Name your $/gallon
I would love to pay what it costs, without taxes and gov/ enviro regs on producers and refiners. Here in CA the taxes are over 80 cents a gallon.
Most people blame big oil, but between OPEC (a cartell) and taxes/regs, that is why our fuel is so high. Many look at the profits and go man they are taking us to the cleaners!, Many products that we buy and never think twice about have a much higher profit margin. The reason the oil company's are raken in the doe is cuz we are guzzlin the stuff!
Any body know how many holes they have to drill to find the stuff? know what it costs? ever hear of R&D, 10-30,000 ft holes arent cheap and with regs and impact studys the costs are huge. they may drill several (in the millions) with no results. Thats my two cents, great now I am all riled up.

Yay! Some people that actually have an idea what it really COSTS to find that oil. Not to mention how much it costs to get it out of the ground! I've been on jobs (not even big ones!) where it costs the exploration company tens of thousands of dollars just to get an idea of what is in the hole they just drilled.

And then the enviros chain themselves to the derek!




God Bless America!
