I'll try not to rant but the gas companys buisness plan is to restrict the supply so to raise the prices. The cost to them will be the same but the proffit will continue to rise anualy. The plan is to not increase production untill 2013.

The war was over seven years ago , and in Afganistan ,,,,,,,WTF!

I don't know if that's the case or not, but I'd have a problem believing there's collusion between all the oil companies.

Now if go with your hypothesis, should a company be forced to sell a commodity they possess. I doubt that Kelloggs would flood the market with Rice Krispies as it would cause prices to crash.

I live in Wisconsin and it"s $4.05 a gallon here. Boycotting is a fantastic idea and no it won't go up the day. I worked at a gas station and the price went down the next day. It's the only way for us to get the prices down. I think memorial weekend is a perfect time to boycott any and all gas stations. The big oil companies will see that we're really ticked about this crap. This needs to be nation wide and
with the internet it certainly is a possibility. We keep hearing about how gas is supposed to go down AFTER memorial weekend. Bull, let's show them the American people have spoken.

Well as a former dispatcher for fuel trucks I CAN honestly tell you that there IS collusion between oil companies.

As far as the selling Commodities, I think that if someone came out with a cost effective solution for a different more economical vehicle that cost less than what we are paying now that there would be a real desire for it, but my understanding is that the oil companies have been bullying those pet projects out of construction for years.

$4.00 per gallon for milk sucks too.

Still using Petrofuel!
Unless you go Hydro and Solar.

Air is still free

ShSHHHHHHHHHH,Not so loud!!!!!

They can't tax my lungs

The gas station on the corner charges 50 cents for air and 99 cents for water. The water gets taxed the air dose'nt,,,,, for now.

They have us over the barrel. The only choice for me is to cut down on driving...and figure out a way to claim driving on my taxes.

Well if you think thats bad it's 4.72 per US/Gal here.

Thats very bad and it sucks.And everyday i read these kind of threads am thankful for my little German car that runs on vegetable oil ,but is a very fuel effecent diesel just the way it is.

I thought this hyperinflationary cycle was just about over as quite a bit of industry has slowed down.

Then i read about "Peak Oil "..supply..I know i know.we have enough oil forever.Well seems we do,but it's the refineries that we don't have up to the task.

Grrr.HANG in there.CAR POOL if you can.

..Change your filters,,Tune ups fresh oil and filter in the engine.
Clean ,and Wax your car.Tire pressure matters too.

Yes wash your car,change the spark plugs when appropiate (3000 miles , same with oil) (sorry,, not sure what the kilometer equilivant is).oh,,,and the air filters and PCV valve. Tire presure causes a drag when low (one mpg per pound). If you are thinking about a hybrid then check their stats, my last car (nisson altima got better gas milage than some of the new hybrids). Don't be green washed , its bad for you and it's bad for me.


Dennis ( do the right thing and you will never be wrong)

now it's4.08

Sobering is pumping over $17 worth of gas into the tank of a motorcycle. Thankfully, I don't have to do it very often...

This war from April


NEW YORK—Oil prices rose sharply Friday on news that a ship under contract to the U.S. Defense Department fired warning shots at two Iranian boats. Retail gas prices as expected rose further into record territory, nearing $3.60 a gallon.

Word that a U.S. ship had fired on the boats in the Persian Gulf raised concerns that a conflict between U.S. and Iranian forces could cut oil supplies from the region. Light, sweet crude for June delivery jumped as high as $119.50 on the news before retreating to trade up $2.70 at $118.76 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Prices were already up before the report on news of a pipeline attack in Nigeria and a looming refinery strike in Scotland.

In Nigeria, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, or MEND, said its fighters hit an oil pipeline late Thursday, the fourth conduit the group has attacked in the past week. MEND said the pipeline belongs to a Royal Dutch Shell PLC joint venture. A Shell spokesman confirmed one of its pipelines had been hit, but provided no additional details.

MEND is the main militant group behind a series of recent attacks in Nigeria's southern oil region. Earlier this week, Shell said an earlier attack cut its Nigerian oil production by about 170,000 barrels a day.

Separately, workers at an ExxonMobil Corp. joint venture in Nigeria said they were cutting production by an unspecified amount to demand more pay. Officials said the facility, which typically

Even more sobering is putting 25.00 in your truck gas tank and only getting 1/4 of a tank!!!!!!!!!!
