Are You Tired of hearing About Gas Prices Yet?

I am about to put my car on Craigslist. Please take my car for free, you will save me money if I get one of those electric pedal bike things. Not sure, how I will get groceries. My sister does the major hauling on getting groceries, so its still probably smart to have one car around. I think I might put a pink basket on the bike just you know, ladies will find me somewhat cool. Ah who cares about ladies. Those days are done. We in for survival of the fittest, are you ready for this madness?. What a stupid way to run the world, and live your life. You all would be so much more free if you stopped listening to these greedy ass corporate or government leaders. 6.25 on average here. Many so called premium places going 6.75 for debit and credit, but if you pay cash 6.50. Shows you one thing, cash is still King. It also shows you every time you you use your debit card or credit card. Things become more expensive. No its, free, no , its never been free. All those machines and computers to keep track cost money and man hours to keep track of what people paid and what people owe.

It is also happening out here. We cannot control the spiking of gas prices.

Yeah its everywhere, California just pays a touch more in the states at least but it hurts the regular people so bad and I am pretty sure that goes for the world too.

It’s hard. A constant worry as well, and to be honest most of us don’t need another worry. With the crazy amounts spent for gas, I am trying to be more frugal than ever about where I go and the path I take. I tie my son’s appointments in with other errands. That helps a lot. If everything else wasn’t constantly going up and up in price it would help. But it’s not just gas. It’s groceries,utilities, services, everything. It’s very concerning. All we can do is our best, tighten the belts as they say and keep on trying!

You know why, every thing is tied to gas, but there is also a lot of greed as always but even if you the most honorable store owner owner or goods seller, you have to raise the prices because how they get their goods shipped to them is based on the cost of gas. You are right, if we doing things right, gas should be the least of your problems.

@crossbones27 People do not always seem to understand that everything we consume must be transported in one way or another, and that cost has shot way up now. The cost of surviving is tied in with transportation in a big way. Like I said, all I can do right now is the best I can. Hang in there, OK? Just don't ever give up or stop trying.

I am tired of gas prices going up. All we can do is drive less and go to more than one place at a time.

That may be true, seemed like what people here were doing. Freaking madness. I get its Friday and people get paid, the roads were more crowded than usual, but people were also driving so crazy like I have 10 more things to do so I can conserve fuel. I do not get scared often but was like I need to get home, these people going to kill me.

My car is about the size of a go-kart. It requires premium or supreme or whatever the highest octane of gas is available. At totally empty it takes 10 gallons so I never really think about what it costs to fill it up. I had to do that a couple of days ago--$45. It didn't break the bank but I still was surprised at how much it was.

Honestly the bike idea is smart, gas prices are getting out of hand anyway. You right about cash still being king, cards just quietly rack up fees everywhere. Good luck with the Craigslist post, hope somebody snaps that car up fast.

The car thing is just jester, but I am close. This is no way for anyone to live. Why California has become so populated. All people wanted was a better way to live. Sure the scenery helped but how people made them feel so free and happy is why they stayed.
