How expensive is gas in your area?

Question

I live in the chicago area and its about 2.80 over here

Answer 1

Ha ha California...sucks to be you. $2.60 today but I think it was $2.50 yesterday? WTF?

If we're gonna spend a bunch of money in Iraq and get American killed over there "helping" them out, we should at least get some free oil out of this. Something...?

Why must you editorialize? Do you know what that means? Editorialize? It's when you inject your own opinion into an otherwise objective phrase. Like when weathermen say it's bad weather when it's raining, or beautiful when it's sunny. How do they know what kind of weather I consider bad? Beautiful? And why do they think the weather is bad just because it doesn't suit them? That's editorializing. I would much rather hear the weatherman say in an emotionless voice that it's 60 degrees and raining, then shut up. I can then make my own personal evaluation of the weather and like it or dislike it as I please, without being influenced by the personal opinion of the weatherman. If you truly want to be objective, and not foist on us your view of what is expensive and what isn't, here's what you should ask: "What does gasoline cost in your area?" Because frankly, $2.80 is below what I pay, and compared to what is paid in some countries, it is about half as much. Don't be so influenced by the media. They get folks to worrying about petty stuff in order to distract us from the important stuff. That's why car chases draw such a large audience and the networks will burn hundreds of gallons of jet fuel to follow one person on a 200 mile joyride through Los Angeles. Do your own research. Discover that the price of fuel has increased by a factor of six in thirty years. So have incomes, so have housing, cars, commodities, almost everything major that isn't subsidized by the government. People expect that stuff to go up. They invest in it praying that it will. My parents will have no trouble at all selling their house for over half a million dollars, even though they paid 20 grand for it. They won't give a second thought to the fact that they made a substantial profit at the expense of the new owner. But what do people complain the loudest about over a four dollar cup of coffee? Gasoline and postage stamps. If Chevron makes a profit, or Exxon, or Citgo, or Shell, or Arco, well by God let's get the government involved and tax the profit back from them. 35 cents to mail a letter? My God, that's 2 cents more than last year. With all the letters I mail, I will end up spending nearly 2 dollars more this year just on postage. Maybe I could drive that letter to Chicago myself. On second thought, it would cost me 600 dollars and a week off work if I drive straight through and sleep in the car. You could go back to 1965 and pay 25 cents for a gallon of fuel, but remember that you would have been making something like two or three dollars an hour. The point is, gasoline is expensive if you think it is expensive, but not if you think it isn't expensive. If you're told enough times by enough sources that it's expensive, you'll start to believe it even if you didn't believe it before.
