it just makes so much more sense then the old school empty and full ones....

hahah o man thats awesome

so sad, yet so so . . . (opens empty wallet and sobs) . . .

so true

I bet you all those dumbfucks who went out and bought SUV's b/c of the tax break didnt' see this one comming

think about it
5 years ago...gas price avg was 1.00/gallon
30 gallon tank was 30.00 to fill

last year we broke the 2.00 avg/gallon
30 x 2.00 = 60.00

now we're at 3.00/gallon
30 x 3.00 = 90.00

with an overall avg of 22 mpg thats $0.14/mile
where as less then half a decade ago it was only $0.05/mile

at this rate of increase in 10 years it will cost you approx $1.26/mile to drive anywhere

How far is it from your home to your work?...multiply that by 5 days in the week...then take a look at how much your paycheck is per week....is it still worth it to go to work?

EX: 26 miles to work
26 x 1.26 x 5 = 163.80

Did you remember round trip?

163.80 x 2 = 327.60

$423.80 just to go to and from work for one week

now lets work the other in of the equation
income inflation is .06% / year
minimum wage is $6.15 here in orlando

6.15 x 40 = 246.00
246.00 x 1.06 (repeted 10 times - for ten years) = $440.55

$440.55
-$327.60
-----------
$112.75 this will be your weekly takehome in ten years at minimum wage

PS: By the way...thats not including taxes and medical


Have a nice day!

Gonna start finding A LOT of people living near their work rather than the Chinese firedrills we have to travel all over to get to work now. Its re-goddamn-diculous. Believe me, I drove 30 miles to work everyday all summer and then drove sometimes another 80 miles at work and would get compensated for those miles. It's your choice now, Re-locate or Public Transits.

lol thats tight

its just yelling at us look....im greenvan and i have small penis

The rising gas prices are attritued to a few things. At the moment, it is Katrina causing the dramatic increase in cost. However, the main reason that the price of gas is steadily climbing is because of the new industry in India and China, causing them to have a need for oil, and thus because of increased demand, the price of oil keeps getting bid higher and higher.

Which is why Bush wants to share our nuclear technology with India.

Hopefully it'd lower their demand for oil by a shitload and in turn lower our cost.

F*CK that...nuke india and solve two problems at once

youve obviously never seen indian women before....

that was the second problem to solve
