What is it that your saying?

The cost of gas is because of manipulation by the "rich Republicans" who own stocks and can afford the increase? That's really foolish.

Have you considered the idea that the value of the dollar is falling and we've reduced our supply and ability to drill in this country, increasing our dependency?
 
I am thinking its greed,the falling $, and the middle east saying merry xmass and FU America !
 
In Denver metro - premium about $2.74 - read it and weep... smile.

So - about that ability to drill in this country cal - where did you get that? Both permits and drilling are way up in Colorado - thanks to horizontal drilling and fracturing. On my way to work I see at least 10 new wells being worked on. I know they are up in Texas as well.

Offshore - things are still slow - but, it isn't all about the government - there is also the low price currently, and the unwillingness of large companies to take the risk until better safeguards can be implemented (does anyone really want to be the next BP?).

However, since oil is a commodity - it can be manipulated. I wouldn't go for 'rich republicans' but, certainly in the past (think about 2-1/2 years ago when gas was near $4 a gallon) it has been manipulated. And think of OPEC - they are constantly 'setting' prices - which is in reality a manipulation of the market.

The problem is that $100,000 can control $1,000,000 in oil vs. a 2-1 ratio in the stock market. Make it like the stock market and prices will fall substantially.
Consequently we have the largest oil stockpile right now since before the first Gulf war.
 
I think I read today the dollar was doing okay or moved up a little. But gas prices do suck.. $2.98 for regular. I think my Suburban is getting 13 mph ... sigh... I'm sure premium is .20 more, I don't pay attention in the winter since the LS sits in the garage.
 
Its funny cause water is more expensive than gas is....
 
Well I'm not riding it now... but the other 7 months of the year... and that's when I do most of my driving.
