I didn't intend to but I add something to that.
I'm from Germany and actually we pay about 1.36€ per litre.
Converted to $/gallon it is about 5.16$ per gallon.
And I don't enjoy paying that.

Bitching about three bucks per gallon just makes the ludicrously wealthy
nation and its citizens look piss poor. And cheap.
Actually it's called maximizing value received for value extended but if you
enjoy paying more for something than it's worth, you are free (I assume) to do
so. And please stop spamming the board. :)~

I completely fail to see what this has to do with either hlds or source.
Please stop spamming the list.
Also, I am looking forward to the day American gas prices hit a level
comparable to the rest of the world. Bitching about three bucks per
gallon just makes the ludicrously wealthy nation and its citizens look
piss poor. And cheap. And utterly incapable of buying proper cars that
don't use the three gallons on a single mile.
Cheers,

People will believe anything that's posted on MySpace or sent to them via

I posted a response to this once, but it's clearly a lost cause.
Oh, I have an idea. Lets not get gas on the 15th. That will show them.
Yeah, that's great. Brilliant idea there. Here's a concept: They (gas
companies) don't give a shit if you buy gas on the 15th or not. They know
that you will be driving your ass up to the gas station the following day
because you need a fill up after stretching it beyond the 15th. Therefore,
you've shifted demand from one day to the next. The only way to reduce gas
prices it to reduce gas usage. Avoiding a fill up one day a year does
nothing. I'd love to see them raise gas prices a dollar on the 16th just to
screw with all you people that didn't get gas on the 15th.

Yeah there are people that dumb unfortunately. Gas companies do not look
at
weekly or monthly reports much less daily reports. They are only worried
about quarterly reports. That would be every 3-4 months. But I don't think
if you needed gas to go get food or go to work you would last a day much
less 3-4 months. And that would also include not buying gas pre-hand so
you
could last, that would kind of destroy the point. Idiots..

This is so dumb. Do you honestly think that it makes a difference to
the oil companies which day they sell it on? We also regularly buy gas
once a week so what's the difference? I can't believe that there is
such naive people still around.
