It could be worse, how is that different from pepsi and coke company when they started to charge 50 cent more for their 20 oz. bottles in the past year or so...
If you use public transportation and/or car pooling you will save more gas and won't need to refuel that often.
You can't just take this quarters profit and make up an argument...look at the whole picture, it took a long time and a $hitload of capital for the oil companies to get off the ground... they have to get that money back somehow
well why don't you just stop using exxon gas...switch over to shell or bp
here we go again -
a - i dont drink soda - it isnt healthy - I only drink water
b - i drive a civic - NUFF SAID -
FYI _ a train ticket on NJ transit from where I live to NYC is $274 per month and cab fare to the train station is $26 one way, or a 45 minute bike ride one way in the good weather, so thats $52 bucks a day X5 + 274 plus subway and or cab fare once you hit NY - d00d its too damn late for me to do all this math - not to mention work isnt the only place i go in this life- please think realistically and you will go a lot farther than to your local streetcorner for your coke fix and back -
c - i dont care how long it took them to make their profits, all i know is they make an assload of money and it comes from MY pocket and I need to get it back somehow
d - I only buy my gas from Sunoco
e - who supplies your coke?

that's a weak excuse...my point is everything jumped in price and gas is just one of them

so why is it on your mind that much...do you pay $30 extra everytime you pump??? No, you pay at best $12 extra...don't buy two packs of cigarretes or a round on drinks and the bar and you are even

blah blah blah is all I am starting to hear from you
look I am down to the point where i can only see my girlfriend of 2 and a half years on weekends this month because she lives 70 miles away i need new tires so thats 400 there and x-mas is coming up o and the other day my battery died twice so i may need a new one this month. but i dont blame oil. i blame me for actually talking to a girl who lives so far away. I blame me for not getting a job closer to home.
all you guys can say is "move closer to wear you work," "take public transportation," etc. i have not hear a valid point from any of you justifying the price gauging and ass raping we are receiving from the oil companies.
also-cocaine, pepsi and coke can charge as much as they want, we don't need it to live! another poor analogy...
you yourself don't need oil to live..having a car is a luxury not a necessity...how come you don't comment on my part where the oil and where the milk comes from and then post something meaningfull
you girlz keep trying to compare apples to oranges.. Pepsi, Coke, Milk and their prices mean nothing...
a car is not a luxury as much as you might think it is.. it may not be a giant nessecity, but mind you it is up there in todays standards.. and moving closer to where you work is not always an option in some areas and states... there is rural and then there is urban.. two different worlds, two different life styles. not everyone can afford to live where they want or better yet, work where they want.. some of us, do what is needed to get by. now the guy that holds down two jobs (Taco Bell & Mc Donalds) is more likley to live with next or very close to where he works as he is more day to day or month to month.. yet the guy that has an IT or even a school teaching job, is propably stuck where ever he is... as most adults will buy a house ASAP, to get out of the monthly lease BS and then, there is no moving closer to work b/c Exxon wants to raise their gas prices $1.50gal b/c of a natural disaster....
Mind you, I can understand the raising of prices to a point.. the Gulf of Mexico is a very important port area where tons of stuff gets imported through and the two hurricanes we had back to back did nothing to help the matter what so ever.
Bottom line... if you are going to complain and argue... keep on track and don't compare my need for a Dr. Pepper to your need for clean underpants; they are not the same thing.
if so, please sell it and car pool to all the places you need to get to on a daily basis and let me know how that works out for you
KTHX
in fact - that is such a great idea that you had Mr Cocaine Brain that I think EVERYONE should abandon their cars and carpool, no - wait - that would be impossible. If we all got rid of our cars, we as a society would shut down -
I say we go back to the horse and buggy days, this way we can scoop up our own horse shit rather that the e-shit that is spewing from your computer to mine

having a luxury car is a luxury - have a reliable method of transportation in todays world is a necessity - look around you - this is how we do!
the comment on the milk has been covered - it was a poor example and you got pwnt!
