Floored.
Well, at least I am when I saw the prices today. The price of gas was ONLY 3.69! Luckily my best buddy tipped me off and I got a fill up of that 3.69 of gas. Now all I have to do is take a deep breath and only go to school and home and NO where else! Yea!
Not really. I am blessed to live only 6 minutes away from school (and job if they finally give me work). But I also have to go to church, into town and holy crap if I actually need to go to Nashville.
And I feel really bad for you guys who have to drive SO far just to get to work and really bad for you that live so far from school. I hope you can stand against the tide just as Texas refineries are with Ike blowing in.
This is ridiculous! Seriously! The price of the oil barrels have hit a all time low at 100 bucks a barrel! Why then is the gas spiked to 5 bucks at places?!
Well, refineries are required to process that oil right? Get this, 1/4 of ALL the processed gas/oil comes from the Gulf Shore refineries in Texas. 1/4!! Thats insane! And when one storm blows in (yeah its a big one, but we get hurricanes all the time now) it stops these from producing! So now we will be running on 3/4 the amount of gas we normally run on for a few weeks.
Sad.
Thats how I feel about the whole situation. This is pathetic, how will America get free from foreign oil when we can`t even take a impact from one hurricane and it takes out 1/4 of our gas.
Whert.
Thats what I say to the oil/gas companies hitting it big with all this. Getting rich from us. And you know they are, look at their sales! Look at the huge impact its making on their incoming cash vs out-going costs. This is wrong, plain and simple.
*sigh*
Thats what I`ll be doing for a few weeks I suppose. But, maybe with a new president coming in, things will finally change. Thats for another blog though, which will be coming soon.
But I know, no matter what, God is there. He`ll take care of us. And I hope gas goes down soon, maybe its just a scare so people will get a bunch of gas so that there will be a big flow of cash coming in for awhile. Who knows. All I know is that going anywhere I don`t need to is out for awhile.
Here is a video talking about the info I just gave.
I just hope we can get away from gas soon (we already have cars that do great without it. And we have cars that do SUPER on a little gas. Whert it all) Car companies are really about to get it bad, I am guessing some won`t last through the next three months. Its over cause they just didn`t go with the flow. Better gas mileage NOT "bigger is better".
Good luck and God Bless you all!
