Compared to the rest of the world it is. Call me when you pay $6 a gallon, and I'll be more inclined to think the sky is falling. ETA: BTW, you completely and totally ruined my cheap shot. Thanks a lot buddy. |

If you understood why the rest of the world pays that, I would discuss it with you. Since you dont, keep up the assinine statements. *EDIT* No problem.

Looking at near record highs for crude prices, and gas prices (in my area) at almost all time highs as well. Now maybe you guys are some serious high rollers, but I cant remember paying less then a buck for a gallon of gas. I can remember (not too long ago) paying 1.75. Its 2.30 now. I cant remember many times paying much more then that. But hey, if record prices for crude/gas/LP and rising prices all across the board due to energy costs is "still cheap" then more power to you. |

Exactly. Oil futures maybe a good investment. Iran makes 10% of the oil production in the world. If Saudi Arabia and the other OPEC and other oil producers dont make up the shortfall, the price will go through the roof. |

Closer to 7% I think, and less then that if you look at just exports. Either way, oil futures are still a good investment for those willing to brave the futures water. |

A 30-06 round is considerably longer than a 7.62x39 round
Yep, about 24 mm longer. B_S |

Well, I can remember 32 cents a gallon. I have paid as little as 70 cents and I started driving in 1977. Now if you want to compare the prices now vs then taking into account overall inflation, median income, and cost of living, and consider that taxes are a large part of why gas is expensive, $2.30 is only slightly higher now than 70 cents was in 1977. It's really close to being equal. Education is a wonderful thing.

Same here. But that was after having paid as much as $1.45 only a few short years before that. In `98, crude was around $15 a barrel IIRC. ETA: for thread content - 20mm is a considerably longer round than .22 LR.

Yes, but budgets arent set by prices of inflation. You dont put off buying a house now because in 10 years it would be worth more and thus have more property taxes. Same with buying a car. I dont choose to not buy an SUV now because in 5 years gas prices MIGHT be 5 a gallon. And on top of all of that, to simply use gas prices as an indicator is very short sighted. Crude prices affect virtually every faucet of our lives, from heating our homes to filling our cars to putting food on the table to making the things we buy. |

Always got to love an 10MPG SUV owner complaining about gas / oil prices. As for the oil prices... oh what's the use, the Big Oil apologists will never see reason. Probably because they are the ones artificially pushing the prices up on the futures market. |

The fact is that all through the 1980's and most of the 1990's, gas prices were artificially low. That's how they managed to raise the taxes so high without anyone really complaining about it. I'm not saying they held prices down to do that ("they" can't do that), just that they raised taxes while they could. You're looking at gas prices vs a few years ago. Since fuel (oil, gas, LPG, whatever) varies more in price than most other commodities, the only fair way to compare its impact is long term. ETA: You also have to consider the effect the enviro nazi's have had - like requiring scores of different formulations to be produced when perhaps a dozen or so formulations would suffice. I'd bet that has almost as much effect on the currently high gasoline prices at the pump as the high cost of crude does. |

In Metric: 30-06 = 7.62x63mm
.308 = 7.62x51mm Considerably larger than 7.62x39mm or 5.56 NATO |
