8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - Exxon Gas Boycott

Well, it is the end of July and Exxon is once again listing Record Breaking Profits for the last quarter. If they keep it up they will have a profit of over $40 Billion dollars this year. Plus gas is well over 3 bucks a gallon now and keep on inching up. I am currently paying $3.31 for Premium at my local BP station and some are as high as $3.59. That $1.30 price per Gallon will never ever happen again or even $2.30 per Gallon. We are getting conditioned to accept the higher gas prices and before this year is up they will approach near $5.00 dollars a gallon. We are all complaining but we are pretty much on the mercy of greedy Oil Executives and the Government must be getting their kickbacks since they are not willing to step in and do anything about it. I guess we can look on the bright side. In Europe gas is over $6.00 a gallon and rising. Of course they do have a lot better public transportation and more fuel efficient cars. Here we all still drive HUGE Hummers and Suv's while in the meantime the Oil Companies are laughing at us.
