I think there would be many many Americans hunting for your head. Especially the government. All that hard work in Iraq gone to waste, I'd be mad too.

Well that would be every single gas station then so why not say every gas station?

You'd be arrested before you managed your third. The first would catch local authorities off-guard. But once the second had exploded the authorities would drop 'coincidence' and 'accident' from their vocabulary in describing the events. The reason the third would not be a success is because the matter would be brought to the attention of the federal government in the form of the US Military's commitment to preventing domestic terrorism. Your state's gas stations would be crawling with local police, state police, and perhaps even State and National Guard troops.

You'd be tried and convicted and put away for the duration of your natural life. You'd face the death penalty depending on how many customers' lives were lost in the explosions.

But yea... I guess you're just making a point that gas prices are ridiculous. Though I counter: I've had my license to drive for 5 years now, and even when I first started driving gas prices were all over one dollar a gallon anyway. The lowest I ever saw them in my life was hovering around one dollar when I was very little.

It's not gas that's the main problem though, it's oil.

The oil business is a monopoly and they control all the prices.

Allow me to put this into another context: If I went around smashing power-stations, meaning there's less supply of electricity but equal if not higher demand of it, will the prices rise or fall? Go on, take a guess.

Well, I heard that theres a super amount of oil in America and that this guy is making cells that make pollution into oil or something. But then again, solar power.

A.) This most likely counts against you as planned, which is a crime.

B.) Doing so after this post would be ridiculously stupid and dangerous on your part.

C.) Prices would go up even more for your act.

[Smego]

Then you would have blown up every petrol station in Australia.

[Cthulhu1988]

I would throw a party in your honor.

Ok, I had to exit lurk mode to ask this question as I read this: what exactly was your logic behind this deduction? If they started losing money because you were blowing up gas stations, the prices would only go up because they'd be trying to make up their losses.

I am sick and fucking tired of Americans bitching and moaning about petrol prices

OH NOES ! GAS IZ GETTING OVE $2 A GALLONZ WEREA ALL GONNA DIEEEEE!!!!!

Do you have ANY idea how much petrol cost here in the UK? I've done all the maths for you so your poor little brain doesn't blow up on you. It workes out at about 8USD a gallon(US),

From a Brit's prospective, the people who complain about gas prices in the U.S. are like the celebrities who complain about taxes taking away they're already inflated income.

[agustana]

We'd have no more gas stations, resulting in all hybrid cards - Meaning we save the environment.

[CheeseManBlue]

by losing (from being blown up) sources of revenue (gas stations), gas companies would need to boost the price of gas in order to compensate for their loss of so many gas stations. you fail at logic. you fail at life. please die of dysentery.

[CheeseManBlue]

also, molton 44, you have horrific grammar and spelling. please die of typhoid.

a british-sounding alt account? either that, or you're an unbelievable stereotype who gives british people a bad name. FYI, america is a lot bigger, and things are more spread out than they are in britain. it costs money to drive. please die.

[piemold]

If, theoretically, you managed to pull it off, gas prices would go down. However, you would not get away with it, and therefore a minor scandal would sweep the nation, shifting opinions and setting into motion a minor trend that will not really affect anything in a terribly major way. There is, however, always the small chance that if will coincide with the perfect opportunity, and something amazing will happen.
Good luck with that!

and let me know how it goes.

Your damm right it costs money to drive, even back in the mid 90s we were paying 70P a LITIER for fuel while you were paying 70c a GALLON,

My point is that you have no right to complain, I would KILL to be able to pay the equivalent of $3 p/g

and fuel has gone up again, its now about $9p/g for regular unleaded

For fucks sake, stop whinging

[molton44]

by the end of the summer its supposed to be up to $5

1) Someone will make a post labeled "Someone blew up all the gas stations!"

2) Another person will make a post labeled "I blew up all the gas stations lulz"
