All the whining about gas prices is making me crazy and the last thread deteriorated into political bashing from both sides that has nothing to do with a car forum No, I don't like paying $2.60 for premium (Colorado) but if you figure a 12 oz cup of Starbucks here is $2.59 that comes to $27.62 a gallon. That same $27.62 gets me 10.6 gallons of gas to get me where I need to go and have a hell of a lot of fun getting there in my S2K. Lets start protesting about the price of coffee.

 

Not worth my time since I don't drink coffee. How about a 4000% tax on coffee to subsidize the cost of gas instead? That would fit my needs just fine.

How about we start taxing cars by engine displacement (as in many other countries) instead, and let the SUV/big car drivers subsdize gas for the rest of us? Lol...

Anyhow, it is unfortunate that any debate on the environment, energy, economics, education, and pretty much most other things turn into political bashing these days. But we must examine why is the country so polarized? Well, I think I know who to blame...

But I do agree that we should really try to move this to some kind of a off-topic forum. Let's be chatting about the S2000 instead.

 

Yes, that's a totally valid comparison. What's more, gold costs $448 per Troy oz. Based on my calculations, there's 2348.88 Troy ounces in a gallon of gold, for a price of $1,052,299.87! So until gas reaches at least the price of a million dollars per gallon, I don't think anybody has any right to complain.

 

Yeah, but gold looks much better on teeth than coffee stains OR gasoline. Well, I don't actually know what gasoline looks like on teeth, but probably not as good as gold.

 

I'm sorry, but these are not good comparisons at all; I find no merit in any of these ways to justify the gas prices. Its humorously illogical.

 

pee is worth 0 cents a gallon

 

Not if you're on fire!!!
