Outrageous Gas prices, WTF!!!!! Options

[playr158]

1 thing i can tell you is that government regulations on prices won't help anything....probably make them worse...

oil price won't jump from 75$ a barrel to 500$ a barrel just cause iran hates us thats the biggest bull**** i've ever heard....a 425$ price jump? thats just retarded..

but i have to agree that its not the companies jacking up prices to benefit their pocket....the world drives more now then they ever have which means we buy more gas....common sense says the more that is bought the more profit that is made...just remember the company's have to put gas in their car too why would they want to rape people for no reason..they would be raping themselves

its all just supply and demand...and that yes we do need to update some of our refineries cause we do consume more then we ever have and they are "struggling" to keep up with the demand

I look at it this way, it takes about 30 bucks (when gas was around 2.20ish a gallon) to fill up, with the increase it brings it to about 33-34 bucks. The extra 3-4 bucks means i cant get any hungry man dinners for that week. But I heard in Colorado the prices are supposed to hit a peak of 5 bucks a gallon by the end of the summer...

Dude, two years ago it was only 1.25 a gallon. I remember back in '98 when 87 Octane hit a low of 89 cents a gallon. I filled my car up for 10 bucks once. I miss the Clinton administration.

clinton didnt do anything to help the economy, except not f it up, the Demon-craps will always claim to have done something when in all reality, it was regans administration that set up the economy for clinton, it takes our gov/economy a while to see the changes that have been signed into law. and dont even say that he ballenced the budget because he didnt. and stop rippin on Bush people, he had no power to do anything about katrina, thats congresses job, he doesnt pass laws, sure he can veto but congress has all the power, and he is a good president, he was doin great until 9/11, i hate michael moore, e has had to deal with a ton of tough s*** unlike clinton who did NOTHING. Baby killers
ok thats the end of my republican ranting

no they arnt, we talked about it in economics, with the price of crude oil right now, to make any profit, selling unrefined oil, not paying any wokers, and using no trucks or anything to deliver the fuel, it would cost about $1.75 per gallon, then add the refining cost, and pay the workers, and gas up the trucks that are moving it around, the problem is our refineries are old and not running at capacity and we are all driving to much

dude ex/mobile made 8.4 billion dollars in just profit, tell me y they cant drop the gas prices again?????

im just goin by what they said on cnn. but if it did would u not buy gas just to spite them??? or would u bite the bullet??? but like i said they can do what ever they want. cuz like it or not we will pay out. oh and look at how much it went up just cuz its now 91 bucks a barrel.
