EVERY BODY NEEDS TO GET TOGETHER AND NOT DO ANYTHING FOR 1 WEEK

[kawGIRL]

I have said this before, we could go without Arab oil, half of our clients at our company are oil companies, I have been there for 22 years, we went and cleaned up the Valdez spill, we do all kinds of Environmental Reports for all the major oil companies, the Government, the Navy and independent committees all over the world.  So there is a ton of oil in Trinidad, South America, Indonesia, Russia, Alaska and THE GULF OF MEXICO! but if the US does not build more refinery's it won't work.

I heard on the news yesterday that when Bush came into office gas was $1.58

It's all politics!

[Mudneck]

I think the govt is screwing all of us!

Mortaging America's future
for a quick buck

It's one of the most amazing displays of journalistic incompetence and malpractice in recent memory.

The US news media failed to draw the obvious connection between the bizarre federal law enforcement investigation and leak campaign about the private life of New York Governor Spitzer and Spitzer's all out attack on the Bush administration for its collusion with predatory lenders.

While the international credit system grinds to a halt because of a superabundance of bad mortgage loans made in the US, the news media failed to cover the details of Spitzer's public charges against the White House.

Yet when salacious details were leaked about alleged details of Spitzer's private life, they took that information and made it the front page news for days.

To the 9/11 fiasco, the Iraq War, the travesty of the federal response to Hurricane Katrina, and the shredding of the US Constitution, we can now add a deliberate and reckless undermining of the credit and banking system of the US to its list of "accomplishments."

It was a $1.42 a gallon kawgirl.

We can drill off of florida, off of alaska and the mid west plains. We can build refinerys and the price will be the same because all the pricing goes through opec.

Did anyone else see today that the senate is trying to role back those tax cuts that bush gave the oil companies. It saved them 19 billion dollars since bush cut them. Bush said he will veto the bill. I'm glad to say I didn't vote for this moron.

[SkyHighT100]

Honestly, I dont think getting the oil is our biggest issue - have you seen the latest profits for the oil companys??? How about they lower thier profit margin a bit - that alone would drop the price of gas considerably! Hell, with the money those guys have in thier bank accounts as it is - they' never feel the hit anyway - again its all about big business, big money, and big politics.

[Slick89]

Thats why it cost more to buy eggs and milk these days. In fact a lot of goods are more expensive because they have to raise price to pay these drivers more to deliver

[kawGIRL]

The excuse for the high profits is because they are large companies  yeah right

[Tecatematt]

That's a Cartel for ya  Pretty much we can't do anything about it, there is no power greater then theres when it comes to monitoring how they do business.

Pretty much Margin is Profit.. there is no such thing as them losing money but not making ENOUGH!!

I really like the movie V for Vendetta for those have seen you know what I mean...

[SkyHighT100]

Ya, V for Vendetta is definately an awesome movie

Thats it in a nutshell! Why are there no new refineries being built in the US???
Boy the news was being generous. Gas was $.93 a gallon when Bush made office.
When I was a kid they said there was an oil shortage. It was ALL BS. There is a man made shortage because OPEC dictates who pulls how much out of the ground to create a supply and demand scenario that works best for them.
But I don't know what to do about it?

[Ida_Mann]

you gotta be kidding me, the last time I saw a per gallon price for gas below $1 was in 1994,,,,I remember because I ran out of gas in my '74 malibu classic and fogot my wallet that day,,,,,I rolled into a gas station that I just happened to be next to and found $1.10 in change on the floor and bought just over a gallon of gas to get me home.

Energy crisis? Venezuela gas is cheaper than water

 
Taxi driver Jaime Tinoco works the streets of Caracas in a 1976 Chevy Nova that guzzles 19 gallons (72 liters) of gas a day. But he doesn't worry about fuel efficiency -- filling his tank costs just $2.30.

While US consumers struggle with soaring energy prices, Venezuela's gas is now the world's cheapest at 12 cents a gallon and Washington's regional foe, President Hugo Chavez, vows to maintain subsidies that keep fuel dirt-cheap.

"Those gringos have everything -- so why does their gas cost so much?" asked Tinoco between chuckles as he navigated a midday traffic jam. "Don't they have oil reserves?"

Chavez, a self-proclaimed socialist and critic of President Bush, has even begun subsidizing fuel for poor U.S. neighborhoods as U.S. consumers brace for average summer gas prices of $2.71 a gallon -- 34 cents higher than last summer.

In Venezuela, the world's No. 5 oil exporter, drivers fill their tanks for less than the price of a cheap breakfast, and love to point out that gasoline costs less than mineral water.

The nation's gasoline is now the world's cheapest, according to an International Monetary Fund report released in April that shows Venezuelan gas prices as about a third of those in oil-producing giant Saudi Arabia.

Shiny SUVs and rusty 1970s-era sedans share the streets of Venezuelan cities as drivers shrug off fuel costs.

Low-priced fuel is considered a birthright in Venezuela, which sells 1.2 million barrels per day of oil to the United States -- the world's biggest gas guzzler.
