Hard times coming ahead, lets just hope the economy can support it, and that gas doesnt go up to 10 bucks a gallon.

That's why I'm glad I'm going to burn corn. (e85)

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

thats about the dumbest responce you could have.

E85 prices go up the same as gas prices, and you will burn more E85. So it will end up costing about the same as regual gas.

First off, if you're going to call someone dumb, it would be a good idea to use correct grammar and spelling so as not to come off looking like an idiot yourself.

Perhaps he was looking beyond the the fact that there's little to no cost savings instead focusing on the benefits of a high octane, cleaner burning fuel that originates here in the good old U.S. and A. instead of some fucking sandbox in the middle east. Eh?

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

i never called anyone dumb, just his statement.

If your going to critique spelling and grammer, perhaps you should start with your own.

How about you dummys knock it off, kiss and make up.

Im gonna open up a can of worms.
How do we fix it? (energy dependancy)
I vote hydrogen.

Invade Canada & Mexico.

Hey Viscious, can I be Dumberer instead?

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

these dam high oil prices are getting everyone on edge:lol:

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

you need oil to power tanks and airplanes! :D

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

Notice how the oil prices are high, but the gas prices haven't gone up a lot? Totally different markets, they are somewhat related, but not directly. Typical Tom/liberal to try and blow things way out of proportion and yell THE SKY IS FALLING!!!

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

The dollar is tanking which doesn't help. Now some bitch supermodel won't accept payment in US dollars. Fine, then don't work here!

Oil is turning into the new world currency.

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

Exactly. And there's plenty of it in Canada & Mexico.

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

it takes oil prices to double 3-4 times to absolutly murder an entire economy. If it gets up to $200-300 per barrel economies will break.
Gas prices are not the only thing effected, there is the price of plastics (also oil based) and much more then just that. http://www.lmoga.com/refoutput.htm

Let us refer to Tom as Chicken Little from now on.

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

Sounds good, handled it. :nod:

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

Hmm, interesting. I heard about this, but wasn't it just 97 dollars yesterday, not 100? But that's semantics. I really hope the price goes to 200/barrell. Then it will be as Adam Corolla and Reid G. hoped: Driving will be for elites and cars will become awesomer.

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

I'd really rather that we went about it another way than that. Like real driving tests and you have to know a bit of english (enough to atleast understand a cop). Also there should be classes of cars with different speed limits, or no limits at all. Stop lights should be turned into Go lights and auto makers should be taxed for making the junk they do. But none of this has much to do with oil prices. Oh well. I really miss the prices of 1999 or so. I used to drive a 1978 Cadillac everywhere and never even think about gas prices. In truth, it was cheaper than driving my Saturn is now, per mile.

The days of filling up on 92oct for $1.50 a gallon were nice.

Water car FTW.

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

on a movie theater preview the other day, they had a commercial for a honda that put out water vapor. Hydrogen is coming!

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

Yup, I saw that too.

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

I've seen these commercials from a few companies, saying something like "when the world is ready". Wonder how long it'll be before you can actually buy them, another 10 years?

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

Smokey Yunick had a water vapor motor in the 60's but the big 3 made sure it wouldn't see the light of day in a production vehicle.

If companies wanted something besides petrol burning cars to sell they would already be making them.

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

Wow, it's two weeks later and the sky hasn't fallen yet. And to think gas prices have actually gone down since last week. Chicken Little must get all his world news and politics from MTV.

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

Our country is fucked up and everyone is so concerned about their own well being that no one will do anything.
Diplomacy work sometimes. But our leaders don't care.

We concentrate so much on individual issues that we don't look at the big picture and realize how fucked up this country is. Exactly what our media and government aim for.

You could argue all you want that the media is for the people, and so is the government. But I'll just call you an idiot.

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."
Honestly, it's true.

Let's start a riot

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

agreed 110%...alot of people dont know how to "fight" the government though...

He lives in Cali. That's all that needs to be said.

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

so true.

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

Holy crap! I didn't think anyone here would know about the subject. Smokey also had a pair of 3 cyl. reverse turbo engines. They were good for 45mpg and made 300hp. I might be off with that mileage but I know they were 300hp. There were also evaporative carbs that can make a full size Cadillac get 75mpg. The evaporative carb had been in use since the 1920s. Every time someone goes to patent something on the subject, Exxon or one of the others buys it and locks it away.

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

Is that the guy that made the Fiero that used exhaust gas to warm up the fuel before going into the carbs? I heard that thing got 50-60 mpg too.

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

Uh oh, now we are going to see a jump in oil prices!! The pipeline coming from Canada just burst into flames and will likely be down at least 3 days. It brings in 20% of the crude to the US and basically all of it to the midwest. It blew in clearwater county MN. Go fill up your cars quick before the prices jump!

Re: Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel
 

Yeah, but there's no great demand right now and worldwide oil prices have been dropping significantly. I can't see that this will make much of a dent.
