AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Original post by jonsgirl04

I CANT TAKE THE GAS PRICES ANYMORE!! I just put another $51.00 in my small little mazda 3!! for the second time this week! I spend over $100.00 a week in gas. Its really taking such a toll on me. WHen i put gas in my car I get so depressed. I really dont know how to do it anymore?? I cut corners as much as i can, but it just keep getting worse. Its even hard to food shop, cause that has gone up also. Sorry I just needed to vent ! How much does it cost you in gas a month???

My total this month = $450.00

I wonder how high the gas prices will get before people really start to think before they drive somewhere? SUV sales are down but I also wonder when people will stop buying SUV's....just look at people in europe they wouldn't even think about it with their smart cars....The gas prices depress me immensley....Like someone said it's everything...food, gas clothes....when will it give????



If people can affford to put gas in the SUV, then what is the problem with owning one? I own one, I put gas in it, I feel SAFE in it. I dont drive often so I dont see a problem with owning one. We went from 2 SUV's to 1 SUV and 1 Car to be economical for raod trips. But I dont see why people have it out for those that own SUV's.



I don't have it out for people who own SUV's...I just think if you own one then you can't complain about gas...my dad owns one and i tell him this all the time.....I think in this country people think bigger is always better and in the end it's going to hurt the environment and economy.



I was not complaining about the price of gas, as it doesnt really affect me because I take the train into the city everyday and only drive 5 minutes a day. I just think that people need to get off their soap box and stop blaming the SUV owners, etc. How abotu w blame our stupid @ss president for the trouble we are in.....



If people with cars can complain about gas, why can't we SUV owners. I've had my SUV for a few years, if I can't afford gas, how am I supossed to afford buying a car??! How can gas prices be the fault of SUV owners? It's this horrible economy!

I have an SUV and I complain about gas prices. The prices went up for everyone, regardless of what kind of car you drive. Everyone is still paying a he!! of a lot more than they used to...

I agree. I think people just like to give SUV owners a bad rep!

I agree!! What does an SUV have to do with gas prices I bought mine before gas prices went up. It effects everyone not only people who own cars cause if your putting an extra $20 in so are we so it still goes up for us and if we have a budget just like most people it affects us the same way it does to you!!

Re: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

When I bought my SUV 4 years ago gas prices weren't the same. I would try to get a car if I could afford it but I owe too much. I will stop driving it if you can get me into a 4 cycl that I can afford w/o losing my money on the truck. I bought a second car when prices went up a few years ago, but it has just died. Do you think minivans should be banned? Had my cousin not been in her SUV when a volvo hit here 2 weeks ago and caused her to flip and skid a 1000 feet on the roof, she would have not walked away. Cars bend in accidents, SUV can save lives. I bought my SUV when I lived 40 miles each way to work and work in a hospital that doesn't close due to snowstorms. There are no snow days! I needed 4 wheel drive where I lived and worked. How could you blame SUV drivers for the high prices? That is pure stupidity. Even someone who owns a 4 cyc can use more gas than an SUV owner. You may use less gas per tank, but what if you drive more and fill up more often? There are some good reasons people own SUVs, you should not classify them together. I own a smaller SUV. Everyone is suffering with higher gas prices.

It s u c k s, but what can we do? We need to get around and now transportation prices will go up too, as did the price of airfare AND cruises (you now pay a fuel charge)....we'll all continue to pay like we always have and as groceries go up, clothes go up and restaurants hike up their prices, we will still go. I think that we feel it a lot because this is such a rapid increase that WE can actually feel. I wish I could make my own gas and oil lol Who wants to try with me?
