Closing Bell: Gassing it Up in Brooklyn
It’s practically free! Go out and drive around in circles! The NY Daily News reported today that the cheapest gas in the city is right here in the borough of Kings. “Brooklyn had the lowest gas prices in the city for 17 out of the 30 days from mid-October to mid-November, even though the average…
It’s practically free! Go out and drive around in circles! The NY Daily News reported today that the cheapest gas in the city is right here in the borough of Kings. “Brooklyn had the lowest gas prices in the city for 17 out of the 30 days from mid-October to mid-November, even though the average prices from Aug. 18 to Nov. 18 were the same in Brooklyn and Queens: $3.38 per gallon,” they write. Last week, you could catch a gallon for $2.19 in Williamsburg.

I know, I meant “the unfortunate reality” and “Let’s face it”…
“Do you own a car?
Or are you just really rich and don’t care?”
I care a lot. But I care about future generations and how they will survive more than I care about some tool in a Hummer driving two blocks to pick up a pack of cigarettes.
“Or do you love supporting the lifestyle Oil Barons?”
No, I prefer people buy less gas and we eventually become dependent on alternative energy sources. I don’t usually drive, so you’re likely forking over a lot more money to the oil barons than I am. But that statement really makes no sense. That’s like me asking you if you prefer low gas prices and increased oil consumption and damaging the environment and running out of fossil fuels so the youth of today have to deal with the problems we caused.
BRG, the unfortunate the reality is most people don’t think about the issue until the price of gas becomes unaffordable and it directly hits them in their pocketbook. Let’s fact is; most people are incredibly shortsighted and sweep issues under the carpet until they’re forced to deal with it. The amount of personal / credit card debt Americans have is insane. People don’t worry about the long term as long as they can afford what they want today.
“I actually prefer high gas prices.”

Biff, the price of gas, should not be the indication that as a society we need to find alternative energy sources.
I actually prefer high gas prices. It cuts down on emissions and is the only way we’ll draw attention to the fact we’ve passed peak oil and desperately need to find more sustainable, environmentally friendly alternative energy sources.
I know it was her beige cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money on a saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do there in back of your beige cadillac
It was that flashy Cadillac BRG.
Sorry, meant to say.
I paid 1.75 in Jersey over the weekend.
Road trip on the horizon for me…Woohoo…good times!!
But according to benno, sounds like I got ripped off.
