Oil Prices Jump from 50 to $100 / barrel

WTF!?!?!?!?

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

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?

i never called anyone dumb, just his statement.

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

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!!!

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

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

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.

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.
