Its gettin crazy, pulled in to my normal station to fill up. First i notice there are no prices anywhere. i pull up to the pump looked out the window. bout had a heartattack. 2 freakin 40. i sat there for a moment takin in the shock. the threw it in rev and left. madder than when i pulled in.this is gettin nuts why are the prices skyrocketing.

 

Supply and demand.

 

.....and around here we get to pay for all the thieving low-lifes
that "Pump & Run" without paying.

 

It's the thieves in the state capitol and DC that are the bigger problem.

 

Let me get this straight,.........OPEC members are charging $60 a barrel for crude (and getting it from us & the rest of the world), and you think DC is the problem?

When is the last time any foreign oil producing country asked the US to set the price we'd like to pay for oil?

 

It costs money to transport the oil also. So when we're forced to buy oil from overseas part of the price is for transportation. The tree huggers in the government prevent us from using domestic oil reserves so we must make up the shortfall. I agree though that a big part of the problem is OPEC however how much of their protests that they're pumping as fast as they can is actually true is anyones guess.

Taxes and regulations have a HUGE effect on prices though. I'm sure the refinery explosion in TX isn't going to help the situation either.

We have a refinery right here in town and it's STILL cheaper to drive 30 miles to a station in OK because of taxes on the fuel. IN fact, OK has the cheapest fuel in the country because the taxes are the lowest. That's going to change soon though.

What did the people expect when they voted in a president and vice president who both make their millions off of oil?

 

Good thing we don't run our trucks on Ketchup ain't it?

 

Yeah but at least we don't need to worry about men marrying men and having queer babies.

WELL SAID!!!!!

 

LOL ME LIKE

 

use Red Gold tomato products and be happy.....

 

It's not Washington, its Wall Street. That has even been on the main stream, left wing news. Must hold some water.

 

But that explanation takes all the conspiracy theory element out of it.

The same folks that will pay $5.00 for a 20 oz. cup of coffee every day without batting an eyelash, and $1.50 for a 16 oz bottle of water, want to complain about $2.00 a gallon gasoline.

 

Just you all wait, now that you all lost a major refinery, stock up now. It's going to get crazy this summer!!
