Unbelievable

We've all been hurt buy the rising cost of gasoline. Gas prices are so high that gas stations have had to adjust the numbers on their signs by hand, never expecting they'd be selling gas for $4 or more per gallon!! We were driving around my husband's hometown this past weekend when we spotted this sign. I just had to take a picture. I just can't believe that we are paying this much for gas! It's crazy!! Somebody please tell me where I can buy an electric car! I really hope we get out of this mess soon.

Is is just stupid the amount a gallon of gas is costing! I hope that the oil companies are enjoying their $7 billion profit from the first quarter!

That cracks me up. What will they do when it hits $5.00, repaint it?? If you want to bike with the kids and I this summer let me know, we are going to avoid driving at all costs : )

All I have to say is that it is pretty amazing that a company like albertsons can't buy new numbers instead of spray painting it and making it look ghetto.

I don't see how this fiasco is going to end any time soon. It's really hard living so far away from home, knowing that air prices are up so high, and gas prices,too. I feel stuck sometimes! I find myself staying home a lot more, and just going around my neighborhood rather than exploring like I like to do.

That is so crazy! I was reading today that when gas goes up 1.00 a gallon it costs the airline industry 12,000,000 more per month to fly their planes. No wonder airlines are going under! I wonder how much it will cost us to drive to Utah this summer. SCARY!

I remember watching CNN one day and they said that Exxon Mobil makes like 1,563$ a seconed or some crazy insane number like that. I wonder if George Bush even cares.....

The gas prices are making me wish I could sell my Expedition and buy an economical hybrid car but who in the world would buy a huge gas gustling SUV right now? UGH! I'm stuck :(

Hello guys, I am from Siberia, Russia. Gas here costs the same, but first of it is really crappy quality and second we make 4 times less money in a month than a regul,ar American makes. So, stop complaining and enjoy your life in the States!
