I read an article in some science magazine at school a few weeks back. (I have senioritis and don't pay attention in Physics so I read magazines :thumbup:) Anyway it had a statement from a major oil company's rep (of course they won't say name they are paranoid). He said there is no shortage of gas nor is there any signs of a shortage, they are raising prices now before there actually is a shortage of gas so they can keep their profits up. Sucks doesn't it?
I filled up my tank on Saturday, it was like 42.00$

saddam owns a fraction of the worlds oil.
I beat there is something you don't know.
The Bush family has been one of the weathiest, most successful oil tycoons throughout the past 2 centuries. George Bush and his family are the reasons our gas prices are so high. He is tearing this world apart. He is trying to turn this country into a dictatorship! He must be stopped!

I'd hate 2 say it, but it's just good business on their part. Supply and demand, we can't live without the stuff and they have it all sitting under their noses. Also let's not forget our oh so honest oil companies in America are marking it up to make a profit.>owned<
I'm just glad I got a job and it's just a nuissance to pay.

Blame America. We are the ones who topped off our own oil wells in an attempt to hoard our own oil and use up the oil from other countries. There are tons of the shit in storage just like when we had the "SUPPOSED" oil shortage of the 70's. Our surplus of the crude is staggering. Money, money and more money. That's all it's about. Greed is an amazing thing.
We run IRAQ and we are still paying these bozos for their oil. We should be getting as much as oil as we want/need for nothing.

Getting pissed at me will just give u an ulcer, it's not gonna change anything.:silly: Ripping off people is the American way if u hadn't noticed, look at the prices on Cigs, beer, clothes, oh yeah shoes, those $200 pair of Jordans u got in your closet, only cost $40 to make.
I'm just pointing out supply and demand, Bush's constituents are big business......they're making a killing.......so they're happy, the rest of us have to deal with it, like driving my other car during the week, and pulling my baby girl out on the weekends. This time will pass, it's just the Summer driving season, so they rose the prices, that's all.
Oh, I c it now, the ownage was toward all of us being dependent on oil, not me saying I outdid u or anything, my bad on that man.

At least most of you can get gas, this past few days only a few stations got gas. Last week most of them ran out, then only had regular. The blame is on some local vaopizer for gas broke and won't be fixed until the end of the month.

I will agree with you that we are probably getting screwed from all over. But the oil companies have been screwing us for longer than just the last year. There was a time when Clinton was in office, and oil was $12 a barrell and we were paying about $1.10 a gallon of gas. Now the price of oil has gone up to $75.00 a barrell that is a 600% increase and the average price for a gallon of gas is $3.00. If the gallon was to follow the trend of the barrell we should be paying $6.60 a gallon. So if people want to blame it on presidents Clinton was screwing us too(in more ways than one). But, I do feel for you in Cali, you are paying unreasonable prices for gas.
