Rising gas prices are really just a "Test" by Big American Oil to see just what the market will bear! So far Americans aren't even thinking about let alone considering cutting back by taking transit and leaving their gas-guzzling cars at home.Maybe if US Corporate Oil (who really control OPEC) raises the price of gas to $10 dollars a gallon,maybe...just maybe some Americans will really start to flirt with the idea of cutting back!

A big thanks to the wacko enviromentalists who have succeeded in making it so we don't drill in ANWAR, and no to nuclear energy!

Going to $4.00? Good! Hope we get to $6.00 by summer! Maybe people will wake up to the fact that alternative energy is not only necessary to save the planet, but their wallets too. Money, and the lack thereof, seems to be the only thing that motivates change.

Brought to you by the Republican White House, the Republican Congress '94-2006, and the Republican Senate. Hey trolls, let's talk a little bit about the Carter economy compared to the Bush economy. Come on big mouths.

this it in a nutshell,this is Bush/Cheney a big f**k you to the American people before they leave office,they have stolen as much as they can from the treasury, they are i'll be up front with people screwing us on oil prices and this is going to their last big screw you before they leave ,INFLATION is here no matter what fixed government reports say ,and the dems congress allowing the Bush/Cheney regime get away with crimes to numerous to mention makes you wonder no matter dems or repukes there all in it to screw the American people , these are truely dark times people cause the dems are no better then the repukes for allowing all this to go on without any consequences,so INFLATION and the economic storm is hitting and it's going to be lot's of downward spiral for years for all this fraud in banks with the manipulating the subcrime mortgage mess and in oil companies with manipulating oil prices just means were all screwed big time

I love the use of the example of the woman who can't afford movies for her kids. Well let's look -

1.) she has an old Dodge Caravan - There's the first problem. A famous gas hog.

2.) she can't take her 4 kids to the movies. There's the second problem. She had 2 kids too many. If she stopped at 1 or 2, she'd be fine.

It's all Nader's fault.

The Surge Is Working!

The falling value of the dollar will be a significant contributor to the price increases.

cognito ergo populistae

Oh no, all those fat bastards driving their big suv's might have to sell them. good luck with that.

Good!!

Get it up to $6, $7 a gallon
and America might start to get the
message and stop letting oilmen
continue to run the entire planet
as they have since the 19th freaking
century!

And today Exxon doesn't want to pay one dime
for the Valdez spill! Not a dime!

Dmonic, rapacious bastards whose greed
knows no boundaries!

Pour money into alternative energy and scare
the bejesus out of these crooks!

Reality check: most environmentalists always complained that gas costs were too low. So unintentionally Bush/Cheney, two most ridiculous anti-envir­onmentalis­ts are helping with their pro- dirty fuel policies. Now that the gas is so expensive, (in Holland it's about $7 a gallon) there's political and economic pressure to finance more RD in alternative fuels and use more available tech. solutions.
For my money, I would legislate a serious luxury tax on any non-commercial vehicle below 25 MPG and quadruple registration fees on the same vehicles.

how many times have we heard the promise of $4 gasoline in the past year? I just counted; 7. how many times has it happened? 0. and is there something new to make this time different? nope. hurricane threats? no.
the bottom line here is the market is NOT being controlled by OPEC this time; it's strictly speculators. they had quite the frustrating time last year, ready to raise prices the minute one of the hurricanes hit the Gulf Coast. much to their chagrin, they all hit Mexico or Central America instead. however, every time (like right now) a refinery goes down for any reason (like normal maintenence) speculators raise prices thru the roof. this never used to happen before, until Katrina. they then found a really fertile paranoid public out there, just like we see posting here.
as far as oil reserves still in the ground goes, who has the big dipstick stuck in there, and knows exactly how much is left? I don't think anyone really knows; it's all just speculation.

$4 a gallon? This can't be.

Nancy Pelosi guaranteed in the Fall of '06, if Democrats took the House and Senate, they would bring the price of gas DOWN.

Pelosi lied, people can't drive!

This is Big Oil's one last dash for the cash before the Novemeber elections.
