Live in a gated community with an ARM you cant afford, drive a car on a 7 year payment plan, are fat and havent walked to a store in years......and bitch about an extra buck a gallon of gas, while spending 7 bucks on some ignorant starbucks extra latte?

Is that gonna change your life? A buck a gallon on gas? Are you that close to the precipice of bankruptcy?

I walk multiple miles daily. I do live in a gated community. In one of my cars is paid off and the other one was on a five-year plan with a couple years left.

With all that said the gas prices suck

life is good, who gives a poop, I can absorb the extra gas cost by simply eliminating one doctor visit.

Uh, most people are that tight on money, plus gas/oil touches everything, and I mean everything, from roads to drive on, to the tires and plastics that we use, as well as the transportation of every product bought and sold, as well as the fertilizer that grows everything we eat and the feed that grows our animals; everything. I’m ok with the higher prices, but most are struggling

That's not who high gas prices hurt, and even if it does your hypothetical fatass only has themselves to blame

Who it really hurts is the diesel engine mechanic in Gadsen, AL who has 2 kids and a wife who works part time at the Dollar Store. They live in a single wide trailer to make ends meet. Almost every single aspect of their life is more expensive than it was a year ago, and their small safety net is shrinking. They don't give a shite about markets they aren't invested in, they are just trying to get from paycheck to paycheck.

People bitching about gas prices are like kids bitching halfway on the trip to Disney because they aren’t there yet.

What a stupid frickin argument, btw gas prices effect the poor, rich, healthy and unhealthy, doesnt matter. I for one am not defending high gas prices dick - I like my gas around 2.20 or lower!

I’m old enough to remember when the world was going to end due to high egg prices

People bitch about gas prices when we are almost $3 lower on avg at our high than most countries in the world. Yes most of those countries have public transportation but our country is one of the cheapest in the world and people chose to live outside their means. Those who drive a lot either make that decision, get comped or have it provided. If gas was $10 a gallon I’d be worried like no other.

Just like a poster earlier complaining about gas then acknowledged he fills with premium. GTFO. That tells me that person has a car they can’t afford.

Oil prices affect the price of pretty much everything, not just the amount of money it takes to fill up your gas tank. Your perspective and thinking here is small and simple. The topic you are speaking on is not.

Gas prices may by high temporarily but if there is a chance to conclude Iran’s stranglehold then press hard then harder

I can't walk to the store because the closest one is 18 miles away. Gas prices are not a big problem since my car gets 30 mph, wife's car gets 33 mph. I think it would bother me if we took long car trips like summer vacation to Florida. But we quit doing that 30 years ago because the dogs don't like their routine upset.

If Biden would have gotten this going ( hold on till I finish busting a gut) and gas was this high not one of these mealy mouth people would be whining about. Nobody likes spending money on higher prices but some see forest through trees, some never saw a forest

Same people bitching here would be complaining when Iran dropped a nuke and started another world war. Why didnt Trump do something, how short sighted.

Im not for the endless wars but Iran had to be stopped, full stop. And people complaining about gas prices are just spoiled Americans.

Biden was an absent president who sold off our supply at the lowest he could. It’s a completely different situation. The fed tax rate is pretty low it’s like .17 a gallon. Most states are double that in addition and none have suspended them but it’s trumps fault. Just like most gas stations only make about .03-.05 cents per gallon.
