as a car that gets 80mpg and if you REALLY believe the sticker on your car and you believe you get 40mpg...then you keep living that fantasy. See most already know that those stickers lie and all auto makers lie on what the true gas mileage is.
take the time for at least 3 complete tank ups, track your miles, price you paid, etc and figure it out for yourself. I will bet that it won't be over 32mpg if you are lucky. and all these friends of yours that drive 30+ mpg cars....again....do the same math and you'll realize that these cars are only getting about 22 mpg....gee....3 mpg more than the avg from 70's and today.
the problem is you have taken at face value the info that is fed to you instead of actually doing some homework to find out the real truth.
and I am sure you are one that believes its okay to be in iraq to build this new secret oil pipeline that Cheney wants at the cost of thousands of our boys and over 150,000 INNOCENT iraqi's. why are they doing this? cause they realize the coast along texas and new orleans isn't gonna be able to be used soon due to wet lands disappearing. this is where all the oil companies are now. iraq is nothing but a new home base for them, that is the whole goal.
so why not take it a step farther and get off your so called high horse and actually get rid of the gas car and start walking...specially if you are in college. if all college kids alone ditched their cars and walked on campus like they should.....gas would drop down to around $1.15 per gallon. its the same reason why gas dropped almost 80 cents after summer was over....it wasn't cause there is an increase in demand in summer but all the high school kids our just driving around doing nothing...that wastes gas and in turn drives the price up. when they go back to school every fall, the price drops right in line with them.
let alone why should we still be on gas cars anyways? are you telling me that college kids can't come up with a new way of transportation or a new fuel source? my age group of mid 30's has a ton of ideas but the youth is who is suppose ot do the changes. so where is your generation at? off complaining and bitching instead of actually doing something.
There's no sense in me complaining, it looks like you have all the answers! Can you name the cars that got 5-15 MPG? I lived then and I can't...did you just make up these figures to get your point across? Owned. Check again.
Touche'
Sure you can buy a hybrid that gets 60mpg for about $50,000 on up. It would take many years to pay that of even if gas was cheaper. Before paying off your car it would break down too lol.
Hi Laura B didn't think I would recognize you did you ? how can I ever forget?
Is that really you, NONAME?
I really do like you-even if you don't like me!
BTW I happen to agree with you.
STOP DRIVING
People who drive EVERYWHERE THEY GO, ONE PERSON PER CAR -
YOU ARE ALL THE PROBLEM
And it isn't the COST of gas my friends, it's the fact the WORLD IS RUNNING OUT OF FOSSIL FUELS IN OUR LIFETIME!
So everyone who drives is contributing to the problem. Everyone who uses plastics is the problem. Everyone who eats NON-LOCAL, NON-ORGANIC food is the problem!
This is the dumbest argument I have ever seen. To say that gas prices have nothing to do with politics is asinine. Foreign and domestic policy has everything to do with politics. I suppose you are one of those people who think that we shouldn't go to war to protect freedom and democracy and to help other oppressed societies in other countries. How can you sit there and say that rising gas prices are merely caused by inflation when Exxon Mobil made the number one spot in the top most profitable companies in fortune 500? If inflation was the problem then this wouldn't be the case. What makes me mad is when people sit there and complain about things, but don't take an active role in trying to change it. Let's boycott the black gold distributors and then I bet you'll see the cost of gas start going down.
I didn't read your whole question, but I can say yes, people are stupid.
shutup, get a life.
Good job with the logic and the milk analogy. I agree with you on both points but here are those who are suffering because of high energy costs..
How about the rising cost of a cup of coffee, Starbucks and the like are raking in tons of money.
In 1967, I got a new Datsun. It held 10 gallons of gas. On the hwy it got 23 mi/gallon; range...230 miles. When the car was almost empty..like running on fumes, the cost of a fill up might have cost me as much as $3.00.
Now I'm tooling around in a 1995 Hyundai. The car gets 44mi/gallon hwy with a range of over 400 miles. (11 gallon tank). How much does it cost to fill it up at todays prices?
According to people in the know,there is no oil shortage,and oil doesn't come from dead dinosaurs. It is all politics and greed.

Get a life girl!!if you are so rich that you can't feel the pain of others,than you need to zip it ok??
It's always George W.'s Fault :)
You are right.
you're right about those who complain about oil prices. Gas is CHEAP. Some of the cheapest in the world. And- that's the problem- it's so cheap that all the alternatives are just a little more expensive. If gas were taxed more heavily (it's been at 18.5 cents/gallon for over 20 years) people would be motivated to use less of it... and auto companies would build the products that people wanted to buy.
With gas so cheap... of course we're all driving 300hp SUVs! that's only about $1500 per year on gas... less than we spend at Starbucks.
As for 80mpg cars only one year away... well- I haven't seen that yet.
Unfortunately, they are that stupid. Most people using cars today(in the U.S.) have grown up to believe they have a right to cheap gas, not even remotely understanding the price our country(and other countries) have to pay to make this so.
What cars make 80 mpg? We got better mileage out of cars back in the early 80's then we do today.
You have some nerve telling people to go out and get better jobs. They just aren't out there, spoiled much? Besides, wheres the question? Or were you just looking to insult?

Oil Prices causing war?
It seems like the higher oil prices go-the worse the fighting gets in the MIDDLE EAST. Are high oil prices accelerating middle east conflict? What will this lead to?Oil Prices causing war?
Actually, right now it's the war causing them to be high.Oil Prices causing war?
Its the other way around.
Unrest, uncertainty, crisis increase today's demand for commodities like oil because of the risk that tomorrow's production could be less (due to damage, or embargo, or retaliatory cuts in supply)... thus pushing up higher prices. Fear mongering and speculators drive the price yet higher.
I don't even want to think about it. Can't be good.
it is the american policy to blame or is it the paln of iraqi saddam to use euros as their monetary to deal inernational and to have dollars plummet to the ground
so wait, you think that oil prices are somehow affecting hezbhalla's decision to attack israel and israel's decision to retaliate and then hezbholla's re-retaliation and ...?
What? I don't see any connection. Neither hezbholla nor israel have control of large quantities of oil, nor are they major consumers (with respect to global economies) of oil.

What will be the economic impact !!! when oil prices climbs above 100 us a barrel?
economic; social consequences%26gt;and world pricesWhat will be the economic impact !!! when oil prices climbs above 100 us a barrel?
Oil drivers transportation and as of today, nothing can be teletransported. So, we are looking at everything going up in price. If the US government tries to bail out the American people, it will do so by printing more money.
This will exponentially increase prices as the inflation will be greater. People will stop buying goods because they are too expensive. Then, people who make these goods will lose their jobs. When people lose their jobs, productions will lower, and more people will lose their jobs.
People with high debt will divorce or commit suicide. We will forced take lower paying-jobs... So, the illegals we make fun of or hate so much will be there next to us working the same jobs.
We did it to ourselves. We lived frivolous lives, consuming foreign oil, and did not save. We are screwed. Oil will take us down.What will be the economic impact !!! when oil prices climbs above 100 us a barrel?
well, there are many things to consider.
first, 100$ will equate to about 60 euros and 50 pounds, so in relative terms and looking at the intrinsic value, the oil price isnt that high.
the most worrying thing at the moment is not a barrel at 100$, but a euro at 1.6 dollar or a pound at over 2.5 dollars. this shakes badly the world economic balance and will cause some serious imbalance in the world economy.
Virtually none. When it approaches $300/barrel then we're in trouble.
The Rich will get Richer.
Its possible it may send us into a recession. We have not gone into recession yet because the low interest rates %26amp; low taxes has kept our economy very good by encouraging consumer spending. Consumer spending prevents recession. So far we have avoided it.
It may also force vehicles manufactures to produce more flex-fuel vehicles.
Funding for Islamo-terrorists will increase as will the power of dictatorial mid east despots...

Oil prices fall in Asian trading?
(KiplingerForecasts, Jul 24, 2006) Crude oil prices dropped Monday after the Saudi oil minister said OPEC wanted to avoid fluctuating prices and as U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice traveled to the Mideast to try to find a diplomatic solution to the violence in Lebanon and Israel.
Light, sweet crude for September delivery was down 22 cents to US$74.21 a barrel in midafternoon Asian electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
September Brent on London's ICE Futures exchange lost 20 cents to US$73.55 per barrel.
On Sunday, Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ali Naimi said the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries wanted to avoid ';raising prices in a way that might affect the global economy,'; said.
';OPEC is concerned about the stability in the international market,'; he said after meeting his Nigerian counterpart Edmund Daukoru, who is also president of the 11-member OPEC.
http://www.zoomchina.com.cn/index.php?/content/view/9964/1/Oil prices fall in Asian trading?
As mentioned in Qur'an, oil is consider as a 'black gold'. If we think deep, inhales, shut off our eyes for a minute, can we imagine what's life without it? All nation is now fighting among themselves to conquer oil. Just look at Iraq, look how they've been now, look who attacked them, what their hidden agenda? And how America influenced oil price in market. Think how it affecting our lives.
Think Power. Think Money. Think Oil.

Is the world spiraling out of control? Oil prices, Weather, Wars...ect!?
Look...It's bad out there. Nobody argues with that. But there is always going to be hardship in the world. Just keep in mind that the media, while normally very adept at what they do and in my opinion is vital to a free society, can sometimes feed off of paranoia, because fear sells. Take it all with a grain of salt, don't be afraid, and boldly try to change the world for the better by doing whatever you can. That's my advice anyways.Is the world spiraling out of control? Oil prices, Weather, Wars...ect!?
Quick recap of history. Bad, 1929-43. Good 1944-66, Bad 1967-81, Good 1982-99, Bad 2000-........These historic cycles last anywhere from 14-20+ years, so far. My parents never stopped talking about the Great Depression. Wehaven't yet seen the worst this cycle has to offer. Within every bad cycle, there have been four key years. 29,33,39,41; 68,73,74,79; so far, 2001. My guess is 2009 is the next key year, and you already know what they're saying about 2012_(altho, I don't buy it).Is the world spiraling out of control? Oil prices, Weather, Wars...ect!?
the problem governments have one thing in mind which appears to be take as much money and power as you can and sod the little people, cos lets be honest people will complain amongst themselves but when it comes to making a stand their are seldom few who will gather as a group to fight a cause yet they then moan that nobody did anything. At the end of the day it will sort itself out either by people sticking together or us becoming extinct.
There were many on here a few months ago that said global warming and Al Gore were rubbish and yet scientists are now saying that there may be no ice at the North Pole as early as this September. Now who was right.? Oil prices and wars are man made and now it seems more likely that the weather is also.
yeah, i think we have the countries that started this witch hunt in the middle east, like England, USA the list goes on. its funny before the war gas was 1.20 there were no food shortages, no recession , and we weren't living in fear of their being a possible draft
No , it is not out of control..
God is sending a message to the whole world, that the time is short and we need to repent before it is too late..
If you don't believe in God then yes for you it is out of control..
No. The world is fine. Only the chicken littles of the world are spiraling out of control. The rest of us are just fine.
Definately, but thats life for you. Things are always changing, just not for the better at times
The world has always been like this.
War, death, famine, plagues...
I'd say!

the problem governments have one thing in mind which appears to be take as much money and power as you can and sod the little people, cos lets be honest people will complain amongst themselves but when it comes to making a stand their are seldom few who will gather as a group to fight a cause yet they then moan that nobody did anything. At the end of the day it will sort itself out either by people sticking together or us becoming extinct.
There were many on here a few months ago that said global warming and Al Gore were rubbish and yet scientists are now saying that there may be no ice at the North Pole as early as this September. Now who was right.? Oil prices and wars are man made and now it seems more likely that the weather is also.
yeah, i think we have the countries that started this witch hunt in the middle east, like England, USA the list goes on. its funny before the war gas was 1.20 there were no food shortages, no recession , and we weren't living in fear of their being a possible draft
No , it is not out of control..
God is sending a message to the whole world, that the time is short and we need to repent before it is too late..
If you don't believe in God then yes for you it is out of control..
No. The world is fine. Only the chicken littles of the world are spiraling out of control. The rest of us are just fine.
Definately, but thats life for you. Things are always changing, just not for the better at times
The world has always been like this.
War, death, famine, plagues...
I'd say!
Oil prices am I stupid but..?
I just heard the price of oil shot up because of this bailout thing. Im thinking they will raise prices for any reason. I mean I get it when a hurricane is offshore and there would be worries there. And Middle East troubles could cause problems. But how does me not able to pay my mortgage effect oil?Oil prices am I stupid but..?
The oil price can be affected by markets, and markets are influenced by world events. If Iran and its neighbors aren't getting along, people get nervous about what will happen next. Will there be embargos? Armed conflict? That starts the speculation going.
I have a feeling today's jump was just nerves. If this economic bailout gets passed, things will calm down and the price of oil return to ';normal'; levels. Oil prices am I stupid but..?
to help collapse the Greenback.
