Good lord, you'd think they would be nicer.

I think we should somehow form a protest to the gas prices.

Yeah, isn't gas like 3 dollars now??? Crazy.

Oh and my school tried the protest thingy, I didn't do it, but a lot of students and teachers walked to school with signs and stuff. I think that was just last year. My friend got in the paper

I don't remember if it did much tho. :?

It's 1.69 in Kentucky.

I have a feeling it isn't high prices from OPEC as much as it is a weak American Dollar.

Would someone who actually has a clue about economics (not me!) please chime in?

Laura · « **Reply #5 on:** March 07, 2004, 02:06:55 pm »

Well I am in Economics right now (my Senior year in highschool) but umm I don't have any idea about Economics, even tho I have an A I just dunno how I have an A. Sorry lol

So glad I don't live in Cali

When I went to LA last week I filled up there and it cost me $34. I could have flown one way for $39. But the whole rent the car thing etc. not sure which is actually cheaper. But the price has gone down a little. Thank goodness.

Here I think it's about $2.19

It has been an adjustment to get used to these outrageous prices in general compared to the South. But I am still glad to be here.

Gas prices go up when supply < demand...

Stop driving you fuckers! :-P

yea, but everyone needs gas (unless you don't drive)...So they could probably put what price they want and it not have to depend on supply and demand...

Though it could, but I doubt it.

Last time I looked I think we were around $1.40

There are laws against that happening.
