A New Way to Guzzle Gas

hello, I'm military. do you think I live in a palace? i pay $8.00 a gallon for gas. I get paid in us dollars but have to by things in euro which by the way cuts my pay in half right there. I get the hurt. trust me. and I don't have to be rude to get my point across.
i worry every pay check how to buy gas which is why i make sure to educate myself on the alternatives, i write my congressman, I vote. i do my part.

So....according to you militarylife....what would be a good solution to the problem...you sure have a critique for any other comment...but what about a possible solution?...what would you do to minimize the impact of the situation?

I totally agree militarylife...however there are millions of people financially hurting right now.....

I think the way things are going with the fuel prices and the food prices we might end up haveing another great depression coming if it gets too much worse . people are going to get pissed off and start riots and picketing all sorts of things to make the government do something about it . and those stimulus payments we kinda good kinda bad because we basically spent the money on things we have had to hold off on cause all our money is being spent on the extra cost of fuel and food . most families that were just making ends meet are now facing things like loseing their homes which is why the real estate cost have been dropping so fast. the government better get of their high and mighty butts and do something before things get too bad and many americans will end up living in poverty. which will make the crime rate sky rocket and not just for stealing gas

a long term fix is admitting we need to change the demand for crude oil.
There are hundreds of different ways to produce energy that don't require more drill, more oil, more polution.
I'm not a liberal but I'm not stupid either.

leave alaska alone, go drill your ass for gas

You guys just don't get it... or rather, you believe the lies of the liberals! Go and check records to see who is behind the gas wars! Oh, and while you are at it, take a look at Clinton's coffers to do with Haliburton! Catch a brain and start thinking on your own! Like they say, if you repeat a lie enough times, they will believe it! Maybe it's time to "drill and vote".

A long term fix is relying on our own fuel supply rather than depending on foreign oil........

it looks like terrorists have infiltrated the stock market, posing as speculators, they were able to ruin the U.S. economy.. something they have always dreamed of.. and YES, it ABSOLUTELY WAS the speculators that did this.. NOTHING else...

Google John Kanzius, retired radio station owner and inventor

drilling in alaska is a short term solution to a very long term problem.
We got into this mess wanting the quick fix.
We can't keep thinking. Whats good right now...we have to start thinking for what will fix this for good. and drilling in alaska isn't going to do that.

the bottom line is: does the oil they drill rightfully belongs to them "oil companies", they are drilling it and processing it, but does that makes it theirs to profit, so that means I can pump saltwater from the ocean process it and turn it into fresh drinking water and sell it, well I think if you can't afford it and have a big ass suv or a soccermom vehicle just steal it what the hell they are making money anyway

There are a few of us who are still alive that remember the oil embargo that the major oil producers inflicted on the american public in the early 1970's. We didn't have a choice then and we don't have a choice now. We have to play the game by their rules because they have what we need and I have no doubt that they will take what they can as long as they have the present administration protection. This is a hard lesson in republican supply side economics. Control the supply and you can damn well charge what you want. I have no doubt that when it's all said and done, we will see an exposed collusion between the oil producing countries and the big oil companies. And when the stuff finally does hit the fan, those in power will take their mega-golden parachute retirements and hide out in their gated communities. Ed

Heck, I'm all for drilling in Alaska! I live in a town that is about 40 miles away from the city, so getting to Costco is costly....my sons extracurricular activities in the city are also becoming costly as well.....something needs to be done.

Yes, just recently a man who was trying to cure cancer by using radio waves ended up with an invention that turns saltwater into fuel...it is quite fascinating! However, he said he would sell it to, "whomever wants to buy it"....Hmmm who do you think that might be?

Geesh ,Everyone Google Water Fuel and watch the vidio then scroll down and look at kits for sale..I think everone will be dumbfounded..I'd heard about this for a couple of years.. Gas Stealing isn't new, My Dad who lived during the depression said it was quite common even then..How much Gas do you think you pay for on Goverment bases? Fuel the plane fill up a line of cars..Like I said..Nothing new under the sun..

"Truckers are increasingly falling prey to thieves targeting diesel, which has also reached stratospheric prices. "

You say, "stratospheric prices. ". You're just a bunch of spoiled cry babbies in the USA, we have been paying quadruple of your prices per gallon in Europe for Years!

Perhaps it is time you all ask "Why in heavens did we all vote for the catastrophic economic and war policies of George Bush?" And it would be a smart article to write next:

Why haven't impeached Gearge Bush and profitiering Vice President Dick Cheney yet"?

You know, the gag order by the Bush administration on the investigation on over 70 USA companies involved in the stealing of BILLIONS of dollars in Iraq and belonging to the US taxe payer! (Halliburton is one of the main ones, does Dick Cheney name, ring a bell?)
