Gas Prices!

[Noir]

Damn it Randy, I guess I should have clicked on your http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/petition/gasout.htm link.

I have quite a bit of data that was mentioned there on snoops and then some to prove that it wouldn't work . Pretty little line graphs with lots of colors as well as the import statistics from each oil company and the price per barrel for the past 30 years from a relatively reputable source that I would not disclose in hopes that Mr. Robert would try to argue that I was wrong, but since you already put it out there, I won't bother.

Interesting, found this website, these guys probably came up with that email that Greg got.

Back to oil prices. The price will go up and eventually the price will go down, then up, then down, up, down, up, down, up, down.

Sidewinder seems to have a grasp of current events that will lead to the increase or decrease of oil prices. Randy and Sidewinder's got it down with the dogs that hunt and derricks that bark.



and if venezuela doesn't like it, we should go invade them too .

I fully agreed. If they have the same talent, they should always hire the people at home.

but only if they are cheaper or demands the same pay as the foreign counterparts. i love good, cheap labor.

exploitation, the only way to profit!

It's sad, cause these problems now are going to be my generation's problems in several years. It pisses me off when you get these people who want to use everything now and forget what happens tomorrow. These short-sighted fools are going to ruin a lot.

Get use to it Eric. Welcome to Earth! Humanity at it's best!

Please shutup. The gas pumps have nothing to do with our President. Here in madison, I'm constantly bombarded with "Bush is the anti-christ! Oh bush is responsible for everything bad in this country! Wahh! I'm a liberal! I like Kerry! I don't have a reason for liking Kerry, I just know he isn't Bush so i'm going to vote for Kerry!"

UGH. Give it a rest. You go right ahead and vote for the jiggilo Kerry. But please keep stupid comments like that to yourself.

Now, now Mr. Robert. Greg was just stating his shortsighted opinion. We are allowed that right?

BTW a few points -

Bush is not the anti-christ, I am.
Bush is not responsible for everything bad in this country, we all are.
Wahh - Bahh
I do have a reason for liking Kerry, I think this basically sums it up in a nutshell.

Hi everyone, SS is pay as you go, so the money they take out today is paying for someone who has already retired. If your still working you have no money built up. you get credits as to how long you worked when you retire. Don't blame the gas co's They are just passing on the price increase from OPEC. There was a story on the news about a guy in Cleveland who was an IT guy for BP and made about $80,000 Plus. He is layed off and a guy from India making less than $10,000 is taking his job and the guy had to train his replacement! Working at Burger Biggie will not buy a new car , buy a house, or put much food on the table. Take care, BOBB

Meanwhile, I continue to pay 1.87 per gallon, the cheapest I've found (Ashland brand -- A Kentucky born and bred product -- also makers of Valvoline). If prices continue to rise, I'll have to get a Justy to drive my 80 mile round trip commute.

As much as people would like to tag "Dubya" with oil prices, sorry, that's one dog that won't hunt. You're barking up the wrong derek.

As for "welcome to the real world," if I wanted to pay higher prices, I'd move to Europe. I don't. That's why I live in 'Merca. I'll keep my freedom, thankyaverymuch and my right to piss and moan about the government, gas prices and all else.

Thank you for the info Randy, That is why I started this thread was to find out if there was any truth to this and see if it was worth the time energy or application. I still wish I knew of a way to help our gas prices out. Every little bit helps.

Thanks for the valued input guys,

"And in a related news item today", it's reported that within three decades China's industrial emissions will nearly be as much as the entire rest of the planet! Whew, & I thought the smog was bad in Mexico City. But, ya gotta' love democracy & capitalism amongst a billion once healthy bike riders. Give'm Bimmers & they'll soon be outsourcing auto parts manufacturing to the exploited, pedal pushing peasant workers in New Hampshire. All this under the heading of, "Be careful of what you ask for......"

Yep, that woulda been me (the attendant, I mean).

My Dad used to pull up to the pump and say, "A dollar's worth of Ethyl" which would get the family car through the week. I was a very young lad at that time. Since we always went to the same service station and always, for some reason, got the same attendant, I thought my Dad was saying, "A dollar's worth, Ethel." I never could understand how any self-respecting mother could name her son "Ethel."

Hi Randy, Ethel/Ethyl had a brother named Sue and the family car was a car named Su. Take care, BOBB

Just a note on Sinclair... I work for the Company.. All of our oil is domestic..

Just thought you should know...
And it's all I put in my car....
You know that the reason is, you get a discount mitch......

When I look at the price of a gallon of gasoline, I can't help but think it is way too low.

It is my opinion that you need to look at the overall cost to all of us when you evaluate something like this. In fact, I would argue that by paying an artificially low price for gasoline, you and I are helping to put more ridiculous monster SUVs on the roads. If the price of gas more accurately included the costs of road maintenance, environmental clean-up, maintaining a massive military to protect our global energy interests, etc, then the amount of money we individually paid towards these costs would be more directly impacted by the choices we EACH make about what to drive, where to drive, etc.

Right now, the person who carpools, or uses our pathetic public transportation system, or makes other decisions to reduce his fuel usage pays basically the same amount in federal, state, and local income taxes towards the costs I've outlined above as the person who drives their Hummer 100 miles round trip to work everyday, by themselves. To me, at least, that doesn't seem fair. I am not saying I want more taxes, just that existing taxes and costs be more accurately tied to the things that make them necessary.

Just my opinion, and another way of looking at the issue.

[Sonar]

That, rufus, is one of the reasons the fuel costs nearly $5/G in Sweden ....

Like my father use to say: Soon the gasoline gonna cost what it is worth ....

Destroy the planet, take no prisoners. I should be newly dead before the pollution travels to the redneck state of Georgia. Now what would suck is if I believed in that Buddhist reincarnation jumbo. Then we'd all be really screwed. Someone give me a bible please. I don't want to come back!
