and i can already sense swajames rolling eyes for me quoting amirza's post. the reason is many of amirza's posts are only about politics and rants about the war, etc. sure one of the war's impact are increased gas prices, but clublexus is not a place to debate the war. plenty of other places (reddit, x, etc.) to do that.

Ok my gas was $3.60/g 2 months ago, how much was that in 2008 money, $2.35/g? Why not go farther back, say...200 B.C. when its equivalent to 3 virgins maidens and a goat?

I said a million times I wasn't defending these high prices and that they suck. I own gas guzzlers. A romp or two in the MB or LX or GMC will move the gas gauge lol.

That's just ridiculous -- Why you gettin' all bent out of shape?
I agree with AJT123 and everyone else that's stated that we haven't hit any new high. It feels just as high back then, as it does now. All those people complaining around 2022-ish about how high the gas prices were getting are all of a sudden silent as they pay those same gas/diesel prices now.
Until it hits $8-$10 a gallon, it's still been there, done that. We still have it much cheaper than Europe.

it is extremely difficult to have any sort discussion on the topic of gas or oil without some sort of political angle. Pretty much everyone agrees that politics is embedded in gas policy.
if one goes back to the very original post in this thread, there was a hidden political message written in the original post
Spoiler
anyways deleting and moderating 40 messages is a lot of work, my heart goes out to mods for doing all the great work they do

Christ, I was just saying I read it's that much there. I've never even heard of gas that expensive, anywhere.
