Petrol (Gasoline) Prices Around the World - Part Deux 2008

I'm thinking of getting a golf cart! I was impressed by those golf car communities (saw them in Peachtree City, GA) where the routes are built for them (bridges over highways etc). Now that's a great idea. I could get most places I need to go around my neighborhood in a golf cart. Just needs winter tires and a heater............

You can order them with a Heater, if you want. Most likely you could also purchase them with winter tires.

Can I order one that is street/highway legal?

You can get them with a heater, stereo, knobby tires, and a lift kit, if you like. Some of the industrial versions have cabs and a dump bed.

With an electric cart you just plug it in each night and drive right past the gas pump.

2 of the major manufacturers are right down the road from here in Augusta GA.

Yes most likely you can. Contact the Manufacturer in Georgia. They would even deliver it to you.

Let's see...Street Legal would mean Headlights, Turn Signals, Brake Lights, windshield wipers, tires, it would even pass any smog requirements in your State.

The last time there was such a huge price increase there were gas shortages and days you could get gas based on even/odd license plates. That's not happening now.

So why is this happening besides the greedy getting greedier? Have they done something to make the price raise in the market?

Will they not sell the gas (or crude oil if you want to be specific) if we won't pay a certain price per barrel?

What is the driving force of it raising in cost? What has changed since last year or the year before?

Any answers?:truce:

Thanks Palmer, I needed that!

Let's see, I I did a creative requisition to my neighbor's new VW Beetle, removed the body and sold it for scrap, I know where I can get a dune buggy body that needs the frame, engine, tranny, etc..... hey, this might work too. And I know that I'd still have to buy gas, but I wouldn't have to worry about stopping half way to work to recharge.
