It's stil relatively cheap compared to most parts of the world...so I can't really complain too much. Though like most bills I hate to see that gas bill in the mail.

jaguarr · 02-01-2007, 10:10 AM

Mmmmm......war profiteering. Goes great with steak and chicken as a side dish or as a tasty treat all by itself.

The gas companies are making record profits but they all deem it to be derived from extraordianry revenues due to the high prices of oil which are driven by socio-economic factors including the middle eastern conflict.

Your price is not likely to decrease anytime soon.

Cost for a barrel is down to $54-$57

Last time it was that low gas only cost $1.50-$1.75/gal

If we lower gas prices too much then it will enbolden the terrorists.

Places like Europe, China, and Japan pay way more than we do so quit your whining.

don't you make me come up there and force you to fill up my tank sir!

redmarvel · 02-02-2007, 07:48 AM

Because:

1. most people aren't willing to find alternative methods of getting to and from places

2. they control the market and most vehicles require gasoline

3. eventually they will run out of gasoline and these guys want to make their money while they still have something to make it with

4. no one believes they make enough money
