Gasoline prices hit a new high here today!

Post by wabi »

Just outside of town on my way home today and the radio announcer mentioned gas prices were going up again. The first station I passed had already raised the price from $2.91/gal to $3.16/gal. The station at the end of my street was still at $2.91, and there was a line 3 or 4 cars deep at each pump! I ran home, grabbed my mower cans, called my wife to get her car, and topped off everything. Guess the oil companies will continue to set record profits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last week, I paid $3.69/gallon for regular gasoline in the DC Metro Area. I know that many people do not want to hear it, but we can thank the Bush family and all of their rich oil buddies for this mess.

Got say you guys are missing the boat.
WE BUY THE GAS AND ONLY COMPLAIN RATHER THAN DEVELOP ALTERNATIVES. We made the decison to support gasoline and not make the pea brains in Congress do anything about it. The price of crude has doubled because the Persian (Iran the largest oil exporter) is fighting a multi-front war with us that we are financing through higher crude prices. Yes the oil companies are gouging us. But get real. The crude prices have gone from $30 to $75 a barrel. You think they oil producers are working twice as hard to get the oil out of the ground and that is why the price has more than doubled. Bin Laden understands ecomonics very well. The way to beat us is to drain us financially and use the money from oil sales to keep the wars going in Kashmir, Lebanon, Iraq, Indonesia and anywhere else they can.

Don't blame others. It is our choice. Let's cut the f---ers off at the knees and find something else (liquified coal there is 300 years supply in the world) to power our vehicles and still use the same distribution system we use for gas. We are smart enough to eliminate the pollution. If we do that we have dried up their souce of money and we can take all our money back selling them water.

Can I give Kendo kid an amen . lets do something about it develop biodeisel. go electric , methanol. all these ideas are workable I think . There are some problems to overcome but I think that it can be done. From what I have read the biodeisel is one of the more feasible alternatives. I think this needs to be pursued . and as a bonus it should be good for the farmers.

our government is letting the people down,, of course we have an oil man in the oval office,, so why does he care he is getting rich,, read an article the CEO of Exon Mobill makes over 200 million a year. what could possibly justify that kind of wage.. even back in the eirly 80`s there was a spell when gas went over 100 a barrel and it didnt effect gas prices at all.. now every time the wind blows in an unusual direction they raise the price of gas, we might live to see another civil war right here .. just my thoughts,,

"Big Oil" is trying to do to alternate sources of energy what the "Big Three" did to Preston Tucker.

I find it extremely doubtful. I think no matter who would be in office we would have been stuck with this oil manipulation by the oil execs and the traders.
Man, you need to stop drinking the KoolAid full strength! Bush is not a conservative. He may pray to Jesus, but that does not make one a conservative. Too many new comers to the GOP confuse social conservatism with traditional Republican conservatism. Social conservatism IS NOT a traditional Republican value. In fact, it is a Southern Democratic value (see Barry Goldwater and the Southern Strategy). Traditional conservatives believe in three core principles; namely, fiscal conservancy, small/limited government, and limited government intrusion.

P.S. For what is it worth, I was a member of the GOP before Ronald Reagan took office. I am now a member of the Libertarian Party.
