Dr. Apex Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Since "speculation" is the bulk of our gas prices it will probably happen, by then I will own a vehicle only for the purposes must have situations, the rest of the time I will be on my Gary Fisher.

RangerTurbo Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Europe is paying the equivalent of $9.8X a gallon of fuel. Why does this really keep surprising anyone? Understandably they have a shit ton more taxes on their fuel than we do, but couple the speculation with inflation and $7/gal gas seems about right comparitevly.

2highpsi Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Market speculations are self-fulfilling prophecies. It will be whatever we believe it's worth. They keep feeding us that BS and people eat it up. Come to think of it, brb...... I'm gonna buy some Exxon Mobile stock, I smell more record profits.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Inflation, people, inflation. Just aggravated due to assholes and analysts. usually when inflation goes up, unemployment goes down. sadly such is not the case right now. edit: recession, folks, that's whats driving prices up.

dragknee66 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 At 7 a gallon you wont see many cop cars left on the road. Most depts are already speaking of major cut backs on patrol and cars out of service. Now think of this too.. at $7 a gallon people will have to cut corners too. Like INSURANCE. Thats the first thing they will cut back on because it obviously wont be FOOD. More uninsured motorists on the roads, more UNSAFE vehicles on the road too. These 1990s shitboxes will be ever so popular and still falling apart all over our city. Downfall of America at much over $5 a gallon, NOT a pretty future ahead of us.

Vander Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Didnt Bush pass a bill er sumpin sayin by the year 2010 that EVERY car had to be at least 30 miles to a gallon?? I think it was later then that. The years 2012 and 2020 are sticking in my head. One is that, and the other is another automotive law.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Uh, the economy has to actually stop growing, and recede in progress to have a recession. generally there's an inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment, both are rising right now, which is a sign of stagflation if my memory of 8am Econ 101 is anything close to accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
